The relationship between the level of postural stress, Musculoskeletal Disorders, and chronic fatigue: A case study in the dairy industry
CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained in this study support the notion that high levels of postural stress and MSDs can produce an increase in chronic fatigue among workers, and lack of ergonomics training for workers can increase both MSDs and chronic fatigue. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out intervention measures in the field of ergonomics management in similar industries through the implementation of ergonomic intervention programs with a focus on proactive and preventive measures and the use of participatory ergonomic programs and educational demands assessment.PMID:38457168 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230309 (Source: Work)

A profile of two different applicant test batteries with regards to sex and age in successful law enforcement applicants
CONCLUSIONS: Regardless of ATB used, females and older applicants generally would benefit from specific fitness training to better prepare for academy. Older applicants may experience greater challenges in running tasks, especially those involving sprinting, which could also be impacted by qualities important for running/sprinting (i.e., maximal strength and power).PMID:38457169 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230333 (Source: Work)

A thematic analysis of how men and women post 56 years, unwind from work during their free time

The impact of transition programs on well-being, experiences of work environment and turnover intentionamong early career hospital nurses
CONCLUSION: Newly graduated nurses need more than transition programs and skills training to progress in their nursing role and develop competence, increase job satisfaction, and reduce stress. Achieving these goals requires a long-term supportive learning environment that is integrated into everyday work.PMID:38457173 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230537 (Source: Work)

Morbimortality profile by COVID-19 in telework and on-site work in an oil and gas company in Brazil
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that testing is important to refrain the virus spread in the company's work environments, as it allowed asymptomatic workers to be diagnosed with COVID-19. The study suggested that on-site work was not a transmission facilitator in the occupational environment, which points out the importance of preventive measures in the workplace and the adoption of remote work for the largest possible number of workers to improve the safety of employees, workers who remained in the on-site work modality.PMID:38457165 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230114 (Source: Work)

Evaluation of the relationship between the fear of COVID-19 and mental status of female employees during the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSION: Women, young people, the elderly and single individuals were most likely affected psychologically during the pandemic. Thus, interventions and psychological evaluations are recommended at an early stage to minimize this effect. Such interventions must be implemented considering the strategic planning and coordination of risk groups.PMID:38457167 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230306 (Source: Work)
