    Abstract: Psychosocial risks (PSR) represent a new scourge of risks at work. The direct links between these risks and occupational accidents (OA) are not well documented, but some work restraints such as time pressure are common factors for both stress and accidents. Objectives To establish a relationship between different PSR perceived by health staff and the occurrence of OA. Methods Cross-sectional study conducted among staff working at Habib Bourguiba Hospital in Sfax from 1st January to 31 March 2015. The evaluation of mental health was performed by using the validated French version of questionnaire KARASEK. Results The study involved 326 care staff (115 men and 211 women). The average age was 36 years old. The participants were mainly nurses (30.6%) and trainee physicians (35.6%). Blood exposure accidents were predominant (66.1% of cases) and were associated with high psychological demands at work with OR = 2.539 (95% CI [1.037 - 6.219]). Health care workers had a high psychological demand in 85.3% and a low latitude in 78.8% of cases. According to the Karasek model, tense employees accounted for 68.7% and assets 16.6%. OAs occurring during care were associated with night work and working in the emergency and resuscitation department (OR = 5,772 (95% CI [1,227-27,146] and OR = 5,778 (95% CI [1,702 -19,619]) respectively). Conclusions The prevention of OA goes through the management of PSR, which remains a major concern for health and safety workers at work via the application of preventive strategies based on in-depth analysis of work situations.

    Abstract: Being a victim of work-related upper extremity injuries is a source of physical damage and mental damages. Psychological distress related to this type of accident is usually underestimated. Objectives Evaluate anxiety and depression among victims of work-related upper extremity injuries. Methods We conducted a 10-month cross-sectional analysis on workers consulting for an Impairment Rating Evaluation after an upper extremity injury due to an occupational accident. We collected socio-professional data, characteristics and outcomes of the accident. Anxiety and depression were evaluated by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale. The pain was evaluated by a Visual Analogue Scale. Results Our population consisted of 90 cases of work-related upper-extremity injuries. The mean age was 43.10 and the sex ratio 3.7. The most represented category was blue-collar workers (71.1%). Medical history of chronic diseases was reported in 23% of cases and 3.3 % had mental health antecedent. Dominant upper limb injuries were found in 62% of cases. Hand and wrist injuries were the most affected part (63%), and 33.3% had fingers’ injuries. The prevalence of anxiety and depression were 31.1% and 20% respectively. About thirty-one per cent rated their current pain greater than or equal to 8. Both anxiety and depression were positively correlated with male gender (p= 0.001, p=0.007) and shoulder injuries (p=0.001, p=0.018). Depression was correlated to fingers’ injuries and pain (p=0.002). Conclusions The studied population present an important rate of anxiety and depression. Assessing Mental health after upper extremities injuries are necessary to prevent serious mental illness and to promote a successful return to work. Disclosure No significant relationships.

    Abstract: Over the past decades, a growing body of evidence has demonstrated the impact of the psychosocial work environment on workers’ health, safety and wellbeing. These factors may also affect employees ’job satisfaction. Objectives To explore psychosocial determinants of job satisfaction among workers in a Tunisian electricity and gas company. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among male workers in a Tunisian electricity and gas company. The Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ), the Job Content Questionnaire and the general health questionnaire (GHQ12) were used to assess psychosocial risk factors at work. A principal component analysis (PCA) was used to assess correlations between instruments ’scores. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to explore the specific factors associated with job satisfaction. Data were analysed using R software. Results A total of 83 workers participated in the survey (the age range: 21-60 years). Job satisfaction score varied from 0 to 100% with a mean of 73.09 %. In the PCA, job satisfaction had a positive correlation with high social support and a negative one with work-family conflicts, a high psychological demand, stress, burnout and quantitative demands. In multivariate analysis, factors negatively associated with job satisfaction were: age, stress and low social support. In contrast, seniority was positively associated with job satisfaction. Conclusions Job satisfaction is deeply influenced by the psychosocial work environment. Therefore, it is necessary to provide supervision, communication, and social support for these workers to increase or maintain a high level of job satisfaction.

