Working Time Characteristics and Mental Health among Corrections and Transportation Workers

Abstract: Objectives Mental health disorders are a leading cause of work disability and while the psychosocial workplace environment plays a critical role, working time characteristics are also implicated. We sought to examine the association between working time characteristics and mental health in a cohort of two unionized, full-time worker populations, correctional supervisors, and transportation maintainers. Methods Using a cross-s… Show more

“…Resiliency ( n = 3) [ 8 , 75 , 108 ] was associated with lower secondary traumatic stress in PSP populations [ 75 ]. Finally, good physical health ( n = 3) [ 43 , 76 , 85 ], race ( n = 3) [ 71 , 82 , 106 ], and social support ( n = 3) [ 18 , 29 , 101 ] were other identified positive factors.…”

“…Exposure to critical incidents [ 5 , 19 , 22 , 24 , 35 , 37 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 52 , 53 , 64 , 67 , 71 , 78 , 82 , 89 , 90 , 92 , 103 , 104 ] was the most frequently cited negative operational factor, included in 21 studies. High workload [ 8 , 19 , 29 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 36 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 57 , 59 , 66 , 70 , 73 , 74 , 80 , 96 , 98 ] was the second most frequently cited negative operational factor ( n = 20). Thirteen articles identified threats or risk of violence [ 41 , 44 , 45 , 50 , 66 , 69 , 70 , 76 , 77 , 81 , ...…”

“…The effect of overtime on well-being is supported by research with corrections workers showing that long hours (>48 hours weekly) are associated with musculoskeletal symptoms, 91 and that work intensity (working 6+ days in a row) is associated with work burnout, likely due to prolonged physical and psychosocial work exposures and insufficient recovery during non-work time. 92 Further, extended and irregular work hours pose barriers to physical and emotional health, social well-being (ie, family, leisure, community participation), and health behaviors (ie, sleep, nutrition, exercise, weight management). 93 Opportunities to work overtime are well compensated and therefore competitively pursued; however there remains a deficient understanding of the root causes of sacrificing health to maximize earnings (particularly among lieutenants).…”
