Assessment of Occupational Health and Job Satisfaction in Workers with Intellectual Disability: A Job Demands–Resources Perspective

2021

In the contexts where people with intellectual disability work, there are factors that determine their job satisfaction. The objective of this study was to test the adequacy of the central assumptions of the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) theory in workers with intellectual disability employed in different work alternatives. Data from 362 workers in sheltered workshops and 192 workers in supported employment were utilized. The model was contrasted using a structural equation model and a multi-group analysis. The results supported the suitability of the model and confirmed that job demands and job resources evoke two relatively independent processes such as health impairment and motivational p…

The Effect of Emotional Dissonance and Mental Load on Need for Recovery and Work Engagement among Italian Fixed-Term Researchers

2020

Although many studies have been conducted to evaluate the risk and protective factors on psychological health among academic staff, little attention has been paid to fixed-term researchers, the weakest figures in the academic context. By using the Job Demands&ndash

Illegitimate tasks in health care: Illegitimate task types and associations with occupational well-being.

2021

Aims and objectives: The aims of the study were to identify content categories of unreasonable and unnecessary illegitimate tasks and to investigate how unreasonable and unnecessary tasks relate to occupational wellbeing. Background: Illegitimate tasks are a common stressor among healthcare professionals, and they have been shown to have negative associations with occupational well-being. Despite this evidence, research has not yet uncovered what kinds of tasks healthcare professionals consider illegitimate. Design and method: The data gathered by means of an online survey consisted of 1024 municipal healthcare organisation employees. A theory-driven qualitative content analysis was used to…

Western Australian students' alcohol consumption and expenditure intentions for Schoolies.

2016

In Australia, the immediate post-school period (known as ‘Schoolies’) is associated with heavy drinking and high levels of alcohol-related harm. This study investigated students’ intended alcohol consumption during Schoolies to inform interventions to reduce alcohol-related harm among this group. An online survey was administered to students in their senior year of schooling. Included items related to intended daily alcohol consumption during Schoolies, amount of money intended to be spent on alcohol over the Schoolies period, and past drinking behaviour. On average, participants (n=187) anticipated that they would consume eight standard drinks per day, which is substantially higher than t…

Longitudinal physical activity patterns and the development of cardiometabolic risk factors during adolescence

2023

Purpose To examine the associations between longitudinal physical activity (PA) patterns and the development of cardiometabolic risk factors from adolescence to young adulthood. Methods This cohort study encompassed 250 participants recruited from sports clubs and schools, and examined at mean age 15 and 19. Device-measured moderate-to-vigorous PA was grouped into five patterns (via a data-driven method, using inactivity maintainers as a reference). The outcomes were: glucose, insulin, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI). Linear growth curve models were applied wit…

Spilling the beans: The development of conceptual knowledge about food and its links with food rejection in young children (3-7-years-old)

2021

Insufficient dietary variety in children leads to significant nutrient deficiencies and health issues, both in childhood and later life (DeCosta et al., 2017). Cognitive mechanisms, such as categorization and conceptual knowledge, play an important role in understanding and appropriately accepting or rejecting foods (Mura Paroche et al., 2017). The food domain lends itself to many concepts and categories, such as taxonomic (i.e., lamb is meat), thematic (i.e., lamb goes on a plate), or script (i.e., lamb is eaten at dinner). Such knowledge aids accurate recognition, understanding, and appropriate interaction when confronted with foods situated in context. If conceptual knowledge is underdev…

Introduction. Vulnérabilités et incidences sur les parcours d’entrée dans la vie adulte : les jeunes une population spécifique ?

2018

Au 1er janvier 2018, la France compte 67,2 millions d’habitants. Le vieillissement de la population française se poursuit. Les personnes de 65 ans ou plus représentent 19,6 % de la population, contre 19,2 % un an auparavant. Vingt ans plus tôt, elles ne représentaient que 15,5 % de la population. À l’opposé, la population âgée de moins de 20 ans représente 24,4 % de la population (contre 26 % en 1998) (Papon et Beaumel, 2018). Parmi les jeunes, les données Eurostat montrent que 9,3 % d’entre ...

Introduire un dispositif de renforcement disciplinaire en 1ère année universitaire permet-il aux étudiants d'obtenir de meilleures notes ?

2014

Avec le Plan Réussite en Licence (PRL), de nouveaux dispositifs d'aides à la réussite ont été expérimentés au sein des universités françaises. Or, l'étude de l'efficacité de ces dispositifs demeure peu développée, mis à part la méthodologie du travail universitaire (Coulon, 2005) ou le tutorat (Danner, 2000). Il est ainsi difficile d'identifier quel type de mesure semble le plus approprié pour agir le plus efficacement sur la réussite des étudiants, ne serait-ce que parce que peu de recherches se concentrent sur les questions d'apprentissage dans l'enseignement supérieur français (Fave-Bonnet et Clerc, 2001). L'ambition de cette communication est de mesurer les effets d'un nouveau type de d…
