노인 돌봄의 전문성 향상을 위한 인력정책 비교연구: 독일, 일본, 한국을 중심으로

labor policy among the long-term care insurance policies for the elderly in Germany, Japan, and Korea. To this end, previous studies examined changes in the policy environment and the framework of policy calculation in the global historical trend of elderly care policies in countries that first experienced an aging society. As a result, various policies appeared from country to country between tax-based care and social insurance-based care. Germany and Japan, which first chose the same route as Korea, advanced the professionalism of care workers, while dualizing them into auxiliary workers at the level of daily care. Strengthening the professionalism of elderly care workers is a must-achieve goal in the long run, but it can be seen that various real conditions have also been linked to an important part of the elderly care labor policy. Based on this study, suggestions were included at the level of policy, education, and medical care institutions. First, at the policy level, the minimum line should be maintained in the professionalism of caregivers. Second, at the educational level, it is necessary not only to deliver knowledge and skills, but also to build the pride of care workers. Third, even if it is not a salary, at the medical care institution level, if expertise is developed and awareness is raised through self-education and the possibility of promotion, the effect of long-term tenure can be seen.

Student-Workers’ Perception towards Distance Education in Ghana

Ghana’s distance education program is significantly flooded with varied perceptions. The constant variations in perceptions could stem from rapid physical and social changes within the education sector. The purpose of this study was to discover student-workers views about distance education in contemporary times. Informed by the pragmatism philosophy, the study employed the explanatory mixed methods to gather data from randomly selected student-workers and study center coordinators in the University of Cape Coast, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and University of Ghana. The study found that student-workers still preferred distance education over the regular program in spite of its steady challenges. The perceived main reason for opting for distance education was their desire to obtain higher education while doing other necessary activities. The sex of student-workers played a significant role in their desire to obtain higher education in UCC but the same could not be said in KNUST and UG. The study concluded that younger student-workers pursuing distance education in UG desired higher education more than the elderly but this relationship was non-existing in UCC and KNUST. It was revealed, in all institutions, that single student-workers desired higher education more than the married. Generally, the socio-demographic characteristics of distance education student-workers in Ghana have changed significantly over the years. The study recommended that university authorities in collaboration with the management of distance education should make the conscious effort to sensitize males, elderly and married workers, to enroll onto the distance education programs to bridge social disparities in distance education.

Does a Longer Work Horizon Affect Offsprings' Labour Market Outcomes?

This paper studies the effect of an increase in the work horizon of middle aged workers on the school-work transition of their offsprings aged 15–29 years. I exploit the variation in the parental work horizon induced by the 2012 Fornero reform in Italy that abruptly changed the age and years of social security contribution requirements for pension eligibility. Utilising a difference-in-difference strategy in a multi-valued treatment setting, the study shows that the reform-induced increase in the work horizon of mothers caused an increase in the probability of their offsprings seeking their first job and a decrease in these offsprings’ probability of being a student. This effect is higher among offsprings who are male, those aged 15–21, those with mothers without a University degree and those in southern Italy. Fathers did not significantly affect the student status or any labour market outcomes of their offsprings. Mechanisms behind these findings include the longer reform-induced work horizon for mothers vs. fathers, and the consequent positive effect on mothers’ lifetime earnings.

The Showmen's Culture: Life, Labor, and Negotiated Loyalty among Traveling Entertainment Workers in the Gilded Age

This article explores the formation of a “showmen's culture” among circus employees in the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth, a cultural identity which had the effect of diffusing labor conflicts in this developing industry. The showmen's culture created an affective bond between employees of all levels, from manual laborers, to middle managers, to company owners. This article links cultural history and labor history and provides an example of how workers outside traditional manual-labor industries coped with the challenges of industrialization, and how proprietors used the same cultural identity to their own advantage.

