The sexism, as prejudice and discrimination against women, can also be observed in the work environment, in an interpersonal and institutional way, especially in environments considered typically male. In this context, we believe it is important to study sexism in the workplace. That said, we carried out a scoping review in order to identify and analyze studies that deal with "expressions of sexism in the workplace". For this purpose, we performed a bibliographic search in the SciELO, PePSIC, LILACS, Index Psi, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES and Web of Science databases, selecting documents published in article format and articles with descriptors present in the title, abstract, keywords or subject, and excluding duplicate articles, articles without abstract or unavailable in full on the internet and articles that did not deal with the theme as the main focus. Thus, we obtained a final bank consisting of 129 articles, which were analyzed manually and using the IRaMuTeQ software. The results showed a greater publication in recent years, a predominance of quantitative empirical and international articles and that the topic is of multidisciplinary interest, with emphasis on Psychology. The studies present a well-defined methodological structure and emphasize the ambivalent character of sexism, its institutional manifestation and the figure of woman as victim of this phenomenon. The theme is of increasing interest but deserves more attention in the local context. This review brings important contributions and presents limitations and suggestions for future researches.

Employees' pro-environmental behaviours at work can contribute to reducing organizations' environmental impacts through the integration of environmental practices into daily routines. This study explored how a green climate at the organizational and co-worker level and supervisor support help predict employees' voluntary green behaviours at work, particularly regarding waste separation. Organizational identification's mediating role in these relationships was also examined. Cross-sectional, correlational research was conducted at a Portuguese higher education institution in which 164 employees responded to an online survey. The results reveal a significant positive association between workers' perceptions of a green organizational climate and their reported pro-environmental behaviours, but organizational identification does not mediate the green climate–pro-environmental behaviours relationship. In addition, supervisor support's effect on pro-environmental behaviours was only marginally significant. These findings underline the importance of organizational-level initiatives as a way to promote green behaviours at work, but a better understanding of the processes generating these relationships is still needed. The practical implications include the need for more investment in initiatives that focus on making environmental concerns part of organizations' daily procedures and routines.

Objective: to investigate the levels of occupational stress among nurses working in different healthcare services in Brazil. Method: this is a cross-sectional study with data collected from 416 nurses between May 31, 2023, and January 31, 2024, through an online questionnaire covering sociodemographic variables and the Work Stress Scale. Data analysis was conducted using PSPP version 1.6.2-g78a33a. The Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were applied. Results: the majority of nurses (61.5%) presented high levels of occupational stress. The sub-dimensions "Autonomy and control" (2.92 ± 0.95), "roles and work environment" (2.77 ± 1.01) and "growth and recognition" (2.76 ± 1.11) of the Work Stress Scale showed the highest scores of stress. There was no significant relationship between the nurses' sociodemographic variables and their occupational stress scores (p>0.05). Conclusion: structural and cultural changes are crucial for reducing the level of occupational stress among nurses. The study emphasizes the key role of healthcare administrators and nurse managers in promoting healthier and more collaborative work environments through effective management and leadership.

Introduction: The work environment of hospital nurses and its impact on results have not been explored in Colombia. This research seeks to describe the characteristics of the work environment of nurses in a Colombian public hospital and to determine their association with sociodemographic characteristics and with results for the nurse, the patient and the institution. Method: Exploratory descriptive study. The 139 clinical nurses from the institution were invited to participate. The form was sent by RedCap, with sociodemographic and employment questions, the ENLASA-Nursing instrument, and results questions. Frequencies and percentages were obtained from the sociodemographic and employment data. The Dalenius-Hodges method was used to determine the score in which the healthy work environment was considered. To analyze the associations between sociodemographic and occupational characteristics, ENLASA-Nursing scores, and outcomes, the contingency coefficient, Phi, and Cramer's V were used. Results: The response rate was 84%. The overall score suggests that the work environment is healthy. The dimension of organizational structural components is considered unhealthy (58.3048/100); that of organizational processes is considered healthy (68.1256/100). The subdimensions with the lowest scores were: human resources policies (62.2960/100), nursing resource planning (42.9487), and remuneration (52.7778). In the organizational process dimension, clinical autonomy obtained the lowest and the only score that classifies it as an unhealthy aspect (52.6709). Conclusions: There is a need to promote healthy work environments, work on policies and planning of human resources in nursing, and advance research on this matter, to support national and organizational policy decisions.

