Bogen fokuserer på de elementer, der udgør det psykiske arbejdsmiljø. Og på, hvorfor det er så vigtigt at værne om det. Den beskriver og diskuterer en lang række centrale begreber, som giver overblik over de mange faktorer, der spiller ind på det psykiske arbejdsmiljø, samt den nyeste forskning på området. Sundt psykisk arbejdsmiljø er ifølge arbejdsmiljøloven en rettighed - det ligger fast. Men hvad, mange glemmer, er, at der med det sunde arbejdsmiljø også frigøres enorme ressourcer og kreativitet. Hvis man slipper medarbejderne fri, anerkender deres kompetencer og giver dem indflydelse på deres arbejdsopgaver og deres egen hverdag, vil det både give glade medarbejdere og gode resultater på bundlinjen. Læs om: - Hvad er psykisk arbejdsmiljø? - Stress - et nøglebegreb - Overbelastning/underbelastning - Frihed og indflydelse på arbejdet - Særligt belastede brancher - Vold og trusler på arbejdspladsen - Mobning - Udbrændthed - Arbejde og arbejdsløshed - Ligestilling og arbejdsmiljø - Arbejdstiden og livet uden for arbejdet - Nye måder at organisere arbejdet på - Det gode og udviklende arbejde - Demokrati og arbejdsmiljø - Et 10-punktsprogram for et bedre arbejdsmiljø - Aktions- og handlemuligheder - Arbejdspladsvurderinger - Anerkendelse af psykiske arbejdsskader Bogen er skrevet både til den enkelte medarbejder, til ledelsen og til konsulenter på området. Den er let tilgængelig i sit sprog og overskuelig i sin opbygning. Det kan naturligvis være en hård kamp at forbedre arbejdsmiljøet, men med Graversgårds mange gode argumenter er man helt sikkert bedre rustet til at komme i gang. John Graversgård er arbejdspsykolog og ansat i Arbejdstilsynet.

The main objective of translational health science is to concentrate on discovering healthcare products for all people where care gaps exist. This book examines the applications of translational research, identifies its difficulties, outlines its essential characteristics, considers healthcare management strategies, and examines the public's perspectives today. This book assists aspiring implementation scientists in researching this area because the discipline is still relatively young for the wide range of researchers tackling the challenge of clinical and translational science, a field dedicated to examining human health and disease, interventions, and outcomes to develop new treatment approaches, devices, and modalities to improve health. This book Edition is the most authoritative and timely resource that introduces new physiological and therapeutic processes to engage the fastest-growing scientific outcomes from academic and industrial research. The chapters in this book give insights into perspectives on the field of clinical and translational science and discuss artificial intelligence in drug development and conventional and novel clinical trial designs. There is a lot of hope that using artificial intelligence (AI) will significantly advance all facets of healthcare, from diagnosis to therapy. AI is prepared to assist medical staff with various duties, including administrative workflow, clinical documentation, patient outreach, and specialist support like image analysis, medical device automation, and patient monitoring. Some of the most important uses of AI in healthcare will be covered in this book by eminent Scientists, Academicians, and Industrial persons from both clinical and non-clinical fields.

Back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide; the World Health Organization regards back pain as a condition for which the greatest number of people may benefit from rehabilitation. It is estimated that low back pain alone affects 619 million people globally and this is estimated to rise to 843 million people by 2050.

Gas, both in its regular state and as a fundamental part of different modern cycles, assumes a multi-layered part in the domains of nature and industry. In nature, gases are unavoidable, containing a huge piece of Earth's environment. The essential gaseous petrols incorporate nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, comprising most of the air, while follow gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water fume add to the sensitive equilibrium that supports life on our planet. In the regular world, gases are major to processes like photosynthesis, breath, and the water cycle. Plants use carbon dioxide and daylight to create oxygen through photosynthesis, a pivotal system that upholds life by producing the breathable air we rely upon. In the mean time, creatures, including people, participate in breath, a cycle that consumes oxygen and deliveries carbon dioxide. The water cycle includes the change of water between its fluid, gas (water fume), and strong (ice) states, driven by the sun's energy and air conditions. In the modern scene, gases take on an alternate yet similarly essential job. Modern cycles frequently depend on gases for assembling, energy creation, and different synthetic responses. For example, hydrogen fills in as a feedstock for the development of smelling salts, a critical part in composts. Gaseous petrol, a combination principally made out of methane, is a flexible energy source utilized for power age, warming, and as a natural substance in the development of synthetic compounds and plastics. Carbon dioxide, frequently connected with natural worries, likewise assumes a significant part in different modern applications. For instance, carbon dioxide is utilized in the food and refreshment industry for carbonation, as well as in processes like dry ice creation and cooling applications. Moreover, carbon catch and capacity advancements mean to alleviate the effect of modern emanations on the climate by catching carbon dioxide before it is delivered into the environment. Gases are indispensable to the idea of cryogenics, which includes the investigation of very low temperatures. In businesses, for example, medical care, cryogenic gases like fluid nitrogen track down applications in protecting natural examples, freezing and moving clinical items, and supporting operations. Besides, gases like oxygen and acetylene are fundamental for welding and cutting cycles, adding to development, creation, and fix exercises across different ventures. While gases are characteristic for the normal request of our planet, their essential usage in industry drives mechanical advancement and financial turn of events. The sensitive harmony between the regular job of gases in supporting life and their groundbreaking applications in industry highlights the significance of understanding and mindfully dealing with these fundamental components as we continued looking for feasible turn of events.

