Traditional employer-driven approaches often fail to address these challenges comprehensively, leading to persistent gaps in work condition transparency and well-being.Aims: To elucidate the working conditions of health workers and introduce a worker-centred, technology-based strategy moving beyond traditional practices and entrenched medical culture.Methods: A nationwide survey of Belgian medical residents evaluated occupational conditions and perceptions of management practices. Additionally, the alpha version of a decentralized mobile application was tested to gather user satisfaction and feedback on its usability. The data were surveyed using Pearson's chi-squared and Kruskal-Wallis rank sum tests to assess associations between categorical and ordinal variables, respectively. Alpha-testing results were evaluated using descriptive statistics.Results: The nationwide survey, involving 257 participants, revealed significant associations between medical specialty, work choices and compensation. Notably, 91% of participants expressed strong interest in our proposed open, decentralized solution. In the alpha testing phase, 12 testers reported high satisfaction regarding time-tracking accuracy and payroll verification, though challenges related to administrative burden were also identified.Conclusions: The findings underscore the need for innovative, worker-centred occupational management solutions. The proposed solution shows promise in improving autonomy and transparency, potentially enhancing healthcare delivery and sustainability.","PeriodicalId":54696,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Medicine-Oxford","volume":" ","pages":"42-49"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143016197","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 prevalence of Long Covid-19 in the workforce is also unknown. Furthermore, workers affected by Long Covid-19 encounter considerable difficulties in ensuring work safety and returning to their jobs due to this condition.Aims: This review is aimed to identify the prevalence of Long Covid-19 in the workplace and to determine the various symptoms of Long Covid-19 experienced by the workers.Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted to calculate the pooled estimates for the prevalence of Long Covid-19. Heterogeneity among the estimates was evaluated using the I² statistic.Results: The pooled prevalence of Long Covid-19 among workers across the 11 studies was 38% (95% CI 23-56). A total of 43 symptoms associated with Long Covid-19 were identified in the workplace, with the top five symptoms being dyspnoea at moderate activity (51%, 95% CI 39-62), mental symptoms (38%, 95% CI 6-87), dyspnoea at mild activity (35%, 95% CI 25-47), fatigue (26%, 95% CI 3-78) and effort intolerance (24%, 95% CI 15-35).Conclusions: The review indicates a significant burden of long-lasting symptoms within the workforce. The top five reported symptoms of Long Covid-19 were dyspnoea during mild and moderate activities, mental symptoms, fatigue and effort intolerance.","PeriodicalId":54696,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Medicine-Oxford","volume":" ","pages":"33-41"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11973416/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142973376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, evidence is lacking on which self-reported symptoms or activity limitations are related to job loss, especially during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Aims: We investigated whether self-reported symptoms or activity limitations were correlated with the occurrence of job loss within 1 year during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we used questionnaires administered to Japanese workers. A baseline survey conducted in December 2020 was used to determine workers' symptoms or activity limitations. Experiencing job loss since the baseline survey was ascertained with a follow-up survey in December 2021. The odds ratios of experiencing job loss were estimated using a logistic model with adjusted covariates.Results: Men (n = 8682) accounted for 58% of the total sample (n = 14 910), and the respondent mean age was 48.2 years. Multivariate analysis showed that workers with pain-related problems; limited physical movement and mobility; fatigue, loss of strength or appetite, fever, dizziness and moodiness; mental health problems; sleep-related problems or eye-related matters had a greater probability of experiencing job loss owing to health reasons.Conclusions: Several self-reported symptoms or activity limitations can lead to job loss after 1 year, indicating that prevention and resolution of symptoms or activity limitations are important to reduce workers' risk of losing their jobs.","PeriodicalId":54696,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Medicine-Oxford","volume":" ","pages":"50-57"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142807648","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}

Positive transitions, such as moving from unemployment to employment, can improve job satisfaction and social standing, while negative transitions, such as unemployment, have been associated with adverse health outcomes.Aims: To assess the impact of employment stability on health outcomes among young workers.Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database. The study included 4 031 249 individuals aged 25-44 years who underwent health check-ups between 2009 and 2010. Employment stability was categorized into two groups: stable employment and unstable employment. Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using multivariable Cox proportional hazard models to evaluate the impact of employment stability on the risk of all-cause mortality.Results: Unstable employment significantly increased the risk of all-cause mortality in both men and women compared with the stable employment group. The HRs were 1.80 (95% CI: 1.74-1.86) for men and 1.58 (95% CI: 1.49-1.68) for women. The impact was most pronounced among individuals aged 40-44 years, those in higher-income subgroups, and those with diabetes, highlighting these groups as particularly vulnerable to the effects of unstable employment.Conclusions: This study highlights the impact of employment stability on all-cause mortality, focusing on gender differences, young workers and social role theory.","PeriodicalId":54696,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Medicine-Oxford","volume":" ","pages":"128-136"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144055846","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}