Investigation and analysis of the safety risk factors of aging construction workers

The proportion of middle-aged and aging workers is increasing year by year in the construction industry. Affected by their physical functions and other conditions, the death rate of aging construction workers is higher than that of the workers in other age groups, which brings higher risks to the safety of the industry. Therefore, the paper aims to determine the main risk factor of safety brought on by the aging construction workers, and the degree of influence of safety risk factor on aging construction workers. Through the design of the questionnaire, the number and type of index to be studied are selected. The 6 first-level indexes and 30 second-level indexes were selected from 100 indexes. The AHP method was used to evaluate the influence of aging construction workers on the safety risk factor. The classification of work contents of aging construction workers in different age groups is proposed to reduce safety risks and provide an effective basis for management. The significance of this study is as follows: (1) The concrete analysis of index affecting the safety risk of aging construction workers has enriched the existing academic research; (2) the quantitative risk index system in the study, provides a reference value for further research in the academic circle; (3) The study of this paper has certain reference significance for construction companies and government regulatory departments to formulate policies and measures, such as job classification of aging workers in different ages and restrictive conditions for high-risk work.

안전문화가 안전참여 행동에 미치는 영향

An increase in elderly workers and foreign workers is likely to lead to an increase in safety accidents, but it is not easy to exclude them unconditionally as the inflow of new domestic workers is very low. Accordingly, interest in the safety of elderly workers and foreign workers has recently increased, and it can be confirmed that efforts to reduce safety accidents customized for elderly workers and foreign workers are needed. Therefore, in this study, in order to derive safety culture factors that have a positive effect on improving the safety participation movement of elderly workers and foreign workers, the ratio of elderly workers and foreign workers to the relationship between safety culture and safety participation actions was analyzed through an adjustment regression analysis. By verifying the moderating effect, the difference in the influence of safety culture factors on safety participation action according to the ratio of elderly workers and foreign workers was investigated. To verify the research model, a moderated regression analysis was conducted to verify the moderating effect of the duty ratio of elderly workers and foreign workers on the relationship between safety culture and safety participation action using the IBM SPSS Statistics 28 statistical analysis package. The main results of this study are summarized as follows. 1) As a result of verifying the influence relationship between safety culture and safety participation action, it was found that it was statistically significant and safety culture explained about 72% of safety participation action. All of the sub-factors (leadership of top management, Leadership of Lead Framer, Education and System, Work Environment, Communication) that constitute safety culture were found to have significant effects. 2) As a result of verifying the moderating effect of the working ratio of elderly workers and foreign workers, it was found that the working ratio of elderly workers had no effect of moderating the relationship between safety culture factors and safety participation action. On the other hand, it was found that the foreign worker duty ratio had a direct effect on safety participation action as well as a moderating effect. In particular, ‘Leadership of Lead Framer’ and ‘Work Environment’ were meaningful. As for 'Leadership of Lead Framer', the higher the ratio of foreign workers, the higher the positive effect on the safety participation movement. In ‘Work Environment’, the higher the ratio of foreign workers, the lower the degree to which the positive effect on safety participation action increased. Through this study, it is expected to understand the specific impact of safety culture on the safety participation action of elderly workers and foreign workers, and to propose a new approach to safety accident prevention and safety management at construction sites.

The effects of workplace violence on the job stress of health care workers: buffering effects of wellbeing HRM practices

Contemporary research has focused on antecedents, incidences, and consequences of workplace violence in the healthcare sector. However, little is known about the role of HRM in supporting healthcare workers to cope with negative emotions arising from workplace violence. Grounded in the conservation of resources theory, this study examines the moderating effects of wellbeing HRM practices (WBHRM) on the relationship between workplace violence and job stress. We also examine the mediation effects of job stress on the relationship between workplace violence and quality of care. Data were gathered from 254 and 225 (Study 1) aged care workers (nurses and personal care assistants) in Australia and 136 healthcare workers (doctors and nurses) in China (Study 2) across multiple waves. We use a new measure of WBHRM in this paper to test our hypotheses. Results show that the presence of WBHRM practices moderated the relationship between workplace violence and job stress. We also found that job stress mediates the relationship between workplace violence and quality of care. The findings contribute to the HRM literature by providing an innovative WBHRM approach to support health care workers to cope with job stress after they experience workplace violence.