In this groundbreaking interdisciplinary work, the authors focus on organizational analysis to understand workplace wellbeing, deviating from previous research that mostly looks at the individual worker or intervention. In addressing the question of why workplace health and wellbeing practices initiatives fall short of delivering sustained improvements in worker wellbeing, this book moves beyond localized explanations of the failure of specific interventions. Instead, it creates theoretical frameworks that explain how wellbeing at work can be improved and sustained. The authors use evidence from systematic and comprehensive surveys of the literature as well as new empirical research, and present an explanatory framework of the processes through which organizations change to implement and accommodate workplace health and wellbeing practices. Learning, adaptation and continuation explain successful implementation of workplace health and wellbeing practices, while Gestalting, fracturing and grafting explain how organizations resolve or negotiate conflict between health and wellbeing practices and existing organizational procedures, systems and practices. In addition, the authors reflect on the implications for research of reframing the unit of analysis as the organization and how studies on workplace wellbeing practices can provide a conceptual platform for thinking about the way organizations can create social value in a broader sense. This book, authored by experts in their field, is a great resource for academics and professionals of organizational studies and of worker wellbeing across the social sciences, behavioural sciences, business and management courses, wellbeing research, and labour studies.

This book gives a sincere yet honest representation of modern nursing in all its forms rather than purely focusing only on the ¿good¿ ¿the funny¿ ¿the sad¿ or the ¿ugly¿. This book provides a collection of stories that concentrate on nursing, that validates, educates and encourages those undertaking a career in nursing. In addition, this book also celebrates the amazing rewards that the unique career of nursing has to offer, for those who can find a way to persevere through the challenges.There is a high rate of burnout among nurses in their early days of practice, because of the high demands placed on them by the healthcare system; hospital administrations; the expectations of management, patients, families and carers; and the sheer size of the patient loads with complex needs these days.The global pandemic erupting has now pushed a health care service that was already under pressure to now be in complete crisis. The world now knows that we need more nurses employed to be able to move forward from this calamity. This book closes that gap in that it encourages the readers to continue to pursue a career in nursing (despite the challenges that the profession holds) while also positively promoting the incredible work that nurses do.The chapters within this book, explore a cornucopia of different aspects of nursing including: caring for dying patients, dealing with bodily fluids and how patients are not very good at working out how sick they really are. The book also covers how to manage the care of patients with complex mental illnesses and those contemplating suicide. This book is targeted at nurses who may feel a little overwhelmed with the world that is nursing but who wish to thrive and further their career. Discussion questions at the end of the book further add to the reflection and learning process of the reader.

This compact book uniquely examines individual lived experience with spinal cord injury (SCI). It provides education and a clearer understanding of the many facets of a SCI -- medical, physical, psychological, cognitive, personal, and social -- in a single compact volume, so that readers learn the effect a SCI can have on a person. The contents also include resources for more specific exploration of information. SCI is a direct public health concern due to not only the cause of the injury itself, most often of violent origin, but also how the individuals perceive themselves after the injury and their participation in society, as well as how society welcomes them back. This compact book has four distinct chapters, each one addressing a different component of SCI with a set of resources to guide the individual with SCI, their family and their friends in the process. It first explores the physical as a means to providean understanding of what body changes occur. From there, it goes on to examine what is the subjective meaning and lived experience of disability for persons with SCI. The brief ends with an examination of what organizations and programs exist to promote independence and a sense of community for persons with SCI.The Physical, Personal, and Social Impact of Spinal Cord Injury: From the Loss of Identity to Achieving a Life Worth Living is a book with broad appeal. It is written in such a way that it serves as a useful and accessible resource for people who work with persons with SCI, students and instructors with an interest in the subject, as well as persons with SCI themselves and their families.

This book looks at the ways living through the COVID-19 pandemic has deepened our understanding of the crises people experience in their relationships with work. Leading experts explore burnout as an occupational phenomenon that arises through mismatches between workplace and individuals on the day-to-day patterns in work life.

This book explores the role of social relations in the ways that people construct, mobilize and consume meaning about wellbeing in a police organization. It traverses ethnographic data and captures insights from individuals, revealing ideological-laden tensions across the hierarchy.

"Combined with the more traditional employer occupational safety and health protection activities are newer employment-based programs to promote better health through helping workers quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or exercise more regularly. In support of these efforts, some employers have made changes in their policies and facilities to support physical activity and healthier eating, and some employers connect with community resources for health education, health fairs, and other services. This diverse array of activities most typically has been planned, managed, and assessed - to the extent they exist in the workplace at all - by different, often uncoordinated departments within the business entity. Some employers have reconceptualized their safety, prevention, and promotion initiatives and attempted to bring them together into a coherent whole. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has supported this integration, defining Total Worker Health as "a strategy integrating occupational safety and health protection with health promotion to prevent worker injury and illness and to advance health and well-being." In May 2014, with support from NIOSH, the Institute of Medicine organized a workshop on Total Worker Health. Rather than a review of published literature, this workshop sought input from a wide variety of on-the-ground stakeholders regarding their experiences with integrating occupational safety and health protection with health promotion in the workplace. Promising and Best Practices in Total Worker Health is the summary of the discussions and presentations of the event. This report identifies prevalent and best practices in programs that integrate occupational safety and health protection with health promotion in small, medium, and large workplaces; employer and employee associations; academia; government agencies; and other stakeholder groups."--
