Abstract This qualitative study aimed to explore the psychological impact of the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on frontline healthcare professionals (HCPs) both in primary care and hospital emergency departments in Singapore, to understand (1) the experience of HCPs during the outbreak, the new challenges faced on the job, how they were affected psycho-socially, (2) the support received, and (3) the protective factors of psychological distress. Purposive sampling was used to identify frontline HCPs, and those in managerial positions leading clinical teams. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 39 participants from June to November 2020 via a video-conferencing platform, audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis using an inductive approach was conducted to elicit themes. We identified themes related to (i) the psychological impact they experienced, and (ii) the protective factors during this challenging period. In terms of psychological impact, work-related stressors such as physical burnout, loss of control and fear of infecting family were common themes. HCPs also experienced increased stress at home due to distancing measures they adhered to in order to protect their family. Themes related to psychological protective factors were also identified, such as resilience, team spirit, social support from peers, family and the public, and psychological readiness for the pandemic.

Abstract The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had deleterious effects on workers’ mental wellbeing. The current study investigated the impact of an online workplace wellness program on teacher mental wellbeing and mindfulness during the first four months of nation-wide quarantine in New Zealand. Longitudinal data at three time points were examined: baseline, end of program, and 3 months post-program in a sample of 32 teachers. Tests of paired data of baseline versus the later time points found statistically significant improvements in mental wellbeing (Warwick-Edinburg Mental Wellbeing Scale) and mindfulness (The Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire) with large effect sizes. Mindfulness scores were higher at 3 months follow up compared to end-of-program suggesting teachers’ mindfulness ratings continued to improve after program completion. Implications for research and workplace training are discussed.

Abstract Sustaining a mentally healthy workforce has become a priority as our labor market continues to age. However, few studies have evaluated the factors that contribute to older workers’ mental well-being or the role of older workers’ personal resources in the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory. This study investigates the role of perceived team leader equitable treatment and core self-evaluations (CSE) on older workers’ mental health by comparing with other age groups. We analyzed the responses of 271 American workers aged 50 and older using structural equation modeling and compared them with the responses of 284 middle-aged workers (35–49 years old) and 272 younger workers (under 34 years old). Results showed that CSE mediated the relationship between perceived team leader equitable treatment and mental health of all employees. CSE was a protective factor for mental health regardless of age. The findings highlight the importance of building CSE of all employees.

Abstract Research on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has clearly shown that healthcare workers experienced more mental health problems than the general public during the pandemic due to their role as care providers. However, less research attention has been paid to the predictors of poor mental health among frontline healthcare workers in the COVID-19 pandemic. This current study therefore aimed to bridge this gap by examining the influence of fear of COVID-19 on mental health outcomes (somatic symptoms, anxiety and insomnia, social dysfunction, and depression), and the moderating roles of emotion regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression) in this relationship. Data were collected from a sample of 81 (Males = 34; Females = 47) frontline healthcare workers in Ondo State, Nigeria via a web-based survey. Results of the study hierarchical regression analysis showed that fear of COVID-19 exacerbated mental health problems among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cognitive reappraisal was found to buffer the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and mental health outcomes. However, expressive suppression acted as an intensifier in the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and mental health outcomes. Therefore, these findings implicate the need for cognitive reappraisal training for healthcare workers in the present pandemic and future disease outbreak.

Abstract Intimate partner violence (IPV) disclosure at work is important, given that disclosure may reduce safety-related risks and allow for better management of workplace disruptions. In line with prior literature, we suggest that when there is more workplace occurrence of IPV and higher frequency of IPV, employees are more likely to disclose to their coworkers. We also theorize that the disclosure decision will depend on employees’ pay. While we expect employees with lower pay levels to be more likely to disclose in either case of increasing IPV workplace occurrences or IPV frequency, we hypothesize that highly paid employees will be especially reluctant to disclose due to the pressures associated with the ideal worker prototype and anticipatory stigma. We test our predictions using survey data from 350 workers across four organizations reporting IPV experiences. We predict and find support that highly paid workers are more likely to disclose when IPV is both high in frequency and occurring at work. Our research points to the importance of organizational hierarchies and individual pay in understanding workplace IPV disclosure decisions.

AbstractIn this study, we developed a scale to assess employee perceptions of the presence of workplace health promotion (WHP) programs within their organizational environment. After reviewing the literature and following the social-ecological model of health, 14 scale items were generated and initially tested with university staff and students. From these analyses and feedback from reviewers, six items were removed. The remaining eight items were completed by an independent sample of employees in various companies. A two-factor model fit the data well, assessing the perceived support provided by the organization, such as financial support for health improvements at work, and the strategic approach of the organization in addressing workplace health, such as holding meetings and training about improving health. The sub-scales and total score were found to be internally consistent/reliable (α = 0.85 and 0.79, respectively), and correlated significantly with a work performance measure in one of the samples. The new Workplace Health Promotion Perception (WHPP) scale demonstrates initially sound measurement properties for use in organizations, although further research is suggested, and examples provided.Keywords: Health and safetyhealth cultureworkplace Ethical approvalThe study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and approved by the Institutional Review Board (or Ethics Committee) of Sinop University Ethics approval date and number: 30-2020.
