“…Four studies used pre-post-test measurements (30,31,32,35) and six had follow-up ranging mainly from one week to one month (29,33,34,36,38,39). One study implemented a 3-month follow-up (37).…”

“…All studies evaluated individuallevel interventions carried out among a healthy, working population and none addressed working conditions or job stressors. Five studies included high-stress professions, such as police, healthcare staff or education professionals (29,30,31,32,33), four were carried out among office workers (34,35,36,37) and two included manufacturing workers (38,39). Studies were carried out mostly in high and middle-income countries.…”

“…One study included two intervention groups (33) and the remaining studies included non-active (29,34,37), waiting-list (31,39) or active (31,32,36,39) control groups. One study did not involve a control group (35). Reported attrition rates ranged between 6.1-88%.…”

“…With regard to session duration, six interventions lasted ≤30 minutes (29,30,33,35,36,37) and five between 30-60 minutes (31,32,34,38,39). Seven interventions involved face-to-face training (29,31,32,33,34,37,39), one was delivered online (35) and one was self-administered (36). Two interventions used mixed methods: face-to-face and computer-based (38), and participants receiving a CD of guided exercise after face-to-face training (30).…”

“…Reported attrition rates ranged between 6.1-88%. Most brief interventions were delivered in weekly intervals (29,30,31,33,35,38,39), one was conducted daily (36), one on alternate days (32) and one every four weeks (34). One intervention was a single session (37).…”

The present study offers an overview of the evidence on the effectiveness of brief mental health and well-being interventions in organizational settings and comparison of their effects with corresponding interventions of common (ie, longer) duration. It discusses the findings in the light of quality appraisal of included studies and emphasizes the need for further research with methodologically rigorous study designs and enhanced reporting of methods. Affiliation 99Review Scand J Work Environ Health. 2017;43(2):99-108. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3616 A systematic review of brief mental health and well-being interventions in organizational settings Objectives The aim of the systematic review was to provide an overview of the evidence on the effectiveness of brief interventions targeting mental health and well-being in organizational settings and compare their effects with corresponding interventions of common (ie, longer) duration.Methods An extensive systematic search was conducted using the Medline and PsycINFO databases for the period of 2000-2016. Randomized-controlled trials (RCT) and quasi-experimental studies evaluating primary or secondary brief interventions carried out in the workplace settings were included. Subsequently, common interventions matching brief interventions by type and assessed outcomes were included. The methodological quality of included studies was appraised using NICE guidelines, and the best evidence synthesis approach was applied. ResultsThe review identified 11 brief interventions and 9 corresponding common interventions. Included studies varied substantially in sample size and characteristics, methodological quality, duration of follow-up, types of intervention, and assessed outcomes. All but one study evaluating brief interventions had high risk of bias. No evidence was found on the effectiveness of brief stress management, relaxation, massage, mindfulness meditation, or multimodal interventions. We found limited evidence on the effectiveness of brief positive psychology interventions.Conclusions Our review highlights the need for high-quality studies evaluating brief mental health and wellbeing interventions in organizational settings. Future studies should use methodologically rigorous designs and improved reporting of methods and results to provide conclusive evidence on the effectiveness and sustainability of the intervention effects.Key terms brief intervention; mental health; occupational health; organization; prevention; promotion; workplace; workplace intervention. The majority of people spend a great part of their lives at work, therefore it is very important to address determinants of workplace-related mental health and develop effective strategies to preserve it. One of the major risk factors leading to poor mental health and well-being is work-related stress, affecting more than 40 million individuals across the European Union (1). Long-term exposure to work-related stress is associated with an increased risk of depression and may contribute to a range of other debilitatin...

ObjectiveWe aim to investigate the quantity and quality of scientific evidence dealing with comprehensive health issues of working women in occupational health.MethodsThis scoping review of original articles that investigated comprehensive health issues of working women aged 19–64 years in Japan was published in PubMed (1967–2022) and Igaku Chuo Zasshi (or Ichu‐shi, 1982–2022). Using identical broad search terms, we first identified 17 122 English and 6154 Japanese articles. We excluded those with clinically relevant topics, or ethnicity other than Japanese and included 853 English and 855 Japanese articles for review and classified them into nine research areas considered to be critical factors for women in the workforce and five study design groups to investigate the quality of the evidence accumulated.ResultsAmong 853 English‐language articles in PubMed, “Mental health” was the most frequent area studied, followed by “Work‐related disease” and “Lifestyle‐related disease.” Among 855 Japanese‐language articles from Ichu‐shi, “Mental health” was the most frequently studied area followed by “Work and balance,” and “Work‐related disease.” “Infertility, pregnancy, and childbirth” and “Menstruation, menopause, and genital disease” were well studied in Ichu‐shi but scarcely published in PubMed. “Harassment and discrimination” were sparsely reported in both databases. As for research designs, many articles in both PubMed and Ichu‐shi employed descriptive or cross‐sectional study designs. However, a few studies employed cohort/longitudinal or interventional studies.ConclusionThe results underscored the need for higher‐quality study designs with more scientific evidence on working women's health in the field of occupational health.
