“…The connection between work intensification and negative outcomes, such as job strain, work disengagement and psychological distress, has been demonstrated in studies conducted in the United States (e.g. Anderson-Connolly et al, 2002), Canada (Sayin et al, 2019), Germany (e.g. Franke, 2015), Australia (e.g.…”

Using a two-wave survey of 315 workers in a lean manufacturing plant, this study examines how work intensification affects employee wellbeing and how its effects may be ameliorated. It demonstrates that work intensification is transmitted into poorer wellbeing through greater emotional exhaustion. It shows that this mediation process is moderated by line-manager support, which buffers the relationship between emotional exhaustion and wellbeing. The study suggests that the health-impairing risks of high work intensity in lean settings can be reduced through better supervisory support. Ensuring that line managers have the opportunity, skills and motivation to offer good support to workers is a vital aspect of the interventions needed to counteract the health risks posed by lean production.

“…Namely, a) heavy workload, b) high risk of injury, c) lack of respect, d) low pay, and f) parttime or hourly based job.

More than eight million Canadians are providing care for their aging family members, relatives, neighbours, or friends. Due to staff shortage, eldercare facilities are also relying on their residents’ families to fill the gap of the care needs. Caregiving responsibilities have forced many employees to take time-off from work or take early retirement, which is a heavy loss of productivity of Canada’s national economy. This study employed a mixed method strategy, and with both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods: interview, focus group discussion, and a questionnaire survey. It shows that Canadians must take time off from work or to leave jobs for providing care to their loved ones, even when they are residing in a long-term care setting. This seemingly private matter is a very public one in the other side of the coin: family caregivers’ lost time in employment is affecting Canada’s national economy significantly. Government should work with stakeholders to develop a national strategy to tackle the issue. COVID-19 outbreak has revealed long-term care institutions’ struggle with severe staff shortage in Canada.

“…Cabe inferir que condições de trabalho fragilizadas, implicam em maior índice de estresse nos trabalhadores, o que por sua vez, pode trazer prejuízos na qualidade da assistência ao paciente. Assim, a intensificação do trabalho está associada ao estresse, e este medeia à associação da intensificação do trabalho à satisfação intrínseca no trabalho (Sayin, et al,. 2018).…”

Objetivo: identificar os fatores relacionados à intensificação do trabalho da enfermagem no ambiente hospitalar. Método: estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura, cujo levantamento bibliográfico foi realizado em agosto e setembro de 2019, em seis bases de dados da área da saúde. A amostra esteve constituída por 20 artigos. Realizou-se a sistematização dos dados pela técnica de Análise de Conteúdo Temático. Resultados: a intensificação do trabalho da enfermagem está relacionada aos fatores institucionais/laborais com foco na precarização do trabalho, sub dimensionamento de pessoal com consequente aumento da carga de trabalho, fragilidades nas condições e relações de trabalho, extensão e/ou duplicidade na jornada de trabalho e, neste interim, a realização de varias tarefas de modo simultâneo. Dentre os fatores humanos, destaca-se a ocorrência de alterações físicas e emocionais nos trabalhadores, aumento do estresse, exaustão, fragilidade nas relações e aumento do absenteísmo. Já em relação aos fatores clínicos, estão relacionados com o aumento nas taxas de admissões a altas hospitalares, aumento nas taxas de mortalidade dos pacientes e tempo de permanência hospitalar. Conclusão: evidencia-se que a intensificação do trabalho da enfermagem no ambiente hospitalar advém de fatores institucionais/laborais, fatores humanos e aqueles relacionados com o quadro clínico dos pacientes. O estudo poderá contribuir poderá subsidiar e fomentar discussões sobre a temática, possibilitando à formulação de estratégias direcionadas a saúde do trabalhador e melhoria da qualidade dos cuidados oferecidos aos pacientes.