Factors Associated with Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders Risk among Bamboo Craftsman in Mojorejo Village, Ponorogo Indonesia

Introduction: Work-related Musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) becomes the one of most-occupational problem and highly related to the individual and work factors. Eighty percent (80%) workers in the woven bamboo industry in Mojorejo Village dominated by middle aged workers (>40 years) that most of their producing activities are manually handled, without using machine or modern technology. Incompatibility work station, long working hours and repeated movement aggravated the WMSDs risk. This study aims to describe the WMSDs risk and determine its factors based on individual characteristics. Methods: There are 58 workers as respondents in this cross-sectional study. Data were collected and analyzed using quantitative method. Posture Exposure (PE) were measured using the QEC instrument. While the WMSDs risk were measured using PLIBEL. Individual factors (PE, Age, Working Period) related to WMSDs were analyzed using Multinomial Logistic Regression (95% CI). The Chi-square test were also used to compare PE rates among WMSDs risk levels. Results: Most respondents (48.3%) with 51-70% PE rate have a high level of WMSDs risk. While 27 % respondents with PE rate >70% have a very high level. The neck is the region most exposed to the WMSDs (score 15.5/very high level risk). PE rate is the only factor that significantly related to WMSDs risk (sig. = 0.043; Rsquare = 0.529; r =0.703). While the age and working period has no significant correlation (Sig = 0.859 and 0.851 respectively). Conclusion: Based on the result, immediate improvement required to be implemented. It is suggested to redesigned work stations adjusted to the workers posture and position.

노인 가족요양보호사의 배우자 돌봄 경험

This study was conducted to explore spousal caregiving experiences among elderly family care workers in depth. To achieve this, seven elderly family care workers who were taking care of their spouses were selected as study participants through purposive and snowball sampling methods. Data were collected in an average of two or more interviews, and spousal caregiving experiences were analyzed for content and meaning using Giorgi (1985)’s phenomenological qualitative method. The results showed 219 meaning units, 58 focal meanings, and 16 emerging themes, and we identified 4 essential themes by reviewing their correlations. The themes were divided into the following categories: ‘It is my spouse, whether you hate it or love it,’ ‘A tunnel with no end in sight for caregiving,’ ‘Challenges and achievements as an elderly family care worker,’ and ‘A journey of spousal caregiving, which becomes more mature as I embrace myself as an elderly family care worker,’ The central theme was ‘Tending to my spouse with my own hands at home while the twilight fades,’ Based on these results, this study suggests that elderly family care workers need institutional, financial, and emotional support to ensure they can provide spousal caregiving in a stable manner at the clinical and policy levels of social welfare.

A Study on the Expected Factors and Revisiting Intent of Consumers for Hair Beauty: Focusing on the route of visit

The purpose of this study was to investigate consumers' expectations and revisit intentions according to the route of visiting hair salons for hair beauty consumers who use hair salons, and to provide basic data for beauty management and designers' marketing strategies in the expanding beauty market. For this study, data were collected from 354 male and female consumers in their 20s or older who live in Seoul and use hair salons. For the analysis of the collected data, frequency analysis, statistical analysis, reliability analysis, and difference analysis were performed using the sps 22.0 statistical program. The results of the study are as follows. First, as a result of examining the general characteristics of the survey subjects, women showed the highest frequency of visiting hair salons once every two to three months, and the most accessible route was near the house/company. Second, as a job group that requires technology, expectations for technology that can produce the style that consumers want were the most. Third, as a result of examining the validity and reliability of the intention to revisit the salon, a single factor was derived as the intention to revisit, and there was no problem with reliability. Fourth, as a result of examining the expected factors and revisit intention of hair salon according to the general characteristics of hair beauty consumers, it was found that style was important for young people and overall service, emotion, and efficiency were expected for the elderly. Fifth, as a result of examining the expected factors of hair salon and revisit intention according to the visit route of hair beauty consumers, it was found that treatment time is important for consumers who value accessibility, and style production is important for consumers who visit through SNS. The results of this study suggest that beauty workers of various paths and ages can be effective in marketing that can build more customers if they recognize differences in satisfaction and loyalty depending on consumers and provide services accordingly.

It is Hard for Journalists to Pray on Time: Commodification of Media Workers in the Digital Age

This study aims to explain the commodification practices of media workers in the digital era, more precisely on iNews TV Semarang, Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques were carried out in the form of observations and interviews with people who work as journalists at iNews TV Semarang. This study shows that journalists experience commodification in the form of absolute exploitation and relative exploitation. Absolute exploitation is seen in the irregular working hours of journalists, resulting in chaos during their worship hours. At the same time, relative exploitation is in the form of intensification of the labor process for journalists, which is carried out by giving multiple assignments. Journalists also get another task: looking for clients for the company's benefit. The commodification that has occurred has also involved processes of alienation, mystification, naturalization, and reification.

Closed-Chain Inverse Dynamics for the Biomechanical Analysis of Manual Material Handling Tasks through a Deep Learning Assisted Wearable Sensor Network.

Despite the automatization of many industrial and logistics processes, human workers are still often involved in the manual handling of loads. These activities lead to many work-related disorders that reduce the quality of life and the productivity of aged workers. A biomechanical analysis of such activities is the basis for a detailed estimation of the biomechanical overload, thus enabling focused prevention actions. Thanks to wearable sensor networks, it is now possible to analyze human biomechanics by an inverse dynamics approach in ecological conditions. The purposes of this study are the conceptualization, formulation, and implementation of a deep learning-assisted fully wearable sensor system for an online evaluation of the biomechanical effort that an operator exerts during a manual material handling task. In this paper, we show a novel, computationally efficient algorithm, implemented in ROS, to analyze the biomechanics of the human musculoskeletal systems by an inverse dynamics approach. We also propose a method for estimating the load and its distribution, relying on an egocentric camera and deep learning-based object recognition. This method is suitable for objects of known weight, as is often the case in logistics. Kinematic data, along with foot contact information, are provided by a fully wearable sensor network composed of inertial measurement units. The results show good accuracy and robustness of the system for object detection and grasp recognition, thus providing reliable load estimation for a high-impact field such as logistics. The outcome of the biomechanical analysis is consistent with the literature. However, improvements in gait segmentation are necessary to reduce discontinuities in the estimated lower limb articular wrenches.

Prostitution Practices of Elderly Commercial Sex Workers in the Perspective of Social Bonds Theory

This article discusses about the social control among community towards the practice of prostitution from elderly commercial sex workers in the Pamulang area, South Tangerang by using social bonds theory with 4 main components, namely attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief. This research was conducted within 5 months in Pamulang, South Tangerang. The subjects of this research amounted to 5 resource persons, namely 3 commercial sex workers, 1 surrounding community, and 1 party from the South Tangerang Social Service. This research implements qualitative approach by descriptive method, with primary and secondary data sources. The result shows that the community is aware about the social deviation of prostitution practice around them, then they reject it by giving a warning. The involvement of community leaders who act as pimps encourages the community to be permissive. The permissive attitude that arises is due to economic factors and weak community conditions. The weak relationship with the family and never making an example of the mistakes she experienced by continuing to choose a job as a commercial sex worker until her elder age. This makes the social control of the community that occurs in the Pamulang area, South Tangerang weak and the practice of prostitution of elderly prostitutes will continue to occur.

Developmental biomechanics and age polyethism in leaf-cutter ants.

Many social insects display age polyethism: young workers stay inside the nest, and only older workers forage. This behavioural transition is accompanied by genetic and physiological changes, but the mechanistic origin of it remains unclear. To investigate if the mechanical demands on the musculoskeletal system effectively prevent young workers from foraging, we studied the biomechanical development of the bite apparatus in Atta vollenweideri leaf-cutter ants. Fully matured foragers generated peak in vivo bite forces of around 100 mN, more than one order of magnitude in excess of those measured for freshly eclosed callows of the same size. This change in bite force was accompanied by a sixfold increase in the volume of the mandible closer muscle, and by a substantial increase of the flexural rigidity of the head capsule, driven by a significant increase in both average thickness and indentation modulus of the head capsule cuticle. Consequently, callows lack the muscle force capacity required for leaf-cutting, and their head capsule is so compliant that large muscle forces would be likely to cause damaging deformations. On the basis of these results, we speculate that continued biomechanical development post eclosion may be a key factor underlying age polyethism, wherever foraging is associated with substantial mechanical demands.

