Background: A non-negligible share of workers is affected by adverse health at the end of their careers. While many of them drop out of the labor force, others remain, prompting the question of how various health indicators interact to influence these different pathways. Therefore, we investigate the effect of multidimensional health patterns on labor force participation among older workers. Methods: We used six-year-longitudinal data from 5007 older workers (Mean age: 55.8 years; 55.9 % female) from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe. First, we conducted a latent transition analysis with four indicators (chronic diseases, limitations with activities, perceived health, and depression) to identify multidimensional health patterns. Second, we examined individual change in these patterns over time and their association with workers’ job situations and changes in work hours four years later using Wald-tests. Results: We identified four multidimensional health patterns with high structural stability over time (ranging from <.005 to .25): (1) Overall healthy workers, (2) workers with moderate activity limitations and low perceived health, (3) overall unhealthy workers, and (4) physically healthy workers with low perceived health and depressive symptoms. Furthermore, individuals predominantly remain in the same pattern over time, except for pattern (4), where 56% of the individuals transition to pattern (1). Moreover, we found differences between the patterns in job situation (p < .001) and changes in work hours (p < .001) four years later with patterns (2) and (4) showing the greatest reduction in working hours. Conclusions: The high rate of transitions from the pattern (4) to the more favorable pattern (1) may be explained by the relatively high potential for recovery from depression. Our findings suggest that interventions among older workers with depressive symptoms and moderate activity limitations may improve their chances to remain in the labor fo

Previous research suggests that employees can experience different types of demands at work. Challenge demands are motivating and goal oriented, whereas hindrance demands are excessively difficult and / or goal irrelevant. Similarly, previous research indicates that employees may think about work in different ways. Affective rumination involves unproductive, emotionally negative work-related thoughts, whereas problem-solving pondering involves productive, unemotional work-related thoughts. I assess challenge and hindrance demands as potential antecedents to the facets of work-related rumination and indicators of employee recovery and well-being (exhaustion and vigor) in both within- and between-person analyses. I additionally consider the role of work schedule and assess my hypothesized model on a sample including both traditionally scheduled and shift workers. My final sample consisted of 92 full-time (80 traditionally scheduled, 12 shift) employees who were sent three surveys per day over a 28-day survey period. Using multilevel structural equation modeling, I found evidence that work-related rumination may operate as a mechanistic pathway linking work demands to recovery indicators. Additionally, evidence from this dissertation suggests that problem-solving pondering may be detrimental to employee recovery at the daily level, but that it may be beneficial to employee recovery at the between-person level. This dissertation contributes to scientific understanding of potential antecedents of the different types of rumination and suggests that hindrance demands, which are almost universally treated as detrimental to employee recovery, may have competing positive and negative relationships with employee recovery.

We examined whether working rotating shifts, with or without night work, is associated with the purchase of prescribed sleep medication, and whether the association is dependent on age. Data were obtained from a longitudinal cohort study of Finnish public sector employees who responded to questions on work schedule and background characteristics in 2000, 2004 and 2008. The data were linked to national register data on redeemed prescriptions of hypnotic and sedative medications, with up to 11 years of follow-up. Age stratified Cox proportional hazard regression models were computed to examine incident use of medication comparing two groups of rotating shift workers (those working shifts that included night shifts and those whose schedules did not include night shifts) with day workers who worked in a similar range of occupations. Shift work with night shifts was associated with increased use of sleep medication in all age groups, after adjustments for sex, occupational status, marital status, alcohol consumption, smoking and physical activity levels (hazard ratio [HR], [95% confidence interval, CI] 1.14 [1.01-1.28] for age group <= 39 years; 1.33 [1.19-1.48] for age group 40-49 years; 1.28 [1.13-1.44] for age group >= 50 years). Shift work without nights was associated with medication use in the two older age groups (HR [95% CI] 1.14 [1.01-1.29] and 1.17 [1.05-1.31] for age groups 40-49 years and >50 years, respectively). These findings suggest that circadian disruption and older age puts rotating shift workers, and especially those who work nights, at increased risk of developing clinically significant levels of sleep problems.

