Age and Prolonged Work Absence After Occupational Same‐Level Fall Injuries in Japan
This nationwide retrospective study using the Japanese National Lost-Time Occupational Injury Microdata demonstrated that older workers experience longer work absences after same-level fall injuries than younger workers. These findings highlight the need for age-specific prevention and return-to-work support, particularly for older workers.
Sociodemographic factors affecting not receiving Covid-19 vaccine in Japan among people who originally intended to vaccinate
Objective: Vaccine hesitancy is a major issue for acquiring herd immunity. However, some individuals may go unvaccinated owing to inhibitory factors other than vaccine hesitancy. If there is even a small number of such people, support is needed for equitable vaccine distribution and acquiring herd immunity. We investigated sociodemographic factors that affected not undergoing COVID-19 vaccination in Japan among individuals who had strong intentio…
Spread of infection and treatment interruption among Japanese workers during the Covid-19 pandemic
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in treatment interruption for chronic diseases. The scale of COVID-19 in Japan has varied greatly in terms of the scale of infection and the speed of spread depending on the region. This study aimed to examine the relationship between local infection level and treatment interruption among Japanese workers. Methods: Cross-sectional internet survey was conducted from December 22 to 26, 2020. Of 33,302 …
Association Between Loneliness and Sleep-Related Problems Among Japanese Workers During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been linked to a rise in loneliness. Loneliness is associated with sleep-related problems, which in turn can be a risk factor for various psychiatric disorders. However, it is unclear whether loneliness is linked to sleep-related problems during the pandemic. Here, we studied the association between loneliness and sleep-related problems during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. Methods…
Effect of working place infection control practices on workers' psychological distress
The study found that while some infection control practices reduce workers' distress, others worsen it. Employers need to consider infection control practices as well as the worsening mental state of employees following a decrease in income caused by such measures. Follow-up studies may be necessary to clarify the long-term effects on workers' mental states
Association between Long Working Hours and Psychological Distress
The effect of workplace infection control measures required by the COVID-19 pandemic on the association between long working hours and psychological distress has not yet been fully revealed. This study investigated the effect of requesting to stay home when sick (RSH) on the association between long working hours and psychological distress. We conducted a cross-sectional survey in December 2020 among participants who had previously registered wit…
Prospective Cohort Study of Sociodemographic and Work-Related Factors and Subsequent Unemployment under Covid-19 Pandemic
The previous studies found that women and low-income households were more likely to experience unemployment prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is no cohort study to examine the relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this prospective cohort study is to examine the relationship between sociodemographic factors and unemployment during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. We surveyed the socioeconomic status, personal characteri…
Effect of Covid-19 infection related experiences on social behaviors when a state of emergency is declared
To maximize the effect of a state of emergency, health authorities should disseminate information for each person in the target population, taking into account potential differences related to the infection related experiences
A Cross-Sectional Study of the Relationship Between Exercise, Physical Activity, and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Japanese Workers
Background Studies have determined that exercise and physical activity positively affect physical and mental health, and that healthy workers contribute to increased work performance. The relationship between the time spent on exercise during leisure time and physical activity, including work, with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in workers is unclear, with variations observed between occupational types. This cross-sectional study examined…
