Background: Domestic violence (DV) is associated with serious consequences for victims, children, and families, and even national economies. An emerging literature demonstrates that DV also has a negative impact on workers and workplaces. Less is known about the extent to which people are aware of coworkers' experiences of DV. Methods: Using data from a pan-Canadian sample of 8,429 men and women, we examine: (1) awareness of coworker DV victimization and perpetration; (2) the warning signs of DV victimization and perpetration recognized by workers; (3) whether DV victims are more likely than nonvictims to recognize DV and its warning signs in the workplace; and (4) the impacts of DV that workers perceive on victims'/perpetrators' ability to work. Results: Nearly 40% of participants believed they had recognized a DV victim and/or perpetrator in the workplace and many reported recognizing more than one warning sign. DV victims were significantly more likely to report recognizing victims and perpetrators in the workplace, and recognized more DV warning signs. Among participants who believed they knew a coworker who had experienced DV, 49.5% thought the DV had affected their coworker's ability to work. For those who knew a coworker perpetrating DV, 37.9% thought their coworker's ability to work was affected by the abusive behavior. Conclusion: Our findings have implications for a coordinated workplace response to DV. Further research is urgently needed to examine how best to address DV in the workplace and improve outcomes for victims, perpetrators, and their coworkers.

본 논문에서는 한국의 119 상황 접수 요원들의 업무능력 향상을 위하여 업무와 교육방식의 문제점과 개선방안을 제시하였다. 먼저, 한국 및 미국의 응급전화 접수에 대한 매뉴얼과 교육 방법을 조사 및 비교분석 하였다. 조사내용을 바탕으로 경기도 119상황실 상황접수 요원 95명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 구체적인 개선방안을 검토하였다. 그 결과 119상황 접수와 관련된 인력 및 장비는 지속적으로 보완되고 있지만, 접수요원들에 대한 사전교육 등 훈련은 부족하여 실무에서는 요원들의 개인적인 경험과 역량에 의존하고 있는 실정이었다. 또한 업무에 비하여 전체적으로는 여전히 인력이 부족한 실정이었다. 따라서 119상황접수 요원에 대한 체계적인 교육 프로그램 마련 및 적정한 훈련과 테스트 기준 마련을 통한 상황접수요원의 전문성 강화, 대응 업무의 표준화 및 적정인력을 배치를 통하여 상황 판단의 오류 발생을 방지하고 업무를 체계화할 필요가 있는 것으로 검토 되었다.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors affecting the emergency response ability to develop an education program to strengthen the emergency response ability of caregivers having the highest probability of discovering emergency situations. Methods: This study is a descriptive research study conducted by 204 caregivers working in elderly care facilities and home care centers located in one area. The collected data were analyzed by independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson's correlation, and multiple linear regression using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0 statistical program. Results: First aid knowledge was related to work time (F=3.52, p=.008), number of care people (F=2.58, p=.038), workplace (F=6.76, p=.001), and self-efficacy (F=3.70, p=.026), and the ability to cope with emergency situations showed a statistically significant difference in education level (F=3.58, p=.015). There was a positive correlation between self-efficacy and emergency response ability (r=.179, p<.05), and the factors affecting emergency response ability were education level (β=-.164, p=.050), workplace (β=.290, p=.023), and self-efficacy (β=.103, p=.022). Conclusion : Factors influencing the improvement of caregivers' ability to cope with emergency situations, workplace, education level, and self-efficacy were found. Thus, it is suggested to develop and apply an emergency education program to increase self-efficacy and consider the workplace and educational level.

Background: Chronic nonspecific symptoms attributed to indoor nonindustrial work environments are common and may cause disability, but the medical nature of this disability is unclear. The aim was to medically characterize the disability manifested by chronic, recurrent symptoms and restrictions to work participation attributed to low-level indoor pollutants at workplace and whether the condition shares features with idiopathic environmental intolerance. Methods: We investigated 12 patients with indoor aire-related work disability. The examinations included somatic, psychological, and psychiatric evaluations as well as investigations of the autonomic nervous system, cortisol measurements, lung function, and allergy tests. We evaluated well-being, health, disability, insomnia, pain, anxiety, depression, and burnout via questionnaires. Results: The mean symptom history was 10.5 years; for disabling symptoms, 2.7 years. Eleven patients reported reactions triggered mainly by indoor molds, one by fragrances only. Ten reported sensitivity to odorous chemicals, and three, electric devices. Nearly all had co-occurrent somatic and psychiatric diagnoses and signs of pain, insomnia, burnout, and/or elevated sympathetic responses. Avoiding certain environments had led to restrictions in several life areas. On self-assessment scales, disability showed higher severity and anxiety showed lower severity than in physician assessments. Conclusion: No medical cause was found to explain the disability. Findings support that the condition is a form of idiopathic environmental intolerance and belongs to functional somatic syndromes. Instead of endless avoidance, rehabilitation approaches of functional somatic syndromes are applicable.

Background: A job-specific Worker's Health Surveillance (WHS) for hospital physicians is a preventive occupational health strategy aiming at early detection of their diminished work-related health in order to improve or maintain physician's health and quality of care. This study addresses what steps should be taken to determine the content of a job-specific WHS for hospital physicians and outlines that content. Methods: Based on four questions, decision trees were developed for physical and psychological job demands and for biological, chemical, and physical exposures to decide whether or not to include work-related health effects related to occupational exposures or aspects of health reflecting insufficient job requirements. Information was gathered locally through self-reporting and systematic observations at the workplace and from evidence in international publications. Results: Information from the decision trees on the prevalence and impact of the health- or work-functioning effect led to inclusion of occupational exposures (e.g., biological agents, emotionally demanding situations), job requirements (e.g., sufficient vision, judging ability), or health effects (e.g., depressive symptoms, neck complaints). Additionally, following the Dutch guideline for occupational physicians and based on specific job demands, screening for cardiovascular diseases, work ability, drug use, and alcohol consumption was included. Targeted interventions were selected when a health or work functioning problem existed and were chosen based on evidence for effectiveness. Conclusion: The process of developing a job-specific WHS for hospital physicians was described and the content presented, which might serve as an example for other jobs. Before implementation, it must first be tested for feasibility and acceptability.

Commercially available magnetic barrel machines equipped with permanent magnets have certain limitations: work can only be finished effectively in limited areas of the container because permanent magnets are arranged two-dimensionally on the magnet disk. We overcame this problem by developing a new magnetic barrel machine equipped with a three-dimensional magnet arrangement. The effectiveness of the new machine has already been reported; this study improved the machine's polishing ability by changing the polarity of magnets on a magnet block. Polishing experiments confirmed the most effective arrangement of magnets on the magnet block. An alternating arrangement of north and south poles produced far superior polishing characteristics than a uniform arrangement of the same pole facing outward. Alternating polarity probably causes increased quantities of barrel media to work together. Finally, we introduced stronger permanent magnets to the magnet block, and found that the increased magnetic field also improved polishing ability.
