Environmental variables, such as sleep quality, may affect periodontal health; however, scant literature has addressed this relationship in factory workers. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of sleep quality on periodontal health in night-shift factory workers in Ahmedabad city. A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted on 360 workers from six selected factories in Ahmedabad city, Gujarat. Demographic data including age, sex, marital status, and tobacco use were recorded. Sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. A clinical assessment was done to assess the oral hygiene status and periodontal status by using the Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified and the WHO 1997 methodology, respectively. There were a total 198 (55%) day-shift workers and 162 (45%) night-shift workers. The global sleep quality mean scores in the day shift and night shift workers were 3.85 ± 2.14 and 4.80 ± 2.27, with a significant difference. The night shift workers had a significantly (P<0.05) worse score as compared to day shift workers when the oral hygiene status and periodontal status mean score were compared. Age (AOR=5.52; 95% CI=1.98-15.39; P<0.001), sex (AOR=5.89; 95% CI=1.74-19.94; P=0.004), oral hygiene (AOR=6.75; 95% CI=3.67-12.42; P<0.001), night shift (AOR=2.13; 95% CI=1.27-3.59; P=0.004), and poor sleep quality (AOR=2.65; 95% CI=1.47-4.78; P<0.001) were the independent risk factors for periodontal status. In conclusion, the findings indicate that night-shift factory workers exhibit significantly poorer sleep quality, oral hygiene, and periodontal health as compared to their day-shift counterparts.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"48 2","pages":"87-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148157223","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}

A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among 17,893 employees from six Japanese companies, and data from 12,027 respondents were included in the analysis. FSSB was assessed using the Japanese version of Hammer's 14-item scale, and work functioning impairment was measured with the Work Functioning Impairment Scale (WFun). Multivariate regression analyses were performed to evaluate the association between FSSB and WFun scores, adjusting for age, gender, marital status, presence of children under age 18, presence of intra-family caregivers, and companies. After testing for interaction effects between FSSB and gender, stratified analyses were conducted. Additionally, we assessed the relationship between each of the four FSSB subdimensions and work functioning impairment. The results indicated a significant negative association between FSSB and WFun scores. The interaction between FSSB and gender was statistically significant. Stratified analyses revealed that higher FSSB scores were associated with lower WFun scores in both males and females, with a stronger association among males. Among the four subdimensions, emotional support, instrumental support, and creative work-family management were significantly associated with lower work functioning impairment, while role modeling behaviors was not. These findings suggest that strengthening FSSB may help reduce work functioning impairment in workplaces with increasingly diverse workforces.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"48 2","pages":"113-124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148157192","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}

Despite Thailand's significant role in global lychee production, ergonomic risks in lychee harvesting remain under-investigated, even though exposure is evident. This cross-sectional observational study was conducted during the 2022 lychee harvest season across eight orchards in Phayao Province, Thailand. A total of 104 male harvesters were systematically video-recorded during full-task execution. Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) was used to segment workflows into goal-directed sub-tasks, and ergonomic exposures were assessed using the Posture, Activity, Tools, and Handling (PATH) method, with postures coded as neutral or non-neutral using a structured checklist. The harvesters were predominantly older working-age adults (mean age 53.5 years) who worked long hours (7.65 hours/day), often carrying 9.5 kg baskets unilaterally on one shoulder. Postural analysis revealed frequent ergonomic risks: 59% of neck postures and 58% of trunk postures were non-neutral, including 15% with severe forward flexion and 24% involving lateral bending or twisting. Arm elevation above shoulder height was common during climbing and fruit detachment. Spatial layout imposed long travel distances (over 30 meters), contributing to cumulative fatigue. Ladder height, tool design, and task repetition further exacerbated biomechanical strain. Lychee harvesting imposes significant ergonomic risks due to non-neutral postures, load asymmetry, and task repetition. Evidence supports the urgent implementation of ergonomic interventions, including bilateral-carry basket redesign, improved ladder safety, and participatory workflow reorganization to reduce WMSD risks in seasonal fruit agriculture.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"48 2","pages":"71-85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148157174","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}

In this retrospective study, we used 4 years of data from the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination to analyze perioperative sequelae for each surgical procedure. Patients with early-stage endometrial cancer were classified into three groups: laparotomy, laparoscopic surgery, and robotic-assisted surgery. The number of robotic-assisted surgeries is increasing, but hospitals with low surgical volumes performed laparotomy at a rate of 57.6%, while hospitals with higher surgical volume tended to perform fewer laparotomies and more laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgeries. Compared with the laparotomy group, the in-hospital risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals for postoperative sequelae were 0.28 (0.18-0.44) and 0.39 (0.23-0.69) in the laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery groups, respectively (P = 0.001 for all). Regarding blood transfusion treatment, the incidence rate ratios were lower for laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery than for laparotomy (P < 0.001 for all), even after multivariable analysis. In conclusion, in early-stage endometrial cancer, laparotomy had the highest incidence of perioperative sequelae compared to laparoscopic surgery and robotic-assisted surgery.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"48 3","pages":"151-160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148880934","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}

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 teachers in the EEC. The research instrument was a questionnaire. The data collection period was between 20 January and 2 February, 2025. Data were analyzed with multiple logistic regression analysis. The results showed that teachers in Generations X, Y, and Z had significantly different self-experiences of bullying (P < 0.05), with a high level for Generation Y at 47.8%, followed by Generations X and Z at 43.4% and 28.6%, respectively. Factors that were significantly related to OTW (P < 0.05) were female gender (OR = 3.764, 95% CI = 2.050-6.910) and high levels of self-experience of bullying (OR = 11.901, 95% CI = 6.541-21.654). In conclusion, high levels of OTW can occur in all generations, but individuals who have had toxic experiences can make the workplace highly toxic, meaning that most people have had negative experiences. Executives should have a vision and policy to reduce OTW, allow everyone to express their opinions at work, accept each other's opinions, and change from using top-down orders to doing things with participation.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"47 4","pages":"171-180"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145648817","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}