This forum critically reflects on discrimination faced by early-career women international relations (IR) scholars in the Asia-Pacific region in their workplaces and beyond. By taking a self-ethnographic perspective, six contributors from five countries provide an engaging overview of difficulties they face in their everyday lives. Against the backdrop of this diverse and globalizing region, the contributors are all academic migrants in search of employment and learning opportunities within the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. They lead migratory lives by frequently crossing ideational and material boundaries to contribute to a more diverse IR knowledge base, and they encounter numerous difficulties and forms of discrimination. This forum has two aims. First, in reflecting on the contributors' own lived experiences, it highlights the diversity of issues faced by early-career women scholars in this region. Second, it calls for novel, more inclusive forms of solidarity that appreciates diversity as plurality across any divides. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Topics addressing the working conditions of nursing professionals are widely discussed, as they cover subjects such as workload and wages, professional development and career planning, occupational health and safety, adequate physical conditions and sufficient equipment, teamwork and professional recognition, and management and leadership, which in turn influence job satisfaction and quality of care. Factors related to working conditions also affect the opinions of nursing students regarding the profession, which can generate doubts and concerns about their future as nurses. Objective: To know the opinions of undergraduate nursing students who study at Brazilian universities regarding the working conditions of nursing in Brazil. Method: This is a descriptive survey with a qualitative approach. A total of 25 nursing students participated in the study. Results: Four themes were identified: 1) nursing work conditions; 2) factors that help overcome adverse working conditions; 3) reflections on the future in the profession; 4) suggestions to improve nursing working conditions. Conclusion: The support of public administrators and also institutional and nursing leaders' support were identified as important factors to improve conditions in the nursing work environment. With the improvement of nurses' working conditions, nursing students will also feel more motivated to dedicate themselves to the course and pursue a career in the profession. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: concern for the work environment in nursing has become even greater since the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected the quantity and quality of nursing personnel around the world. Objective: to describe the work environment of nurses performing care functions in a hospital in Bogota, Colombia. Method: exploratory descriptive study. The Enlasa -Nursing Questionnaire was sent to all the nurses in the hospital under study through RedCap. Results: 50% of the nurses (49 nurses) of the institution invited to participate in the study answered the complete questionnaire. The work environment was considered unhealthy by 57.1% of the respondents. The dimension of structural elements was seen as unhealthy (64.49/100), and that of organizational processes as healthy (71.18/100). The sub-dimensions considered unhealthy in structure were nursing resource planning (54.66/100) and human resources policies (58.91/100). With respect to processes were nurse-organization interaction (63.10/100) and autonomy (66.07/100). No association was found between sociodemographic variables and nursing work environment. The only statistically significant association between work environment and results was the one related to motivation to work (Phi 0.362, p=0.040). Conclusions: it is suggested to intervene in the dimensions and subdimensions identified as unhealthy and to continue monitoring this phenomenon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: workers’ exposure to unhealthy eating is linked to the increase in overweight and obesity. Objective: this systematic review aims to analyze with bias and quality analysis the effect of interventions in the food environment of the work)place on the nutritional status of workers. Methods: the search was conducted in three electronic databases according to the Cochrane Collaboration and eight studies were included. Data were grouped according to type of environmental intervention, and methodological quality and validity with risk of bias was analyzed. Results: three studies had effects on reducing BMI and body weight, but one was judged to be reliable evidence of effectiveness, as they were at low risk of bias. Half of the included articles were assessed at high risk of bias (3/8) and unclear risk of bias (1/8), due to errors in selection and performance and missing data in the results. Conclusions: we conclude that there is not enough evidence to indicate that these types of interventions have an effect on body weight. To make effective interventions, the design of these studies has to avoid potential sources of bias, which were analyzed in detail in this study. The global food environment of workers and not just their workplace must be considered, deepening the interaction that exists between socioeconomic factors and food environments.

Suffering in the workplace is probably a more common occurrence than expected in everyday life. In the interests of both, employee wellbeing and company performance, it must be taken seriously in consideration. However, poor knowledge exists concerning the effects of suffering on health and occupational safety because neither the current human management systems, nor the specialized literature directly address this problem. As a consequence there is a lack of evidence regarding how to manage suffering in organizations. Rooted in human resources managers postulates, this work is a thoughtful analysis of data collected from focus group discussions with Top Human Resources Managers of selected companies in Spain. The article offers an innovative look at the under-researched topic of suffering in the workplace to discover what has been done, what has to change and what is to come in the field of suffering.

