Goals: To describe the exposure to psychosocial risks at work and the consumption of psychotropic drugs and opioids among women working as cleaners; and to analyse the association between their exposure to psychosocial risks and drug use.
Methods: Observational cross-sectional study based on an online survey (collected during April and May 2021) from the wage-earning population in Spain. In this study, only women working in manual occupations were included (n=3430).
Article Synopsis
- Recent changes in work arrangements have led to increased teleworking among non-manual workers in Spain, prompting a study on the psychosocial risks associated with different working modalities.* -
- An online survey of over 11,000 union members revealed that while combining telework with onsite work increases exposure to quantitative demands, it reduces emotional demands compared to traditional face-to-face work.* -
- Overall, employees who mix telework with onsite work face fewer psychosocial risks than those who work mainly remotely or exclusively onsite, highlighting the need for more research focusing on gender and class in workplace dynamics.*
Objective: The aim of the study is to test the relationship between different conceptualizations of job insecurity and health over time by applying a longitudinal design.
Methods: 543 workers were reinterviewed after 1 year to check if being exposed to job insecurity affected their general and mental health. Robust Poisson regressions were fitted to calculate the incidence rate ratio between job insecurities and two health outcomes.
Background: This study addresses the contribution of worker representation to health and safety in the pandemic context. To do so, we examine whether the self-reported presence of representatives in workplaces is associated with the implementation of anti-COVID-19 protective action and with which type of measures their existence is most strongly associated (individual, collective or organizational). The article also explores how the presence of worker representatives and anti-COVID-19 protective measures are distributed according to workers' socio-professional characteristics and company features.

This study aims to assess the prevalence of poor mental health among the Spanish salaried population, according to the labour market inequality axes (2005-2021).
Methods: Repeated cross-sectional study by comparing different surveys from 2005, 2010, 2016 and 2021 on workers residing in Spain who had been working in a salaried job during the week preceding the survey.
Background: Despite the growing number of studies on direct participation labor-management practices, little is known about the role of their different discretionary degrees (delegation or consultation) and topics in their relationship with the psychosocial work environment by occupational groups.
Methods: Cross-sectional study on the relationship between direct participation and work-related psychosocial risks (using COPSOQ-ISTAS21 v3) on a representative sample of the salaried and wage-earning employees in Spain (n = 1807). Prevalence ratios were calculated using adjusted Poisson regression models, controlling for 10 other labor-management practices, sex, and age, and stratified by occupational group.
Unlabelled: The aim is to describe the health and psychosocial risk factors of Spanish healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: A cross-sectional study by means of an online questionnaire (April-May 2020). The data comes from the database resulting from the COTS project "Working conditions, insecurity, and health in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic".
Objective: The Copenhagen Psychosocial Questio-nnaire (COPSOQ) is one of the most widely used in research and psychosocial risk assessment in the workplace. The adaptation of the third international COPSOQ version to Spain is described and the evidence of its validity and reliability presented.
Methods: Most of the items were already part of the previous versions I and II.
Background: Reference values of all the 21 psychosocial scales or dimensions (73 items) of the psychosocial risk assessment questionnaire COPSOQ ISTAS21 are computed from a representative sample of the wage earning population in Spain.
Methods: Representative sample of the Spanish wage-earning population, n=7,612. The sampling was multi-stage by conglomerates.
