“…Accumulated evidence from previous studies has shown a decrease in medication adherence and QOL, such as sleep disorders, in shift workers [ 31 32 ]. In addition, physical laborers were associated with an increased risk of poor adherence compared with other types of workers [ 31 33 ]. Our data highlight the need for strategies to improve non-adherence in patients with occupations, particularly those who work manually or are shift workers.…”

Objective To identify the adherence rate to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors and identify factors contributing to the deterioration of adherence at our institution. Methods The adherence rate to PARP inhibitors was calculated using self-reported Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale questionnaires from a cross-sectional survey. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors that affected adherence. Results Of the 131 respondents, 32 (24.4%) showed non-adherence to PARP inhibitors. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, unemployed or retired status (odds ratio [OR]=4.878; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.528–15.572; p=0.008), patients receiving niraparib (OR=3.387; 95% CI=1.283–8.940; p=0.014), and a lower score on the quality-of-life assessment (EORTC-QLQ-OV28), which reflects a better quality of life (QOC) with a lower symptom burden (OR=1.056; 95% CI=1.027–1.086; p<0.001) were associated with high adherence to PARP inhibitors. Conclusion Approximately one-fourth of patients with ovarian cancer are non-adherent to PARP inhibitors as maintenance treatment for newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. The occupational status, type of PARP inhibitor, and QOC may affect adherence to PARP inhibitors.

“…Evaluating the food consumption of populations is a complex task, and in shift workers, there are signi cant additional methodological challenges. Variability in work patterns and the availability of food during the night can in uence both the calorie intake and the variety of food items consumed (Kelly et al, 2023;Souza et al, 2019). In addition, the lack of adequate facilities for eating at night can make it di cult to adopt healthy eating patterns (Reeves et al, 2004).…”

Objective: To evaluate the association between food consumption, by extent and purpose of processing, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among rotating shift workers. Methods: The cross-sectional study included 213 male shift workers. Dietary intake was assessed using a 24-hour recall method conducted by trained interviewers. Food items were classified using two approaches: the first was based on the quantity consumed from each food group. Fruits and vegetables (FV) intake, is classified as recommended at 400g per day by WHO guidelines. Ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) were analyzed based on tertiles of daily caloric contribution. The second approach, the NOVA dietary diversity score (DDS-NOVA) assessed the variety of consumed items within each food group, assigning points for each unique item consumed, irrespective of quantity or frequency. The CVD risk was evaluated using the Framingham coronary heart disease risk score (FCRS), categorizing participants as low risk (<5%) or intermediate to high risk (>5%). Descriptive, univariate, and multivariate logistic regression were used. Results: CVD-risk was classified as high in 43.7%. In the multivariate model, the recommended consumption of FV was associated with a lower chance of high CVD-risk (OR:0.47;95%CI:0.23-0.98), and there was no association between the amount of UPF consumption and CVD-risk. In terms of variety, fresh-food consumption was associated with a lower chance of high CVD-risk (OR:0.67;95%CI:0.23-0.98), and UPF consumption was associated with higher CVD-risk (OR:1.30;95%CI:1.12-1.87). Conclusion: Consumption of both variety and quantity of fresh-foods was associated with a lower chance of CVD-risk, while a variety of consumption of UPF items increased this chance.

“…The workplace is complex, with multiple factors and determinants that influence physical activity [ 18 , 19 ]. For shift workers, lack of time and work-related fatigue may explain workers’ low levels of physical activity [ 20 ]. According to a study conducted in shift working South African doctors, more steps were reported when working longer shifts, thus resulting in more physical activity at work [ 21 ].…”

Workplace health promotion programs (WHPPs) can improve shift workers’ physical activity. The purpose of this paper is to present the process evaluation of a text messaging health promotion intervention for mining shift workers during a 24-day shift cycle. Data collected from intervention participants with a logbook (n = 25) throughout the intervention, exit interviews (n = 7) and online surveys (n = 17) examined the WHPP using the RE-AIM (Reach, Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance) framework. The program reached 66% of workers across three departments, with 15% of participants dropping out. The program showed the potential to be adopted if the recruitment strategies are improved to reach more employees, especially when involving work managers for recruitment. A few changes were made to the program, and participant adherence was high. Facilitators to adopt and implement the health promotion program included the use of text messaging to improve physical activity, feedback on behaviour, and providing incentives. Work-related fatigue was reported as a barrier to implementing the program. Participants reported that they would recommend the program to other workers and use the Mi fitness band to continue monitoring and improving their health behaviour. This study showed that shift workers were optimistic about health promotion. Allowing for long-term evaluation and involving the company management to determine scale-up should be considered for future programs.
