“…The results interpretation should be cautious as the 95% CIs of ORs were often overlapped. Various measures (socioeconomic factors, injuries, Table 4 Contribution of socioeconomic factors, school, behaviour and health-related difficulties to the associations between sleep difficulty and school and out-of-school single and repeated injuries (vs. none): odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval (CI) and contribution (% sleep difficulty, school performance, drug use, health status, psychological health, and involvement in violence) have been used in other studies (Bhattacherjee et al, 2013;Chau et al, 2008Chau et al, , 2011Hibell et al, 2004;Kandel and Davies, 1982;Leplège et al, 2000;Mayet et al, 2011;Molcho et al, 2006;Raphael et al, 2005;Skevington et al, 2004;Swanh et al, 2012).

“…Although the majority of studies on depression have observed a significant association between depression and injury, one study did not find any such association, and some studies found that association existed among only men or women. Another study found that the strength of the association between depressive symptoms and risk of injury depended on the persistence of the symptoms 41) . Therefore, the mechanisms and causal links between burnout, health and injuries need to be further studied.…”

Occupational Burnout and Severe Injuries: An Eight‐year Prospective Cohort Study among Finnish Forest Industry Workers : Kirsi AHOLA, et al. Development of Work and Work Organizations, Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, Finland— Objectives Burnout is a psychological consequence of prolonged work stress. Studies have shown that it is related to physical and mental disorders. The safety outcomes of burnout have been studied to a lesser extent and only in the work context. This study explored the effect of burnout on future severe injuries regardless of their context. Methods A total of 10,062 forest industry employees (77% men, 63% manual workers) without previous injuries participated in 1996 or 2000 in the “Still Working” study examining the work‐related antecedents of health and mortality. Burnout was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory‐General Survey. Injuries leading to death or hospitalization were regarded as severe. We extracted such injuries from independent national registers. The relationship between burnout and new injuries was analyzed using Cox proportional regression. The analyses were adjusted for age, sex, marital status, and occupational status. Results There were 788 new injuries over eight years. Injuries were more common among male and manual workers. After adjustments, each one‐unit increase in the burnout score was related to a 9% increase in the risk of injury (95% confidence interval: 1.02−1.17). Experiencing symptoms at least monthly was related to a 1.18‐fold adjusted injury risk (95% CI: 1.02−1.36). Of the subscales of burnout, exhaustion and cynicism but not lack of professional efficacy predicted injuries after adjustments. Conclusions In addition to mental and physical disorders, burnout predicts severe injuries. Developing work conditions and optimizing workload may enhance safety and decrease health expenses related to all injuries.

“…Alteration in issues such as newsqol domains prompts concern about the future in terms of consequences of stroke, daily living activities, desire for improvement and fear of aggravation [9]. Some newsqol domains reflect depressive symptoms, which are associated with injury, disability and premature death [10,11]. One study reported a risk of depression after stroke [12].…”

BackgroundQuality of life (QoL) assessment is important when monitoring over time the recovery of stroke-survivors living at home. This study explores the associations between QoL and socioeconomic factors, functional impairments and self-reported dissatisfaction with received information and home-care services among survivors two years after stroke onset. This problem remains partially addressed though optimal information and services may improve survivors’ QoL.MethodsStroke-survivors admitted to all hospitals in Luxembourg 18 months or more previously were identified using the only care-expenditure-reimbursement national system database. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed. Ninety four patients aged 65 years and living at home were interviewed to gather socioeconomic characteristics, functional impairments, dissatisfaction with information and home-care services, and QoL (using the Newcastle Stroke-Specific QoL, newsqol) assessing 11 domains. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression models.ResultsAbout 50% of survivors had low education and lower income. Functional impairments were common: sensory (45%), motor (35%), memory (32%), language (31%), and vision (20%). Survivors with education (<12th grade) or lower income had low values for most newsqol domains (sex-age-adjusted regression coefficient saRC, i.e. mean difference, between -23 and -8). Patients who were working had better values for pain, mental feelings and sleep domains than did retired people (saRC between -3.9 and 4.2). Various functional impairments were associated with markedly low values of nearly all domains (saRC between -33.5 and -7.5) and motor, language, memory and sensory impairments had the highest impact. The survivors’ perceived QoL was markedly low, especially for the domains of interpersonal relationship, sleep, cognition, mental feelings, and pain. Various QoL domains were strongly related to dissatisfaction with information about stroke and its consequences/changes over time, accuracy of information obtained, help received, coordination between services, and the possibility of receiving help when necessary (saRC reaching -30).ConclusionsStroke-survivors had major alterations in QoL that reflected depressive symptoms, which should be appropriately treated. These findings may help with the development of public policies aiming at improving QoL among stroke survivors. The newsqol could be used routinely to measure the recovery of survivors over time and their needs in terms of information, help and care services.
