Objectives Although previous studies have proposed a positive influence of resilience on the mental and physical health of health care workers, empirical evidence on its relationship with occupational health remains scarce. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between individual resilience and several occupational health indicators, as well as exploring the moderating role of organizational resilience and sociodemographic attributes on this relationship. Methods A cross-sectional design was used with a questionnaire applied to a sample of 325 workers from the Spanish health care sector. Results Individual resilience was significantly associated with the indicators of occupational health. A direct effect of individual resilience on job satisfaction was found. The influence of resilience on the perception of fatigue and suffering from an illness was reverse. Age moderated the impact of resilience on the perception of stress and medical leave. Besides, organizational resilience proved to be an important adjustment variable in job satisfaction and perception of stress. Conclusions The findings show the relevance to take both individual and organizational resilience into account when applying intervention programs to improve the occupational health of health care workers.

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar la relación existente entre el estrés laboral y la sensibilidad egocéntrica negativa con el estatus de salud física y psicológica de profesionales venezolanos. Se midieron el estrés laboral percibido, según el Modelo Demanda-Control (demanda-control-apoyo social), la sensibilidad egocéntrica negativa y el estatus salud física y psicológica autopercibida, en 441 profesionales venezolanos de diferentes disciplinas y de ambos sexos (M=220; F=220; edad X= 30 años, DT=6,52). Los resultados mostraron que el estrés laboral y la sensibilidad egocéntrica negativa impactan sobre la salud autopercibida. La sensibilidad egocéntrica negativa se relaciona positivamente con mayores demandas laborales, así como con una mayor ansiedad, depresión, reportes de enfermedad, síntomas e indicadores de morbilidad y de manera inversa con control laboral, apoyo social, autoestima y bienestar, apoyando evidencias previas sobre el efecto pervasivo de la sensibilidad egocéntrica negativa sobre la salud y el bienestar de los individuos.
Carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (CCUS) is a potentially relevant option to limit greenhouse gas emissions. The development of CCUS has so far been slow in spite of substantial plans for implementation for example by the European Union. Lack of societal support is among the reasons cited for this gap between ambitions and implementation. Against this background, this paper simultaneously looks into the policy framework as well as stakeholder perceptions of CCUS as indicators for societal support. The focus is on three regions in three different European countries (Ebro Basin, Spain; Paris Basin, France; Upper Silesia, Poland) and a potential implementation of CCUS in these regions. The empirical data this paper draws on consists of 40 stakeholder interviews on the regional and national level. Our analysis points to differences between the countries with France being most advanced. The main driver for the development of CCUS in all three countries is (local) economic benefit by preserving existing or creating new industries. Barriers include costs, potential environmental impacts, and to some extent lack of support from policymakers and the public.

The objective is to analyse how people differently understand and react to air pollution. In particular, we attempt to discern different profiles of people in terms of their attitudes towards air pollution by means of the Q method. The Q method is a qualitative but statistical approach enabling us to discover a variety of attitudinal profiles or discourses concerning an issue from reduced samples. Our results reveal two different attitudinal profiles: annoyed-aware and optimistic-unaware. Nonetheless, there is an important shared discourse among these two groups regarding their behavioural responses to air pollution, levels of worry, self-efficacy and desire for more information. The results have implications for potential health and environmental communication interventions.Resumen: Este artículo evalúa las diversas actitudes públicas frente a la contaminación atmosférica. Su objetivo es analizar los diferentes modos en que la opinión pública entiende la contaminación atmosférica y reacciona ante ella. En particular, tratamos de distinguir diferentes perfiles de individuos en cuanto a sus actitudes ante la contaminación atmosférica a través del método Q. El método Q es una técnica cualitativa pero también estadística que nos permite descubrir distintos discursos relacionados con un tema concreto a partir de muestras pequeñas. Nuestros resultados revelan dos perfiles actitudinales diferentes: molesto-consciente y optimista-poco consciente. No obstante, existe un importante discurso compartido entre estos dos grupos respecto a sus comportamientos ante la contaminación atmosférica, su nivel de preocupación, su autoeficacia y el deseo de mayor información. Los resultados obtenidos tienen implicaciones para posibles intervenciones en salud y en comunicación ambiental.