Resumen Introducción: Actualmente se está produciendo un acusado cambio demográfico en el que se observa un envejecimiento en la población activa. De hecho alrededor del 50% tiene 45 o más años. Resultando por tanto un desafío y una necesidad para nuestra sociedad el tratar de mejorar la calidad de vida de los trabajadores de mediana edad. Objetivo: Identificar y evaluar si la realización de intervenciones en el lugar de trabajo mejoran la calidad de vida de los trabajadores de mediana edad. Metodología: Se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica sistemática basada en la literatura publicada desde el 2004 hasta diciembre de 2018 en varias bases de datos científicas: MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, SCIELO y SCOPUS. Resultados: La búsqueda produjo un total de 372 registros y tras la aplicación de la fórmula de búsqueda y criterios de exclusión e inclusión, se seleccionaron un total de 11 artículos (10 ensayos clínicos y 1 estudio de cohortes). Se evidenciaron resultados estadísticamente significativos en distintas intervenciones en el lugar de trabajo que lograron mejorar la calidad de vida de los trabajadores. Conclusiones: La evidencia recopilada en esta revisión sistemática resulta consistente respecto a la capacidad que tienen las intervenciones que fomentan la salud y el bienestar en el lugar de trabajo para mejorar la calidad de vida de los trabajadores de mediana edad. Sin embargo sería recomendable la realización de nuevos estudios para poder ampliar este campo de conocimiento.

Objective: to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on nursing work environments and to develop a technological tool to assess systematically the qualification of these contexts. Method: mixed method research conducted in six Portuguese hospitals, with the participation of 442 nurses. The questionnaire used contained sociodemographic and professional characterization, which was the Scale for the Environments Evaluation of Professional Nursing Practice and open questions. Results: COVID-19 had a negative impact on the components Structure (‍ƿ<0,001), Process (‍ƿ<0,001) and Result (ƿ=0,009) of nursing work environments. The monitoring of the quality of the work environments was pointed out as an improvement strategy. The technological tool developed allows identifying the most fragile dimensions early and prioritizing improvements. Conclusion: COVID-19 had a negative impact on work environments. The technological tool built, which made the evaluation of work environments more dynamic, in addition to ensuring the involvement of nurses, is an important management tool. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumen: El ámbito laboral tiene un gran potencial para difundir información e implementar actividades de promoción de la salud, como la prevención y detección temprana del cáncer. Debido al desafío de implementar intervenciones sanitarias en este ámbito, se necesitan investigaciones formativas para adecuar el diseño y la implementación de las estrategias para que sean exitosas. Con el objetivo de informar el diseño e implementación de la intervención, para mejorar la tasa de adherencia al tamizaje con el test de sangre oculta en materia fecal, en un ámbito laboral en Argentina, se realizó una investigación formativa para identificar potenciales barreras y facilitadores. La investigación formativa siguió un diseño metodológico cualitativo. Se realizaron entrevistas con 10 responsables de áreas clave de la institución en que se desarrolló el estudio y 8 grupos focales con trabajadores mayores de 50 años. Se identificaron desafíos para la implementación de la intervención en el nivel institucional, como la dispersión geográfica de los trabajadores y la complejidad del organigrama de la institución, y en el nivel de la población objetivo, como el bajo conocimiento del cáncer colorrectal y de los test diagnósticos, así como la baja percepción de riesgo. Entre los facilitadores se destacaron la aceptabilidad de la intervención, además de la disponibilidad de recursos humanos y materiales para llevar adelante la intervención, como canales de comunicación institucional para la diseminación de información, así como la logística para la distribución de kits diagnósticos. La investigación formativa permitió relevar recursos e identificar potenciales barreras que informaron el diseño y la implementación de la intervención.

