Prevalence and associated factors of sexual, psychological, and physical violence among Physical Therapists in their clinical role in Spain: A national web-based cross-sectional survey
CONCLUSIONS: The exposure to type II workplace violence within the last 12 months among physical therapists in Spain (Europe) is not so high as in some other world regions. Various individual, clinical, and professional/organizational risk factors have been identified in connection with type II workplace violence. Further research is warranted to compare the violence experienced once the COVID pandemic has subsided.PMID:38604160 | DOI:10.1093/joccuh/uiae013 (Source: Journal of Occupational Health)

Trends and regional distribution in health-related quality of life across sex and employment status: A repeated population-based cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggested that the prevalence of low HRQoL levels among unemployed males was consistently high at the annual trend and regional levels. Further research considering comprehensive health determinants and multi-dimensional public health interventions is required to prevent the transition from unemployment to the deterioration of HRQoL.PMID:38604179 | DOI:10.1093/joccuh/uiae017 (Source: Journal of Occupational Health)

Heat and health of occupational workers: a short summary of literature
J Occup Health. 2024 Apr 11:uiae018. doi: 10.1093/joccuh/uiae018. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlobally, occupational workers suffer various health impacts due to extreme heat. In this short review, we examined the literature discussing health impacts of heat on occupational workers, and then discussed certain individual and institutional measures needed to address the problem. Though the available literature in the recent decade discusses health impacts of heat on workers as various heat-related illnesses, we found very few studies examining how occupational workers suffer from issues concerning cardiovascular health, ne...
