Graduates rated the extent to which certain training activities improved administrative skills, such as community-based rotations, a 1-month administration rotation, chief resident responsibilities, committee work, program or clinic administration, and residency training overall.

However, only a few studies have examined the economic impact of depression in the workplace. A study of the medical and disability costs of depressive disorders was conducted at the First Chicago Corporation. In this analysis, short-term disability data, medical plan costs and Employee Assistance Program referral data for depressive disorders were compared with selected common chronic medical conditions. The average length of disability and the disability relapse rate was greater for depressive disorders than for the comparison medical groups. Depressive disorders were also found to have the largest medical plan costs of all behavioral health diagnoses. Finally, depressive disorders proved to be the most common Axis-I-level diagnosis encountered in the Employee Assistance Program. These findings have important implications for medical benefit plan design, disability plan management, and occupational health professionals' training. The observed higher prevalence of these disorders in women force their recognition as a women's health issue.</p>","PeriodicalId":16617,"journal":{"name":"Journal of occupational medicine. : official publication of the Industrial Medical Association","volume":"36 9","pages":"983-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18823411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional vibrometers have been of limited use for the assessment of vibratory perception threshold (VPT) due to wide intraindividual variations. This study describes the determination of VPT for the medial malleolus (MM), the styloid process of the radius (SPR), and the pulp of the index finger (PIF) in normal subjects, using a new vibrometer, the TM-31A. This apparatus expresses results in terms of actual vibration amplitude and has a feedback mechanism that avoids damping of the stimulator in tissue. Repeated VPT measurements revealed good reproducibility of the test. The intraday and day-to-day variations of VPT were fairly small. VPT was found to differ significantly among sites (MM > SPR > PIF). The distribution in MM was substantially log-normal, whereas the SPR and PIF were normal. VPT values on each site correlated with advancing age, especially on the MM. It is concluded that TM-31A provides a reliable and valid assessment of VPT and contributes to the standardization of VPT testing.</p>","PeriodicalId":16617,"journal":{"name":"Journal of occupational medicine. : official publication of the Industrial Medical Association","volume":"36 9","pages":"989-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18823412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From this group, two therapists at a time simultaneously and independently evaluated 50 patients with musculoskeletal disorders as they performed the tasks of the Physical Work Performance Evaluation. At the conclusion of the evaluation, each therapist determined the safe level of physical work for each patient. A comparison of the two independent evaluations was used to determine reliability. To determine validity, the predicted level of work was compared with the actual level of work. Kappa coefficient between the two therapists on the level of work was .83. Spearman rho correlations between the predicted and actual levels of work ranged from .41 to .55. Only 14 to 18% were working above the level predicted by the Physical Work Performance Evaluation.
