Influence of nurse work environment and psychological distress on resignation from hospitals: a prospective study
This study examined whether a better nurse work environment (1) is associated with reducing nurses' psychological distress; (2) reduces nurse resignations; (3) weakens the influence of psychological distress on their resignation through interaction effect; and (4) whether psychological distress increases nurse turnover. Multilevel logistic regression analyses were performed using data obtained in 2014 from 2,123 staff nurses from a prospective longitudinal survey project of Japanese hospitals. The nurse work environment was measured by the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) consisting of five su...

Loneliness without distress, chosen isolation (solitude) at the workplace, and mental health and job performance: a cross-sectional study of Japanese employees
Ind Health. 2024 Apr 8. doi: 10.2486/indhealth.2023-0181. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhile loneliness and social isolation in the workplace affect the mental health and job performance of employees, the effects of loneliness without distress and solitude (i.e., chosen isolation) on these outcomes are unclear. The cross-sectional association was examined by using online survey of full-time employees in Japan (n=846). The results showed that the "loneliness with distress" group had significantly higher psychological distress and lower job performance than the other groups. Work engagement was lower both in the "loneliness...

Estimating metabolic rate from International Organization for Standardization heart rate method and two walking equations
Ind Health. 2024 Apr 3. doi: 10.2486/indhealth.2024-0015. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAssigning a value for metabolic rate is central to heat stress assessment. ISO 8996 describes a predictive method for walking based on the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) method and another generalized method based on average heart rate. In addition, the US Army uses the load carriage decision aid (LCDA) predictive equation to estimate metabolic rate. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy/bias and precision of the ISO heart rate method and the ACSM and LCDA equations. The laboratory database included metabolic ...
