Although job stress models suggest that changing the work social environment to increase resources improves psychological health, many intervention studies have weak designs and overlook influences of family caregiving demands. We tested effects an organizational designed supervisor support for nonwork roles, control in a results-oriented on distress health care employees who elderly, while simultaneously considering their own responsibilities. Using group-randomized field trial with...
Abstract Objective To test the association between workplace abuse exposure and injury risk among hospital workers. We hypothesized that exposed workers would have higher rates than unexposed Methods Survey of direct‐care (n = 1,497) in two hospitals. Exposure to was assessed through self‐report; occupational reports were extracted from employee records. tested associations non‐physical violence using log‐binomial regression multilevel modeling. Results Adjusted prevalence ratio (PR) for...
Meal breaks promote occupational health and safety; however, less is known about supervisors’ support for nurses’ meal breaks. In this study, the researchers tested whether frequency of was positively related to breaks, more frequent were associated with psychological distress. This study based on a cross-sectional survey 1,595 hospital nurses working 85 units supervised by nursing directors. Specific meal-break measured at director level; distress individual nurse level. Multilevel adjusted...
Obesity is associated with increased morbidity, occupational injuries, and premature mortality. also disproportionately affects blacks socioeconomically disadvantaged workers. However, few studies have evaluated national trends of obesity by employment industry overall especially race. To investigate race, we estimated the age-standardized prevalence from 2004 to 2011. We used direct age-standardization 2000 US Census population as standard among 136,923 adults in National Health Interview...
Firefighters endure large occupational burdens and generally operate under conditions of chronic sleep deficiency circadian disruption due to long shifts, plus interrupted emergency calls during the night. A typical shift for firefighters is 24-h on/48-h off, are expected use time-off recover from any debt, while balancing social, family, home responsibilities. This qualitative study sets out assess family dynamics how prioritize recovery at based on relationship or status, as well a fire...
Reducing maternal mortality ratio (MMR) remains a paramount goal for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), especially after COVID-19's devastating impact on health indicators. We describe our experience implementing the Hospital Padrino Strategy (HPS), collaborative model between high-complexity hospital (Fundación Valle del Lili) 43 medium- low-complexity hospitals in one Colombian department (an administrative territorial division) from 2021 to 2022, sustain trend towards reducing MMR....
Purpose: To estimate the effects of a workplace initiative to reduce work–family conflict on employee performance. Design: A group-randomized multisite controlled experimental study with longitudinal follow-up. Setting: An information technology firm. Participants: Employees randomized intervention (n = 348) and control condition 345). Intervention: intervention, “Start. Transform. Achieve. Results.” enhance employees’ over their work time, increase supervisors’ support for this change,...
Aims To test the associations of safety practices as reported by nurses and their respective unit supervisors with job satisfaction. Background Psychosocial workplace factors are associated satisfaction; however, it is unknown whether accounts differentially linked to this outcome. Methods Cross-sectional study design including (n = 1052) nested in 94 units two hospitals Boston (MA, USA). Safety refer identification control occupational hazards at unit. were measured aggregating nurses'...
Aim: To examine whether nursing homes’ quality of care was predicted by schedule control (workers’ ability to decide work hours), independently other staffing characteristics. Method: Prospective ecological study 30 homes in New England. Schedule self-reported via survey 2011-2012 ( N = 1,045). Quality measures included the prevalence decline activities daily living, residents’ weight loss, and pressure ulcers, indicators systematically linked with Outcomes data for 2012 were retrieved from...
Although some studies suggest that schedule control might promote mental health, research has over-relied on self-reports, which explain why the evidence is inconclusive and mixed. In this study, we introduce an analytical approach based coworkers' reports (in lieu of self-reports) in order to better characterize organizational nature control, address biases self-reports (e.g. reverse causation or confounding). Following job demand-control theoretical principles, cross-sectional study 1229...
Abstract Acute poisonings are a global public health problem, which implies costs and disease burden for society. In Colombia, there is significant underreporting of data on acute poisoning gaps the toxicological profile population. This study aims to identify epidemiology in high-complexity hospital southwestern Colombia. A descriptive with retrospective collection was performed. The variables were expressed through measure central tendency dispersion. Categorical described proportions....
Objectives. The COVID-19 pandemic imposed unprecedented safety challenges on health care facilities. This study examined whether workers who deemed a better response to the by their units or employers experienced lower psychological distress. Methods. Patient at system in Pacific Northwest were surveyed every 6 8 months from May 2020 2022 (n = 3468). Psychological distress was measured with Well-being Index (range: −2 7 points). Safety scored basis of participants’ ratings (on 1–5 scale)...

Abstract Construction is one of the most dangerous occupations in U.S. Within industry, residential construction workers are at elevated risk for worksite injury and death, yet rarely focus safety research intervention.

This prospective study observed turnover during 1 year at a community hospital in Oregon ( n = 39). The tested whether nurses who baseline nominated fewer peers as sources of safe patient handling support were more likely to quit than with supportive peers. Six tenure under 2 years left their positions. Nurses reported half many co‐workers relative remained employed, and each additional peer nomination reduced the risk by 15%. Further research should establish contribution safety reducing...