    Abstract: Nursing is highly demanding and stressful profession. Therefore, maintaining and improving psychological wellbeing among nurses seems essential to have a better life satisfaction and a better productivity. Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between mental health and life satisfaction among nurses. Methods The study was conducted in a group of active nurses from Hedi Chaker hospital in Sfax- Tunisia. Standardized questionnaires were used, including the general health questionnaire (GHQ-28) and the satisfaction with life scale (SWLS). Results A total of 100 (males = 40; females = 60) nurses participated in this study. The mean age was 50.20 ±7.20 years. The average of job tenure was 25.25 ± 9.70 years. The majority of participants (66.7%) reported having chronic diseases. Rotating shifts work was noted in 72.50% of cases. Average scores for the GHQ-28 and the SWLS were respectively 30.66 ± 11.07 and 21.61± 6.23. The presence of chronic conditions was associated with psychological distress (higher GHQ-28 scores) (p = 0.01). Life satisfaction score was positively correlated with age (r= 0.29, p= 0.023), whereas it was negatively correlated with GHQ-28 scores (r= -0.36, p= 0.01). Low life satisfaction (SWLS scores between 5 and 14) was significantly associated with three domains of the GHQ-28: somatic symptoms (p = 0.008), anxiety (p = 0.001) and social dysfunction (p = 0.01). Conclusions According to our study, low life satisfaction was associated with psychological disorder. Hence, nurses need support and subsequent interventions in order to improve psychological wellbeing and life-satisfaction. Disclosure No significant relationships.

    Abstract: Risk evaluation is a global process covering different aspects of employee’s workandfamily life. Nowadays, psychosocial risks are as important as physical and chemical risks, and their identification isdeterminant in each workplace. Objectives Our study aimed to assess psychosocial risks among Electricity and Gas Company’s employees and to identify factors related to these risks. Methods A cross sectional study was conducted among male workers in a Tunisian electricity and gas Company. The KRASEK scale was used to assess psychosocial risks. The Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS version 23. Results Among male workers in the company, 83 employees participated in this study. The mean age of our population was 41.28 years± 12.12 years. Manuel labour was identified in 67.5% of cases. High psychological demands were reported by 63.9% of the employees. The assessment of decision latitude dimension identified low autonomy at work in 54.2% of cases. The mean social support scale was 23.73± 4.18. Job strain was identified among 32.5% of participants. Among employees in job strain, twenty-one subjects (77.8%) were affected in the technical division and 21.7% were in “iso strain”. Job strain and iso strain were associated with sedentary workers aged less than 45 years, p values were 0.006 (OR= 5.474; IC 95% [1.477-20.290]) and 0.010 (OR= 4.917; IC 95% [1.353-17.872] ) respectively. However, Iso strain was negatively associated with being married (p=0.038) (0.0327 IC 95% [0.111-0.964]). Conclusions This study highlighted the importance of psychosocial risks in this company. The identification of these risks in the workplace may further help preventers to recommend proper interventions to offer employees a supportive work environment and to enhance their personal and professional well-being.

    Abstract: Working at Covid-19 frontline may threaten physical and mental health healthcare workers (HCWs). Assessing perceived Stress in HCWs is important to prevent serious mental illness Objectives Assess the association between perceived stress and risk perception among healthcare workers working in the Covid-19 unit. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study among healthcare workers working in a COVID-19 unit between March and July 2021 through a self-administered questionnaire. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) was used to assess perceived stress. The perceived risk of getting infected was assessed by a 5-item Likert Scale. The perceived risk of family members’ infection was evaluated by a Scale from 0 to 10. Results A total of 85 participants were included. The mean age was 31±6 years. About 87% of participants lived with their families. Seventy-six per cent of HCWs rated their health status greater than or equal to 8/10. A percentage of 18,8% of HCWs have been infected with the Covid-19. Our population consisted of 44.7% technicians and 24,7% nurses, and 80% of the participants reported direct contact with COVID-19 confirmed patients. The level of the perceived risk of getting infected was high to very high in 95% of the HCWs. The mean score of the perceived risk of family members contracting the virus was 5.7 and 27,1% rated it greater than or equal to 8. The PSS-10 showed moderate and high perceived stress in 82,3% and 7,1% of participants, respectively. Only 10,6% of HCWs presented low-stress perception. Conclusions Frontline healthcare providers have high perceived stress and are at risk of mental health disorders Disclosure No significant relationships.

