A decade analysis of employees’ well-being and performance while working from home: a bibliometric approach

Purpose Work-from-home (WFH) has gained popularity over the past years. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis to systematically review and synthesize scholarly literature on the complex interplay between WFH, employee well-being and performance. Design/methodology/approach The study incorporates analysis of the bibliometric including performance analysis, content analysis and scientific mapping that is applied to 497 Scopus papers. VOSviewer software was used to evaluate the data. Findings This study posits an imbalance between the count of documents and the citations earned by each author. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health was regarded as a leading journal with maximum citations and publications. The highest count of publications came from most Asian countries such as India, China, Indonesia and Japan. The investigation indicated that the writers with the maximum citations were predominantly the authors of the majorly cited papers. Further, the text mining through co-occurrence of keyword analysis generated five clusters and cocited references revealed three themes. Practical implications The current research might benefit both research groups as well as human resource professionals since it also reveals the research necessity and gaps in the WFH domain. Originality/value This research delves into unexplored facets of WFH beyond traditional studies over the past decade by examining remote work arrangements in today’s economy, revealing previously unnoticed dynamics affecting employee well-being and performance. This innovative viewpoint enhances the literature and provides an empirical foundation for strategic organizational decision-making and future study.

Indigenous community engagement requirements for academic journals

This commentary emerged from an Indigenous research ethics and governance gathering and a scoping review completed by a diverse team of Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, which includes some of the co-authors of this article. A lack of detail regarding whether and how community engagement was carried out and reported in the context of published Indigenous health research in the Atlantic region of Canada were identified. This commentary builds on this work as well as other published works that emphasize the need to further ensure that Indigenous research is community based if not community led. Moreover, this commentary lends support to important changes to journal submission requirements regarding Indigenous health research submissions recently made at the Canadian Journal of Public Health through the work of Senior Editor Dr Janet Smylie and colleagues.

Physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep across lifespan in adults across European countries: Background and design

Introduction
 Regular physical activity (PA) has benefits for health throughout the lifespan. PA benefits musculoskeletal, cardio metabolic health, and overall well-being (Kapoor et al., 2022). However, data from 2017 shows that about 55-83% of women and 47-74% of men from European countries (EU) do not meet these guidelines (Lübs et al,. 2018). Moreover, adults at the age of 40-54 (aOR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.52-0.81) and 55-64 (aOR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.49-0.77) are less likely to have moderate or high levels of PA in comparison with those 18-24 years of age. (Nikitara et al., 2021). Sedentary behavior (SB) including activities such as watching television, playing computer games, browsing the internet has increased (Wang et al., 2019). Canada has an established track record in the development of 24-hour movement guidelines on PA, SB, and sleep. They have previously release guidelines for all age groups. Following Canada’s lead, several jurisdictions including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa have incorporated the 24-hour movement concepts (Tremblay, 2020). There is a lack of data for 24-hour behavior guideline in the European context. There are no specific recommendations on SB and sleep. Therefore, this project will present the background, methods and design of a 24-hour movement summary of behaviors (PA, SB and sleep) in Europe.
 Methods
 We will utilize existing PA, SB and sleep data from the World Health Organization on European adults 18+. Analysis using mean, median, and 95% confidence Intervals, will be complemented by frequency distributions and histograms. These will be stratified by age and sex subgroups for a more comprehensive overview.
 Results
 The findings from this research have the potential to inform surveillance efforts, shape policies and public health strategies, improve overall well-being, and contribute to the development of evidence-based guidelines.
 Discussion/Conclusion
 Implications of this research may inform researchers on further questions to pursue, policy makers in resource allocation, and practitioners on where to focus intervention efforts.

