In this paper, we examine typical mental health interventions implemented in universities. We conducted semistructured, qualitative interviews with 34 academic workers and 20 nonacademic workers and administrators employed at Canadian universities. We identify three main features of university interventions and document their impact on the work and health of academic workers. First, interventions tend to take a \"wellness\" approach, focusing on individual solutions. Second, interventions tend to rely on generic content from corporate and nonprofit organizations to manage faculty mental health. Third, despite messaging that encourages help-seeking, faculty experience pressure to maintain productivity while ill. Drawing on insights from the literature on neoliberal managerialism and the gendered organization of the university, we show how the focus on the generic individual obfuscates the health consequences of rising expectations, high work demands, and the gendered organization of university labor. Meaningful interventions must address workload and work conditions, while considering the health consequences of the gendered organization of university work.","PeriodicalId":45586,"journal":{"name":"New Solutions-A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"292-303"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12441212/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that doctors, supportive principals, supportive colleagues, supportive human resource departments, supportive school boards, and the teaching unions were facilitators for taking a leave, while stigma, unsupportive administration, preparation, and the process of taking a leave were barriers. In returning to work, principals and administrators, and preparation to return were cited as barriers, while colleagues, principals and administrators, doctors, unions and a change in work were facilitators. We interpret these findings through a synthesized framework combining Allegro and Veerman's theory of sickness absence and D'Amato and Zijsrtra's theory of work resumption, highlighting individual, organizational, and societal factors shaping leave and return decisions. With the high cost of teacher absences and critical staffing shortages, we discuss the impacts of these facilitators and barriers and make recommendations for practice for a healthy teaching workforce.","PeriodicalId":45586,"journal":{"name":"New Solutions-A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"316-325"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12441210/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144733815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is unclear how working conditions for the same job differ when work is conducted in-person versus remotely and online, and whether occupational health risks can be considered as equal across formats. Our study examined schoolteachers to understand online versus in-person teaching work and health conditions. Focus groups and interviews about online teaching took place in 2023 to 2024 with 47 Canadian teachers and tutors who teach from kindergarten to Grade 12. We identified 5 key areas where synchronous online teaching conditions diverted from traditional classroom teaching and posed particular occupational health challenges for teachers. These are digital surveillance, technostress, loss of control over the teaching environment, difficult student engagement work, and moral discomfort. We recommend that teachers' job contracts and collective agreements should distinguish between in-person and online teaching and take into account the different related risks.","PeriodicalId":45586,"journal":{"name":"New Solutions-A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"283-291"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12441211/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144676024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As part of the Healthy Professional Worker Partnership, we collected insights from trainees, co-investigators, the project director and the co-leads of a trainee support network. Their research involved conducting interviews that sometimes addressed sensitive or traumatic subjects. Using a public health theoretical framework with inductive thematic analysis of exit interviews and written feedback, we developed guidance for safeguarding the mental health of researchers. Key responsive interventions to address mental health challenges included regular training and check-ins, reducing the frequency of the interviews conducted by trainees and applying strategies to handle the mental health impacts of their content, and proactive workload management. Promising practices emerged, such as establishing a trainee support network and a compendium of resources, integrating debrief time, ensuring clear communication, and adapting expectations and timelines. Recommendations emphasize the importance of responsiveness, collaboration and flexibility, alongside a formalized onboarding process. Research teams, especially those that are large, geographically distributed, or undertaking research on challenging issues, need a systematic approach to promotion of mental health, prevention of mental ill-health, and remediation of mental illness. This study offers practical guidance for fostering healthier and more supportive research environments.","PeriodicalId":45586,"journal":{"name":"New Solutions-A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"304-315"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12441214/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144822864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is responsible for developing such evidence, and funds extramural centers for education, training and research. Using the results of a survey and key informant interviews, we document the impact of research and outreach collaborations by the centers during the pandemic. From 26 surveys and 9 interviews, several themes emerged. Through established partnerships, experts from the NIOSH-funded Centers translated and operationalized information from agencies for local businesses and workers; provided timely technical assistance and outreach; and engaged in research to study health impacts of COVID-19 on diverse worker populations. Overall, the NIOSH-funded centers and programs played an important role in providing critically needed occupational health and safety services to regional stakeholders during the pandemic. Continuing to develop intramural-extramural partnerships to be responsive during a public health emergency will allow these Centers to serve as local or regional subject matter experts, gather real-time data during an emergency event, and aid in the overall response for subsequent public health emergencies.","PeriodicalId":45586,"journal":{"name":"New Solutions-A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"200-213"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143774561","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}