    Abstract: The medical and scientific communities are continually reporting that night work can increase the risk of certain disorders and have a negative impact on the overall well-being of employees. Objectives This study wanted to examine the impact of night work on physical and psychological well-being of hospital staff. Methods We carried out a cross-sectional study about a representative sample of hospital staff. We used validated self-reporting instruments: the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Subjective Well-being Scale (SWS). Data were analyzed using SPSS-20. Results Our study concerned 519 hospital staffs. More than half were male (53%) and 83.1% had worked in the same position for more than two years. More than half of the participants (51. 3%) considered themselves in very good health. Also 41.5% of participants had a well-being index reduced and 26% of personal had high perceived stress. Correlation analysis had shown that more than one guard at week was associated with high levels of perceived stress ( P = 0.004) and well-being index reduced ( P = 0.000). After adjusting for categories, more than one shift work at week was associated to well-being index reduced with odds ratios of 1.57 (confidence interval 95% [1.07 to 2.30]). Conclusion There is a clear correlation between night work, perceived stress and subjective well-being of different categories of hospital staff. Shift work interferences on health and well-being are complex and multifaceted in their origins and time manifestations, dealing with several aspects of personal characteristics, and working and living conditions. Disclosure of interest The authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

    Abstract: Stress can be described as a dynamic and reciprocal relationship between the person and the environment. Nursing is considered as an occupation with a constellation of circumstances leading to stress. Objectives This study aims to assess perceived stress among staff nurses in Hedi Chaker and Habib bourguiba Hospital from Sfax city, Tunisia Methods Nurses from Hedi Chaker and Habib bourguiba University hospitals in Sfax- Tunisia were invited to complete a structured self-report questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of the following parts: Perceived Stress Scale (10-item form), personal data and information relevant to types of work shifts and years of experience. Results A total of 146 (males = 49; females = 97) nurses participated in this study. The mean age was 37 years. Nearly 82 % of the participants considered themselves in very good health. Rotating shifts work was noted in 72.50% of cases. The average length of working experience was 7.96 years. The stress in most of nurses was in severe level (74.65%), followed by mild (23.28%) and moderate (2.05%) levels. High level of perceived stress was significantly associated with general health problems (P= 0.032). No significant association was found between level of perceived stress, types of work shifts and years of experience. Conclusions The results show a significantly high level of stress among staff nurses. Hence, nurses need support and subsequent interventions to cope with stress. Actions in this direction may contribute to the improvement of health, well-being and quality of life of the professionals. Conflict of interest No significant relationships.

    Abstract: Post-traumatic stress disorder frequently alters the quality of life. Objectives Assess the quality of life in midwives who have post-traumatic stress disorder. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study among midwives in a single university hospital centre using a self-administered questionnaire. We screened post-traumatic stress disorder using the Impact of event scale and the quality of life using 5 items Likert scale. Results Our response rate was 82%. Out of 42 midwives who answered us, 18 had post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms (42.8%). They were all female. Their mean age was 45.6± 10.3 years. The traumatic event occurred mainly at work and was related to the death of a mother or a baby. Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms were severe in 5 midwives. The quality of life was altered in 38.8% of participants. Both post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms and alteration of the quality of life were more frequent in patients who don’t have leisure activities. Conclusions In conclusion, midwives are vulnerable to developing post-traumatic stress disorder. Encouraging sports and other leisure activities may protect them from having severe repercussions on their life. Disclosure No significant relationships.
