“…We also found that receiving respect from one's employer may also encourage disclosure. These findings point to psychosocial work environment factors as important determinants of disclosure, which is consistent with previous studies [9,10]. Despite the potential benefits of disclosing diabetes, an employee might fear, for whatever reason, that disclosure of diabetes may have unwanted consequences.…”

“…To our knowledge, this is the first study to explore disclosure among workers with Type 2 diabetes with a large sample size. Factors that we have identified as being associated with disclosure are consistent with results in studies among people with Type 1 diabetes and chronic illness in general . Further prospective studies are required to explore the impact of psychosocial work environment on the disclosure of Type 2 diabetes and to determine the relative pros and cons of disclosing a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes at work.…”

Aim To explore factors associated with non‐disclosure of Type 2 diabetes to employers among Danish workers with Type 2 diabetes. Methods A total of 705 workers with Type 2 diabetes completed a Danish cross‐sectional survey. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the associations between background characteristics and probability of non‐disclosure of diabetes to the employer. The models were mutually adjusted for background characteristics, socioeconomic‐, diabetes‐ and work‐related factors. Results Among the participants, 23% had not disclosed their Type 2 diabetes to their current employer. Non‐disclosure was associated with more sickness absence, more years with diabetes, greater use of diabetic medication, higher educational level and a perception of not being respected by superior. Personal traits such as gender, age and well‐being were not associated with disclosure. Conclusions Among the feasible targets for interventions, good psychosocial work environment was associated with disclosure.

“…On balance, the review showed that disclosure decisions were often precipitated by the climate of the organization. Perceptions that one's organization was supportive predicted disclosure among gay and lesbian employees (Griffith & Hebl, 200l; Ragins & Cornwell, ; Ragins et al, ; Reed & Leuty, ), employees with diabetes (Hakkarainen, Moilanen, Hänninen, Räsänen, & Munir, ), and employees with childhood cancer survivorship (Martinez & Hebl, ).…”

Disclosure of stigmatized identities at work: An interdisciplinary review and agenda for future research

Summary This review focuses on the disclosure decisions faced by employees with concealable stigmatized identities—one of the most challenging decisions these individuals must make on a day‐to‐day basis. Indeed, multiple theoretical frameworks have provided a foundation for understanding the antecedents and outcomes associated with the decision to disclose or not to disclose a stigmatized identity. What is less clear, however, is the extent to which these frameworks have been empirically supported. This systematic review serves to unify the extant literature and prompt continued research related to employees with concealable stigmatized identities. Specifically, we draw upon multiple fields of study, including applied psychology, management, social psychology, and occupational health as a means to systematically synthesize the existing empirical research related to disclosure of stigmatized identities at work. In addition to advancing the scholarly knowledge of disclosure, this review also provides practical utility to organizations as they continue to create work environments that foster inclusion of all stigmatized and nonstigmatized employees.

Takie postępowanie ułatwia otrzymanie wsparcia społecznego i uzyskanie lepszych możliwości kontroli glikemii w miejscu pracy [39].…”

In this article the authors attempted to analyze the arguments for considering diabetes as a work-related disease. An overview of literature has been done out of articles published in the years 1980-2016, with the use of combination of key words referring to employment, workplace, and diabetes. The PubMed database was the source of data. The authors indicate that the following arguments are in favor of diabetes being recognized as a work-related disease: diabetes is not an occupational disease, it is not directly related to the work environment or the way the work is performed, but there are observed adverse effects of occupational work-related nuisances, such as night shift work, long work hours, job strain or workplace standing time, which influence its development and course. The number of publications on diabetes, including the problem of occupational work is comparable to the number of analogous publications concerning work-related diseases such as hypertension or ischemic heart disease. Moreover, some aspects of professional activity and diabetes were also included in clinical recommendations for the workplace, which is uncommon in the case of other diseases, even those generally recognized as work-related. Data from medical references, indicating the effectiveness of workplace interventions aimed at preventing diabetes development and/or worsening of its course should be considered as an argument for the inclusion of diabetes into the group of work-related diseases. This should also support the need for further research and practical actions aimed at preventing diabetes at the workplace. Med Pr 2017;68(5):667-675.
