Methods: Online self-completion questionnaires were distributed in the Summer of 2022.

"Are you feeling safe?": an investigation of psychosocial safety climate in the relations of job characteristics and employee exhaustion and engagement.

Psychosocial safety climate (PSC) is defined as the corporate climate in relation to employees' perceptions of organizational policies, procedures, and practices for the protection of employee psychosocial safety and well-being. The present study was based on the Demand-Induced Strain Compensation (DISC) Model and proposed that the interplay between identical job demands and resources would be conditioned by PSC. Particularly, high levels of PSC would enable employees to optimally perceive and utilize more job resources in dealing with corresponding job demands.

Prevalence of High-Risk HPV Subtypes and Efficacy of the HPV Vaccine in Preventing Cervical Epithelial Lesions: Survey and Insights from a German Study.

Historically, cervical cytology has been the standard method for detecting dysplastic cervical changes. However, extensive research has established that human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a primary cause of these changes, necessitating a shift in screening and preventive strategies towards the molecular detection of high-risk HPV subtypes. To combat HPV infection, prophylactic vaccines have been developed, including the nonavalent, quadrivalent, and bivalent vaccines.

Distribution and incidence of atypical glandular lesions in cervical cytology focusing on the association with high-risk human papillomavirus subtypes.

Adenocarcinoma (AIS) is considered a precursor of adenocarcinoma. Cervical adenocarcinoma has been associated with human papillomavirus (HPV), while other subtypes of AIS and endocervical adenocarcinoma have no precursor lesions and are not associated with HPV. Cervical cytology and HPV genotyping are important in the detection of these different subtypes.

HPV-genotyping versus conventional cervical cytology as a screening method to detect dysplastic cervical epithelial changes.

The world health organization (WHO) called for coordinated global action in 2018 to eliminate cervical cancer, ensuring that every woman is screened and treated for precancerous lesions (World Health Organization. Cervical cancer: an NCD we can overcome. Geneva, 2018.

Evaluation of P16/Ki67 (CINtecPlus) and L1-capsid compared with HPV-genotyping in cervical cytology in women ≥35 years old focusing on patients with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance.

Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer in women worldwide. Conventional cytological examination as a screening method with Papanicolaou has been established to reduce the incidence of dysplasia and cervical cancer for years. In addition to the conventional screening, the introduction of immunocytochemical examinations, including CINtecPlus and L1-capsid, has been demonstrated to have a positive impact on screening results.

Walking the tightrope between work and home: the role of job/home resources in the relation between job/home demands and employee health and well-being.

The present study investigated the role of job/home resources in the relation between job/home demands and exhaustion, job satisfaction, work-home interference, and home-work interference during the COVID-19 pandemic. We explored the prevalence of job/home demands and resources during the COVID-19 pandemic, and examined whether working at different locations (i.e.

Employee Sustainable Performance (E-SuPer): Theoretical Conceptualization, Scale Development, and Psychometric Properties.

Although the concept of employee sustainable performance has received considerable attention in the practitioner literature, academic research still lacks a clear conceptualization and empirical operationalization of this concept. Defining employee sustainable performance as a regulatory process in which an individual worker enduringly and efficiently achieves particular desired work goals while maintaining a satisfactory level of well-being, this paper describes a corresponding instrument called E-SuPer, and examines its psychometric properties. The E-SuPer instrument was tested and cross-validated using two cross-sectional survey studies ( = 153 and = 160), focusing on factorial validity, internal consistency, and discriminant and concurrent validity.

Does Match Really Matter? The Moderating Role of Resources in the Relation between Demands, Vigor and Fatigue in Academic Life.

The goal of the present study is to examine the moderating role of resources at work or study in the relation between demands, vigor, and fatigue in academic life. Trying to replicate scarce research on both academic and student stress simultaneously, we tested the so-called triple-match principle in an academic context to study whether or not match between specific resources, demands and well-being/health outcomes does really matter. A cross-sectional survey study using online self-completion questionnaires was carried out among 96 academics and 221 engineering students from a technological university ( =317 in total).

Mental Recovery and Running-Related Injuries in Recreational Runners: The Moderating Role of Passion for Running.

This pilot study investigates the moderating role of passion for running in the relation between mental recovery from running and running-related injuries (RRIs). We predict that the relation between recovery and injuries is dependent on the level of passion. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted among 246 Dutch recreational runners.

What makes a good work break? Off-job and on-job recovery as predictors of employee health.

Recovery from work today seems to be crucial for health care employees' health, so it is important to uncover ways how to facilitate and improve adequate recovery from work. Focusing on the recovery concept of detachment from work, this study investigated associations between detachment after work and during work breaks and individual health among health care employees from a general hospital in the Netherlands. An online cross-sectional survey study was conducted comprising a sample of 368 health care employees of different departments.

Feeling Vital or Fatigued? Relations with Demands and Resources in a University Context.

This study examines whether specific (matching) combinations of demands and resources exist in the prediction of both positive and negative outcomes (i.e., vitality and fatigue) in a university context.

The Vital Worker: Towards Sustainable Performance at Work.

