The annual costs of cardiovascular diseases and mental disorders attributable to job strain in France.

2013

International audience; BACKGROUND: Work stress has become a major occupational risk factor in industrialized countries and an important economic issue. The objective was to estimate the annual costs of coronary heart diseases (CHD) and mental disorders (MD) attributable to job strain exposure according to Karasek's model in France for the year 2003 from a societal perspective. METHODS: We produced attributable fraction estimates which were applied to the number of cases (morbidity and mortality) and the costs of CHD and MD. Relative risk estimates came from a systematic literature review of prospective studies. We conducted meta-analyses based on this selection of studies. Prevalence of ex…

767 Healthy enterprise standard(hes) evaluation: analysing effects and cost-benefit results with a qualitative evaluation of implementation process

2018

Introduction The Healthy Enterprise Standard (HES) is related to a certification program in Quebec (Canada) and targets four areas: Lifestyle, Work-life balance, Workplace environment and Management practices. The aim of this study was to open the black box of intervention and analyse the implementation process in order to interpret effects of HES on health and workplace risk factors, and cost-benefit results from the employer’s perspective. Methods We used a before-after design for a two-case analysis with a mixed-method approach. In two organisations from different sectors, quantitative data were collected with a questionnaire among all active workers before the standard’s implementation …

Le poids imputable à l’exposition au stress au travail en termes économiques et de santé publique : enjeux et écueils méthodologiques

2012

L’estimation de l’effet du stress au travail sur le nombre de cas de pathologies (morbidite et mortalite) et les couts economiques associes constitue un reel enjeu de sante publique. Pourtant les etudes qui portent sur ce sujet sont peu nombreuses dans la litterature. L’objectif de l’article est de souligner l’interet d’un tel chiffrage, de presenter brievement une methode d’estimation envisageable, celle des fractions attribuables, et les difficultes methodologiques qui lui sont associees. Cette methode utilise des donnees epidemiologiques de risque relatif associe a un facteur de risque donne, et de prevalence d’exposition a ce facteur. Les difficultes methodologiques soulevees par l’util…

Psychosocial work factors and sickness absence in 31 countries in Europe

2013

International audience; Background: The studies on the associations between psychosocial work factors and sickness absence have rarely included a large number of factors and European data.

Methods: The study population consisted of 14 881 male and 14 799 female workers in 31 countries from the 2005 European Working Conditions Survey. Psychosocial work factors included the following: decision latitude, psychological demands, social support, physical violence, sexual harassment, discrimination, bullying, long working hours, s…

Economic evaluations of ergonomic interventions preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders: a systematic review of organizational-level interv…

2017

Background Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) represent a major public health problem and economic burden to employers, workers and health insurance systems. This systematic review had two objectives: (1) to analyze the cost-benefit results of organizational-level ergonomic workplace-based interventions aimed at preventing WMSD, (2) to explore factors related to the implementation process of these interventions (obstacles and facilitating factors) in order to identify whether economic results may be due to a successful or unsuccessful implementation. Methods Systematic review. Studies were searched in eight electronic databases and in reference lists of included studies. Companio…

Objectives To estimate the annual costs of coronary heart diseases (CHD) and mental disorders (MD) attributable to job strain exposure according to Karasek’s model in France for the year 2003 from a societal perspective. Method We produced attributable fraction estimates which were applied to the number of cases (morbidity and mortality) and the costs of CHD and MD. Relative risk estimates came from a systematic literature review of prospective studies. We conducted meta-analyses based on this selection of studies. Prevalence of exposure to job strain came from the national SUMER survey conducted in France in 2003. Results Between 8.8 and 10.2% of CHD morbidity and between 9.4 and 11.2% of …

Capital humain et coûts de friction

2009

Cet article propose une nouvelle approche de la confrontation entre les methodes du capital humain (mch) et des couts de friction (mcf) pour estimer les pertes de production liees a la maladie. Il defend l’idee que leur pertinence peut etre apprehendee sur la base de deux criteres : le type d’absence au travail considere (maladie ou deces) et le mode d’evaluation employe (analyse cout-efficacite, cout-utilite, etc.). Il elabore alors des recommandations d’utilisation de la mch et de la mcf visant a eviter les sur ou les sous-comptabilisations des effets de la maladie. L’analyse souligne que ces deux methodes ne devraient pas etre systematiquement opposees mais peuvent etre utilisees de mani…

Exposure to psychosocial work factors in 31 European countries

2012

Background Although psychosocial work factors are recognized as major occupational risk factors, little information is available regarding the prevalence of exposure to these factors and the differences in exposure between countries. Aims To explore the differences in various psychosocial work exposures between 31 European countries. Methods The study was based on a sample of 14,881 male and 14,799 female workers from the 2005 European Working Conditions Survey. Eighteen psychosocial work factors were studied: low decision latitude (skill discretion and decision authority), high psychological demands, job strain, low social support, iso-strain, physical violence, sexual harassment, bullying…
