“…Wilczek-Ru życzka and Zaczyk conducted a meta-analysis of studies on occupational burnout among Polish nurses conducted with the use of the MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory) tool, where they showed that the level of occupational burnout in Polish nurses is average. The results from the LBQ questionnaire in this study are within the range of the overall mean score, as in the studies of other authors, where most of the respondents indicated the average score of occupational burnout, i.e., the risk of symptoms [5].…”

“…Work in the surgical ward requires from nurses: physical strength, mental resistance, constant concentration and the ability to make quick decisions [ 3 ].

The problem of rationing nursing care is common and present all over the world, which is a direct threat to the health and life of patients. The aim of the study was to assess the level of rationing care, fatigue, job satisfaction and occupational burnout and to assess the relationship between them and age, length of service and the number of jobs. A survey was performed among 130 Polish nurses in urology departments using the following questionnaires: Link Burnout Questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Scale, Nursing Care Rationing Scale and Modified Fatigue Impact Scale. Nursing care is rarely rationed—1.11 points; the experience of fatigue ranges between sometimes and often—52.58 points; and job satisfaction is at an average level—17.23 points. The level of rationing nursing care in urology departments is similar to that in other departments. This requires minor changes to the work of nurses to reduce the workload. Employers should develop implementation programs for young workers in order to avoid burnout and also invest in factors increasing nurses’ satisfaction, such as the atmosphere at work.

“…Similarly, job demands, such as emotional demands, are associated with sickness absence [ 63 ], and bullying is associated with stress and anxiety [ 64 ]. Emotional demands are also a predictor of burnout and negative job efficiency [ 65 ] as well as the intention to leave the nursing profession [ 66 ].…”

Job demands, job resources, and health outcomes among nursing professionals in private and public healthcare sectors in Sweden – a prospective study

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Nursing professionals exhibit high prevalence of stress-related health problems. Job demands and job resources are parallel drivers of health and well-being among employees. Better job resources associate with better job satisfaction, job motivation and engagement even when job demands are high. To date, there is limited research which explores the association between job demands, job resources and health outcomes among nursing professionals in the Swedish context. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate Swedish nursing professionals’ job demands and job resources in relation to health outcomes, with comparisons between the private and public healthcare sectors. The specific research questions were as follows: (1) Are there differences between private and public healthcare regarding job demands, job resources, and health outcomes? and (2) Are there prospective associations between job demands and job resources in relation to health outcomes? Methods Data were drawn from the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health (SLOSH) 2016 and 2018, including 520 nurses and 544 assistant nurses working in the private and public healthcare sectors from 2016 (baseline). Data were analyzed using binary logistic regression. Results Nursing professionals reported higher threats, lower bullying, lower control, lower social support, and lower cohesion in the public healthcare units compared to the private healthcare units. The prospective analyses showed that job resources in terms of social support and rewards were associated with higher self-rated health and lower burnout. Cohesion was associated with higher self-rated health. Job demands in terms of psychological demands and job efforts were associated with lower self-rated health, higher burnout, and higher sickness absence, while emotional demands were associated with higher burnout. Conclusions Nursing professionals’ job resources are deficient in public healthcare units. Job resources are associated with positive health outcomes, whereas job demands are associated with negative health outcomes, among nursing professionals. Strengthening job resources among nursing professionals in the private and public healthcare sectors can promote and sustain their work-related health.

“…The literature refers us to the importance of the leader’s role, his/her ability to be attentive to the professionals’ needs, the respect for each worker’s limitations, adapting them to activities compatible with their work capacity [ 35 ], thus, with justification for adapting work to less serious health problems [ 36 ] and it is therefore important to support the redistribution of workloads and team planning [ 35 , 37 ]. Alertness is needed to prevent an insidious long-term deterioration in the health of the majority of the workforce, especially given the current COVID-19 pandemic context [ 36 ].…”

The relationship between presenteeism, quality of life and social support in higher education professionals: A cross-sectional path analysis

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Presenteeism is the practice of being present at workplace, but not being able to carry out all the tasks due to health problems. Social support globally associated with health and wellbeing might positively influence presenteeism and consequently, the quality of life of these professionals. With this in mind, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between presenteeism, quality of life and social support in the work of non-teaching and non-research professionals within the context of higher education. A cross-sectional study was conducted, in which sociodemographic data were collected and the Portuguese versions of the Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS-6) (which includes the dimensions work-completed and distraction avoided) and Quality of Life Index (EUROSHIS-QOL-8) and the subscales of Supervisor’s Social Support and Peers’ Social Support of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) were used. The questionnaire was applied online, and 322 professionals from a public university higher education institution in Northern Portugal participated in the study. Presenteeism was reported by 97 (30.1%) professionals. The peers’ social support was positively associated with quality of life. The supervisor’s social support was positively associated with distraction avoided and work completed and positively indirectly associated with quality of life, and the association was mediated by distraction avoided. We conclude that implementing strategies that can promote social support in the work context, namely strengthening networks between colleagues and competent and well-trained supervisors may prevent or reduce presenteeism in higher education professionals, as well as, provide a better quality of life.