Vitality at work is an important factor for organizations to build a healthier, more engaged, sustainable, and productive workforce. The organizational and societal relevance of vitality at work is high, particularly with regard to an aging and more diverse workforce. This Special Issue focusses on what might be called sustainable performance at work: Maximizing work performance as well as worker health and well-being through employee vitality.

"Leave It All Behind": The Role of Mental Demands and Mental Detachment in Relation to Dance Students' Health and Well-Being.

Aims: Adequate physical and mental (i.e., cognitive and emotional) recovery is essential for dancers' health and well-being.

'Take a Mental Break!' study: Role of mental aspects in running-related injuries using a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Running-related injuries (RRIs) can be considered the primary enemy of runners. Most literature on injury prediction and prevention overlooks the mental aspects of overtraining and under-recovery, despite their potential role in injury prediction and prevention. Consequently, knowledge on the role of mental aspects in RRIs is lacking.

Short-Term and Long-Term Effects of Off-Job Activities on Recovery and Sleep: A Two-Wave Panel Study among Health Care Employees.

This study examined whether particular recovery activities after work have a positive or negative effect on employee recovery from work (i.e., cognitive, emotional, and physical detachment) and sleep quality.

Balancing Demands and Resources in Sport: Adaptation and Validation of the Demand-Induced Strain Compensation Questionnaire for Use in Sport.

Too high demands, combined with a lack of resources, are often detrimental to athletic health and well-being. However, a valid and reliable instrument to investigate different dimensions of demands and resources in sport is currently unavailable. Therefore, the present study examines the psychometric properties of an existing and well-validated survey instrument on demands and resources at task-level that was adapted to sport.

Work Stress Interventions in Hospital Care: Effectiveness of the DISCovery Method.

Effective interventions to prevent work stress and to improve health, well-being, and performance of employees are of the utmost importance. This quasi-experimental intervention study presents a specific method for diagnosis of psychosocial risk factors at work and subsequent development and implementation of tailored work stress interventions, the so-called method. This method aims at improving employee health, well-being, and performance by optimizing the balance between job demands, job resources, and recovery from work.

Physical recovery, mental detachment and sleep as predictors of injury and mental energy.

Although sports activities are generally considered beneficial to people's health and well-being, they can cause injuries and increased fatigue. Guided by the Demand-Induced Strain Compensation Recovery Model, this study hypothesized that physical recovery and mental detachment from sport-related activities would prevent injury and enhance mental energy. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted among 161 recreational athletes.

Is an unhealthy work environment in nursing home care for people with dementia associated with the prescription of psychotropic drugs and physical restraints?

Background: Research showed that long-term care facilities differ widely in the use of psychotropic drugs and physical restraints. The aim of this study is to investigate whether characteristics of an unhealthy work environment in facilities for people with dementia are associated with more prescription of psychotropic drugs and physical restraints.

Methods: Data were derived from the first wave (2008-2009) of a national monitoring study in the Netherlands.

Psychological detachment from work during non-work time: linear or curvilinear relations with mental health and work engagement?

This study examined whether a higher level of psychological detachment during non-work time is associated with better employee mental health (Hypothesis 1), and examined whether psychological detachment has a curvilinear relation (inverted U-shaped pattern) with work engagement (Hypothesis 2). A large cross-sectional Internet survey was conducted among registered monitors of an Internet survey company in Japan. The questionnaire included scales for psychological detachment, employee mental health, and work engagement as well as for job characteristics and demographic variables as potential confounders.

The Demand-Induced Strain Compensation Questionnaire: A Cross-national Validation Study.

The demand-induced strain compensation model is a theoretical job stress model that has been tested in different kinds of empirical study in several countries. To measure key concepts in the model (job demands and job resources), the demand-induced strain compensation questionnaire (DISQ) was developed and has been used in many empirical studies. However, most studies neither focused on the psychometric properties of the DISQ nor tested it cross-nationally.

Staff's person-centredness in dementia care in relation to job characteristics and job-related well-being: a cross-sectional survey in nursing homes.

Aim: To explore the role of nursing staff's person-centredness caring for people with dementia in relation to their work environment and job-related well-being.

Background: Given the development towards person-centred care and labour force issues, research has recently focused on the effect of person-centredness on nursing staff's well-being. Findings from occupational stress research suggest that employees' personal characteristics, such as person-centredness, can moderate the impact particular job characteristics have on their job-related well-being.

Psychological detachment from work during off-job time: predictive role of work and non-work factors in Japanese employees.

Psychological detachment from work, an off-job experience of "switching off" mentally, seems to be crucial for promoting employee's well-being. Previous studies on predictors of psychological detachment mainly focused on job-related factors, and only a few studies focused on family-related and personal factors. This study focuses not only on job-related factors (job demands, job control, workplace support) but also on family-related (family/friend support) and personal factors (workaholism), and examines the relation of these three factors with psychological detachment.

Design of the DISCovery project: tailored work-oriented interventions to improve employee health, well-being, and performance-related outcomes in hospital care.

Background: It is well-known that health care workers in today's general hospitals have to deal with high levels of job demands, which could have negative effects on their health, well-being, and job performance. A way to reduce job-related stress reactions and to optimize positive work-related outcomes is to raise the level of specific job resources and opportunities to recover from work. However, the question remains how to translate the optimization of the balance between job demands, job resources, and recovery opportunities into effective workplace interventions.
