Covid-19 infection and later risk of sickness absence by socioeconomic status
Employees who reported contracting first-wave COVID-19 infection had higher rates of sickness absence in the following year. This excess risk was most consistently observed in employees with intermediate socioeconomic status (e.g. office workers, registered nurses, and social workers)
Associations between accumulating job stressors, workplace social capital, and psychological distress on work-unit level
The results indicate that the effect of accumulating job stressors should be further studied on work-unit level. Participatory organizational-level and work-unit level interventions to tackle job stressors and to improve workplace social capital are warranted
Synergistic Interaction between Job Stressors and Psychological Distress during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Psychosocial job stressors increase the risk of mental health problems for the workers in health and social services (HSS). Although previous studies suggest that the accumulation of two or more stressors is detrimental to mental health, few studies have examined the synergistic interaction of accumulating job stressors. We examined survey responses from 9855 Finnish HSS workers in a cross-sectional study design from 2021. We conducted an interac…
Assessing Nurses' Workplace Social Capital
Workplace social capital positively influences the quality but reduces the cost of healthcare services. Academic research suffers from limited and inadequate culturally sensitive nurses' workplace social capital instruments. Here we report on the design and protocol of a culturally focused instrument development study in China. The overarching objective of our dual phase study is to develop and validate a questionnaire measuring nurses' workplace…
Alternative duty work as workplace-initiated procedure to reduce sickness absence
This follow-up suggests that implementing an alternative duty work policy may marginally decrease employees' sickness absences
Association between socioeconomic status and the development of mental and physical health conditions in adulthood
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic disadvantage is a risk factor for many diseases. We characterised cascades of these conditions by using a data-driven approach to examine the association between socioeconomic status and temporal sequences in the development of 56 common diseases and health conditions. METHODS: In this multi-cohort study, we used data from two Finnish prospective cohort studies: the Health and Social Support study and the Finnish Public …
The effects of counseling via a smartphone application on microentrepreneurs’ work ability and work recovery
Workplace social capital and mental health
Higher social capital is associated with a reduced risk of psychological distress. The promotion of social capital can be considered as a means to increase workplace mental health among workers
Association between education and television viewing among older working and retired people
A similar association between educational attainment and high-duration television viewing in Finland and Japan particularly after retirement suggests a robust and consistent impact of educational attainment on a sedentary lifestyle after retirements
Long working hours and risk of coronary heart disease and stroke
Return to Work After Depression-Related Absence by Employees With and Without Other Health Conditions
OBJECTIVE: Among employees with depression, diagnoses of other psychiatric and somatic conditions are common. However, few studies have examined whether the combined presence of depression and other psychiatric or somatic disorders adversely affects return to work after depression-related absence from work. METHODS: We examined the association of present and recent psychiatric and somatic conditions and return to work after depression-related abs…
Job Strain and Health-Related Lifestyle
Objectives. We examined the associations of job strain, an indicator of work-related stress, with overall unhealthy and healthy lifestyles. Methods. We conducted a meta-analysis of individual-level data from 11 European studies (cross-sectional data: n = 118 701; longitudinal data: n = 43 971). We analyzed job strain as a set of binary (job strain vs no job strain) and categorical (high job strain, active job, passive job, and low job strain) var…
Perceived organizational justice as a predictor of long-term sickness absence due to diagnosed mental disorders
Job strain as a risk factor for coronary heart disease
Association between binge drinking, type of friends and gender
The prevalence of binge drinking was high in this sample of Brazilian adolescents, and gender, low social vulnerability and friendship network were associated with binge drinking
School environment as predictor of teacher sick leave
Good and improved IAQ are associated with decreased teacher absenteeism. While pupil-related psychosocial factors also contribute to sick leaves, no effect modification or mediation of psychosocial factors on the association between IAQ and sick leave was observed
Implementation of Workplace-Based Smoking Cessation Support Activities and Smoking Cessation Among Employees
Objectives. We investigated the relationship between implementation of workplace smoking cessation support activities and employee smoking cessation. Methods. In 2 cohort studies, participants were 6179 Finnish public-sector employees who self-reported as smokers at baseline in 2004 (study 1) or 2008 (study 2) and responded to follow-up surveys in 2008 (study 1; n = 3298; response rate = 71%) or 2010 (study 2; n = 2881; response rate = 83%). Supe…
Organizational Justice in Primary-Care Health Centers and Glycemic Control in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
BACKGROUND: Organizational justice has been put forward as a measure of leadership quality that is associated with better health among employees. OBJECTIVES: We extended that idea to test whether perceived organizational justice among health care providers might be positively associated with glycemic control among their diabetic patients. SETTING: Eighteen primary-care health centers (HCs) in Finland. PARTICIPANTS: Type 2 diabetes patients (n=895…
P1-380 Social network and binge drinking in schools adolescents
Introduction Hazardous alcohol drinking among the adolescent is of major concern. However, it is not known whether the type of social network is associated with binge drinking. Methods We carried out a cross-sectional study among a random sample of 891 adolescents (40% male, aged 15–19 years) from public to private schools in 2009–2010 in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Information on friendship network and binge drinking were collected usi…
Workplace Social Capital and All-Cause Mortality
Objectives. We examined the association between workplace social capital and all-cause mortality in a large occupational cohort from Finland. Methods. We linked responses of 28 043 participants to surveys in 2000 to 2002 and in 2004 to national mortality registers through 2009. We used repeated measurements of self- and coworker-assessed social capital. We carried out Cox proportional hazard and fixed-effects logistic regressions. Results. During…

Prospective study of workplace social capital and depression
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have emphasised the multidimensional nature of the social capital concept, but it is not known whether the health effects of social capital vary by dimension. The objective of this study was to examine the vertical component (ie, respectful and trusting relationships across power differentials at work) and the horizontal component of workplace social capital (trust and reciprocity between employees at the same hierarchi…
Job strain as a predictor of disability pension
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether high job strain (a combination of high job demands and low job control) is a risk factor for disability pension. SETTING: Ten municipalities and 21 hospitals in Finland. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: A prospective cohort study of 20 386 female and 4 764 male Finnish public sector employees aged 19-50 using data from two surveys (baseline in 2000-2 and follow-up in 2005) and employers' registers. In addition to self-report…
Work Hours, Work Stress, and Collaboration Among Ward Staff in Relation to Risk of Hospital-Associated Infection Among Patients
OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between work hours, work stress, and collaboration among the ward personnel, and the risk of hospital-associated infection among patients. DESIGN: Cross-sectional data on hospital infections were collected between March and June 2004. These data were linked with ward-level responses to a personnel survey collected during the same time period. SETTING: Medical records of patients in 60 non-psychiatric bed war…
Relationship between job strain and smoking cessation
Smoking cessation may be less likely in workplaces with high strain and low control. Policies and programs addressing employee job strain and control might also contribute to the effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions
