This paper highlighted the importance of organizations to consider work-family conflict to ensure employees' well-being because they develop reciprocal relationship with a loss spiral effect.

Job characteristics are important to work-family conflict (WFC). Additionally, is well established that WFC has a negative impact on mental health. As such, this research aims to examine the role of WFC as a mechanism that explains the relationship between job characteristics (i.e., those establishing by the Job Demands-Control-Support Model) and workers’ mental health. Moreover, based on gender inequalities in work and non-work roles, this study analyzed gender as moderator of this mediation. Specifically, the relationship between job characteristics and WFC and the relationship between WFC and mental health could be stronger for women than for men. With a sample of 254 workers from a Portuguese services company, (61% males), and based on a multiple-group analysis, the results indicated that the WFC mediates the relationship between job characteristics (i.e., job demands and job control) and mental health. It was reinforced that job demands and lack of control could contribute to employees’ stress and, once individual’ energy was drained, the WFC could emerge. Ultimately, may be due to the presence of this conflict that individuals mental health’ is negatively affected. Contrary to our expectations, this relationship is not conditioned by gender (Z-scores were non-significant). The study results have implications for human resource management, enhancing the knowledge on the relationship between the WFC and workers’ mental health.

Our study contributes to theory and practice, since occupational health professionals should be aware that burnout and the loss of wellbeing may be related to workplace bullying and that productivity loss due to presenteeism may be a warning sign. Leaders can understand the underlying mechanism that explains employees' productivity loss due to presenteeism by addressing workplace bullying and its negative relation with emotional exhaustion and wellbeing.

Work-family life conflict is an important factor to explain employee well-being and productivity and should be addressed as well as work factors.

Diabetes is a major public health problem and it is related to socioeconomic factors. The aim of this study is to describe socioeconomic inequalities in the distribution of diabetes in the population with 25 years or more, resident in Portugal in 2014. Material and Methods:Data from the Health National Survey 2014 was analysed, n = 16 786. We estimated the prevalence of diabetes in the population and stratified by socioeconomic variables namely educational level and income. The extent of socioeconomic inequalities was assessed using concentration index and the relative index of inequality. Results: Diabetes was found to be concentrated among the people with lower educational levels (concentration index = -0.26) and lower income quintiles (concentration index = -0.14). Relative index of inequality also showed a lower degree of inequality among the most educated (0,20; CI 95% = [0,12; 0,32]) and with higher income (0,59; CI 95% = [0,48; 0,74]). Discussion: Distribution of diabetes is associated with education and income. Previous studies have shown that although income might reflect lifestyle patterns, education reflects better social factors that are important for establishing healthier behaviours. Also, the National Health Service, of universal coverage and free of charge, might have contributed to reduce inequalities in the access to health by those with the lowest income. Conclusion: Supporting 'Health in All Policies' might reduce inequalities, namely by improving population educational level and actions that promote health literacy.

Unintentional injuries are recognized by the World Health Organization and the European Union as a preventable public health problem contributing to mortality and morbidity burden and expression in the emergency department (ED). According to EuroSafe injury is the fourth most common cause of death within the EU, being the leading cause of death in the youngest. Whereas injury related fatalities is only a part of the problem and more patients require hospital treatment it is essential measure the size of the injury problem and characteristics of these non-fatal injuries. Information from Injury Data-Base reveals that the majority of injury related ED attendances and hospital admissions result from accidents occur in home and during leisure times. So, the aim of this study it was to know the proportion of Home and Leisure Accidents (HLA) which needed attendance in the emergency rooms of the Hospitals National Health, in Portugal Mailand, in 2019. For the analysis were considered the total number of NHS health entities that have an ED, SONHO information system and National injury surveillance system - EVITA System. Based on hospital emergency records in 2019, was obtained the total number of victims by HLA who needed assistance in this health services. In 2019, there were 526 786 ED attendances due to HLA, so about 11,3% of hospital ED attendances in mainland Portugal were caused by HLA. Globally, it was observed a proportion of HLA with admission in ED higher in males (12,9%) than females (10,1%). Disaggregating the data by age group, it was possible to observe a preponderance of males in victims aged less than or equal to 54 years. On the other hand, females showed a higher proportion in individuals aged 55 and over. Additionally, victims aged 75 and over had the highest proportion of hospital admissions by HLA, both in females (15,5%) and males (13,1%). This study represented a relevant advance contributing to the revelation of the dimension of this problem in Portugal. Key messages The National Injury Surveillance System provides information that allows to know the dimension of this health problem in mainland Portugal. HLA represents 11,3 % of the total hospital ED attendances. HLA are the predominant cause of injury related ED attendances. Males and females have a different proportions of injury. Males aged 54 years and over have higher proportion of HLA than females.

Animais peçonhentos injetam o veneno produzido ou modificado em suas presas através de algum aparato inoculador. Os que mais causam acidentes no Brasil são algumas espécies de serpentes, escorpiões e aranhas, principalmente em áreas rurais e constituem em emergência clínica, principalmente se a vítima for criança. Nestes casos, quanto mais rápida a assistência for dada, menor o risco de sequelas e óbitos. Sendo assim, pretendese descrever o perfil dos acidentes por animais peçonhentos AAPs no Estado de Pernambuco. Bem como, reconhecer as intervenções imediatas às inoculações de acordo com o tipo de envenenamento. Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico do tipo quantitativo e descritivo, sobre os AAPs no Estado de Pernambuco, entre 2013 e 2017; os dados foram obtidos no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação -SINAN do Ministério da Saúde analisando-se as variáveis tipo (serpente, escorpião e aranha), tempo até do atendimento e a porcentagem de cura. Durante o período foram registrados 896.284 casos de AAPs no Brasil. Em Pernambuco foram 65.766 casos, com uma média de atendimento de 58% nas 3 primeiras horas. Os dados obtidos identificaram para serpentes (3.945 casos) com 86,9 % de cura, escorpiões (50.793 casos) com 90,7 % de cura e aranhas (872 casos) com 90,3% de cura. Dentre as intervenções imediatas às inoculações destacou-se: lavar a região com água e sabão; entrar em contato com o Centro de Assistência Toxicológica e dirigir-se imediatamente ao centro de referência indicado, se possível levando o animal vivo ou morto, para a correta administração do soro específico. Contudo é evidente que o evento possui grande magnitude no Estado de Pernambuco, ocupando a quinta posição nacional, com destaque para os acidentes escorpiônicos, em sua maioria do gênero T.stigmurus, concluindo a necessidade de políticas públicas envolvendo profissionais e comunidade, como alvo de prevenção, diminuição e domínio sobre o assunto.