El empleo informal es toda actividad laboral, que se caracteriza por una alta mano de obra, largas jornadas laborales y baja remuneración salarial, no cuenta con protección social ni beneficios laborales para los trabajadores, los ingresos monetarios están al margen del control y la fiscalización, conectándose así la vulnerabilidad social y laboral, se encuentran expuestos a todo tipo de riesgos, entre ellos, los ergonómicos, por las condiciones del entorno físico; el objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar el riesgo ergonómico al que están expuestos los trabajadores informales, del centro de la Ciudad de Cali, se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, transversal. Participaron 98 hombres y mujeres ocupados en actividades informales del sector comercio, elegidos mediante un muestreo aleatorio simple. Para la recolección de los datos se aplicó la Encuesta Nacional de Condiciones de Salud y Trabajo del Comercio Informal del Ministerio de la Protección Social con previa firma del consentimiento informado. Los resultados mostraron que el 51% de los vendedores informales ejercen posturas o movimientos forzados durante la realización de su actividad laboral. En igual porcentaje levantan y desplazan objetos pesados durante la realización de su actividad laboral, el 77% no cuentan con ayudas mecánicas para desarrollar su actividad; en sus puestos de trabajo existen: pisos, paredes y zonas deterioradas que pueden generar accidentes como resbalones tropiezos y caídas.

Objective. To assess the relationship between labor qual­ity of life (LQL) and organizational workers performance (OWP) from seven public hospitals, analyzing the influence of the personnel management (PM) as mediator of this re­lationship. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 866 professionals and managers of public hospitals from Tlaxcala and Mexico City. The LQL was assessed with a validated questionnaire, OWP with 34 indicators, and PM with an instrument designed for this study. Results. Mean scores of LQL, were significantly lower among workers from Tlaxcala. Participants who perceived an adequate PM, they increased at 2.7 times their likelihood of having highest LQL, and participants categorized in the high LQL presented 69% higher likelihood of having an adequate OWP. Conclusions. The appropriate PM was associated with greater LQL, showing to be a mediator variable between the positive relationship of CVL and the OWP.

Resumen Antecedentes: Trabajadores con estado nutricional perjudicial presentan mayor tasa de absentismo, aumento del gasto de empresa y disminución de la productividad. Sería óptimo intervenir en el lugar de trabajo ya que empleamos un tercio del tiempo en él. Objetivos: Valorar la repercusión y la efectividad de programas de promoción de la salud en el estado nutricional de la población activa en los últimos cinco años Fuentes de datos: Se recogieron estudios de Medline, Web of Science (WOS), Cochrane y SCOPUS ajustándose a la PICO. Criterios de inclusión y exclusión: Se incluyen trabajadores mayores de 18 años indistintamente del puesto de trabajo. Se excluyen trabajadores con Índice de Masa Corporal mayor de 30, enfermos y/o con intervenciones farmacológicas. Evaluación y métodos de síntesis: Se realizó una síntesis de los artículos recogido en una tabla y un resumen narrativo. Resultados: Veintisiete (n=72632) fueron los estudios que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Nueve de los estudios que analizaban programas de nutrición mostraron diferencias. La modificación del ejercicio físico conseguía resultados positivos en siete de los estudios. La sinergia de nutrición y actividad física obtenía resultados significativos en dos de ellos respecto al grupo control. Las mujeres presentan mayor adherencia. Conclusiones: Se propone llevar a cabo diseños protocolizados de mayor duración, intervenciones con objetivos definidos y validados, además de una adecuada evaluación de los datos para aumentar la calidad. Limitaciones: Los datos de reclutamiento y la descripción de las intervenciones fueron de baja calidad. La ausencia de datos cuantitativos impide la realización de metaanálisis.

