Zusammenfassung. Irritation beschreibt subjektiv wahrgenommene emotionale und kognitive Beanspruchungen im Kontext der Erwerbsarbeit. Anhand von 15 Studien (N = 4 030) werden Skalen- Itemparameter Irritations-Skala berichtet. Die Ergebnisse untermauern die branchenübergreifende Validität Reliabilität Skala. Erste Hinweise deuten darauf hin, dass schwerwiegenderen Befindensbeeinträchtigungen, wie depressiven Symptomen, vorgelagert ist. Neben einer Anwendung in arbeitspsychologischen...
Subjective workload in healthcare employees is suspected to be important for the performance and safety of delivery. This study investigates associations between workflow interruptions hospital doctors' capability manage their perceived a safe efficient manner.To examine relationship observed with during day clinical shifts.A prospective 43 full shift observations 29 doctors working internal medicine surgical specialties. Workflow were assessed via observation using previously validated...
This study links idiosyncratic deals (i-deals) to job design theory. It investigates the impact of individually negotiated changes on performance, self-efficacy, and psychological strain through their intervening effects work design. Based a sample 187 health care professionals employed by hospital in Germany, three types design-related i-deals were investigated: (1) task, (2) career, (3) flexibility i-deals. Consistent with hypotheses, i-deal had differential characteristics, each turn...
Summary Work ability describes employees' capability to carry out their work with respect physical and psychological job demands. This study investigated direct interactive effects of age, control, the use successful aging strategies called selection, optimization, compensation (SOC) in predicting ability. We assessed SOC control by using employee self‐reports, we measured supervisor ratings. Data collected from 173 health‐care employees showed that was positively associated Additionally,...
This study aimed to develop, implement, and evaluate an occupational health intervention that is based on the theoretical model of selection, optimization, compensation (SOC). We conducted a stratified randomized controlled with 70 nurses community hospital in Germany (94% women; mean age 43.7 years). Altogether, training consisted 6 sessions (16.5 hours) over period 9 months. The took place groups 6-8 employees. Participants were familiarized SOC developed implemented personal project cope...
Hospital physicians' time is a critical resource in medical care. Two aspects are of interest. First, the spent direct patient contact – key principle effective Second, simultaneous task performance ('multitasking') which may contribute to error, impaired safety behaviour, and stress. There call for instruments assess these aspects. A preliminary study gain insight into activity patterns, allocation activities hospital physicians was carried out. Therefore an observation instrument...
Background Interruptions of hospital doctors' workflow are a frequent stressor, eventually jeopardising quality clinical performance. To enhance the safety work, it is necessary to analyse frequency and circumstances interruptions. Aim quantify interruptions among doctors, identify sources relate concurrent activities. Methods Within typical hospital, 32 participant observations full work shifts were carried out. Time–motion information was collected on types interruption activities analysed...
<h3>Background</h3> Workflow interruptions, multitasking and workload demands are inherent to emergency departments (ED) work systems. Potential effects of ED providers’ on care quality patient safety have, however, been rarely addressed. We aimed investigate the prevalence associations staff9s workflow with outcomes. <h3>Methods</h3> applied a mixed-methods design in two-step procedure. First, we conducted time-motion study observe rate interruptions activities. Second, during 20-day shifts...

Pediatricians' workload is increasingly thought to affect pediatricians' quality of work life and patient safety. Workflow interruptions are a frequent stressor in clinical work, impeding clinicians' attention contributing malpractice. We aimed investigate prospective associations workflow with multiple dimensions mental pediatricians during day shifts. In an Academic Children's Hospital study 28 full shift observations was conducted among providing ward coverage. The prevalence based on...
Abstract Background Health care employees in Germany and worldwide are exposed to a variety of stressors. However, most the hospitals lack systematic workplace health management. Thus, this study aims at evaluation effects behavioural as well organisational (´complex´) intervention on mental well-being hospital staff. Methods Mental (SEElische GEsundheit am Arbeitsplatz KrankeNhaus – SEEGEN) is an unblinded, multi-centred cluster-randomised open trial with two groups (intervention group (IG)...
We aim to extend current knowledge on associations between stressful work and sickness absence, first, by studying ERI absence among full-time employees from various occupations, second, investigating if vary age. use data four waves of the German socio-economic panel (GSOEP), collected men women 2006 2012, with 9418 observations. Stressful is measured a short form questionnaire. investigate an imbalance effort reward (ER ratio) as well two main components ("high effort" "low reward")....
Previous research shows that work ability of nurses decreases with age. In our study we therefore addressed the following questions: Do successful ageing strategies at in terms selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC) support
Abstract Zur Vereinheitlichung der Vorgehensweise bei Nachrechnung von Straßenbrücken wurde in Deutschland im Mai 2011 die “Nachrechnungsrichtlinie” eingeführt. Im Rahmen eines deutschen Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen (BASt) initiierten und den Autoren des vorliegenden Beitrags bearbeiteten Forschungsvorhabens wurden vergangenen Monaten Nachrechnungsergebnisse zu insgesamt 146 Betonbrücken aus ganz gesammelt ausgewertet. Wesentliches Ziel Projekts war es, Grundlagen eine noch effizientere...

Background High workload is a major threat healthcare quality and performance. Selective considered enhance the efficient use intra‐individual resources and, therefore, expected act as buffer against negative effects Design applied diary design. Over five consecutive workday...