Současná legislativa se zaměřuje na minimalizaci množství spotřebované energie při užívání stavby, není však řešena energie vynaložená při výstavbě objektu.

Background: Decreases in subjective sleep quality are prevalent among nurses and midwives engaged in rotating shift work. Objectives: The present study aimed to examine the relationship between differences in work schedules and subjective sleep quality among female nursing staff. Design: A cross-sectional survey design was used for descriptive and logistic regression analyses. Data collection was conducted from December 2016 to September 2017. Settings: Participants were recruited from five regional core hospitals in Japan. Participants: A total of 1253 nurses and midwives were included in the final analysis. Methods: Subjective sleep quality was assessed using the Japanese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Chronotype and social jet lag were calculated for both work day and work-free day. Symptoms related to restless legs syndrome/Willis-Ekbom disease were assessed using the Japanese version of the Cambridge-Hopkins questionnaire short form 13. Participants with the urge to move their legs, though not fulfilling the restless legs syndrome/Willis-Ekbom disease criteria, were classified as having leg motor restlessness. Logistic regression analyses for poor sleep were adjusted for age, body mass index, smoking, drinking, menstruation status, the presence of premenstrual syndrome, and the presence of a spouse. Results: Rates of poor sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score ?6) among those working, day shifts, rotating 12.5 hour night shifts, rotating 16 hour night shifts, and three-shift rotations were 41.2%, 51.1%, 44.5%, and 60.4%, respectively. Approximately 40% of three-shift rotation workers experienced difficulty initiating sleep. Shift workers tended to exhibit evening chronotype, delayed sleep phase, and high social jet lag. The prevalence of restless legs syndrome/Willis-Ekbom disease was 2.5%. Leg motor restlessness was observed in. 15.5% of participants.

Background: Poor mental health in junior clinicians is prevalent and may lead to poor productivity and significant medical errors. We aimed to provide contemporary data on the mental health of surgical trainees and identify risk factors relating to poorer mental health outcomes. Method(s): A detailed questionnaire was developed comprising questions based on the 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) and Physical Activity Questionnaire. Each of the questionnaires has proven validity and reliability in the clinical context. Ethics approval was obtained from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. The questionnaire was aimed at surgical registrars. We used Physical Activity Questionnaire, SF-36 scores and linear regression to evaluate the effect of putative predictors on mental health. Result(s): A total of 83 responses were collected during the study period, of which 49 (59%) were from men and 34 (41%) were from women. The mean Mental Component Summary (MCS) score for both sexes was significantly lower than the population mean at ages 25-34 (p < 0.001). Poor satisfaction with one's work culture and a feeling of a lack of support at work were extremely strong predictors of a lower MCS score (p < 0.001). Hours of overtime worked, particularly unpaid overtime, were also strong predictors of a poorer score. Conclusion(s): Australian surgical trainees reported lower MCS scores from the SF-36 questionnaire compared to the general population. Increasing working hours, unpaid overtime, poor job security, and job satisfaction were associated with poorer scores among trainees. Interventions providing improved working conditions need to be considered by professional training bodies and employers.Copyright © 2018 Association of Program Directors in Surgery

Main Objectives: To describe various travel related parameters experienced by cancer patients such as travelling distance, time, costs and modes of transport in relation to their attendance at chemotherapy day units. Additionally, it seeks to determine the impact of travel on cancer patient's experience and quality of life. Background(s): The growing number of cancer patients, coupled with increasing use of outpatient chemotherapeutic agents, have led to higher demand for chemotherapy day units. There is a paucity of literature which explore the travel experience of cancer patients receiving treatment in chemotherapy day units in an Australian setting. As one of the largest public health services in Victoria, Monash health Department of Oncology provides cancer care to more than 1.5 million residents of southern Melbourne and south east Victoria. This descriptive cross-sectional survey aims to provide some understanding on the travel patterns of cancer patients who attend chemotherapy day units across the three campuses of Monash health in Victoria. The information gathered will provide further insight into cancer patient's experience and may assist in improving delivery of existing services. Study Designs and Methods: Aliterature review was conducted to gain an understanding on cancer or non-cancer patients' travel experience associated with outpatient attendance. Detailed discussions were held with many patients and healthcare workers to identify areas of interest relating to travel experience. The emerging themes from our initial findings were: 1. For those who had to travel long distances, there appears to be a significant impact of travel distance on disruptions to daily activities of patients and their carers, such as work schedule, managing home responsibilities, missing out on social activities and fatigue associated with travel. 2. For those who did not have to travel long distances, traffic condition is often underappreciated as a factor for good or poor t

