Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the variables associated with work ability, work‐family conflict and the relationship between these variables. Methods An observational prospective study was conducted and involved 436 employees of a Teaching Hospital in Rome. Data collection was performed using the following tools: the Work Ability Index (WAI) and the Work‐to‐family conflict and Family‐to‐work conflict Scale (WFC—FWC Scale). Data were analyzed through univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multivariate linear regression, using the SPSS software version 25. Results A direct relationship of the WFC score with two variables (female gender and physicians) and an inverse relationship with other two variables (age and administrative staff) were found. There is a direct relationship between the FWC score and the variable “having sons”. The WFC and FWC scores showed a direct relationship between them. The Work Ability presented an almost significant association only with the profession variable, in which administrative staff, followed by physicians, presented a higher WAI score with respect to other professional categories, such as nurses. Conclusions Wellbeing intervention for health workers should be directed mainly to women, older workers and those with sons. In addition, more attention should be given to nurses, who showed lower work ability scores.
Background: In the last few years the possible etiological role of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the outbreak of extrahepatic pathologies has being studied, including lymphomas. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that around 257 million people live with chronic HBV infection, to date the vaccine is the most effective means of prevention. Objective: The aim of this review was to evaluate whether the vaccination against Hepatitis B can lead to reduction in lymphoma cases and have a protective role. Methods: A literature search was conducted in April 2020 using the databases Scopus, PubMed and ISI Web of Science. Search terms included: “Hepatitis B vaccination AND lymphoma”. All articles were selected evaluating the association between Hepatitis B vaccination and the prevention of lymphoma. No limits were applied. Results: Eight studies were eligible to be included in the review. Data showed that association between lymphoma and HBV infection is not the same for all types of lymphoma, but it appeared to be more significant for Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The results from all the considered articles were not unitary. This is because studies came from many different countries with different endemicity of Hepatitis B, different vaccination coverage, treatment of chronic Hepatitis and prevention of its complications, as well as the availability of data for researchers. No statistically significant association was found between HBV vaccination and development of lymphomas. Conclusion: Although the literature is still largely lacking regarding the protective effect of anti-HBV vaccination on lymphoma subtypes, the association between HBV infection and lymphoma has been confirmed in several studies. Vaccination programs eliminate the risk of HBV infection and prevent liver disease but can also indirectly reduce the risk of lymphomas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
