Lean on Me: A Scoping Review of the Essence of Workplace Support Among Child Welfare Workers.

Child welfare workers (CWWs) often work under conditions similar in nature to workers within safety critical organizations (SCOs). This is because most of their work surrounds child neglect, securing homes for foster children, haphazard, and intricate cases, among other things, and where making wrong decisions, inattention to details, and the likes could lead to adverse consequences especially for the kids within their care. Research has shown that employees who experience support at work often report less stress symptoms, burnout, and a host of other negative workplace experiences.

Why are they reluctant to report? A study of the barriers to reporting to child welfare services among public dental healthcare personnel.

This study is a national cross-sectional survey, conducted in November 2014, of 366 dental hygienists and dentists who had suspected maltreatment but did not report it to Norwegian Child Welfare Services (CWS).

The questionnaire was based on earlier studies and was adapted to fit the Norwegian context.

Does socio-economic status and health consciousness influence how women respond to health related messages in media?

During the past few decades, people have been increasingly exposed to health-related messages in the mass media, conveying recommendations for healthy lifestyles.