BACKGROUND: The negative effects of shift work schedules, specifically night and rotating shifts, have been widely reported. However, little is understood whether particular aspects of the organisational environment, related to specific shifts, may influence the negative impact of shift work. This study investigated the variation in organisational climate and health outcomes across shift work schedules (day, night, rotating). METHOD(S): This cross-sectional study involved nursing staff (n=108) who were all registered nurses from two Melbourne health services. There were slightly more nursing staff that participated from one health service (n=56) than the other health service (n=52). Nursing staff completed a survey on either paper form or online which comprised of: demographic characteristics, organisational climate (work environment scale) and health outcomes (general health questionnaire). RESULT(S): The study found that organisational climate factors and health outcomes differed across shift types. Rotating shift staff exhibited significantly higher coworker cohesion scores when compared to night staff. Night staff reported significantly greater levels of physical comfort within their work environment than rotating staff. Overall, supervisor support emerged as a significant predictor of health outcomes such as somatic complaints, social dysfunction and overall distress. Task orientation was also shown to significantly predict levels of social dysfunction. CONCLUSION(S): Findings suggest that interventions with a focus on enhancing the organisational climate, focused in increasing supervisor support, may mitigate the potential negative health outcomes experienced by shift workers. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Not applicable to this study.

Background Shift work disorder involves insomnia and/or excessive sleepiness associated with the work schedule. The present study examined the impact of insomnia on the perceived physical and psychological health of adults working on night and rotating shift schedules compared to day workers. Methods A total of 418 adults (51% women, mean age 41.4 years), including 51 night workers, 158 rotating shift workers, and 209 day workers were selected from an epidemiological study. An algorithm was used to classify each participant of the two groups (working night or rotating shifts) according to the presence or absence of insomnia symptoms. Each of these individuals was paired with a day worker according to gender, age, and income. Participants completed several questionnaires measuring sleep, health, and psychological variables. Results Night and rotating shift workers with insomnia presented a sleep profile similar to that of day workers with insomnia. Sleep time was more strongly related to insomnia than to shift work per se. Participants with insomnia in the three groups complained of anxiety, depression, and fatigue, and reported consuming equal amounts of sleep-aid medication. Insomnia also contributed to chronic pain and otorhinolaryngology problems, especially among rotating shift workers. Work productivity and absenteeism were more strongly related to insomnia. Conclusion The present study highlights insomnia as an important component of the sleep difficulties experienced by shift workers. Insomnia may exacerbate certain physical and mental health problems of shift workers, and impair their quality of life.

AIM: The aim of this study was to explore and understand the complexity of ageing in relation to factors of importance for extending working life.METHOD: Discourse analysis of documents was used in an integrative review including 128 articles.RESULT: Four different conceptualisation of ageing are shown to affect older workers' ability to extend their working life: (a) biological ageing people's health in relation to their physical and mental work environment, their pace of work and recuperation needs; (b) chronological ageing statutory retirement age and policies and economic incentives devised for older workers by society, unions and organisations/enterprises; (c) social ageing inclusion in different social groups, the attitude of managers, organisations and family members, the leisure activities and surrounding environment; and (d) mental/cognitive ageing self-crediting, motivating and meaningful activities, competence and skills in working life. CONCLUSIONS SOCIETIES TODAY FOCUS MOSTLY ON CHRONOLOGICAL AGEING AND ARE LOOKING TO INCREASE THE RETIREMENT AGE WITH REGARD TO STATUTORY PENSION SYSTEMS, EG BEYOND 65 YEARS OF AGE THE INTER-RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CHRONOLOGICAL, MENTAL, BIOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL AGEING AND THE NINE AREAS IDENTIFIED AS BEING IMPORTANT TO OLDER WORKERS IN THESE RESPECTS NEED TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN AIMING TO PROVIDE A SUSTAINABLE WORKING LIFE FOR THE INCREASING NUMBERS OF OLDER WORKERS IN MODERN SOCIETY THE THEORETICAL MODEL DEVELOPED IS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE CRITICAL DEBATE THAT CAN BE APPLIED BY SOCIETIES, EMPLOYERS AND MANAGERS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE OLDER WORKERS WITH AN INCLUSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE EXTENDED WORKING LIFE.

