“…Therefore, the one who manages household’s property needs to bear the costs of giving money or in-kind gifts, which reduces the benefits brought by social capital. Previous studies have also documented that household heads experienced more mental stress due to household food burden and financial expenditure [ 53 , 54 ].…”

Background Health inequality, including physical and mental health inequality, is an important issue. What role social capital plays in mental health inequality is still ambiguous, especially in developing countries. The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between social capital and mental health inequality in China. Method Both family-level and community-/village-level social capitals are included in our analysis. Data is mainly extracted from the China Family Panel Studies in 2018, and lagged term of social capital in CFPS 2016 was used to link with other variables in 2018. Depressive symptoms and subjective well-being are set as indicators of mental health. A series of OLS regression models were conducted to estimate the effects of social capital on mental health and mental health inequality. Results Higher levels of social capital and income are related to a lower level of depressive symptoms and a higher level of subjective well-being. The positive coefficient of interaction term of family-level social capital and income level in the urban area indicates that the inhibiting effect of social capital on depressive symptoms is pro-poor. The negative coefficient of interaction term of village-level social capital and income level in the rural area suggests that the promoting effect of social capital on subjective well-being is pro-poor, too. Conclusion The results show that severe mental health inequality exists in China; family-level social capital can buffer depressive symptom inequality, and village-level social capital can buffer SWB inequality. Although the amount of social capital of the poor is less than the rich, the poor can better use social capital to improve their mental health. Our study advocates enhancing social participation and communication for the poor to reduce mental health inequality.

“…Shift work can cause health problems such as sleep disorders, accidents and depression by reducing secretion of melatonin from the pituitary gland (Books et al, 2020; Wickwire et al, 2017). Women who work shifts and nights complain of difficulties such as changes in menstrual cycle and fatigue and worry about the effects on pregnancy and the health of the fetus (Kim & Kim, 2020). Pregnant nurses also experience shift work, long hours of standing, physically demanding work and lack of break time and are exposed to chemicals during their shifts (Lee et al, 2020).…”

AimTo identify occupational conditions associated with anxiety and fatigue among Korean nurses in early pregnancy.BackgroundPregnant nurses, like non‐pregnant hospital nurses, are exposed to dangerous and stressful work environments, which can affect fatigue and anxiety.Design and MethodsThis cross‐sectional study enrolled 1490 nurses who participated in the early pregnancy module in the Korea Nurses' Health Study between 2014 and 2020. Hierarchical linear regression analyses were employed to identify the factors associated with anxiety and fatigue among nurses in early pregnancy.ResultsOne‐fifth of participants were working night shifts, and more than two‐thirds were working overtime. When using antineoplastic drugs and disinfectants, the rate of use of protective equipment varied depending on the size of the hospital. Working overtime and lifting heavy objects were associated with increased anxiety and fatigue among nurses.ConclusionOvertime work was associated with both anxiety and fatigue among pregnant nurses. Pregnant hospital nurses were exposed to both night shift and overtime work. Therefore, hospital managers should improve hazardous working environments to protect the health of nurses in early pregnancy and their fetuses.

“…Furthermore, economic-activity-related stress and chronic inflammation have a causal relationship with breast cancer incidence among women [ 8 ]. In a study on occupational stress and mental health of working women who are the heads of a household, 46.7% had poor mental health and were diagnosed with hypertension (7.3%) and obesity (2.1%) [ 9 ]. Although employed women have high levels of sociopsychological stress [ 10 , 11 ], they are less likely than their non-employed counterparts to exhibit health prevention behavior [ 12 ] and cancer prevention practices [ 13 ].…”

We assessed the association between breast cancer and analgesic use in women of a specific working-age group. The Korean National Health Insurance Service–National Sample Cohort database (KNHIS–NSC) data were analyzed. We calculated hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for patients’ cancer risk based on whether the women participated in economic activity (PEA or not PEA (NPEA) groups) and analgesic use. Additionally, breast cancer incidence variations by age group, and PEA or NPEAs, health behavior, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and analgesic use were evaluated. The PEA group had a higher cancer risk than the NPEA group (HR = 1.542, 95% CI: 1.345–1.768, p < 0.001). Breast cancer risk was high in the PEA, high income, and no history of exercise groups, but significantly reduced in the regular-use-of-analgesics group. Notably, the working age group of 40~49 years, within the PEA group, had the highest HR of breast cancer development (HR = 1.700, 95% CI = 1.361–2.124, p < 0.001); whereas regular analgesic use in those aged 25~39 years decreased breast cancer risk (HR = 0.611, 95% CI = 0.427–0.875, p < 0.05). In conclusion, our results suggest that individuals at a high-risk of comorbidity may benefit from regular use of analgesics, which may prove to be a useful strategy for breast cancer prevention in the Young-aged group.