Navigating the Nexus between Rural Revitalization and Sustainable Development: A Bibliometric Analyses of Current Status, Progress, and Prospects

Achieving sustainable rural development is challenging. However, revitalizing the rural economy is one of the most suitable strategies to overcome sustainable development problems. The rural revitalization strategy aims to create an idealized sustainable development model for rural areas which can avoid the current crisis and utilize institutional advantages to overcome the survival challenges of mostly small-scale peasant economies. The logic of the rural revitalization strategy lies in its essential value implication and practical orientation for consolidating the foundation in rural areas, including its characteristics and its ability to realize long-term sustainable development. There is growing interest in research on rural revitalization and sustainable development, but the current status, trends, and progress are unknown. This study examines the most recent advancements in research patterns for rural revitalization and the promotion of sustainable development from 1995 to 2023. It accomplishes this by thoroughly evaluating and analyzing published scholarly material. We performed a bibliometric analysis of the literature obtained from the Scopus database using VOS Viewer software version 1.6.15. We examined a total of 403 articles and evaluated them, focusing on the precise terms “Rural Revitalization” and “Sustainable Development”. We found that post-2018, there has been a notable surge in the popularity and acceptance of research related to these topics. China ranks first in terms of publishing the greatest number of research articles. The journal Sustainability has published the most articles on sustainable development and rural revitalization, followed by Land and the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. The Journal of Rural Studies published the most cited document. Exciting research areas include the conservation of natural resources, ecosystem cities, and rural revitalization strategies. The research findings thoroughly evaluate academic output and propose thematic areas for further investigation.

The ecocycle is essential in extending the sustainable development cycle for human health and well-being. It needs to be highlighted to see what issues are behind the crossing of issues circulating so far. This research aims to explore ecocycle studies for human well-being and health during 2000-2023. A suitable bibliometric study has been conducted that visualizes the evolution and development trend of the selected studies, themes distribution, trails, keywords, and other metrics, which have been highlighted using the Biblioshiny tool derived from the R-studio package. The results found that the ecocycle for human well-being and health study has fluctuated in its evolution of publication trends, but impacts have been addressed each annual year. Prescott S.L. is a scholar who actively publishes papers, and an article by Miller K.E published in 2010 is the most cited article (n=867). The journal “International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health” was the leading source of topics, and “University of Toronto” had the most affiliates. Furthermore, the United States served as a prolific country; trending topics such as sustainability, ecology, and mental health were among the top three. Likewise, well-being was a popular theme of research, whereby variable factors of physiology were closely coordinated. In addition, depression, inflammation, biophilosophy, and zoonosis are also featured in ecocycle studies for human well-being and health for recent publications and are expected to become future study directions.

Correlation of Fasting and Postprandial Blood Glucose with Hba1c in monitoring Glycemic Control of Diabetic Patients in FCT Abuja, Nigeria

Achieving glycemic control or reduction of hyperglycemia would significantly decrease most of the complications associated with hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus. It has been stated that measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) remains the gold standard for the assessment of glycemic control; there is no consensus whether the Fasting or Postprandial is a better predictor of glycemic control in poor resource setting where HbA1C is not easily accessed or available. The aim of this research is to determine fasting and postprandial plasma glucose and their correlation with HbA1C in glycemic control. A cross sectional case control study was carried out from January, 2023 to July, 2023; a total of 203 participants were recruited into the study. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2 hours post prandial blood glucose (2HPBG) were determined in all the subjects using the enzymatic glucose oxidase method for glucose estimation according to the instruction of the manufacturer, while HbA1C was determined using Boroaffinity Chromatographic method according to the instruction of the manufacturer. Statistical data analysis was carried out using SPSS software (Version 25.0, IBM Corp., Armonk, New York USA), and p<0.001 were defined as statistically significant; the correlation between the parameters was carried out using Pearson’s correlation. Both the FBG and the 2HPBG showed positive correlation with HbA1C in the diabetic and control subjects; however, the level of correlation varies. The correlation of FBG and 2HPBG with HbA1C is directly proportional to the concentration of blood glucose level. The FBG for the control and the subjects are 7.40±1.59 and 143.67±5.01, with HbA1C of 4.45±0.05; 6.26±1.47 respectively. The 2HPBG for the control and the subjects are 120.70±1.75 and 192.92±7.05, with HbA1C of 5.56±0.07; 7.82±0.22 respectively. The FBG correlation to HbA1C is r= 0.875, p<0.001; while 2HPBG is r= 0.908, NEWPORT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND PHARMACY (NIJPP) Volume 4 Issue 2 2023 OPEN ACCESS ©NIJPP ONLINE ISSN: 2992-5479 Publications 2023 PRINT ISSN: 2992-605X Page | 10 p<0.001. The study showed positive correlation of FBG and 2HPBG with HbA1C, since HbA1C is the value of the percentage concentration of glucose at a given period of time; FBG, 2HPBG and HbA1C can be used to evaluate the degree of glycemic control in diabetic patients’ management, in order to minimize or avoid diabetic complications. Keywords: FBG, PBG, Diabetes, HbA1C, Correlation, Complications

