Examining the association between rotating shift work (≥3 nights/month plus days and evenings) and Type 2 diabetes among 177,000 female nurses aged 25–67 (the Nurses' Health Study), this large-scale study revealed a graded association between the duration of working life the nurses had been engaged in shift work and risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. Compared with women who reported no shift work, participants with 1–2 years of shift work had a 5% excess risk of T2D, rising to 20% after 3–9 years, 40% after 10–19 years, and almost 60% for ≥20 years. These data...
One conclusion from the EU-OSHA economic incentives project is that incentives schemes should not only reward past results of good OSH management (such as accident numbers in experience rating), but should also reward specific prevention efforts that aim to reduce future accidents and ill-health. Experts from the economic incentives project therefore suggested the development of compilations of innovative and evidence-based preventive solutions, starting with the three sectors construction, health care and HORECA (hotels, restaurants, catering). The preventive measures from these compilations are...
L’ANSP a fait appel à l’Anact pour améliorer la qualité de service des structures et les conditions de travail des salarié(e)s du secteur des services à la personne. La revue Travail & Changement propose un dossier spécial sur le secteur des services à la personne. Ce numéro livre donc des pistes pour améliorer les conditions de travail dans les 25000 structures, publiques ou privées, dont les tailles, domaines d’intervention, organisations diffèrent, mais dont la problématique essentielle...
Creating non-violent and supportive health-care workplaces might help prevent prolonged work absences among nurses. This is the upshot of a new study from the Institute for Work & Health. With the health-care sector having the highest rate of lost-time claims and work absence in the country, disability managers in Canada's health-care organizations may want to join forces with their counterparts in human resources to implement violence prevention and respectful workplace programs. A new study from the Institute for Work & Health (IWH) shows that emotional and physical abuse at work...
Le dernier rapport de l’Observatoire national des violences en milieu hospitalier (ONVH) montre que les professionnels de santé sont en souffrance : les agressions et incivilités à leur encontre sont en constante augmentation : 2690 faits signalés en 2006, 5090 faits signalés en 2010. La violence impacte sur les conditions de travail du personnel des établissements de santé et contribue à réduire leur bien-être au travail.

L'objectif de cette étude est d'estimer l'impact de certaines conditions de travail sur des indicateurs de dépenses de santé et de mesurer l'effet agrégé sur les dépenses de santé de la collectivité. Cette analyse empirique repose sur un échantillon de salariés âgés de 18 à 65 ans ; ces données sont issues de l'enquête Santé 2002-2003. Publié par l'IRDES (Institut de recherche et documentation en économie de la santé), mars 2011. Source : http...
Si l'existence de ces nouveaux risques est à peu près attestée dans les discours, les exemples concrets de démarches opérationnelles de prévention sont encore assez rares, tant il est difficile d'appréhender ce sujet dans toute sa complexité. La présente contribution présente en premier l'état de la littérature et les modèles théoriques reconnus valides par l'ensemble des experts. En second, des résultats de diagnostics précis qui montrent comment passer de la théorie...
Background: Although nurse staffing has been found to be related to patient mortality, there has been limited study of the independent effect of work schedules on patient care outcomes. Objective: To determine if, in hospitals where nurses report more adverse work schedules, there would be increased patient mortality, controlling for staffing. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used, with multilevel data from a 2004 survey of 633 nurses working in 71 acute nonfederal hospitals in North Carolina and Illinois. Mortality measures were the risk-adjusted Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality...
Le Rapport canadien sur l'agrément des services de santé de 2010 fait une étude approfondie des relations qui existent entre la qualité de vie au travail et la sécurité des patients dans les organismes de santé. Le rapport se penche aussi sur les liens qui existent entre la façon dont les membres du personnel de soins de santé perçoivent le climat de travail et la culture de sécurité des patients dans leur organisme, et la façon dont ces perceptions servent à cerner les problèmes de sécurité...
Health and safety managers need information on the financial implications of health and safety interventions at their healthcare facilities in order to make informed resource allocation decisions. However, Institute for Work & Health (IWH) researchers have found that few economic evaluations of health and safety interventions have been conducted in healthcare or other sectors, so there is little information available to occupational health and safety (OHS) decision makers from external sources. To address this gap, the research team worked with partners to develop a step-by-step software tool...
A Review From an Occupational Health Nurse Perspective Registered nurses are the largest group of health care providers in the United States. To provide 24-hour care, hospital staff nurses often work long hours and consecutive shifts, without adequate meal or rest breaks. Serious declines in functioning related to provider fatigue can lead to safety issues for patients and nurses alike. The occupational health nurse can assess the effects of nurses' work hours and break periods on employee health, educate staff on the importance of sleep and deleterious effects of fatigue, and implement programs...
Nursing assistants are a critical part of the dedicated staff who work day and night in nursing homes to keep residents safe, secure, cared-for, and comfortable. Yet the very workers ensuring the safety of our seniors are themselves at risk for workplace violence and assaults. Recent NIOSH research based on the first large, nationally representative sample of nursing assistants reported that that nursing assistants in nursing homes have a high rate of work-related physical injuries from assault.1 Overall, 35% of nursing assistants reported physical injuries resulting from aggression by residents...
Healthcare workers exposed to physical violence A new study found that healthcare workers who are exposed to physical violence at work experience significantly more often low back pain and other musculoskeletal symptoms. The study, 'Violence at work increases the risk of musculoskeletal pain among nursing-home workers', is published online in the Occupational and Environmental Medicine journal.

Le rôle des normes de genre et de profession La perception des relations entre travail et santé est approchée à partir de deux types de sources, quantitative – l'enquête Sumer – et qualitative – une enquête localisée auprès de soignantes hospitalières et de salariés masculins de la sous-traitance dans l'industrie lourde. Trois grands modèles d'analyse des relations travail/santé sont identifiés : le travail comme facteur délétère mais méconnu, naturalisé...
A Fatigue Countermeasures Feasibility Study Studies indicate that extended shifts worked by hospital staff nurses are associated with higher risk of errors. Long work hours coupled with insufficient sleep and fatigue are even riskier. Although other industries have developed programs to reduce fatigue-related errors and injury, fatigue countermeasures program for nurses (FCMPN) are lacking. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of an FCMPN for improving sleep duration and quality while reducing daytime sleepiness and patient care errors. Selected sleep variables, errors and...
