Abstract Purpose is to investigate and compare professional quality of life (ProQoL) among health care providers (HCPs) in cystic fibrosis (CF) ambulances and inpatient clinic for child and adolescent psychiatry. The ProQoL R-IV Inventory was administered to 96 HCPs to investigate: compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress (STS). HCPs in CF centers and inpatient psychiatry did not differ in their ProQoL. However, the occupational groups differed regarding STS (F(3,92)=3.726, p=.01). Physicians reported more STS than other groups. Longer work experience was associated with more STS (r=-0.21, p=.04). Regular screening should be put in place to identify HCPs at risk of decreased ProQoL.

Abstract The aim of this cross-sectional study was to measure the psychometric properties of the Persian version of Anticipated Turnover Scale (P-ATS) using a large sample of workers in the oil industry in Iran (N = 443). The psychometric properties of the scale were assessed using face, content, convergent, and construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability methods. A two-factor solution emerged from exploratory then confirmatory factor analyses. Content validity index and ratio were .93 and .98, respectively. There were high significant correlations between P-ATS and both perceived stress and workability. The Cronbach’s alpha was .90 and test-retest correlation coefficient was .87. The P-ATS exhibited very good psychometric properties and can be applied as a useful tool to predict job turnover among Iranian employees.

Abstract Role identity theory describes the beneficial effects on health as a result of the purpose and meaning from occupying social roles. Amid high rates of mental illness among paramedics, we surveyed 589 (97%) paramedics from a single site in Ontario, Canada and evaluated for relationships between four dimensions of a previously validated paramedic role identity scale and symptoms of various mental disorders. Although we did not observe a relationship between role identity and mental disorder symptoms, we note with interest various differences in paramedic role identity across demographic categories that challenge previous characterizations of the profession and warrant further investigation.

Abstract Over a 2-year period, patients at a rural community health center in Vermont were screened on-site for multiple behavioral health risk factors and, if found at risk, were offered no-cost counseling on-site at the health center. The treatment was delivered by two licensed employee assistance program (EAP) counselors highly proficient in an evidence-based motivational interviewing approach. Longitudinal data at four time points were examined: baseline; end of treatment (3 months); and 3 and 6 months post-treatment. Tests of paired data of baseline versus each later time point found significant improvement for global health (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System [PROMIS]-10) in the total sample (N = 120); depression symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item scale [PHQ-9]) among a subsample with depression as a clinical issue (n = 68); and work presenteeism and estimated hours of lost work time among the employed subsample (n = 46). Improvement in global health was significantly associated with improvement (reductions) in hours of lost work productivity at all later times (r = .33, .35, .50). Improvement in global health was moderated by level of household income (more improvement among patients with lower income levels), but not by clinical or demographic factors. Practical implications for behavioral health screening and intervention (BSI) in medical settings and onsite EAP counseling programs are discussed.

Abstract The working conditions observed in public administration organizations have deleterious effects on the psychological well-being of employees. Professional resources can predict the relationship between job demands and psychological well-being. The aim of this article is to determine the impact of job demands on the psychological well-being of civil servants and the mediating role of perceived organizational support (POS) in Gabon’s public administration. Currently, Gabon’s public administration is undergoing organizational changes through the introduction of professional technologies. Studies have predominantly focused on job satisfaction and national culture. These studies have provided little information on the influence of organizational changes, demands and resources on the well-being of public servants in this country. It was therefore important to understand the factors related to the psychological well-being of civil servants. A questionnaire survey plan was drawn up with 162 participants from one of the country’s major public institutions. Correlation, regression and mediation analyses were conducted to determine the relationships between the variables. The results revealed that job demands significantly predicted psychological well-being. It was also found that the impact of job demands on psychological well-being was fully mediated by POS. According to these results, POS plays a mediating role in the relationship between job demands and psychological well-being. We conclude that interventions that strengthen organizational support could help civil servants cope with the pressures of working conditions in their administrations.