Differences in the pattern of influencing factors on instrumental activities of daily living in persons at different stages of mildly impaired cognition

AbstractBackgroundInstrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) are crucial for a person’s autonomy. A better understanding of potentially influencing factors at different levels of cognitive impairment is relevant for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Therefore, we aimed to explore whether the pattern of influencing factors varies between persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia.MethodWe exploratively extended the secondary analysis of a cohort, including persons with amnestic (a‐)MCI and mild Alzheimer’s dementia (MD). We fitted linear regression models to the data within the two subgroups, with IADL as the response variable measured using the Brussels Integrated Activities of Daily Living Inventory (BIA) [1]. Selection of the predictors followed a multi‐step approach, including criterion‐based model selection and model fit. We used multivariate imputation by chained equations to estimate the coefficients of the final models and standardized coefficient estimates to relate and compare the effects of the predictors.ResultPersons with a‐MCI (n = 64, mean age 81.7 years, 69% females) and with MD (n = 41, mean age 82.3 years, 73% females) differed in their mean BIA scores (p<0.001). In persons with MCI, the final model (R2 = 0.46) included memory, attention, executive function, mobility, balance, vision, hearing, education, and living situation. Mobility was the only significant predictor and the predictor with the most considerable effect, followed by memory and attention. The final model (R2 = 0.21) in persons with MD included the same predictors; however, executive function and attention were derived from other assessments. The predictors with the most considerable effect were the living situation, mobility, and executive function, yet none was significant.ConclusionThe pattern of potentially influencing factors on IADL functioning differs between persons with aMCI and MD. Our results suggest that physical function plays an essential role in IADL functioning in persons with aMCI, whereas in MD, no significant predictor was detected. Furthermore, our results indicate that IADL functioning may be used to differentiate between diagnostic groups.[1] De Vriendt P, Cornelis E, Cools W, Gorus E.

Comment on Marsigliante et al. Effects on Children's Physical and Mental Well-Being of a Physical-Activity-Based School Intervention Program: A Randomized Study. Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2023, 20, 1927.

We conducted a critical review of the article "Effects on Children's Physical and Mental Well-Being of a Physical-Activity-Based School Intervention Program: A Randomized Study", published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health in 2023 as part of the Special Issue "Psychomotricity and Physical Education in School Health". We identified multiple mistakes in the statistical analyses applied. First, the authors claim to have found a statistically significant association between the proposed intervention and change in body composition (body mass index (BMI) percentiles, relative fat mass, and BMI classes) by way of exhibiting differences in nominal significance between the pre- and post-intervention changes within the control and intervention groups, instead of exhibiting a significant difference between groups. Furthermore, the analysis described fails to account for clustering and nesting in the data. The reporting of the statistical methods and results include multiple elements that are variously incorrect, incoherent, or impossible. Revised statistical analyses are proposed which can render the study's methods valid and its results substantiated, whereas the current methods and results are invalid and unsubstantiated, respectively.

Worldwide scientific efforts on nursing in the field of SARS-CoV-2: a cross-sectional survey analysis.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been a global public health issue. This study aimed to characterize global nursing research on SARS-CoV-2. Nursing-related publications through December 31, 2022, were identified using Scopus. The number of studies, study types, countries, institutions, journals, authors, h-index, total confirmed cases, total deaths, and the highest-cited studies were investigated. In total, 12,427 studies were identified. The number of studies increased rapidly, particularly between 2020 and 2021, with a 2.36-fold increase. The United States published the most studies (3,289, 26.47%), followed by the United Kingdom (1,059, 8.52%) and China (877, 7.06%). Scientific productivity significantly correlated with the total confirmed cases (r = 0.701, p = 0.024) and total deaths (r = 0.804, p = 0.005). The United States had the highest h-index (80), followed by China (59), and the United Kingdom (57). The University of Toronto published the most studies (181), followed by Harvard Medical School (165), and the University of São Paulo (107). Gravenstein S (23) was the most prolific author, followed by Mor V (22), and Rosa WE (19). The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health published the most papers (436), followed by PLOS ONE (219), and BMJ Open (185). Several countries, institutions, journals, and authors contributed greatly to SARS-CoV-2-related nursing studies. Countries with larger numbers of confirmed cases and deaths tended to publish more nursing studies. The United States, United Kingdom, and China had the highest quantity and quality of studies.

