“…Similarly low smoking rates among female doctors, as compared with their male counterparts, have been recently reported in China. 18 A plot of reported smoking rates from all studies (Figure 1) clearly demonstrates the magnitude of this decline in Japan, which is consistent with trends in many other countries. For example, the earliest large-scale reviews of doctors’ smoking habits appear to have been undertaken by Adriaanse and colleagues, 8 , 19 who found that smoking prevalence rates had declined substantially in many countries since the 1950s.…”

BackgroundAlthough there has been a downward trend in smoking rates among medical doctors in recent years, rates have been higher among Japanese doctors when compared internationally.MethodsWe extensively reviewed all published English- and Japanese-language articles that reported the smoking rates of Japanese doctors.ResultsA total of 36 articles were examined, most of which had been conducted as postal surveys, usually by a national, prefectural, or local medical association. Sample sizes ranged from 17 to 11 773, and response rates ranged from 33% to 91%. National surveys conducted between 1965 and 2009 suggest that there has been a statistically significant (P < 0.0001) decline in smoking rates among Japanese doctors (from around 68% to 16% among males and from 19% to 5% among females).ConclusionsOverall, the published data reveal a significant decline in smoking rates among Japanese doctors since 1965, especially among men. Although less than one-fifth of Japanese male doctors now smoke, more work needs to be done in tobacco control to help further reduce the burden of smoking, especially in medical schools.

“…Psychosocial work factors such as skill level, job strain, work‐life balance, psychological job demand, decision latitude, decision authority and job control can also influence QoL. Psychosocial work factors as a whole affected the QoL of male Malaysian automotive factory workers (Edimansyah, Rusli, Naing, Mohamed, & Winn, ); other studies linked QoL with specific aspects, such as job strain (Lerner, Levine, Malspeis, & D'Agostino, ; Tzeng, Chung, & Yang, ), job control (Liang, Hsieh, Lin, & Chen, ), social support (Jönsson, ; Liang et al., ; Tzeng et al., ), work‐life imbalance (Makabe, Takagai, Asanuma, Ohtomo, & Kimura, ), occupational stress and role overload (Wu, Li, Wang, Yang, & Qiu, ) and imbalanced effort/reward (Teles et al., ). However, promotion of work ability can benefit QoL in physical, psychosocial, social relationship and environmental domains (Milosevic et al., ; Sörensen et al., ) and positive correlations between QoL domains and job satisfactions have also been revealed (Cimete, Gencalp, & Keskin, ; Ibrahim et al., ).…”

Aim To examine the quality of life of nurses and midwives in New South Wales, Australia and compare values with those of the Australian general population; to determine the influence of workforce, health and work life characteristics on quality of life and its effect on workforce intention to leave. Background Few studies have examined nurses’ and midwives’ quality of life and little is known of its effects on workforce longevity. Design This was a cross‐sectional survey conducted in 2014–2015. Method The “Fit for the Future” electronic survey, delivered to nurses and midwives, examined demographic, work and health‐related factors, which were compared with Australian general population normative values for physical and mental components of quality of life (the Short Form‐12). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models assessed associations with workforce intention to leave. Result Physical and mental component scores, calculated for 4,592 nurses and midwives, revealed significantly higher physical but lower mental component scores than the general population. Physical component scores decreased with increasing age; higher scores were seen in nurses with better health indices and behaviours. Mental well‐being scores increased with increasing age; in nurses who reported job satisfaction, no work injury, sleep problems or frequent pain and non‐smokers. The odds of intention to leave decreased with increasing mental well‐being. Conclusion Managers and decision‐makers should heed study recommendations to implement health promotion strategies for nurses and midwives, aiming to improve mental health, specifically to promote workforce retention.

“…6 Other research shows that job satisfaction is the strongest predictor of nurses' commitment to a specific hospital 7 and that job satisfaction is connected to occupational stress in nursing. 8 Occupational stress is a serious problem affecting nurses 9 and research shows that this is connected with absence from work 1 and intentions to quit a hospital. 8 Inductionsparticularly those connected with mental health -have the potential to help nurses cope with challenging workplace experiences and to self-reflect about their own cognitive responses at work.…”

Nurses suffer disproportionate levels of stress and are at risk of sickness-absence and turnover intentions but there is a lack of research clarifying preventions. This study investigated the impact of inductions (job preparation courses) about mental health for nurses' job stress, general health and organizational commitment. Data from 6,656 nurses were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM), showing that mental health inductions increase nurses' job satisfaction, which reduces their occupational stress and improves their health. SEM showed that these occupational health benefits increase the nurses' commitment to the organization. Job satisfaction (feeling valued, rewarded) also had a direct effect on nurses' intentions to continue working for the organization. Mental health inductions are therefore beneficial beyond job performance: they increase occupational health in the nursing profession.
