However, concerns about the external validity of existing findings persist due to insufficiency of studies with ecologically sound experimental designs.ObjectiveThrough an experiment that prioritized higher ecological validity, this study aimed to explore the effects of working in an office room vegetated with green plants on employees' physiological and psychological well-being, and their attentional performance.MethodsThis controlled experimental study employed a crossover design in real-life work environments, involving 40 working individuals. It assessed changes in perceived fatigue, psychological and physiological stress, and attentional performance after individual work in either a vegetated or plant-free office room, with other environmental factors kept constant.ResultsAfter an hour of individual work in a vegetated room, participants reported decreased perceived stress and fatigue, supported by changes in measures of systolic blood pressure and heart rates when compared to a plant-free room. Gender differences emerged, with females experiencing greater relief in perceived stress and males showing more noticeable reductions in stress-related physiological indicators. Enhanced attentional reactions were noted solely among males.ConclusionsThis study accentuated the immediate emotional well-being benefits of indoor plants at work, highlighting the importance of considering diverse user groups in indoor workspace design. It also proposes potential explanations for how indoor plants induce restorative effects on working individuals, suggesting further research.","PeriodicalId":51373,"journal":{"name":"Work-A Journal of Prevention Assessment & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10519815251323994"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143671579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In China resource-intensive healthcare sector, sustainable practices are vital to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).ObjectiveThis study investigates the influence of GAL on pro-environmental behavior (PEB), focusing on the mediating role of environmental passion (EP) and the moderating effect of face consciousness (FC).MethodsA quantitative research design was employed, utilizing survey data collected from a sample of employees in hospitals. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data and test the proposed relationships via MPLUS.ResultsThe study findings indicate that GAL has a significant positive impact on PEB. Additionally, EP was identified as a partial mediator in the relationship between GAL and PEB. The moderating effect of FC indicated that employees with higher levels of EP and greater FC in their work environment exhibit enhanced PEB within their organization.ConclusionsThe originality and value of this research lie in its comprehensive examination of the underlying mechanisms via mediating and moderating factors in the relationship between GAL and PEB. Specifically, this research contributes to the growing body of literature on GAL and PEB by shedding light on the mediating role of EP and the moderating role of FC. This study offers theoretical insights and practical recommendations for health industry to effectively manage PEB through GAL and the cultivation of EP and FC among employees.","PeriodicalId":51373,"journal":{"name":"Work-A Journal of Prevention Assessment & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10519815251320273"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An increase in studies since 2020 indicates growing interest in the topic. Challenges among screen-level bureaucrats included work-life balance problems, technostress and fear of job loss. Among street-level bureaucrats, reported challenges included curtailed discretion, lack of user involvement and ethical stress. Identified knowledge gaps include the small number of studies with a work environment focus in general and on sectors beyond office and health settings in particular, few studies set outside of Europe and absence of studies on recent phenomena such as AI or algorithmic management.ConclusionsIn view of the presented scarcity of research, we suggest that relevant questions are included in national and local surveys to enable more research, that more studies are conducted in occupational sectors, countries and regions lacking this type of research, and that comparative research is stimulated to uncover differences between the effects of digitalisation on occupational health in private and public sector work settings.","PeriodicalId":51373,"journal":{"name":"Work-A Journal of Prevention Assessment & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10519815251320274"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the moderating role of job stress in the relationship between obesity and oxidative stress remains inadequately understood.ObjectivesThis study explored whether job stress, specifically the extrinsic and intrinsic components of the Effort Reward Imbalance (ERI) model, moderates the relationship between obesity and oxidative stress among female nurses.MethodsWe conducted an exploratory analysis from a cross-sectional study involving female nurses at a tertiary hospital in Western India. The study assessed the prevalence of obesity and overweight based on the suggested criteria for the Asian Indian population. We examined correlations among obesity markers and oxidative stress markers and explored if there is a moderator role of job stress on the relationship between obesity and oxidative stress.ResultsThe combined prevalence of overweight and obesity in the study population was 74%. Significant positive correlations were found between age, obesity-related parameters (Body-mass Index, Percentage Body Fat, Waist-Hip Ratio), and oxidative stress markers (Protein carbonyl content and Glutathione S-Transferase). The relationship between obesity and oxidative stress markers was moderated by overcommitment. Nurses with marked overcommitment exhibited stronger associations between age, obesity, and oxidative stress markers compared to those without marked overcommitment.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that overcommitment moderates the relationship between obesity and oxidative stress, highlighting the need to address intrinsic as well as extrinsic work-related factors in interventions targeting obesity among nurses. Future studies should confirm these findings and explore mechanisms to develop targeted interventions.","PeriodicalId":51373,"journal":{"name":"Work-A Journal of Prevention Assessment & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10519815251324000"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It severely limited participation in typical winter outdoor recreational and leisure activities and resulted in unemployment or underemployment of thousands of Minnesotans.ObjectiveThe aim of this article is to draw attention to the direct impact climate change has on human occupations and suggest ways that occupational therapy practitioners and others can contribute to efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change.MethodsThe author reviewed of publicly available data, news stories, and had conversations with people directly affected by the winter that was unusually warm and dry. This information was then synthesized into this article.ResultsIn Minnesota, the climate in winters is changing faster than in summers. The lack of snow and ice, directly resulted in unemployment or underemployment of thousands of Minnesotans. It cost businesses, clubs, and communities untold dollars in lost revenue. Further, thousands of Minnesotans lost opportunities to ski, skate, snowmobile, ice fish, snowshoe, dogsled, and engage in many other outdoor activities.ConclusionEngagement in outdoor activities is an important part of life in Minnesota. When climate change interferes with these outdoor activities, it is cause for concern. It impacts paid work, volunteer work, recreation, and leisure. This is of particular concern to occupational therapy practitioners. More must be done to reduce the human causes of climate change.","PeriodicalId":51373,"journal":{"name":"Work-A Journal of Prevention Assessment & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10519815251319223"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