Background: An association between working shift at a young age and subsequent risk for multiple sclerosis (MS) has been observed. Objective: To investigate whether this finding could be replicated, and to further explore the influence of age at first exposure to shift work. Methods: Using a Swedish population-based, case-control study (2337 cases and 4904 controls), the incidence of MS among subjects whom had worked shifts was compared with that of those whom had not, by calculating odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) by means of logistic regression. Results: The OR of developing MS was 1.5 (95% CI 1.2–1.8) among those whom started working shifts before age 20, whereas a less pronounced association was observed among those whom started working shifts at age 20 or later (OR 1.2; 95% CI 1.1–1.4). The effect of shift work was more pronounced among subjects whom had been exposed at a young age, regardless of the duration between the start of shift work and disease onset. Conclusion: Some aspects of adolescence seem to be of great importance, regarding the impact of shift work on MS risk. Circadian disruption and sleep deprivation may contribute towards explaining the association; however, the exact mechanisms behind our observations remain to be elucidated.

A supportive practical approach to encouraging experienced occupational therapists assisted six occupational therapists to return to the workforce. Although this program is not a complete answer to the identified recruitment issue, it is one of the pathways that the profession could consider. Managers of large services are perhaps better placed with the resources to provide this type of program, thus contributing directly to the identified staffing needs. However, it was also recognised that the programme could have a broader benefit to the profession as participants may use the experience to fill the recruitment dilemmas beyond acute health, which in fact did occur. Enquiries are welcomed about the program format, as well as details about setting up and implementing the program.

With increasing numbers of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients surviving to adulthood, issues related to vocation inevitably arise and warrant specific attention. We examined the percentage of participants with CF currently working and explored risk factors for work disability among adults with CF. Method(s): We recruited 50 consecutive patients from an adult cystic fibrosis service. Demographic, employment history, illness severity indicators and CF-attributed work disability factors were evaluated. Demographic risk factors for work disability using the illness severity measures of FEV1, S-K score, CRDQ, and recent hospitalisation as independent variables were determined. Result(s): Factorial analysis of a disability index (DI) indicated no dependency on FEV1 or S-K score, but dependency on quality of life indices (p < 0.05), age (p < 0.05) and hospital admission rate (p < 0.05). Hours worked per week were dependent on quality of life (p < 0.01) (mastery of disease domain), fewer hospital admissions (p < 0.01) and age (p < 0.05). Sixty-eight percent of the sample reported that CF resulted in significant impediments to employment. However, few had sought vocational guidance (6%). Conclusion(s): Determinants of workforce participation shows that hours worked and perceived disability are more dependent on mastery of disease, age, and time in hospital, than on clinical severity scores. Health professionals may assist productivity through career counselling or tailored programs. © 2006 European Cystic Fibrosis Society.

