The aims of this article are to 1) identify working conditions and work characteristics that are associated with workers' perceptions that their work is harmful to their health and 2) identify with what symptoms these working conditions are associated. We used the Swiss dataset from the 2005 edition of the European Working Conditions Survey. The dependent variable was based on the question \"Does your work affect your health?\". Logistic regression was used to identify a set of vari- ables collectively associated with self-reported work-related adverse health effects. A total of 330 (32%) participants reported having their health affected by work. The most frequent symptoms included backache (17.1%), muscular pains (13.1%), stress (18.3%) and overall fatigue (11.7%). Scores for self-reported exposure to physicochemical risks, postural and physical risks, high work demand, and low social support were all significantly as- sociated with workers' perceptions that their work is harmful to their health, regardless of gender or age. A high level of education was associated with stress symptoms, and reports that health was affected by work was associated with low job satisfaction. Many workers believe that their work affects their health. Health specialists should pay attention to the potential associa- tion between work and their patients' health complaints. This is particularly relevant when patients mention symptoms such as muscular pains, backache, overall fatigue, and stress. Specific attention should be given to complaints of stress in highly educated workers.","PeriodicalId":93824,"journal":{"name":"The open occupational health & safety journal","volume":"3 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68123346","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}

More recently, however, there has been a growing awareness that unemployment is harmful to health, and that work is beneficial and may be an effective way to improve health and well- being. However, there has been little attempt to draw together findings from this newer area. This paper gives an overview of current perspectives on work and its associations with improved health and well-being. It provides a framework for dis- cussing the main themes which have emerged in this area. This framework allows consideration of the issues of conceptu- alisation, definition, approach and measurement which are important for future research. It is concluded that this area is still in its infancy, but clearly has the potential to make as influential a contribution as its negative counter-part. Currently, however, our understanding of what makes a good job and how we should conceptualise, study, and help workplaces pro- vide that, is incomplete.","PeriodicalId":93824,"journal":{"name":"The open occupational health & safety journal","volume":"2 1","pages":"9-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68123306","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}

Methods: We used a population-based, historical cohort of 111,800 injured workers aged 20 or older with a claim to the Ontario Workers' Safety and Insurance Board in 1998. We estimated the incidence as the rate of new mild traumatic brain injury in the Ontario working population eligible for compensation by the WSIB. We described the number and duration of disability days using an episodic and cumulative analysis of time on benefits over a two-year period (1997-98) deter- mined from administrative data. Results: The annual incidence was 1.5 (95% CI: 1.3, 1.7) per 10,000 full-time equivalents. Eighty-seven percent of claim- ants had a single episode of benefits with median duration of 11 days (95% CI: 10, 12). Fifty percent were off benefits af- ter 17 days and 75% by 72 days. Conclusions: Mild traumatic brain injury is disabling in the working population. Most work disability is short-term, but a small proportion of claimants become chronically disabled and unable to work.","PeriodicalId":93824,"journal":{"name":"The open occupational health & safety journal","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68122945","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}
