Regardless of the prompt response made, COVID-19 infection cases among healthcare workers have risen quickly and high. It is essential to understand the features that play roles in COVID-19 transmission among healthcare workers in occupational settings to build a better understanding in minimizing the occupational hazards and prevent such cases.Methods: This literature review was conducted in April 2022. Research related to the COVID-19 infection among healthcare workers in an occupational setting by using specific keywords including COVID-19, healthcare workers, occupational on two database Pubmed and Google Scholar.Results: 12 articles were analysed for the literature review. Recognizing hazardous work characteristics and demographic characteristics as the risk of transmission among healthcare workers can help optimizing the protection and reduce transmission cases among healthcare workers in an occupational setting.Conclusions: Having a better understanding of factors that play a role in COVID-19 transmission among healthcare workers in the occupational setting is essential to create a better policy implemented to safeguard healthcare workers’ health and safety. The provision of health services to patients relies on professional staff who feel safe and well protected. Therefore, ensuring workers’ safety and health is critical to keep transmission rates low. COVID-19 is a trigger for the world of health, especially occupational health in socialization and commitment to the implementation of the control hierarchy and also certainty in making policies.

Abstract

Introduction: The increasing participation of women in the labour market has led to a growing trend of female employment. This has a significant impact on women’s roles as mothers, particularly breastfeeding mothers. Objective: This review aims to discuss the benefits and challenges of breastfeeding faced by female workers in the workplace and how to counter itDiscussion: Breastfeeding in the workplace has several advantages for mothers, which may act as an incentive to combine breastfeeding and work. The advantages include reduced absenteeism, increased productivity, and decreased turnover rates. However, breastfeeding in the workplace presents several challenges, including the lack of research on the topic, the lack of support from employers, distance between home and work, the lack of lactation facilities on-site, and reduced milk production during work hours. This situation drives the development of a lactation promotion model that can support breastfeeding in the workplace. The lactation promotion model, comprised of seven major components, can be implemented in the workplace to increase exclusive breastfeeding and boost female worker productivity. Conclusion: It is recommended to give workers with under-6-month children the option of working part-time or returning home earlier and for companies to provide lactation support staff, educational materials, and peer support groups to help working mothers breastfeed at work. The role of company occupational doctors takes a very important place in this lactation promotion model to achieve high breastfeeding rate in female workers.