PURPOSE: Suicidal thoughts, burnout and other signs of psychological distress are prevalent among physicians. There are no studies concerning help-seeking for psychological distress among university hospital physicians, who face a particularly challenging, competitive work environment. We compare psychologically-distressed university hospital physicians who have not sought needed help with those who have sought such help. We thereby aim to identify factors that may hinder help-seeking and factors that may trigger seeking help. METHODS: Analysis was performed among university hospital physicians reporting recent suicidal thoughts and/or showing other indications of current psychological illhealth. These distressed physicians were a subgroup (42.7%) from the cross-sectional phase I HOUPE study (Health and Organization among University Hospital Physicians in Europe): 366 from Sweden and 150 from Italy. Having sought professional help for depression or burnout was the outcome variable. Multiple logistic regression was performed with socio-demographic factors as covariates. RESULTS: Altogether 404 (78.3%) of these distressed physicians had never sought professional help for depression/burnout. Physicians who were currently involved in medical research, taking night call, surgical specialists, male, or Italian were least likely to have sought help. Physicians who faced harassment at work or who self-diagnosed and self-treated were more likely to have sought help. CONCLUSION: Very few of these university hospital physicians with signs of psychological distress sought help from a mental-health professional. This has implications for physicians themselves and for patient care, clinical research, and education of future physicians. More study, preferably of interventional design, is warranted concerning help-seeking among these physicians in need.

This paper analyzes exibility in working hours from a theoretical point of view. The aim of this analysis is not only how much work is performed, but also when it is performed. In this context exibility is understood as the capacity to match the preferences of workers well to the rm s needs. We draw up a model for determining the schedules in an economy with heterogeneous agents. Types are distinguished by their preferences for leisure time or production time. First we de ne the economy without exibility. Then we analyze, under exibility, what the optimal working schedule would be for each worker type. This is conditioned by the capital used in the plant. The baseline model solves the assignment of di¤erent types of workers to di¤erent production plants in a competitive equilibrium. The model enables us to determine what capital stock the plants must have and during what period they should be used in order that they adjust to the preferences. The exible results, that conform to the preferences of rms and workers, it is optimal, e¢ cient and reaches the maximum instantaneous aggregate production of the economy. As an extension of the model we analyze the possibility of working at home. In this case the capital stock does not condition the work schedule. Thus, not only the time of work, but also the workplace turn into endogenous variables.

Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva och analysera busschaufförers upplevelser av delaktighet i arbetet. Följande frågor har ställts: Hur kommunicerar arbetsgivare och anställda med varandra? Hur upplever busschaufförer sitt arbetsschema och sina arbetstider? Kan busschaufförer vara delaktiga i utformningen av sitt arbetsschema och sina arbetstider? För att besvara dessa frågor har vi genomfört åtta individuella intervjuer med busschaufförer i ett internationellt bussföretag. Resultatet visar att busschaufförernas delaktighet i arbetet är bristfällig. Anledningen till detta tror vi kan förklaras utifrån tre huvudsakliga faktorer. Den första faktorn är att arbetsgivaren måste anpassa sin verksamhet efter en trafikhuvudman. Den andra faktorn är att busschaufförerna inte har startat en fackklubb på arbetsplatsen. Den tredje faktorn är att det inte finns en tydlig formell kontext som ger anställda möjlighet att komma till tals., The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze bus drivers’ experiences of participation at work. The following questions arose: How to communicate employers and employees with each other? How do bus drivers perceive their work schedule and their hours of work? Can bus drivers be involved in shaping their work schedule and their hours of work? To answer these questions, we conducted eight individual interviews with bus drivers in an international bus company. The results show that bus drivers’ participation in the work is flawed. The reason that we believe might be explained by three main factors. The first factor is that the employer has to adapt its activities after a transport authority. The second factor is that bus drivers have not started a local compartment club at the workplace. The third factor is that there is not a clear formal context in which employees have the opportunity to express themselves.

Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva och analysera busschaufförers upplevelser av delaktighet i arbetet. Följande frågor har ställts: Hur kommunicerar arbetsgivare och anställda med varandra? Hur upplever busschaufförer sitt arbetsschema och sina arbetstider? Kan busschaufförer vara delaktiga i utformningen av sitt arbetsschema och sina arbetstider? För att besvara dessa frågor har vi genomfört åtta individuella intervjuer med busschaufförer i ett internationellt bussföretag. Resultatet visar att busschaufförernas delaktighet i arbetet är bristfällig. Anledningen till detta tror vi kan förklaras utifrån tre huvudsakliga faktorer. Den första faktorn är att arbetsgivaren måste anpassa sin verksamhet efter en trafikhuvudman. Den andra faktorn är att busschaufförerna inte har startat en fackklubb på arbetsplatsen. Den tredje faktorn är att det inte finns en tydlig formell kontext som ger anställda möjlighet att komma till tals., The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze bus drivers’ experiences of participation at work.

