“…While the Chinese health industry’s salary and welfare levels still need to be improved ( 41 ). Some studies have confirmed that the disparity between investment and return is a significant factor influencing occupational stress ( 42 ). As a result, health care managers can implement a scientific performance appraisal and salary distribution system to try to achieve a balance between effort and reward, reduce occupational stress among primary health care workers, and relieve cumulative fatigue.…”

IntroductionThe association between long working hours and cumulative fatigue is widely acknowledged in the literature. However, there are few studies on the mediating effect of working hours on cumulative fatigue using occupational stress as a mediating variable. The present study aimed at investigating the mediating role of occupational stress in the relationship between working hours and cumulative fatigue in a sample of 1,327 primary health care professionals.MethodsThe Core Occupational Stress Scale and the Workers’ Fatigue Accumulation Self-Diagnosis Scale were utilized in this study. The mediating effect of occupational stress was examined using hierarchical regression analysis and the Bootstrap test.ResultsWorking hours were positively associated with cumulative fatigue via occupational stress (p < 0.01). Occupational stress was found to partially mediate the relationship between working hours and cumulative fatigue, with a mediating effect of 0.078 (95% CI: 0.043–0.115, p < 0.01), and the percentage of occupational stress mediating effect was 28.3%.DiscussionWorking hours can be associated with cumulative fatigue either directly or indirectly via occupational stress. As a result, by reducing occupational stress, primary health care professionals may reduce the cumulative fatigue symptoms caused by long hours of work.

“…A number of authors point to the psychological burden posed to police officers during their work [ 53 , 54 ]. Mental workload must not be underestimated, as it may affect the police even after work [ 6 , 55 , 56 ]. Its underestimation can lead in the long run to burnout syndrome or other mental problems that negatively affect his or her quality of life [ 57 , 58 ].…”

“…The municipal police agencies perform tasks only in a defined territory, so their competence is not nationwide. Their police activity is converging to the police activity performed by the Police Force, as is the case in many member states of the European Union [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. On the contrary, some member states of the European Union do not use the services of the municipal police in their metropolises [ 7 ].…”

The municipal police agencies increase the safety of a municipality’s citizens and thus increase their quality of life. When performing interventions, municipal police officers may endanger their safety and health. This paper deals with the analysis of the riskiness of municipal police officers working in the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic from 2004 to 2019 and the assessment of their occupational safety. The risk analysis was carried out on the basis of a risk matrix and calculations of the probability of attack and injury to municipal police officers. Using the Pearson correlation coefficient, the dependence between the selected variables was investigated. The reliability of this dependence was examined by the determination coefficient. The main result of the paper is the determination of the riskiness category of municipal police officer work based on the assessment of the occupational health protection of officers through statistical indicators of their activities and risk matrix. The results will serve as part of the explanatory memorandum for the proposal of legislative changes in order to increase the occupational health protection of municipal police officers.

“…Job stress in police officers and its consequences is attracting the attention of the scientific community both from a descriptive and preventive perspective, as well as from the point of view of intervention (Baek et al, 2021;Bhowmick and Mulla, 2021;Foley and Massey, 2021;Luceño-Moreno et al, 2021;Márquez et al, 2021). Guaranteeing fundamental rights, optimising citizen security, and protecting private property are activities that require considerable psychological effort on the part of police officers.…”

Work stress has been identified as a critical factor affecting mental health in police officers. Psychosocial factors increase the impact of work stress on police officers and, in the long run, contribute to the onset of burnout symptoms. In this research a sample of 323 was studied to study the relationship between psychosocial risk factors and the probability of suffering burnout symptoms. The participant’s answers to the MBI-GS and F-PSICO (version 4.0) were analysed by using network analysis. The results show that psychosocial risk factors are strongly associated in network models when higher level of cynicism and emotional exhaustion are observed. Additionally, higher levels of burnout in police officers were observed when lower autonomy, higher psychological demands, role ambiguities and a lower perceived social support were present. Results are discussed considering its theoretical and applied relevance to design healthier work environments and efficient psychological interventions. El estrés laboral crónico ha sido identificado como uno de los riesgos laborales más importantes que afecta a la salud mental de los agentes de policía. Existen ciertos factores psicosociales que incrementan el estrés laboral en la policía y que, a largo plazo, desencadenan síntomas compatibles con el burnout. En este trabajo se ha utilizado una muestra integrada por 323 policías para valorar la relación que se establece entre los factores psicosociales de riesgo y la probabilidad de experimentar síntomas compatibles con el burnout. Las respuestas de los participantes al MBI-GS y al F-PSICO (versión 4.0) fueron examinadas utilizando análisis de redes. Los resultados muestran que existen redes de factores psicosociales de riesgo más cohesionadas cuando los niveles de cinismo y agotamiento emocional son más elevados. Además, se observa mayor nivel de burnout asociados con una baja autonomía, altas demandas psicológicas, conflictos en el desempeño de rol y un bajo apoyo social percibido. Los resultados son discutidos en términos de su implicación teórica y de su utilidad práctica frente al diseño de entornos de trabajo más saludables, así como frente a la intervención psicológica.