Mapping the knowledge structure and trends in Australian Indigenous health and wellbeing research from 2003 to 2022: a scientometric analysis

The health and wellbeing of Australian Indigenous peoples is a nationally sanctioned priority, but despite this, few studies have comprehensively analyzed the features and characteristics of the research in the field. In this regard, a comprehensive scientometric analysis and knowledge mapping to systematically summarize and discuss the current state of research, research trends, and emerging areas of research were conducted. Original articles and reviews published between 2003 and 2022 were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection. CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were used to perform scientometric analysis and knowledge mapping. An examination of document and citation trends, authors, institutions, countries/regions, journals, and keywords was untaken, while co-citation, co-occurrence, and burst analysis provide insights and future development in this area. A total of 2,468 documents in this field were retrieved. A gradual increase in the number of documents over the past two decades is observed, with the number of documents doubling every ~7.5 years. Author Thompson SC and Charles Darwin University published the most documents, and 85.6% were affiliated with only Australian-based researchers. The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health is the most prominent journal publishing in the field. The most commonly co-occurring keyword was “health,” and the keyword “risk” had the longest citation burst. Five keyword clusters were identified; “cultural safety” was the largest. This study articulates the knowledge structure of the research, revealing a shift from population-level and data-driven studies to more applied research that informs Indigenous peoples health and wellbeing. Based on this review, we anticipate emergent research areas to (1) reflect a more comprehensive understanding of the multidimensional factors that shape Indigenous health and wellbeing; (2) move beyond a deficit-based perspective; (3) respect cultural protocols and protect the rights and privacy of Indigenous participants; (4) address racism and discrimination within the healthcare system; (5) foster respectful, equitable, and collaborative research practices with Indigenous peoples; (6) provide culturally appropriate and effective interventions for prevention, early intervention, and treatment; and (7) ensure equitable change in systems to enhance access, quality, and outcomes in health and wellbeing.

Which journal indicator to consider when submitting a paper on Public Health area?

Abstract Background Each journal metric has a one-of-a-kind algorithm with unique strengths and limitations. This study aims to explore the correlations among the journal metrics of the Public Health, Environmental, and Occupational Health (PHEOH) journals to help inform researchers’ decisions on their publications. Methods We included the first 300 journals listed in the PHEOH area by SCImago. Journal Impact Factor (JIF), SCImago journal rank indicator (SJR), CiteScore (CS), h-index, and Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) indexes were obtained for every journal, between 01 August-30 September 2022. We performed bivariate Spearman ranking correlations, with SPSS 26.0. The statistical significance level was p < 0.05. Results There were very strong correlations between JIF&CiteScore (r = 0.831, p < 0.05), SJR & JIF (r = 0.817, p < 0.05), and SJR & SNIP (r = 0.829, p < 0.05). There were strong correlations between JIF & SNIP, CiteScore & SNIP, and SJR & CiteScore (r = 0.760, p < 0.05; r = 0.772, p < 0.05; r = 0.792, p < 0.05 respectively). There was a moderate correlation between the h-index and CiteScore (r = 0.414, p < 0.05); weak correlations between the h-index&JIF (r = 0.263, p < 0.05), and the h-index&SNIP (r = 0.310, p < 0.05). Among the top 50 journals, the correlations between JIF& CiteScore (r = 0.795, p < 0.05), SJR & JIF (r = 0.631, p < 0.05), and SJR&SNIP (r = 0.601, p < 0.05) were strong. Moderate correlations were found between JIF&SNIP (r = 0.593, p < 0.05), CiteScore&SNIP (r = 0.550, p < 0.05), and SJR&CiteScore (r = 0.505, p < 0.05). There were no correlations between h-index&JIF (r = 0.140, p = 0.354), h-index&CiteScore (0.194, p = 0.176), h-index&SNIP (0.055, p = 0.704), and h-index&SJR (r = 0.275, p = 0.053). Conclusions Our study highlights that there is instability in the correlations among mentioned metrics. Journal metrics, especially the h-index, should be carefully evaluated by the researchers before submitting any manuscript to a journal in the PHEOH category. Key messages • Journal metrics are not highly correlated in the public health area. • Researchers should carefully consider all metrics before publication, especially h-index.