Major international bodies recommend that adults should accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity every day. Ten thousand steps a day has been found to approximate 30 minutes of exercise. A questionnaire regarding exercise patterns was sent to all (584) Victorian consultant anaesthetists, and 30 consultants wore a pedometer for one week, during working hours only. The questionnaire response rate was 59.4% (347). Of these respondents, 58% indicated that they had a formal exercise program. There were no significant differences between people with a set exercise program and those without, with respect to age, gender, working hours or smoking. Those with a set exercise program exercised a median of four times per week and the commonest exercise listed was gmnasium attendance (40%). The main reasons cited for having a regular exercise program were maintenance of physical health (77%), mental health (71%) and weight control (35%). The main reasons for not having an exercise program were fatigue (40%), too busy (70%), family commitments (67%) or just not interested (18%). The overall median steps per day for the pedometer group was 4770 with a range of 1667 to 9630, fitting into the classification of 'sedentary'. In summary this study has shown that a significant number of anaesthetists do not achieve adequate physical activity in or out of working hours and has identified some reasons for this behaviour. This will hopefully provide motivation and information for the implementation of useful strategies to increase the level of physical activity performed by anaesthetists.

Aim: To compare two different methods for assessment of postural load and duration of computer use in office workers. Methods: The study population existed of 87 computer workers. Questionnaire data about exposure were compared with exposures measured by a standardised or objective method. Measuring true exposure to postural load consisted of an observation of the workstation design and posture by a trained observer. A software program was used to record individual computer use. Results: Comparing the answers for each item of postural load, six of eleven items showed low agreement (kappa <0.20). For six items the sensitivity was below 50%, while for eight items the specificity was 80% or higher. Computer workers were unable to identify risk factors in their workplace and work posture. On average, computer workers overestimated their total computer use by 1.6 hours. The agreement among employees who reported a maximum of three hours of computer use per day was higher than the agreement among employees with a high duration of computer use. Conclusions: Self-report by means of this questionnaire is not a very reliable method to measure postural load and duration of computer use. This study emphasises that the challenge to develop quick and inexpensive techniques for assessing exposure to postural load and duration of computer use is still open.

This paper reviews a number of studies which have presented results on the association between shift work and cardiovascular disease. It is suggested that many of the early studies suffer from methodological flaws which render them difficult to interpret. In studies in which incidence of disease has been computed and related to exposure to shift work, the results indicate a higher risk for cardiovascular disease among shift workers as compared to day workers. The evidence cannot yet, however, be considered conclusive.

Povýšenie MediaWiki a Redmine som zabezpečil zdokumentovaním presného postupu potrebného pre prechod na najnovšie verzie. Výsledkom práce je IS vhodný na nasadenie s najnovšími verziami softvéru a vylepšenou funkcionalitou. Na záver bolo úspešne realizované nasadenie na webový server Výskumnej skupiny znalostných technológií FIT VUT., This thesis deals with implementing required changes in the Knowledge Technology Research Group information system (KNOTIS) to integrate improved functionality prepared in previous years. Integration was composed of changes in the functionality of the information system, implemented in PHP language, and SQL query optimisation. This thesis also includes taking the necessary steps to upgrade other information systems included. Namely, it is the documentation platform MediaWiki and the flexible project management web application Redmine. All parts were integrated by optimising slow-running SQL queries, repairing errors in PHP code and getting familiar with issues regarding the transition to new versions of PHP and MySQL. MediaWiki and Redmine upgrade was ensured by documenting exact step-by-step procedures to ensure a problem-free transition to newer versions. This thesis results in an information system suitable to be deployed with the newest software versions and enhanced functionality. Finally, deployment on the web server of the FIT BUT Knowledge technology research group was successful.
