“…Such problem might be stressed by the taxi drivers urinary bad habits, enhanced by a 12 hour a day working time, with only 2 day off days weekly and only 15 days of holiday yearly due to the established working timetable by the local City administration. Indeed, night workers have higher OAB burden, as reported by De Nunzio et al in 2021 [10]. Moreover, higher BMI is another risk factor for troublesome OAB as con rmed in different studies and as it emerge from our multivariate analysis [22,23].…”

“…LUTS can lead to emotional distress, reduced quality of life, disruptions in daily activities, and decreased work performance. Several studies have evaluated the possible role of different works, shifts and vacation on urinary symptoms underlying the importance of jobs and job conditions on LUTS [10]. In particular studies on nurses have underlined the importance of work conditions on the development of LUTS [11,12].…”

Aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of LUTS in taxi drivers. MethodsBetween February 24 th 2021 and March 26 th 2021 a web based survey was administered to Taxi drivers in the city of Florence. Taxi drivers were evaluated with baseline characteristics such as: age, BMI, smoking, career length, comorbidities, and treatment. LUTS were evaluated using the international prostate symptom score (IPSS) and the Overactive Bladder (OAB) score. As well sexual function was evaluated using the International Index Erectile Function (IIEF) and FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index) questionnaires. Risk factors for LUTS were evaluated using regression analysis. ResultsThe overall response rate was 64.6% (537/830 taxi drivers lled the questionnaires). Among them, 449 (83.6%) were men and 88 (16.4%) females. Overall, median IPSS was 5 (2/9) and median OAB score was 10 (7/14). On multivariate binary regression analysis age>50 (OR:1.60; p<0,05), Smoking (OR:1.57; p<0,05), chronic treatment (OR:1.57; p<0,05), recurrent cystitis (OR: 2.66; p<0,05) and chronic pelvic pain (OR:4.94; p<0,05) were independent risk factors for moderate/severe LUTS. On multivariate binary logistic regression analysis, risk factors for erectile dysfunction were age older than 50 years (OR=3.64; p<0.05) and urinary incontinence (OR=5.53; p0.005). ConclusionsAccording to our web-based survey, Taxi drivers in the metropolitan city of Florence had non-negligible symptomatic LUTS and even sexual dysfunction. Our data suggest as LUTS are particular in uenced by several life style and behavioural factors as type and duration of work.

“…11 Female nurses who experienced night shifts demonstrated higher scores on LUTS. 12 Nurses also suffer from subjective nursing workloads, of which, stress was the most common one. 13 Stress was theoretically taken as a contributor to LUTS, 14 and the empirical evidence demonstrated that higher occupational stress would increase the odds of experiencing LUTS in female nurses.…”

Study Need and Importance: A healthy nursing workforce is the cornerstone of advancing global health, whereas lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are a challenge to the healthy nursing workforce. Female nurses are more susceptible to LUTS than women in general, and this should be attributed to their demanding working environment. Nurses confront various objective and subjective nursing workloads in clinical settings, but less is known about how nursing workloads influence their LUTS. To address this research gap, this work tested the mediating role of a frequently observed behavior in nurses, delayed voiding behaviors, on the relationships between nursing workloads and their LUTS. What We Found: Data from 13,191 female nurses were analyzed, and their median age was 31 years (IQR 27-37). More than half (51%) of the nurses had LUTS; urinary urgency (26%) and stress urinary incontinence (18%) were the most common LUTS. Delayed voiding behaviors significantly mediated the relationships between nursing workloads and LUTS. Specifically, after adding delayed voiding behaviors into the model, the direct effects of objective nursing workloads (ie, working environment, working hours, and working schedule) on LUTS became nonsignificant, but the direct effect of the subjective nursing workload (ie, perceived stress) on LUTS remained significant (Figure). Limitations: This study was designed with the assumption that nurses work in a demanding working environment that has detrimental effects on their health, so the resources in the working environment that may benefit the individuals were not considered. Also, the working schedule might include multiple parameters but was simplified as night shifts in this study. Interpretation for Patient Care: Strategies tailored to delayed voiding behaviors would bring benefits for nurses' bladder health, and they may synergize stress-reducing strategies to help develop a healthy nursing workforce.