Abstract The objective of the present study was to determine the antecedents of workaholism. To attain the main objective, a systematic review was conducted that was further supplemented with the meta-analytic data. Additionally, attempts were made to separate the precursors of both workaholism and work addiction in our study. Four online databases were used to search for articles. Thirty-three articles published during the period between 2008 and 2019 were included. The results of the systematic review revealed that perfectionism, extrinsic work motivation and job demands (workload, interpersonal conflicts and role conflict at work) were the most important factors leading to the increased levels of workaholism. When conducting meta-analytic calculations, variables of neuroticism, openness and conscientiousness gave significant effects. The results of both the systematic review and meta-analysis correspond to the idea that the etiologic pathway to work addiction may differ from that leading to workaholism on account of the role of certain personality traits (such as neuroticism).

Abstract Job-related stress may affect smoking initiation, progression, and intensity, therefore, it is important to have a better understanding of these associations to design targeted and effective workplace cessation programs. In this study, we aimed to synthesize existing literature concerning the relationship between job-related stress and tobacco use among adult workers (18 years and older). We searched articles indexed in six major databases (Scopus, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, EBSCO, and Ovid) between 1997 and March 2020. We included cross-sectional and cohort studies published in English that examined self-reported smoking status or change in smoking status as exposure variables, and job-related status as the outcome variable consistent with the Demand Control Support and Effort-Reward Imbalance models. We searched the databases using combinations of keywords including “occupational stress,” or “job stress” or “work stress” or “job strain” and “smoking” or “tobacco use” or “tobacco consumption” or “cigarettes.” Of 906 identified articles, 19 (n = 240,787 participants) were included in this review. Findings showed no clear association between job-related stress and smoking status (smoking vs nonsmoking) and smoking cessation. However, the findings suggest an association between job-related stress and changing smoking habits, toward heavier smoking. Our findings indicate that job-related stress may lead to increased smoking intensity.
摘要与工作相关的压力可能会影响吸烟的开始、发展和强度，因此，更好地了解这些关联对于设计有针对性和有效的工作场所戒烟计划很重要。在这项研究中，我们旨在综合现有的关于成年工人中与工作相关的压力与吸烟之间关系的文献（18 岁及以上）。我们搜索了1997年至2020年3月期间在六个主要数据库（Scopus、PubMed、Embase、Web of Science、EBSCO和Ovid）中索引的文章。我们纳入了以英语发表的横断面和队列研究，这些研究将自我报告的吸烟状态或吸烟状态的变化作为暴露变量，将工作相关状态作为结果变量，与需求控制支持和努力-回报失衡模型相一致。我们使用关键词组合搜索数据库，包括“职业压力”、“工作压力”、《工作压力》、“工作紧张”、“吸烟”、“使用烟草”、“烟草消费”或“香烟” = 240787名参与者）。研究结果显示，与工作相关的压力与吸烟状况（吸烟与不吸烟）和戒烟之间没有明确的联系。然而，研究结果表明，与工作相关的压力与吸烟习惯的改变之间存在关联，吸烟量更大。我们的研究结果表明，与工作相关的压力可能会导致吸烟强度增加。

Abstract COVID-19 has rapidly spread worldwide, with more than 136 million people infected. In this scenario, healthcare workers are among the professionals most at risk to experience burnout and other psychological symptoms. One-hundred-twenty healthcare professionals completed a survey, designed to measure different aspects of participants’ working conditions and psychological response to the pandemic. Participants’ burnout was positively and significantly predicted by work stress, workload and exposure to patients exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms and negatively predicted by organizational support, work engagement and by the adoption of adequate coping strategies. Furthermore, our findings revealed that the higher work stress, the more psychological symptoms were experienced by participants. In conclusion, these findings highlight the importance of considering work-related conditions and individual psychological variables to promptly support healthcare personnel during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Abstract Chevron’s internal Employee Assistance Program and WorkLife Services (EAP/WL) group is comprised of a team of 12 advisors who provide on-site mental health and worklife support for employees, dependents, and retirees across the enterprise. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, EAP/WL implemented a virtual support group for the first time this year for nursing mothers. The program helps to meet the organizational need within the company, by providing a program that addresses the emotional needs of nursing mothers. The sessions were moderated by an internationally board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) with support from two employees: (1) a licensed mental health professional and (2) a worklife advisor. The employees were available to address any emotional and psychologically-related concerns raised by mothers during the monthly discussions. Strategies and best practices for developing a virtual support group for employees are described in this article. Sharing this program may assist other employers in implementing a similar program in support of their employees.
