A few reviews to date have examined the occupational therapy interventions related to return-to-work post TBI.Objective: To examine the interventions that fall under the purview of the field of occupational therapy in facilitating return to work post mild, moderate, or severe traumatic brain injury.Methods: The following databases were searched: CINAHL, Ovid, PsychInfo, PubMed, & Scopus. Fifteen articles met the inclusion criteria (articles published within the past 10 years, adults, & received rehabilitation services for return to work). The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses was used to guide this review.Results: The most effective intervention approaches that fall under the purview of occupational therapy practice to facilitate return to work in individuals with traumatic brain injury included the use of (i) vocational and work hardening rehabilitation interventions, (ii) a multidisciplinary approach to care, (iii) mental health and cognition focused interventions, and (iv) the Model of Occupational Self Efficacy. Interventions must consider both client and work-related factors to ensure successful outcomes.Conclusions: The articles included in this review provided moderate level evidence that multidisciplinary and holistic approaches lead to successful return to work and community reintegration outcomes for individuals with traumatic brain injury. Focusing on client and work-related factors through vocational rehabilitation, cognitive and mental health interventions, and client-centered models of care is recommended to yield better return to work outcomes for traumatic brain injury survivors.","PeriodicalId":51373,"journal":{"name":"Work-A Journal of Prevention Assessment & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10519815251317411"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460668","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, research on its prevalence among HCWs in Singapore and its work impact is lacking.Objective: This study aims to assess Long COVID prevalence and its impact on work role functioning among HCWs in two Singapore tertiary hospitals, filling a critical gap in the literature.Methods: Conducted from January to April 2023, this study evaluated Long COVID prevalence and its impact on HCWs' work-role functioning in two Singapore tertiary hospitals. HCWs over 21, having experienced ≥1 COVID-19 infection, participated in an online survey. Long COVID, defined by NICE criteria, entailed symptoms persisting for 4 or more weeks. Work-related functioning was assessed using WRFQv2.0. Descriptive analyses were conducted using STATA software.Results: Out of 15,882 eligible participants, 573 responded (3.6% response rate). Long COVID prevalence (symptoms persisting for ≥4 weeks) was 47.5%, notably higher among younger HCWs (<40 years old), those with moderate/severe infections, and multiple infections. HCWs with Long COVID had significantly lower WRFQv2.0 mean scores compared to those without (85.1 vs. 74.3, p < 0.05). Additionally, HCWs with symptoms for ≥12 weeks had significantly lower scores than those without Long COVID (85.6 vs. 74.3, p < 0.05).Conclusion: This study underscores Long COVID's potential impact on HCWs' work role functioning, especially among those with prolonged symptoms. Tailored work adjustments are crucial for their successful return to pre-illness levels, highlighting the importance of addressing Long COVID in healthcare settings.","PeriodicalId":51373,"journal":{"name":"Work-A Journal of Prevention Assessment & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10519815251319233"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460524","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}

High demands, multitasking, and inexplicit boundaries between different occupations contribute to an explanation. However, research shows that more qualitative studies are needed to better understand this issue and how to promote health in the working population.Objective: The study aims to explore participants' experiences of maintaining or regaining occupational health in their everyday life, including paid work, several years after sick leave.Method: Nine semi-structured interviews were conducted and analysed using inductive content analysis. The analysis resulted in one major theme and three categories describing the current experiences handling their everyday life and work situations.Results: The result showed that returning to work and maintaining occupational health after sick leave due to occupational ill health calls for \"flex-ability\". The term describes that individuals need to be open to change and adapt to new challenges at work and in everyday life.Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of health-promotive organisations where the individual factor is more considered. Furthermore, a broader view of health-promotive work in society where work is included in everyday life, instead of divided into and outside of work, is needed.","PeriodicalId":51373,"journal":{"name":"Work-A Journal of Prevention Assessment & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10519815251317338"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460664","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}

Studies show low-wage work is linked to more occupational hazards, higher physical demands, more stress, lack of access to health insurance coverage and paid sick leave, and poverty - all of which result in poorer health. Work accommodations are modifications in the workplace setting that can help minimize health-related work limitations, and in some countries, employers are required to make \"reasonable accommodations,\" by law, for workers with chronic health conditions.Objective: The purpose of this scoping review is to identify what is known about work accommodations for low-wage workers globally.Methods: A systematic search of literature, using the PRISMA-ScR protocol, was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus databases through July 2024. Screening and data abstraction were performed by two independent reviewers. Studies that incorporated work accommodations as a variable and provided findings specific to low-wage workers were included.Results: The search produced 473 citations; 14 met inclusion criteria. Health conditions represented were variable. Most studies used descriptive designs, and over half used a qualitative approach.Conclusion: More studies are needed reflecting low-wage workers' requests for and receipt of work accommodations. Work accommodations may be an important target for intervention among populations with chronic health conditions towards reducing morbidity, work limitations, and health inequities.","PeriodicalId":51373,"journal":{"name":"Work-A Journal of Prevention Assessment & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10519815241312597"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460896","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}

The experimental group completed a four-week, twice-weekly 90-min mindfulness training. Assessments included the five facets mindfulness questionnaire (FFMQ) and measures of job pressure, burnout, and coping strategies, with analyses of correlations and linear regressions between mindfulness and these factors.Results: The FFMQ correlated negatively with various stressors (R ranging from -0.331 to -0.943, p < 0.001) and burnout indicators (R = -0.414 to -0.480, p < 0.001). Job pressure predicted mindfulness levels (β = -0.973), with a predictive model: Y = 206.275-0.973 * job pressure. The experimental group's FFMQ scores rose by 13.9% at week four (p = 0.003), with reductions in job pressure, external competition, and negative coping (7.4%, 20.3%, and 18.1% respectively, p < 0.05). They also outperformed the control group in FFMQ scores and stress measures at week four (p < 0.05).Conclusion: A four-week mindfulness program significantly enhances mindfulness, reduces job stress, burnout, and negative coping among sports coaches, underscoring its potential as an evidence-based intervention for improving work performance and mental health.","PeriodicalId":51373,"journal":{"name":"Work-A Journal of Prevention Assessment & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10519815251317310"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460622","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}
