“…33,45,46 The requirement for public and occupational health strategies to reduce and manage chronic pain is becoming increasingly important as the workforce is continuing to grow older, becoming more susceptible to health issues. 47,48 Our study shows the negative association between pain and psychosocial factors in the workplace. The incorporation of campaigns that promote a work culture for handling pain could be of great benefit; helping to accommodate employees who struggle with pain and provide opportunities for trustful communication concerning employee health and possibilities for workplace adjustment.…”

“…There is much literature that endorses the value of such strategies. 41 , 49–52 For instance, employers report several advantages of accommodating employees with chronic health problems, with social inclusion having a positive effect on both productivity levels and employee health. 53 Similarly, good leadership and a friendly social environment have been linked with enhanced productivity levels.…”

Background and Aims : Much is known about the impact of pain in terms of medical costs and missed work. Less is known about its associations when individuals are present for work. This study examines “presenteeism” by analyzing the psychosocial costs of pain in the workplace, using the 2015 European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS). Methods : We conducted cross-sectional analysis of 2384 individuals with chronic pain and 2263 individuals without pain (matched by age and sex) using data from the 2015 EWCS. We compared groups in terms of the following psychosocial factors: supervisor support, job responsibility, team cohesion, discrimination, threats/abuse, job competency, job reward, sexual harassment, stress, and job security. The groups were also compared in terms of days lost due to illness. Results : People with pain were 64% less likely to view their job as rewarding (odds ratio [OR] = 0.61; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.57–0.65), 47% more likely to be subjected to threats/abuse in the workplace (OR = 0.68; 95% CI, 0.63–0.73), 30% more likely to report poor supervisor support (OR = 0.77; 95% CI, 0.73–0.82), and 28% more likely to perceive discrimination in the workplace (OR = 0.78; 95% CI, 0.71–0.85). People with pain missed approximately nine more days of work per year than respondents without pain. Conclusions : Chronic pain was associated with lower vocational fulfillment and feelings of being ostracized in the workplace. These findings suggest that the presence of pain in the workplace goes well beyond lost productivity due to absenteeism.

“…Finally, preventive measures adapted to age were recommended. In contrast, other authors [ 26 ] determined that older workers experience fewer musculoskeletal injuries than younger workers due to greater skill and experience in the tasks they perform, but that when injuries do occur, they are more severe so recovery time is longer. Regarding the incidence of injuries by sharpshoot material [ 27 ], these injuries were found to occur more frequently among young nurses.…”

Introduction: Nursing professionals face a multitude of daily occupational hazards that can cause occupational accidents. AIM: The objective of this work is to analyze the personal variables included in official accident reports, to evaluate their influence on occupational accidents suffered by nursing and nursing assistant professionals. Methodology: A total of 187,821 occupational accidents recorded in Spain from 2011 to 2019 were analyzed in the sector using contingency tables, chi-square, and corrected standardized residuals. Results: The results showed that the older the professional, the probability that once the accident had occurred, its severity would be more serious. Regarding gender, men are more likely to suffer more serious accidents compared to accidents registered by women. Results about the length of service and nationality did not reach statistical significance in the group of accidents analyzed. Conclusions: The planning of preventive measures must be adapted to the profiles of the workers in the most vulnerable sector.

Objectives The objectives of this study were to estimate prevalence of low back pain, to investigate associations between low back pain and a set of emerging workplace risk factors and to identify worker groups with an increased vulnerability for low back pain in the US. Methods The data used for this study came from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), which was designed to collect data on health conditions and related risk factors obtained from the US civilian population. The variance estimation method was used to compute weighted data for prevalence of low back pain. Multivariable logistic regression analyses stratified by sex and age were performed to determine the odds ratios (ORs) and the 95% Confidence Interval (CI) for low back pain. The examined work-related psychosocial risk factors included work-family imbalance, exposure to a hostile work environment and job insecurity. Work hours, occupation and other work organizational factors (non-standard work arrangements and alternative shifts) were also examined. Results The prevalence rate of self-reported low back pain in previous three months among workers in the U.S. was 25.7% in 2010. Female or older workers were at increased risk of experiencing low back pain. We found significant associations between low back pain and a set of psychosocial factors, including work-family imbalance (OR 1.27, CI 1.15–1.41), exposure to hostile work (OR 1.39, CI 1.25–1.55), and job insecurity (OR 1.44, CI 1.24–1.67), while controlling for demographic characteristics and other health related factors. Older workers who had non-standard work arrangements were more likely to report low back pain. Females who worked 41–45 hours per week and younger workers who worked over 60 hours per week had an increased risk for low back pain. Workers from several occupation groups, including, male healthcare practitioners, female and younger healthcare support workers, and female farming, fishing and forestry workers had an increased risk of low back pain. Conclusions This study linked low back pain to work-family imbalance, exposure to a hostile work environment, job insecurity, long work hours and certain occupation groups. These factors should be considered by employers, policy makers, and healthcare practitioners who are concerned about the impact of low back pain in workers.
