Abstract

Introduction: Occupational health and safety are important for professionals managing an organization’s workplace accident insurance efforts because their work influences productivity. Therefore, this study will compare the associated health and burnout related to work in case managers and administrators. Methods: A longitudinal design was adopted. This study used year-over-year surveys of 158 employee professionals with 79 case managers and 79 administrators over a two-year time frame. They measured occupational health with the questionnaires Work Ability Index (WAI) and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). Occupational health was subsequently studied using linear regression and mixed-effects models. Results: Case managers tend to have higher work ability (mean WAI score: 45.08), but they suffer from more personal burnout (mean PB score: 33.0), presumably because they work directly with injured workers. In contrast, administrators are experiencing lower but more stable levels in their work ability (mean WAI score: 37.78) and with higher levels of client-related burnout (mean CRB score: 53.0). Further, work ability deteriorates as age increases, especially among case managers, and is negatively associated with high BMI, low sleep and long sick leave. Employees with a BMI > 30 had 12% lower WAI scores (p<0.01), and those sleeping < 6 hours per night had 15% lower work ability index. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to alleviate occupational burnout and improve work ability, particularly through occupation-specific workplace interventions. The study also suggests that implementing stress management programs, health promotion initiatives, and workflow optimizations may improve occupational health outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly all non-critical sectors require their workers to work remotely, including lecturers. All teaching and learning activities are carried out online. During this period, the problem of psychosocial disorders is of particular concern. Therefore, a study is deemed necessary to analyze what factors contribute to job stress in lecturers working from home during the pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a total 0f 111 respondents. This study was conducted through an online survey. The population of this study was lecturers. All data were collected in 2021. Variables in this study were sex, age, working time per day, break time per day, sleep time per day, workout time per week, circadian rhythm, insomnia and work stress. Results: The results of this study indicate that there is no relationship between sex and job stress also a very weak relationship strength between age, sleep time per day, workout time per week, circadian rhythm, insomnia and job stress. Furthermore, there is a strong, unidirectional relationship between working time and job stress level and a weak relationship between break time per day and job stress level. Conclusion: The conclusion is that all variables except sex have a relationship with job stress but with varying degrees. Further research on this study in different population and different methods is suggested.

Abstract

Introduction: Workplace accidents in the manufacturing industry may significantly affect both a worker's capacity to return to work and their general well-being. Effective return-to-work programs may help disabled workers rehabilitate. The present scoping review endeavors to scrutinize the extant body of literature pertaining to Return to Work programs tailored specifically for individuals employed in the manufacturing industry who have experienced occupational injuries. Methods: A comprehensive exploration was conducted across various scholarly databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The search technique includes return-to-work, occupational injury, and manufacturing keywords. Inclusion criteria were used to screen studies. Results: A total of 5 studies were included in the final analysis, representing a range of program types, implementation strategies, and evaluation methods. The results of this review suggest that return-to-work programs can be effective in facilitating workers' return to work after occupational injury and promoting positive health outcomes. Key program components identified as contributing to program effectiveness included workplace accommodations, early return-to-work programs, and rehabilitation services. Conclusion: This scoping review emphasizes the necessity of return-to-work programs for wounded manufacturing employees. The findings of this comprehensive review indicate that return-to-work programs when meticulously crafted and effectively executed, possess the capacity to assume a pivotal function in facilitating the reintegration of injured workers into the workforce, while concurrently enhancing their holistic health outcomes. Additional investigation is warranted to enhance comprehension of the precise constituents of a program that contribute to its triumph and to delve into the efficacy of diverse implementation methodologies.

Abstract

Background: In the pharmaceutical tablet manufacturing industry, health risks involve high occupational health risks, especially in handling active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This research addresses the challenge that effective risk management is essential to safeguard worker health, particularly in the production of critical products such as Non-Beta Lactams (NBL) and Penicillin. Objective: evaluating and investigating occupational health risks in the NBL and Penicillin production units, identifying key risk factors and proposing strategies to reduce exposure. Methods: This study used an observational cross-sectional design was used, focusing on environmental conditions, particulate concentrations, and compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE). The framework based on the concept of Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) assessed the level of risk across all stages of production, including weighing, mixing, granulation, and coating. Findings: Unit NBL indicated higher particulate levels (140 µg/m³) compared to unit Penicillin (100 µg/m³), especially during high exposure stages such as granulation, exceeding the WHO guideline (PM2.5 exposure is 25 µg/m³ for a 24-hour period) . The compliance with PPE was found to be lower in the NBL unit, which correlated with an increased incident rate. The risk assessment identified weighing and granulation as high-risk stages, requiring stricter controls. Conclusions: Reducing occupational health risks in the NBL and Penicillin units urgently requires improved engineering controls, PPE protocols and worker training. Model limitations highlight the need for enhanced risk assessment tools to improve safety outcomes.
