“…On the other hand, the results show that full-time work is associated with greater job stress in both sexes. Previous studies record similar results, insofar as this research has associated a higher number of working hours with higher occupational stress [55].…”

“…Previous research has found that temporary workers and those with job instability make less frequent visits to the family doctor [55] and have a higher prevalence of mental disorders [53]. However, in our study we found that self-employed workers are the least likely to make medical visits and the most likely to suffer from depression and chronic anxiety.…”

“…If we focus on the multidimensional perspective of this study, previous research has observed elements of job insecurity attributed to the increase in psychosomatic disorders and unhealthy habits, such as the use of hypnosedatives and addictive substances that erode people's health [55][56][57][58][59][60]. Specifically, with regard to contractual status, working conditions and occupational social class, it has been identified that (a) people on temporary contracts use health services less frequently for fear of being absent from work and dismissed [55]; (b) working long hours has been associated with higher levels of alcohol consumption [55]; (c) night work has been associated with regular smoking [56]; (d) high levels of occupational stress have been associated with a higher prevalence of alcohol consumption [57,58] and the use of hypnosedatives [59]; and (e) the more vulnerable manual social classes have been associated with poor mental health [60] and regular tobacco use [55].…”

In a context of high job insecurity resulting from social deregulation policies, this research aims to study health and substance abuse inequalities in the workplace from a gender perspective. To this end, a transversal study was carried out based on microdata from the National Health Survey in Spain—2017, selecting the active population and calculating the prevalence of the state of health and consumption, according to socio-occupational factors (work relationship, social occupational class, time and type of working day). Odds ratios adjusted by socio-demographic variables and their 90% confidence intervals were estimated by means of binary logistic regressions stratified by sex. The results obtained showed two differentiated patterns of health and consumption. On the one hand, unemployed people and those from more vulnerable social classes showed a higher prevalence of both chronic depression and anxiety and of hypnosedative and tobacco use. On the other hand, the better positioned social classes reported greater work stress and alcohol consumption. In addition, while unemployment affected men’s health more intensely, women were more affected by the type of working day. The study can be used to design sustainable preventive occupational health policies, which should at least aim at improving the quantity and quality of employment.

“…Caregivers’ schooling was dichotomized as 0 = no schooling or primary education and 1 = secondary education or higher, and family income was dichotomized as 0 = less than 2 minimum wages and 1 = 2 or more minimum wages. Primary schooling or no schooling and a family income below two minimum wages are clearly associated with precarious situations [ 74 ]. Hence, these cutoff points were used to dichotomize these two variables.…”

Predictors of Quality of Life among Parents of Children with Chronic Diseases: A Cross-Sectional Study

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Quality of life (QOL) is a key aspect of the health care process for children with chronic diseases and their families. Although clinical evidence regarding the impact of chronic disease on children exists, few studies have evaluated the effects of the interaction between sociodemographic and psychosocial factors on the family caregiver’s QOL, indicating a significant gap in the research literature. The present study aimed to identify the predictors of the QOL of parents of children with chronic diseases. Three parental sociodemographic predictors (age, schooling, and family income) and four psychosocial predictors (family functioning, social support, depression, and resilience) were examined. In this cross-sectional study, 416 parents of children with chronic diseases who were hospitalized at a National Institute of Health in Mexico City were interviewed. The participants completed a sociodemographic variables questionnaire (Q-SV) designed for research on family caregivers of children with chronic disease. The predicted variable was assessed through the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire. The four psychosocial predictors were assessed through the Family Functioning Scale, Social Support Networks Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and Measurement Scale of Resilience. The regression model explained 42% of the variance in parents’ QOL. The predictors with positive weights included age, schooling, monthly family income, family functioning, social support networks, and parental resilience. The predictors with negative weights included depression. These findings suggest that strong social relationships, a positive family environment, family cohesion, personal resilience, low levels of depression, and a family income twice the minimum wage are variables associated with better parental QOL.

Objetivo: esta investigación buscó examinar la perspectiva de trabajadores informales y tecnólogos de salud ocupacional sobre la implementación de la estrategia de entornos de trabajo saludables en las unidades de trabajo informal (UTI) de la localidad de Usaquén (Bogotá, Colombia). Método: estudio descriptivo en 16 UTI utilizando herramientas cualitativas. Se hizo observación directa en 16 UTI y encuestas de conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas a 17 trabajadores (hombres y mujeres). Se hicieron entrevistas semiestructuradas a dos tecnólogos en salud ocupacional. Resultados: los trabajadores que han sido parte de la estrategia tienen un conocimiento satisfactorio de los riesgos ocupacionales. Esto ha llevado a algunas medidas positivas de prevención en las UTI (p. ej. orden, señalización). Sin embargo, la mayoría de conocimientos sobre los riesgos y su prevención no se manifiestan en prácticas de los trabajadores. Los participantes identificaron como principales barreras para la implementación de la estrategia el tiempo disponible por parte de los trabajadores y la corta duración del programa. Discusión y Conclusiones: desde la perspectiva de los participantes, la estrategia de entornos de trabajo saludables ha presentado algunos beneficios. Sin embargo, es importante que las barreras identificadas sean superadas. Este tipo de estrategias requieren de continuidad para que la capacitación se manifieste en beneficios de salud para los trabajadores. Las actividades que fueron percibidas como las más efectivas son aquellas que están articuladas con requerimientos legales de las UTI. Esta investigación aporta a la literatura científica sobre la salud ocupacional en trabajadores informales y a los pocos estudios cualitativos en salud ocupacional.
