Return-to-employment for working-aged adults after burn injury: A mixed methods scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: Consistent definitions of work and measurements of return-to-employment after burn injury are priorities for future research. Longitudinal studies are more likely to capture the complexity of the return-to-employment process, its impact on work participation and changes in employment over time. The social context of work may assist or hinder return-to-work more than physical environmental constraints. Equitable vocational support systems would help address disparities in vocational rehabilitation services available after burn injury.PMID:38578910 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230148 (Source: Work)

Describing the impact of psychological safety on risk prevention: A threshold model construction
CONCLUSION: This research effectively describes the influence of high, moderate, and low levels of psychological safety on the risk prevention of work safety, which provides a psychological model guide to developing measures for the improvement of work safety management.PMID:38578912 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230234 (Source: Work)

Musculoskeletal disorders and work ability among dentists and dental students in Finland
CONCLUSIONS: Despite all the ergonomic advances in modern dentistry, the occurrence of MSD symptoms is still high. MSDs seem to affect dentists' work ability significantly, but amount of sickness absence is relatively low, which may indicate a high level of presenteeism.PMID:38578913 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230303 (Source: Work)

The effects of the traffic signs information volume on the visual characteristics and workload of novice and experienced drivers
CONCLUSIONS: The study concludes that the S3 level of TSIV, corresponding to 30 bits/km, is optimal for both novice and experienced drivers. This level promotes better visual performance and reduces visual workload, indicating that drivers' information acquisition capacity and visual search strategies are maximized while keeping the workload associated with driving at a minimum. These findings have significant implications for enhancing driving safety.PMID:38578914 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230349 (Source: Work)

Determinants of psychological injury among health and social care workers in community settings: A systematic review
CONCLUSION: Occupational and organisational factors are significantly associated with psychological health among HSA workers, in community settings. These aspects of job design, work environment and workplace relationships are modifiable, suggesting an opportunity for work design interventions to improve workers' psychological health and reduce the prevalence of psychological injury in this sector.PMID:38578915 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230426 (Source: Work)

Comparative analysis of mental workload and performance between young and elderly drivers: Implications for road safety and age-related driving challenges
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study indicated that navigating through congested roads and dense urban traffic significantly elevates the mental workload for drivers, consequently impacting their cognitive functioning. Given the critical need for attention in driving, this heightened workload can manifest as increased fatigue, increasing stress levels, and diminished concentration, all of which substantially raise the risk of vehicular accidents. Furthermore, the study highlighted a particular concern for older drivers, whose diminished cognitive capacities further raise their vulnerability to accidents under such demand...
