Objectives: This study aimed to highlight the utility of a new certificate program in Total Worker Health ® (TWH) designed for health professionals in other community health settings (OCHS).
Methods: Stakeholder needs assessment, priority setting, and comparison with existing core competencies in TWH approaches were performed to identify learning objectives and curricular threads in alignment with adult learning principles. Faculty-student pairings were conducted for content and assessment development.
Results: A free six-module training course that prepares OCHS professionals to collaborate with occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals.
Conclusions: TWH can be advanced through collaboration between OSH and OCHS professionals. In service of shared ground, OCHS professionals should articulate the influence of work on health, TWH principles, and OSH vocabulary and concepts. Such training is a necessary step toward facilitating groups for the benefit of all work and workers.

Prevention of psychosocial distress consequences in somatic hospital inpatients via a stepped and collaborative care model: protocol of SomPsyNet, a stepped wedge cluster randomised trial.

Department of Psychosomatic Medicine, University Hospital Basel, Basel, Switzerland.
Introduction: Approximately 30% of somatic hospital inpatients experience psychosocial distress, contributing to increased (re-)hospitalisation rates, treatment resistance, morbidity, and direct and indirect costs. However, such distress often remains unrecognised and unaddressed. We established 'SomPsyNet', a 'stepped and collaborative care model' (SCCM) for somatic hospital inpatients, aiming at alleviating this issue through early identification of distress and provision of appropriate care, providing problem-focused pathways and strengthening collaborative care.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are interconnected with bioengineering, yet have historically been absent from accreditation standards and curricula. Toward educating DEI-competent bioengineers and meeting evolving accreditation requirements, we took a program-level approach to incorporate, catalog, and assess DEI content through the bioengineering undergraduate program. To support instructors in adding DEI content and inclusive pedagogy, our team developed a DEI planning worksheet and surveyed instructors pre- and post-course.

Purpose: Because physical-mental comorbidity in children is relatively common, this study tested for response shift (RS) in children with chronic physical illness using a parent-reported measure of child psychopathology.
Methods: Data come from Multimorbidity in Children and Youth across Life-course (MY LIFE), a prospective study of n = 263 children aged 2-16 years with physical illness in Canada. Parents provided information on child psychopathology using the Ontario Child Health Study Emotional Behavioral Scales (OCHS-EBS) at baseline and 24 months.
