The interaction of occupational stress, mental health, and cytokine levels on sleep in Xinjiang oil workers: A cross-sectional study.

BackgroundSleep occupies one third of a person’s life, and good sleep quality is an important factor to ensure good health.PurposeThis study investigated and analyzed the occupational stress, mental health and sleep quality of oil workers, analyzed the effects of occupational stress and mental health on sleep, and explored the effects of the interaction between occupational stress, mental health and cytokines on sleep.Materials and methodsIn this study, stratified cluster random sampling was used to conduct a cross-sectional survey on the occupational stress, mental health and sleep quality of 1,141 oil workers in the Occupational Health Examination Department of Karamay Central Hospital, from June 2019 to January 2020, and 30% of the participants were randomly selected for measurement of their cytokine levels: interleukin 2 (IL-2), interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). The objectives were to analyze the effects of occupational stress and mental health on sleep quality, and to explore the effects of occupational stress, mental disorders and cytokine interactions on sleep.ResultsThere were 646 individuals (56.6%) who suffered from sleep disorders; the incidence of sleep disorders differed according to sex, age, professional title, working years, type of work and shift (P < 0.05). The scores for occupational stress, mental health, and sleep quality were positively correlated (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (30–45 years) (OR = 1.753, 95% CI: 1.067–2.881), junior college and above (OR = 1.473, 95% CI: 1.025–2.118), borehole operation (OR = 2.689, 95% CI: 1.508–4.792), extraction of oil (OR = 2.405, 95% CI: 1.229–4.705), drilling (OR = 1.791, 95% CI: 1.017–3.155), shift work (OR = 2.144, 95% CI: 1.615–2.846), occupational stress (OR = 1.007, 95% CI: 1.002–1.013), and mental disorders (OR = 1.020, 95% CI: 1.009–1.032) are risk factors for sleep disorders. In the high occupational stress group and the mental disorders group as the control group, the results showed that the interaction between IL-2 and moderate occupational stress (OR = 0.778, 95% CI: 0.778–0.942), IL-2 and non-mental disorders (OR = 0.398, 95% CI: 0.398–0.468) were protective factors for the occurrence of sleep disorders. The results of structural equation modeling analysis showed that occupational stress and mental health had positive predictive effects on IL-2 level and sleep quality [normalized path coefficients (β) were 0.10\\0.06\\0.05\\0.71, respectively]. Occupational stress had a direct positive predictive effect on mental disorder (β = 0.25), and sleep disorder had a direct negative predictive effect on IL-2 concentration (β = −0.21).ConclusionOil workers have serious sleep problems, so effective measures should be taken to reduce occupational stress and relieve mental health problems, and cytokine levels can be used as a predictor of sleep disorders.

NIOSH Dampness and Mold Assessment Tool (DMAT): Documentation and Data Analysis of Dampness and Mold-Related Damage in Buildings and Its Application.

Indoor dampness and mold are prevalent, and the exposure has been associated with various illnesses such as the exacerbation of existing asthma, asthma development, current asthma, ever-diagnosed asthma, bronchitis, respiratory infection, allergic rhinitis, dyspnea, wheezing, cough, upper respiratory symptoms, and eczema. However, assessing exposures or environments in damp and moldy buildings/rooms, especially by collecting and analyzing environmental samples for microbial agents, is complicated. Nonetheless, observational assessment (visual and olfactory inspection) has been demonstrated as an effective method for evaluating indoor dampness and mold. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health developed an observational assessment method called the Dampness and Mold Assessment Tool (DMAT). The DMAT uses a semi-quantitative approach to score the level of dampness and mold-related damage (mold odor, water damage/stains, visible mold, and wetness/dampness) by intensity or size for each of the room components (ceiling, walls, windows, floor, furnishings, ventilation system, pipes, and supplies and materials). Total or average room scores and factor-or component-specific scores can be calculated for data analysis. Because the DMAT uses a semi-quantitative scoring method, it better differentiates the level of damage compared to the binary (presence or absence of damage) approach. Thus, our DMAT provides useful information on identifying dampness and mold, tracking and comparing past and present damage by the scores, and prioritizing remediation to avoid potential adverse health effects in occupants. This protocol-type article describes the DMAT and demonstrates how to apply it to effectively manage indoor dampness and mold-related damage.

Effect of Occupational Health and Safety on Performance of National Government Administrative Officers in Nandi County

The study aimed to examine the effect of occupational health and Safety (OHS) on employee performance. The variables in this study draw from Herzberg’s theory, Goal-freedom alertness theory, and the systems theory. Descriptive and exploratory research designs were used to establish the effect of work conditions on the performance of NGAOs in Nandi County, Kenya. The target respondents for the study were County Commissioner, Deputy County Commissioner, Assistant County commissioner and Chiefs in the County. One hundred three respondents were obtained through random sampling and convenience sampling from a population of 139 National Government Administrative Officers (NGAO). The questionnaires were then administered to the respondents and allowed fourteen days before the responses were collected. The respondents were requested to participate and show their willingness to contribute to the items in the questionnaire. The collected data were coded and analysed using the mean and standard deviation, while inferential statistics used regression analysis. Frequency tables, percentages, pie charts and bar graphs were used to present the analysed data. The results of the study showed that the majority of NGAO employees were male, chiefs in designation, aged 36-49 years, married and had been in employment for at least 10 years. The findings of the study showed a strong positive relationship between occupational health and safety and employee performance (r = 0.612, p = .000). The regression model also shows that OHS was positively associated with employee performance (β = 0.232, p &lt; 0.05). Ethical considerations were observed and respondents were made to understand that the findings were only to be used for academic purposes only. The findings of the study have an implication for Kenyan public sector policymakers on the need to improve the working conditions of national government administrative officers

Effects of Occupational Stress, Self-Efficacy and Mental Health During the Pandemic on Hospital Sanitation Workers in Malaysia.

COVID-19 rapidly spread across the world, constituting a public health disaster unlike any other experienced in decades. The impact exerted on workplaces and their employees was dramatic, and an immense burden fell on healthcare provision globally. Along with "front-line" healthcare staff, sanitation workers at hospitals also had to cope with additional workloads, making them vulnerable to psychological trauma and affecting their quality of life at establishments. This study investigated how the factors of occupational stress, self-efficacy (belief in the capacity to carry out a task well) and mental health altered the WRQoL (Work-Related Quality of Life) of employees carrying out sanitation duties at hospitals in Malaysia. To this end, a survey translated into the Malay language was conducted among 449 such workers during a so-called "recovery movement control order", i.e. quarantine and control measures pertaining to an outbreak of Coronavirus disease. Research involved co-variance-based structural equation modeling, performed in IBM-AMOS-26 software, in order to discern the causal relationship of the aforementioned factors on WRQoL. Results revealed a high level of occupational stress, diminished self-efficacy and poor mental health among the employees surveyed. Such stress directly impacted the WRQoL of the second factor alongside an indirect effect on that of the third, i.e. anxiety stemming from potentially catching the virus and the experience of having to disinfect facilities for treating patients, undertake cleaning duties, and move corpses.