Promoting health and productivity among ageing workers: a longitudinal study on work ability, biological and cognitive age in modern workplaces (PROAGEING study)

BackgroundLarge changes in ageing population and in retirement age are increasing the number of older people in the workforce, raising many challenges for policymakers in promoting employment opportunities and health for older workers. In this respect, longitudinal assessments of workability, well-being perception and cognitive skills over time may allow to detect factors influencing workers’ health. Moreover, new available molecular markers permit the measurement of biological age and age-related changes. Most studies analysed one aspect at time (psychological, biological, labour productivity), without considering their interaction. Aims of the study are to evaluate the relationship between workability, cognitive skills, and biological age in a population of ageing workers; to conduct a cross-sectional analysis to assess the impact of occupational exposures on workability, cognitive skills, and biological age; to evaluate inter-individuals changes in a prospective analysis with a re-evaluation of each worker.MethodsOur study plans to enrol 1000 full-time workers, aged over 50, undergoing the medical surveillance required by the current Italian Legislation. Data collection includes information about: (a) work ability and psychosocial risk factors (work ability index, HSE Management Standard-21 item, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, World Health Organisation-Five, Well-Being Index, job satisfaction, general well-being, technostress); (b) cognitive skills (Stroop Color and Word test, Simon task, Corsi’s block-tapping test, Digit span test); (c) sleep habits and psychological well-being (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Insomnia Severity Index, Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test; Symptom Check List 90, Psychological Well-Being Index, Profile of Mood State, Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Perceived Stress Scale, Brief COPE); (d) biological age (telomere length, DNA methylation) for 500 workers. All workers will repeat the evaluation after one year.DiscussionThis study aims to increase our knowledge about interactions between work ability, cognitive ability, well-being perception and psychological status also by including molecular markers, with a longitudinal and multidisciplinary approach. By bringing better insights into the relationship between risk factors and their impact on perceived and biological health, this study also aims at identifying possible interventions and protective measures to ensure aged workers’ well-being, consistent with all the eminent calls for actions promoted by key International and European labour organizations.

Influencing factors of the treatment level of elderly care workers and their career development prospects

BackgroundThe increasingly aging population in current China has encouraged the emergence of the diversified and multi-level elderly care service industry, and the demand for high-quality elderly life with the help of elderly caregivers continues to grow.MethodsBased on the existing questionnaire data, this article explores the influencing factors of the treatment level of care staff, and explores their future development prospects.ResultsThe results show that whether they have participated in relevant vocational skills competitions, whether they have worked overtime, whether they have overtime wages, and their monthly income have significant effects on their satisfaction of treatment levels. Elderly care workers who have participated in skills competitions are more satisfied about their salary. In addition, workers who rarely and occasionally work overtime are more satisfied compared with those who have never worked overtime; Caregivers with a monthly income of 5,000–6,999 yuan are more satisfied with their salary and treatment than those with below 3,000 yuan. ConclusionTherefore, in order to better match the supply and demand of care workers, we should provide formal training and skill competitions for them, appropriately increase their salary level and reasonably arrange their working hours, so as to attract more professional talents into elderly care industry.

CHANGES IN AMBULATORY BLOOD PRESSURE DURING THE TRANSITION TO RETIREMENT

Objective: Retirement is a major life event characterized by removal of work-related stressors and changes in health behaviours. The association between retirement and changes in blood pressure (BP), and particularly in ambulatory BP, has been scarcely studied. We aimed to examine changes in ambulatory BP during retirement transition. Design and method: Two hundred and fifty ageing workers (mean age 63.2 years, 84% women) from the Finnish Retirement and Aging study participated in annual office BP measurements and 114 (mean age 63.1, 90% women) of them underwent annual ambulatory BP measurements before and after retirement. On average, the participants provided data on ambulatory BP at 2.7 (range 2 - 4) measurements. We used generalized linear models to examine BP changes at retirement. The FIREA study was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki declaration and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Hospital District of Southwest Finland (ETMK: 84/1801/2014). All participants gave written informed consent. Results: Most marked changes in BP during the follow-up were observed for asleep SBP, which decreased before retirement, increased during retirement transition and plateaued after retirement (before retirement vs. retirement transition P = 0.07 and after retirement vs. retirement transition P = 0.02). Awake SBP and 24-h SBP declined with most apparent decrease before retirement (before retirement vs. retirement transition P = 0.07 and P = 0.07). Awake DBP and 24-h DBP showed relatively consistent decline throughout the follow-up with no differences between the time periods. SBP and DBP dipping reduced before and during retirement transition, but not after retirement. Among shift workers, asleep BP increased and BP dipping decreased more than in regular day workers. Conclusions: Retirement was found to associate with beneficial changes in awake BP but unfavourable changes in asleep BP, especially in shift workers.

