Identifying work ability promoting factors for home care aides and assistant nurses

Abstract: BackgroundIn workplace health promotion, all potential resources needs to be taken into consideration, not only factors relating to the absence of injury and the physical health of the workers, but also psychological aspects. A dynamic balance between the resources of the individual employees and the demands of work is an important prerequisite. In the home care services, there is a noticeable trend towards increased psychosocial strain on employees at work. There are a high frequency of work-related musculosk… Show more

“…Another important consideration to mention is that knee symptoms, severity, and pain on the contralateral knee have the potential to influence mobility, physical activity levels, and body weight. Previous estimates suggest that 80% of patients will develop bilateral osteoarthritis [39], so it is likely that many of the patients who had a primary knee replacement will need another knee replacement on the contralateral knee sometime in their lifetime. While we attempted to control for factors relating to both knees, symptoms in the contralateral knee may be playing a role in the determination of body weight especially in the post-operative interval.…”

“…Adequate teaching resources are currently unavailable for patients with gout (16). Studies document provider knowledge gaps about gout management (25, 16), and inadequate gout patient self-management knowledge (2,3,5,7,17,18). Online resources and mobile applications are not presently sufficient to provide all the education and monitoring needed by gout patients (1920).…”

“…Anecdotal comments provided to researchers for nonparticipation included the complexity of consent form required by the ethics committee, DSW concerns about consequences for their jobs if they raised safety concerns despite reassurances in project information sheets, and fatigue associated with shift work. A possible bias in samples of this kind may occur because workers who perceive a higher commitment to good health and safety practices may be more inclined to participate (Larsson, Karlqvist, Westerberg, & Gard, 2012). The cross-sectional nature of the investigation also meant that causality between factors could not be determined.…”
