AI Article Synopsis
- * This study involved 3,238 workers and assessed trauma, depression, anxiety, and job stress to explore this relationship.
- * Results showed a significant odds ratio for sickness absence related to recent traumatic experiences, highlighting the long-term impact of trauma on employee health and the workplace.
Article Abstract
Background: Past traumatic experiences have been reported to lower stress tolerance, thereby increasing job strain. However, the relationship between past traumatic experiences and employee sickness absence is poorly understood.
Aims: This study explores the relationship between sickness absence and past traumatic experience with regard to the amount of time lapsed after the experience, job strain and other mental health states such as depression and anxiety.
Methods: A total of 3238 workers were assessed for levels of traumatic stress, depressive status, anxiety and job stress.
Results: Odds ratios of the presence of traumatic experiences to sickness absence, adjusted for sex, age and depressive and anxiety states, were presented according to the length of time that had passed since the traumatic events. The odds ratio in the 0-1 Years Group was 1.75 (p < 0.05), and the odds ratio for the 19+ Years Group was 1.46 (p < 0.1).
Conclusions: Past traumatic events are related to sickness absence. Sickness absence resulting from a past traumatic experience is important with respect to industrial health.

Background: Our study aims to enhance future pandemic preparedness by integrating lessons from historical pandemics, focusing on the multidimensional analysis of past outbreaks. It addresses the gap in existing modelling studies by combining various pandemic parameters in a comprehensive setting. Using Zurich as a case study, we seek a deeper understanding of pandemic dynamics to inform future scenarios.

Multidrug-resistant organisms are bacteria that are no longer controlled or killed by specific drugs. One of two methods causes bacteria multidrug resistance (MDR); first, these bacteria may disguise multiple cell genes coding for drug resistance to a single treatment on resistance (R) plasmids. Second, increased expression of genes coding for multidrug efflux pumps, which extrude many drugs, can cause MDR.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify distinct trajectories of long-term sickness absence (LTSA, >10 consecutive working days) among young and early midlife Finnish employees who experienced pain at baseline. It also aimed to determine the pain characteristics and occupational and lifestyle factors associated with these LTSA patterns.
Design: Longitudinal occupational cohort study with register linkage.
