{"title":"Health and Safety Executive Management Standards: associations with operational effectiveness in policing.","authors":"Jonathan Houdmont","doi":"10.1093/occmed/kqaf018","DOIUrl":"10.1093/occmed/kqaf018","url":null,"abstract":"Background: The United Kingdom (UK) Health and Safety Executive's Management Standards encompass a set of aspirational quality standards and a risk management methodology pertaining to psychosocial working conditions. Two decades since their introduction, implementation of the Management Standards or equivalent approaches remains far from universal across UK organizations. This may be due, in part, to a paucity of evidence concerning their operational effectiveness benefits.Aims: This study aimed to generate evidence on the business benefits of the Management Standards by examining associations between achievement of the good practice quality standards and indices of operational effectiveness.Methods: Police custody sergeants (N = 1493) completed the Management Standards Indicator Tool that assesses the extent to which the quality standards are met, plus measures of operational effectiveness (job performance, attendance behaviours, intention to leave). Logistic regression was used to examine associations between achievement of the quality standards and operational effectiveness.Results: The proportion of respondents reporting fulfilment of the quality standards in their workplace ranged from 3% (change) to 65% (role). Achievement of the quality standards was variously associated with elevated odds for the concurrent presence of desirable states of operational effectiveness.Conclusions: These findings point to the operational effectiveness benefits of a preventative approach to the management of workplace psychosocial risk and may encourage organizations to adopt the Management Standards or an equivalent approach to fulfil their legal duty in respect to psychosocial risk management.","PeriodicalId":54696,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Medicine-Oxford","volume":" ","pages":"137-142"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12150778/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659729","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}

Consequently, it becomes imperative to assess the occupational Health Literacy (OHL) of healthcare workers and identify the influencing factors.Aims: The aim is to determine the OHL levels of healthcare workers and examine their relationship with demographic, socio-cultural characteristics, and variables related to the work environment.Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted among 200 healthcare workers employed in healthcare services, administrative services, and support services at an education and research hospital in Niğde, Turkey, from November-December 2023. Data collection involved the utilization of a personal information form encompassing participants' socio-demographic characteristics and occupational health practices, along with the OHL Scale. Descriptive statistics, intergroup difference analyses, and multiple regression analysis were employed for data analysis.Results: The participants demonstrated an average OHL score of 94.07 ± 11.33. They scored highest in Understanding occupational health and safety (OHS) Information (40.93) and lowest in Evaluating OHS Information (9.57). OHL among healthcare workers varied based on demographics, socio-cultural factors, and work-related variables. Age, education, tenure, vaccination, regular health screenings, workplace accidents and personal protective equipment (PPE) usage positively impacted OHL.Conclusions: Findings revealed participants possess a certain level of OHL. Age, education, tenure, vaccination, regular health screenings, workplace accidents and PPE usage accounted for 53% of OHL variance. Enhancing workplace safety measures and improving healthcare workers' OHL are recommended.","PeriodicalId":54696,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Medicine-Oxford","volume":" ","pages":"121-127"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144041156","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, there is little contemporary evaluation of their clinical outcomes to inform commissioners or potential service users.Aims: To establish whether treatment by PTSD Resolution therapists resulted in positive outcomes at the end of therapy and follow-up; to establish risk and resilience factors associated with positive treatment outcomes; and to the extent possible, compare PTSD Resolution with National Health Service (NHS)-Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services.Methods: A sample of 211 closed cases from the service provider between April 2022 and May 2023 were utilized. Clients provided demographic data and completed a series of mental health screening tools. Follow-up data were also collected where possible. Paired t-tests, univariable binary logistic regressions and chi-squared tests were used in the analysis.Results: Around 6% of clients attended only one session, with 82% having a planned ending. This service evaluation suggests that veterans who enter therapy with PTSD Resolution appear to experience similar rates of recovery to IAPT users. Analysis of follow-up data revealed that clients scores slightly increased following the completion of therapy but remained below caseness thresholds and significantly lower than entry-level scores.Conclusions: These data suggest that veterans who choose to engage with PTSD Resolution for their mental health difficulties should expect to experience a similar benefit to that they would have experienced if they had sought outpatient care from the NHS.","PeriodicalId":54696,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Medicine-Oxford","volume":" ","pages":"105-112"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12150771/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143756082","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}

The mechanisms behind this association remain unclear.Aims: To investigate the presenteeism rate of frontline nurses and explore the effect of presenteeism on their physio-psychological disorders with personal health prevention and control strategies as the mediator.Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted between April and May 2022 among Chinese frontline nurses working in isolation wards and assisting Shanghai in combating the COVID-19 outbreak. A total of 350 participants from one hospital were invited to complete a questionnaire survey. Structural equation modelling examined the relationships among presenteeism, personal health prevention and control strategies, and physio-psychological disorders.Results: A total of 300 frontline nurses participated. Participants reported a presenteeism rate of 66%. Presenteeism had a direct influence on mental disorders (β = 0.29, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.12, 0.47) and physical disorders (β = 0.37, 95% CI: 0.22, 0.54). Personal health prevention and control strategies mediated the relationship between presenteeism and mental disorders (β = 0.10, 95% CI: 0.01, 0.20) or physical disorders (β = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.07, 0.33).Conclusions: Presenteeism remained high among Chinese frontline nurses. Personal health prevention and control strategies partly mediated the negative effect of presenteeism on health. Thus, reducing presenteeism and enhancing protection and control strategies may be important measures to promote the health of these nurses.","PeriodicalId":54696,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Medicine-Oxford","volume":" ","pages":"99-104"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143744380","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 government is considering a range of new initiatives to bring them back into the workforce; however, a lack of occupational health (OH) professionals, who play an important part in the recovery of physical and mental conditions that would otherwise inhibit employees from working, is hindering these efforts.Aims: To identify factors that make OH attractive as a source of employment with the aim of assisting those undertaking recruitment to the specialism.Methods: We conducted a qualitative study comparing the views of 13 OH nurses and doctors ('insiders') and 45 students and professionals from other medical and nursing fields ('outsiders') across the UK. Both groups provided their perceptions about what makes OH an attractive career. Data collection involved a mix of interviews and focus groups conducted from March to July 2023. Transcripts were thematically analysed using NVivo 14 to manage the data.Results: Both groups highly valued the work-life balance offered by OH work, which represents a positive point of attraction to employment. In addition, people working in OH talked extensively about more intrinsic rewards-the opportunity to be impactful, to enjoy job variety and to practise preventative approaches.Conclusions: The intrinsic rewards that OH work brings need to be advertised more widely to attract potential recruits who are 'a good fit' to OH and will be committed to the field.","PeriodicalId":54696,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Medicine-Oxford","volume":" ","pages":"660-667"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142807366","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}