Introduction and objective: Workers contend with many threats while performing their daily routine that could undermine their dignity, such as denigrating comments from supervisors or co-workers. Denying workers' dignity constitutes a direct threat towards their well-being. The aim of this paper is to adapt and validate the Spanish version of the Workplace Dignity Scale (WDS). Method: An instrumental design was executed in order to adapt the scale to Spanish with a Mexican population (N = 588). Following back-translation, three studies were conducted in which confirmatory factor analysis, correlations, regressions, and invariance analysis were applied. Results: The results showed that the Spanish adaptation conforms to the six-factor structure of the original scale and that organisational dehumanisation and workers' self-objectification predicted dignity at work; with workers' self-objectification being the variable that most strongly predicted workers' dignity. Finally, we also evaluated measurement invariance comparing our data with the results of the original scale. In general, results indicated that even when the Spanish version of the WDS presented an adequate factor structure, its measurement presented different factor loadings and slopes compared with the measurement of the original scale. Conclusions: In general, we have an instrument adapted to the Mexican context that allows us to evaluate workers' sense of dignity in the workplace. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: IIntroduction: maternal employment after childbirth is associated with abandonment of breastfeeding; however, lactation rooms in the workplace increase the practice of breastfeeding. Objective: to compare the frequency and duration of breastfeeding among working mothers based on the presence of lactation rooms in their workplaces. Methods: we included mothers from different institutions whose infants were between 6 and 35 months (n = 158), and an ad hoc questionnaire was applied to assess breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), partial breastfeeding (PBF), and use of human milk substitutes (HMS). Two groups were compared: working mothers with a lactation room at their workplace (n = 76) versus working mothers without this resource (n = 82). Results: breastfeeding duration (7.5 vs. 5.0 months, p < 0.001) and EBF (3.0 vs. 1.2 months, p = 0.005) were higher in mothers who had a lactation room. HMS use was shorter in mothers who had a lactation room (2.5 vs. 10.0 months, p = 0.001). There were more working mothers who breastfed for more than six months (75.0 % vs. 48.8 %) [OR = 3.15 (95 % CI, 1.60-6.19), p = 0.001] and 12 months (31.6 % vs. 14.6 %) [OR = 2.69 (95 % CI, 1.23-5.87), p = 0.014] when lactation rooms were available in their workplaces. Conclusion: the presence of a lactation room in the workplace was associated with a higher frequency and duration of breastfeeding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper provides a theoretically driven discussion about the need to take the workplace, rather than social group identities, as the point of entry into studying encounters at work. Broadening the lens beyond these identities allows an appreciation of the multidimensional elements that constitute the workplace – this being the institutional, material, social and discursive, and how they shape everyday encounters with difference at work. This understanding is vital if we are to effectively enhance the potential of workplaces to facilitate 'meaningful' contact in cities. Drawing on two case studies of professional workplaces in Melbourne and Singapore, I illustrate how the multidimensional workplace gives rise to the performance of place-based identities that intersect with ethnicity, nationality and gender, but the salient intersections and their impacts on encounters are influenced by the context in which the workplace is situated. I thus conclude that the workplace as well as the broader place matters in how encounters play out at work. The paper therefore contributes to the existing literature on encounters at work specifically, and urban encounters more generally, by articulating the multidimensionality of the workplace and its importance in shaping everyday contact.

Objective: We describe time trend incidence (2009-2018) of non-work related Sickness Absence (SA) segmented by duration of episodes in Spain. Methods: We used SA cases from a health insurance company ("mutua") in Spain. Overall non-work related SA incidence and incidence by duration of episodes (1-3 days, 4-15 days, 16-30 days, 31-90 days and> 90 days) were obtained. A time series ecological study was carried out with an inflection point in 2013. The annual percentage of change and 95% confidence interval were obtained. The analyses were stratified by age and sex. Results: Overall incidence went from 35.3 cases per 100 workers-years in 2009 to 25.2 in 2013. From 2014, there is a sustained rise in the incidence of ITCC, ending 2018 with 34.1 cases per 100 workers-years. The overall incidence is determined mainly by processes less than 16 days in young population. The decrease in 2009-2013 occurred in all the duration segments, especially in 4 to 15 (APC=-11,2; 95% CI=(-14,1 a -8,2)) and more than 90 days (APC =-9,4; 95% CI =(-15,5 a -2,8)), mainly in young people. The rise in 2013-2018 was observed in all the segments, with the largest significant increase in sections of 1-3 days (younger workers: APC =18,9; 95% CI =(14,8 a 23,2)) and in more than 90 days (mainly in older ones). Time trend of SA showed similar pattern in both sexes. Conclusions: Time trend analysis of SA incidence by duration segments offers a detailed information of SA. These results are useful for professionals in the prevention and management of SA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En la Comunidad Autónoma Vasca, la presencia de la lengua minoritaria local, el euskara, ha aumentado paulatinamente en el lugar de trabajo gracias a políticas lingüísticas recientes, aunque la lengua mayoritaria local, el castellano, sigue siendo claramente predominante. Al mismo tiempo, a consecuencia de la internacionalización, el inglés también ha ganado en importancia como Lengua Franca en las actividades profesionales internacionales. Este estudio analiza las percepciones de los profesionales y futuros profesionales acerca de este repertorio lingüístico “glocal” en el lugar de trabajo de la Comunidad Autónoma Vasca.

