Educator perspectives on stressors and health
Educator well-being continued to be impacted in the post-pandemic era. Targeted interventions are needed to reduce school and district-related demands and to address stress-related educator well-being
Life satisfaction and job and personal resources among public workers with non-standard work schedules
Employers should consider increasing work recognition, as well as improving schedule fit, financial well-being, and overall good health in support of worker life satisfaction and ultimately well-being
Scale-out of a Total Worker Health® approach for designing interventions to reduce teacher stress
This pilot study is the first attempt to scale out the HWPP to educators, and while not intended to confirm efficacy, it showed promising results for scale-out. Results from Pilot Schools 1 and 2 suggest systematic use of quantitative and qualitative implementation data can effectively inform scale-out efforts that increase critical outcomes such as fidelity, acceptability, understanding, feasibility, system alignment, and leader engagement as we…
The development and initial validation of a new working time scale for full-time workers with non-standard schedules
The 14-item WTS with good reliability and validity is an effective tool for assessing working time exposures in a variety of full-time jobs with non-standard schedules
Evaluation of the HearWell Pilot Program
Our objective was to pilot test HearWell, an intervention created to preserve hearing among highway maintainers, by using a participatory Total Worker Health ® (TWH) approach to designing, implementing and evaluating interventions. Regional maintenance garages were randomized to control ( n = 6); HearWell ( n = 4) or HearWell Design Team ( n = 2) arms. Maintainer representatives from the HearWell Design Team garages identified barriers to hearing…
Development and Implementation of a Total Worker Health® Mentoring Program in a Correctional Workforce
Correctional officers (COs) are exposed to a number of occupational stressors, and their health declines early in their job tenure. Interventions designed to prevent early decline in CO health are limited. This article describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of a one-year peer health mentoring program (HMP) guided by Total Worker Health ® principles and using a participatory action research to collectively address worker safety,…
Worker perspectives on the impact of non-standard workdays on worker and family well-being
This highlights the importance of developing and implementing effective workplace interventions to address these barriers to health and health behaviors
Working mothers' second shift, personal resources, and self-care
The stress of feeling rushed and busy are contemporary facts of life as evidenced by research on time pressure and overload. This is explained by conservation of resources theory which posits that when life demands (i.e. paid work, home/family work) excessively drain time and energy resources, stress can result. The purpose of this study was to examine working mothers as a population at risk for such stress, because in addition to paid work roles…
Understanding What Eldercare Means for Employees and Organizations
The purpose of this article is to provide a contemporary, globally focused, multidisciplinary review of the existing literature on eldercare responsibilities and the implications of these responsibilities for working adults and organizations, taking a multilevel perspective. Two major reviews of the impact of eldercare responsibilities on work for employed informal caregivers have been conducted in the past 25 years. However, an update to the ext…
Associations of eldercare and competing demands with health and work outcomes among manufacturing workers
Employees juggling eldercare and work report work–family conflicts and poor health-related outcomes, but little is known about eldercare demands (ECDs) in the context of competing demands in the manufacturing workforce. This study determines how ECDs vary by age, gender, income, and job category, and how ECDs and competing demands are associated with health-related and work-related outcomes, among manufacturing workers. Employees from six manufac…
Understanding the roles of subjective and objective aspects of time in the work-family interface
The experience of time has been posited as an important predictor of work-family conflict; however, few studies have considered subjective and objective aspects of time conjointly. This study examined the reported number of hours dedicated to work and family as indices of objective aspects of time, and perceived time pressure (in the work and family domains respectively) as an important feature of the subjective nature of temporal experiences wit…