3.N. Skills building seminar: Publishing and disseminating your research: How to get published, and what then?

Abstract Getting your public health research published can be a real challenge, and the publishing process is not always clear. Often it takes a lot of time, effort and perseverance. In this skills-building workshop, participants will be able to learn the ropes from the Editor-in-Chief and the Publisher (OUP) of the European Journal of Public Health (EJPH), EUPHA's scientific Journal. The EJPH is a well-established multidisciplinary, Open Access journal that covers a broad scope of public health topics. It's 2021 impact factor is 4.424. The workshop will have the format of an interactive clinic and will start with short presentations by the Editor-in-Chief of the EJPH and the Publisher, on how to write, how to disseminate your findings and tools the publisher has for helping promote your research for the best impact. The Editor-in-Chief will focus on what makes manuscripts attractive to editors and reviewers, while the publisher will give an overview of the publishing process, important aspects of the wider publishing industry (including Open Access) and give authors tips of how to promote their articles post-publication. After that, there will be ample time for participants to ask their questions to the panellists. This skills-building workshop will be of interest to anyone who would like to increase their chances of getting published and who would like to learn more about creating impact with their publications. The session should in particular be helpful for young researchers who do not have a lot of publishing experience yet. Key messages • Think about relevance to public health, and what your research adds to science and policy. • Think about what tools you can use to disseminate your findings. Speakers/Panelists Peter Allebeck Karolinska Institute, Department of Global Public Health, Stockholm, Sweden Rachel Moriarty Oxford University Press, Oxford, UK

In what ways are HR analytics and artificial intelligence transforming the healthcare sector?

Our Special Issue is focused on the healthcare sector relevant to the Asia Pacific region, including hospitals, aged care facilities, allied health, doctors, nurses, management and administration staff and all services associated with the healthcare industry. There are a range of issues that impact on healthcare including the growing use of health services during the pandemic, emergency situations, complex forms of technology, worker expectations, work intensification, and government reporting requirements. More research needs to be carried out in these issues as well as social policy, the delivery and quality of patient care, gender in the workplace, disability, and management innovation (Cooke and Bartram, 2015; Human Resource Management, 2015, 54, 711). There are high levels of stress due to staff being overworked and experiencing a lack of coping skills (Pariona‐Cabrera et al., 2023; Health Care Management Review, 2023, 48, 42), burnout manifestations through emotional exhaustion (Maslach, 2017; Consulting Psychology Journal: Practice and Research, 2017, 69, 143) which often result in intention to leave (Holland et al., 2019; Applied Nursing Research, 2019, 49, 70; Pariona‐Cabrera, Cavanagh and Bartram, 2020; Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2020, 76, 1581; Shao et al., 2023; Human Resource Management Journal, 2023, 33,187). In Australia, more than 70% of 366,000 nurses working in aged care facilities have reported at least one experience of workplace violence during the previous 12 months including physical and verbal violence from residents, relatives, and visitors (Schablon et al., 2018; International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2018, 15, 1274). There are too many managers who rely on underdeveloped HR processes and outdated management perceptions to make decisions about the well‐being of healthcare staff. Countries in the Asia‐Pacific region are actively seeking partnership projects and new ways to enhance the performance of healthcare staff and their organisations. We have touched on broad issues here and argue it is possible some of the answers can be found in the use of HR analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).

To err is human; to be perfect is AI: embracing mistakes as a catalyst for human formation development.

In a culture overwhelmed by the quest for perfection, thereby committing acts like intellectual dishonesty, erring is left to be a valuable human experience. Recent articles in the Oxford Journal of Public Health explore the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) technology on human relationships in different settings. It is crucial to acknowledge the potential benefits of AI while also being mindful of its possible misuse. As AI technology becomes more integrated into our daily lives, pursuing perfection propels its advancement. However, using AI technology to pursue perfection may adversely affect people's mental health. In this paper, I argue that pursuing perfection can harm one's well-being. Instead, it is crucial to acknowledge and embrace one's mistakes to foster personal growth and development.
