Do job demands and resources differ between permanent and temporary eldercare workers in Sweden?

Eldercare organizations face high sickness absence rates and staff turnover and rely heavily on temporary workers to fill staffing gaps. Temporary workers may experience differences in job demands and resources compared with permanent workers, but this has been largely understudied. To compare perceived job demands and resources between permanent and temporary Swedish eldercare workers. Permanent and temporary eldercare workers in a Swedish municipality were invited to answer a digital survey on work environment conditions. Differences between permanent and temporary workers in job demands and resources were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance adjusted for age, sex, place of birth, and percent of full-time work and univariate analyses were conducted to consider differences in specific factors. A total of 1076 permanent and 675 temporary workers received the survey, and the final study sample included 451 permanent and 151 temporary workers. Multivariate analyses revealed that temporary workers reported statistically significant lower job demands compared to permanent workers, but no statistically significant differences in resources were found between the groups. Univariate analyses showed that temporary workers reported lower quantitative demands, perceived exertion, and time spent bending forward, than permanent workers. These data suggest comparable support across groups, but a higher workload among permanent workers. Our findings indicate that temporary workers experienced lower job demands than permanent workers, but that no notable difference was found in resources. Interventions aimed at distributing job demands more evenly among eldercare workers with different employment forms may be necessary.

Divergent effects of visual interfaces on teleoperation for challenging jobsite environments

In challenging work environments, teleoperation has been adopted for executing tasks over long distances, ensuring worker safety off-site. The physical distance from jobsites typically poses challenges to teleoperators, limiting their cognition and perception of sites. Particularly, these human-machine interface challenges vary depending on the work environment conditions. This paper analyzes the impact of different visual interfaces on teleoperators and their work performance in challenging jobsite environments, using interactive workplace modeling and simulation to execute teleoperation tasks. Based on experiments with 33 subjects in construction-related fields with industrial experience, the study observed data overload problems and distraction with effects varying by work environment. Additionally, the analysis includes how their eye gaze patterns could demonstrate these effects. The findings contribute valuable insights into human factors crucial for designing user-centered teleoperation interfaces in construction, forming the basis for an intuitive and informative interface design in task-specific settings.

Underground coal gangue recognition based on composite fusion of feature and decision

Abstract The underground coal gangue separation and in-situ filling can reduce environmental pollution, promote the recycling of resources, and ensure the safe operation of mining. However, the harsh environment and abnormal working conditions are a significant challenge to the separation technology. Therefore, it is essential to develop a coal gangue classification method that is highly accurate, robust, and can handle abnormal working conditions. To address the above problems, this paper innovatively combines spectral modalities with image modalities to establish a multimodal fusion idea of composite fusion. Firstly, the feasibility of spectral-image fusion and effective fusion criterion are explored under the concat fusion strategy through various feature combinations and classification algorithms under ideal conditions to improve the performance of the model; Secondly, feature fusion is introduced into the single-layer perceptron and its potential in deep learning is explored to improve the performance of the model; Then the quantitative criteria of the judgment matrix are improved based on the analytical hierarchy method (AHP) to improve the scientificity and objectivity of decision making; Finally, the effectiveness of our method is verified by testing the bimodal dataset of simulated working conditions. The results show that the accuracy of the composite fusion of spectral and image features reaches 91.43%, and our AHP can be applied to all basic model scenarios, which makes the method highly applicable and feasible. The fusion of deep neural networks shows the strong potential of modal fusion in deep learning. This method can provide a new idea for intelligent separation of underground coal gangue.

Economic evaluation of a psychological surveillance and support programme in the UK police force

PurposePolice officers in the UK frequently experience traumatic events and work pressures, and these can have a detrimental impact on mental health. A psychological surveillance programme has been implemented and clinically evaluated. This paper reports an economic evaluation of the programme.Design/methodology/approachA decision analytic model was developed to explore programme costs, outcomes and return on investment for a notional cohort of 1,000 police personnel (officers and staff). The model parameters were obtained from a large data set of sequential psychological surveillance results. Changes in individual work productivity were derived from a workability measure included in the survey.FindingsThe modelled expected total cost incurred to screen 1,000 participants was £84,287 ($106,971). The expected net increase in work productivity for those receiving interventions was valued at £241,672 ($306,713). This result represents a return on investment of 187%. Sensitivity analyses showed that the model was robust to changes in key parameters.Research limitations/implicationsPolice personnel experiencing traumatic events may need specialist support from occupational health services or psychological therapy. Screening or surveillance can detect mental health problems, but its cost-effectiveness has been previously unknown.Practical implicationsThe value for money of providing surveillance within the police force to detect mental health problems is assessed in this research. The gains in terms of increased work are evident. In similar environmental working conditions, this could extend to emergency services globally.Social implicationsThe police are often called upon to deal with the lowest points in people’s lives. The findings have implications for police forces wishing to support officers to be able to provide the best of themselves in these situations.Originality/valueThere have been no previous studies in policing that have concluded that running a psychological surveillance programme in policing is financially viable. Although this requires initial investment, this paper models that the extra costs incurred are more than offset by improved work productivity.

The Working Environment in Primary Healthcare Outpatient Facilities: Assessment of Physical Factors and Health Professionals' Perceptions of Working Environment Conditions.

The objectives of this study were to assess the adequacy of physical parameters/factors (temperature, relative humidity, noise, and illuminance levels) of the work environment in PHC facilities, to evaluate the association between the adequacy of these measured physical parameters and the physical characteristics of the PHC facilities and their surroundings and to assess the association between health professionals' perceptions about exposure to physical risks in the PHC work environment and the adequacy of physical parameters measured in the same facilities. The study monitored 23 PHC facilities in southern Brazil and interviewed 210 health professionals. Data analysis involved Pearson's chi-square, Fisher's exact test, Spearman's correlation, and multivariate linear regression analysis was used to control for confounding factors. The significance level was set at 5% (p ≤ 0.05). The combination of temperature and relative humidity presented thermal comfort levels outside the adopted criteria for adequacy in consultation (outdoor relative humidity, p = 0.013) and procedure rooms (front door open, p = 0.034). Inadequate sound comfort (noise) levels in the morning shift were found in the vaccination (front door open, p = 0.021) and consultation rooms (movement of people, p = 0.016). In PHC facilities where reception rooms had insufficient lighting, internal curtains were opened less frequently (p = 0.047). The analysis of health professionals' perceptions of physical factors demonstrated that physicians more frequently perceive the physical risk of temperature and humidity (p = 0.044). The higher the number of nurses (p = 0.004) and oral health technicians in the PHC facilities (p = 0.031), the greater the general percentage of adequacy of monitored physical parameters. It was also confirmed that the higher the perception of moderate or severe physical risk among health professionals, the lower the general percentage of the adequacy of the physical parameters of the work environment of the PHC facilities evaluated (rs = -0.450, p = 0.031). This study's evidence contributes to a better understanding of physical conditions and future occupational interventions to ensure the comfort, safety, and well-being of PHC workers.
