Predictors of improved readiness for work life: A data-driven explorative study using self-report measures of work ability and functioning
Predictors of employment have been studied extensively previously. However, even small beneficial changes in readiness for work life are relevant, regardless of whether the person has yet gained employment. This study explored how the unemployed individuals’ readiness for work life could be assessed by using a self-report measure and whether certain factors of work ability and functioning were predictors of a beneficial change in this measure. Th…
Covid-19 infection and later risk of sickness absence by socioeconomic status: A cohort study
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)
Development and content validity of the Abilitator: A self-report questionnaire on work ability and functioning aimed at the population in a weak labour market position
It was highlighted that the original article [1] contained an ambiguity in the citation of Reference 2 in the Results section
Is a single item stress measure independently associated with subsequent severe injury: A prospective cohort study of 16,385 forest industry employees
High stress is associated with an increased risk of severe injury
Job strain as a risk factor for coronary heart disease: A collaborative meta-analysis of individual participant data
Lack of Predictability at Work and Risk of Acute Myocardial Infarction: An 18-Year Prospective Study of Industrial Employees
Objectives. We examined whether the distinctive components of job control—decision authority, skill discretion, and predictability—were related to subsequent acute myocardial infarction (MI) events in a large population of initially heart disease–free industrial employees. Methods. We prospectively examined the relation between the components of job control and acute MI among private-sector industrial employees. During an 18-year follow-up, 56 fa…
Temporary employment and health: A review
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to review evidence on the relationship between temporary employment and health, and to see whether the association is dependent on outcome measure, instability of employment, and contextual factors. METHOD: We systematically searched for studies of temporary employment and various health outcomes and critically appraised 27 studies. RESULTS: The review suggests higher psychological morbidity among temporary workers compared w…