Introducción: Los códigos deontológicos, permiten guiar las acciones para un apropiado ejercicio profesional. En Colombia, la Ley 911 del 2004, establece las disposiciones legales sobre ética para el ejercicio de la enfermería y conceptualiza el acto de cuidado. Objetivo: Determinar la percepción de las enfermeras sobre las responsabilidades éticas en la práctica profesional y la relación con el servicio e institución donde laboran. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio de corte transversal en enfermeras que laboran en instituciones públicas y privadas. Se realizó análisis descriptivo y estratificado. Resultados: Las enfermeras perciben en alto porcentaje que siempre cumple lo establecido en el Título III. Hubo relación estadísticamente significativa entre percepción y la institución donde labora para los ítems de conducta respetuosa, objeción de conciencia y registros de enfermería claros y entre percepción versus servicios, para los ítems de conducta respetuosa, ubicación de acuerdo a la experiencia y formación y diligenciamiento de registros claros, secuenciales y sin errores. Discusión: Los resultados de este estudio permiten evidenciar elementos fundamentales del actuar ético de enfermería referidos en la literatura científica. Conclusiones: La práctica de enfermería implica una serie de responsabilidades éticas con los sujetos de cuidado que pueden variar según el contexto donde esta se desarrolle. En este estudio, se concluyó que los registros de enfermería, la objeción de conciencia, la ubicación de acuerdo a la experiencia y formación académica eran fundamentales para el ejercicio de la práctica y estaban relacionados con la institución y servicio donde se laboraba.

Objetivo: proponer un modelo de promoción de salud en el lugar de trabajo fundamentado en los modelos de Nola Pender y de condiciones de trabajo de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Síntesis del contenido: los trabajadores son un grupo poblacional que puede verse afectado por acciones desarrolladas en los espacios de trabajo, por tanto, la implementación de programas de promoción de la salud es primordial para la persona que labora y para la organización. Desde el sustento teórico-científico de la disciplina de enfermería, el modelo de promoción de la salud de Nola Pender puede ser un primer acercamiento para aportar al marco de promoción de la salud en el lugar de trabajo en Colombia. Conclusiones: el modelo de promoción de la salud de Nola Pender y el de condiciones de trabajo de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia permiten crear un acercamiento a un modelo integral de promoción de la salud en el lugar de trabajo para la implementación de programas enfocados en su contexto, el comportamiento, la percepción de salud y todas aquellas necesidades individuales de los trabajadores.

A large body of research has shown that terrorism enhances fears and undermines perceived safety in a high proportion of both directly exposed individuals and individuals without any form of direct exposure (i.e. no geographical proximity to an attack). Some studies have further suggested that fear of terrorism may adversely affect health in those without direct exposure and that this may constitute an important public health burden because of the number who are indirectly exposed. Limited studies have investigated threat and safety perception after workplace terrorism and the possible consequences for employee health. To explore whether perceived safety and threat in employees whose workplace was subjected to a terrorist attack are associated with subsequent sick-leave. A longitudinal questionnaire survey on governmental employees' perceived safety and threat at work one (T1) and two (T2) years after the 2011 terrorist attack on the Norwegian ministries was linked to registry data on doctor-certified sick-leave for two 9-month periods following T1 and T2 (N = 1703). There was fairly strong evidence (0.004 < p < 0.034) that higher perceived safety was associated with a close to 30% reduction in sick-leave in fully adjusted models which included terror exposure and symptom-based PTSD. There was inconclusive evidence that lower perceived threat was associated with reduced sick-leave in the full models. Reduced perceived safety in employees following workplace terrorism may have adverse health consequences of public health significance given how prevalent this perception seems to be. The study supports that post-terrorism response plans should include strategies on how to address the potentially large number of individuals suffering ill health after terror even if they were not directly exposed and do not meet criteria for PTSD.

Objective: To analyze occupational health and safety (OHS) management practices used by companies that allow teleworking and propose modifications to the OHS management system. Methods: The unit of study were companies in the services sector of Bogotá and their teleworkers. To identify company practices, , we conducted a survey of teleworkers and key informant interviews with those responsible for OHSh. Recommendations for adapting the elements of the teleworking management system were made based on the analysis and integration of the theoretical and conceptual framework with the practices of companies with teleworkers. Results: Overall, we observed that companies continue with usual strategies for workplace health and safety, without considering the different nature of the work. The synthesis that resulted from combining the theoretical and conceptual framework with the risk management analysis in companies identified that the system components could be modified for telework, specifically in the organization and planning, application and evaluation components of the OHS management system. Conclusions: Usual OHS risk management practices of companies with teleworkers should be improved by adjusting some of the components of the management system. These ad-justments include managing information and technological innovations by applying them to the organization and planning, application and evaluation components of the system.
