The resistome bridge between livestock and workers
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical threat to global health, driven by the extensive use of antibiotics in both human medicine and livestock production. In the context of the One Health framework, this review investigates the role of the gut microbiome and resistome, which represents the collection of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), within livestock and among occupationally exposed workers. Intensive farming practices often inv…
Night shift work exposure shapes neurobehavioral and cardiometabolic profiles in female healthcare workers
Background: Night shift work has been associated with adverse neurobehavioral and cardiometabolic outcomes, but the role of cumulative and long-term exposure, particularly among female healthcare workers, remains incompletely characterized. This study adopted a multidimensional approach to examine associations between night shift exposure and integrated health profiles. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 243 female healthcare workers (9…
The rising tide of workplace violence in the healthcare sector
Introduction: Workplace violence (WPV) is a pervasive occupational and public health concern affecting healthcare workers (HCWs) globally. This review aims to systematically map recent evidence on WPV, examining its prevalence, associated risk factors, health and occupational consequences, and preventive strategies across different healthcare settings and geographic contexts. Methods: This scoping review synthesizes evidence from 77 studies condu…
Workplace harassment is associated with differences in personality traits, coping strategies and work ability
Introduction Workplace Harassment (WPH) in the healthcare sector remains a critical global issue, adversely affecting employees’ psychological well-being and work ability. Aim This study investigated gender differences, variations in personality traits and coping strategies linked to WPH, and the impact of these dynamics on work performance of healthcare workers (HCW). Methods A cross-sectional survey was administered to a sample of 415 HCW (138 …
Smartphone Use Among Resident Physicians
Personal mobile phone has become an integral part of our lives. In the medical field, the growing popularity of medicine applications allows more rapid communication among healthcare professionals and quick access to helpful information, which facilitates and improves patient care practice. The use of smartphones during work activities by healthcare professionals can cause a lack of attention and errors while carrying out health procedures. The r…
Salivary Biomarkers Analysis and Neurobehavioral Assessment in Nurses Working Rotation Shifts
Currently, about one in five workers is employed in night shift work in Europe. Shift work including nighttime hours is essential in several activities, especially the healthcare sector. Importantly, night working may be associated with the occurrence of sleep disorders or work-related stress, both potentially augmenting the risk of errors and accidents at work. This study aims to examine the presence of neurobehavioral alterations that can be a …
Assessment of Mancozeb Exposure, Absorbed Dose, and Oxidative Damage in Greenhouse Farmers
Mancozeb (MNZ) is a fungicide commonly employed in many countries worldwide. This study assesses MNZ absorption dynamics in 19 greenhouse farmers, specifically following dermal exposure, aiming to verify the efficacy of both preventive actions and protective equipment. For data collection, a multi-assessment approach was used, which included a survey to record study population features. MNZ exposure was assessed through the indirect measurement o…
Factors Affecting Perceived Work Environment, Wellbeing, and Coping Styles
The COVID-19 pandemic is a current emergency worldwide. All the consequent changes in sanitary systems have negatively affected the work-life balance. In particular, healthcare workers suffered from anxiety, stress, and depression, mostly nurses compared to physicians. To handle this situation, the adoption of different coping strategies has played a strategic role in psychophysical wellbeing. Our main goal is to the assess the perception of work…
Chronic Pesticide Exposure in Farm Workers Is Associated with the Epigenetic Modulation of hsa-miR-199a-5p
The increasing use of pesticides in intensive agriculture has had a negative impact on human health. It was widely demonstrated how pesticides can induce different genetic and epigenetic alterations associated with the development of different diseases, including tumors and neurological disorders. Therefore, the identification of effective indicators for the prediction of harmful pesticide exposure is mandatory. In this context, the aim of the st…
Work Performance, Mood and Sleep Alterations in Home Office Workers during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The sudden burst of the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the work environment in favor of remote working, affecting the perception of work quality, satisfaction and performance. This crisis has also influenced workers' mood, sleep quality and general perception of everyday life. Our main purpose in this study was to give empirical contributions about home office workers experiencing remote working during the pandemic by assessing mood spectrum varia…
Perceived Stress in a Gender Perspective
Stressful life events, are differently handled by women and men. This study evaluates gender differences in perceived stress and health status among a sample of subjects going through a transition period from unemployment to work. This cross-sectional study enrolled 395 participants, 245 men (62%) and 150 (38%) women, between 19 and 67 years, that were going to be hired for a 6-month contract. Before being employed, all participants underwent a m…
Quality of Life, Insomnia and Coping Strategies during Covid-19 Pandemic in Hospital Workers. A Cross-Sectional Study
COVID-19 became a pandemic in a few months, leading to adverse health outcomes, reducing the quality of life, affecting the sleep/wake cycle, and altering coping strategies, especially among hospital personnel. Life quality, insomnia, and coping strategies were thus assessed among hospital personnel during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. This cross-sectional study was conducted from May to November 2020 through an online survey.…
Genetic and Epigenetic Alterations Induced by Pesticide Exposure
Environmental or occupational exposure to pesticides is considered one of the main risk factors for the development of various diseases. Behind the development of pesticide-associated pathologies, there are both genetic and epigenetic alterations, where these latter are mainly represented by the alteration in the expression levels of microRNAs and by the change in the methylation status of the DNA. At present, no studies have comprehensively eval…
Sleep Quality and Mood State in Resident Physicians during Covid-19 Pandemic
Since the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has spread worldwide, healthcare workers-resident physicians in particular-have been hugely involved in facing the COVID-19 pandemic, experiencing unprecedented challenges in fighting the disease. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of poor sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and alterations in mood state profiles in this category. This cross-sectional study, conducted in 2020, enrolled 119 subjects from a …
Salivary Biomarkers and Work-Related Stress in Night Shift Workers
Work organization, such as shifts and night work, can interfere with the perception of work-related stress and therefore on the development of pathological conditions. Night shift work, particularly, can have a negative impact on workers' wellbeing by interfering with the biological sphere. The aim of this study is to evaluate the associations between work activities, shift work effects and stress-related responses in 106 dock workers enrolled in…