A profile of students in a university-based distance dementia education program: Implications for policy and practice.

The online program began in 2012 to support aged care workers without a tertiary education or vocational qualification. This paper documents changes in the student profile since initiation of the program, and how the program may support recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety and engage other educators, providers and policymakers. Four hundred and seventy-one commencing undergraduate students completed a 16-item online survey in 2017 to document demographics and reasons for study. Categorical associations were assessed with univariate logistic regression in R v3.6. Most students (71%; 336) were aged between 41 and 60 years but the program now included younger (<41 years) and older (>80 years) people. Unlike the 2012 students, about 41% had tertiary-level qualifications, and 56% were employed in professional positions, including registered nurse, general practitioner and allied health professional. Professional and practice development was the primary reason for study; significantly so for younger (<41 years) participants in aged and dementia care (χ2 (5) = 18.15, p = 0.003) and for those with previous university experience (χ2 (4) = 22.17, p = 0.001). Older (≥61 years) participants enrolled to gain greater knowledge about dementia (χ2 (4) = 17.60, p = 0.002). Understanding the changed student profile guided program refinement to ensure the provision of effective, evidence-based education in dementia understanding and care. Work now focusses on increasing partnerships with aged care organisations, community and postsecondary training institutions to support a continuum of workforce development options, guided by the recommendations of the Royal Commission.

Teleworking to Support Accommodation, Inclusion, and Health of Aging Workers: Protocol for a Study to Design, Validate, and Test a Reflective Application Guide.

Aging workers constitute a growing population in many countries and form an indispensable and qualified resource, especially in the context of the labor shortage. Despite work's many benefits for individuals, organizations, and societies, it also presents several risks and challenges that may lead to occupational injuries. Thus, rehabilitation professionals and managers working with this emerging and unique clientele during their return to work after an absence often lack the tools and skills to support them, especially in the changing world of work that includes the rise of telework. Indeed, as an increasingly present work arrangement, telework has the potential to be used as an accommodation modality that can facilitate inclusion and healthy participation in the workplace. However, the implications of this topic for aging workers require study. This paper presents the protocol of a study that aims to develop a reflective telework application guide to support the accommodation, inclusion, and health of aging workers after an absence from work. Specifically, this study will (1) explore the experience of aging workers, managers, and rehabilitation professionals regarding telework and its impact on accommodation, inclusion, and health; (2) use a validated logic model to design a reflective application guide; and (3) test and evaluate the guide. Following a 3-phase developmental research design, individual interviews with aging teleworkers, managers, and rehabilitation professionals will enable the collection of qualitative data to be used in generating a logic model of levers and good practices, leading to the creation of a reflective application guide. Validation of this guide by workers and managers to measure its acceptability and applicability in daily life will precede its implementation. Data collection began in spring 2023 and initial results are expected in fall 2023. This study aims to generate a concrete tool-namely, the reflective telework application guide-that rehabilitation professionals could use to support managers and aging workers during their return to work through the healthy use of telework. All phases of the study include conducting dissemination activities to share the results of the project and increase its sustainability potential (ie, publication through social networks, podcasts, conferences, and scientific publications). As the first of its kind, this project aims to produce innovative impacts at several levels, including practical, scientific, and societal impacts. In addition, the results will provide healthy solutions to the labor shortage in a changing world of work, where digital and teleworking are becoming increasingly important. DERR1-10.2196/46114.
