Perceptions and Experiences of Caregiver-Employees, Employers, and Health Care Professionals With Caregiver-Friendly Workplace Policy in Hong Kong: Thematic Analysis

In addition, employers (ERs) are increasingly adopting caregiver-friendly workplace policies (CFWPs) to mitigate some of the caregivers’ burden [7]. For instance, about 80% of ERs in the United States provide some CFWP [12]. CFWP typically includes flexible working arrangements, support services, and paid or unpaid leave [13] to help CEs manage their multiple roles and improve their work-life balance [7].

Healthy Kai (Food) Checker Web-Based Tool to Support Healthy Food Policy Implementation: Development and Usability Study

Workplace food environments, including hospitals, have been recognized as an important factor for employees’ health promotion and well-being due to their potential for broad and sustainable population reach [6], as well as the fact that the majority of the adult population works [7-9]. When this study began, the New Zealand health system was structured into 20 district health boards (DHBs) responsible for delivering national health care services through hospitals and clinical centers.

Investigation of Study Procedures to Estimate Sensitivity and Reliability of a Virtual Physical Assessment Developed for Workplace Concussions: Method-Comparison Feasibility Study

Investigation of Study Procedures to Estimate Sensitivity and Reliability of a Virtual Physical Assessment Developed for Workplace Concussions: Method-Comparison Feasibility Study

Workplace concussions impose a significant burden on the health care system, insurance providers, employers, and injured workers [1]. Conducting effective assessments after a workplace concussion is important for guiding intervention and facilitating recovery [2]. In this context, it is crucial to use measures that accurately capture deficits experienced by workers who are reporting persisting symptoms post concussion [3-5].

Authors’ Reply: Promoting Oral Health Literacy Among UAE Public Sector Employees

We would like to extend our gratitude to the author for their insightful comments [1] on our published article, “Promoting Health Literacy in the Workplace Among Civil Servants: Cross-Sectional Study” [2]. Their input significantly enhances discussions around health literacy (HL) and oral health literacy (OHL) in diverse populations and work environments, particularly regarding the United Arab Emirates. OHL and HL are crucial for improving health outcomes.

Promoting Oral Health Literacy Among UAE Public Sector Employees

The recent publication “Promoting Health Literacy in the Workplace Among Civil Servants: Cross-Sectional Study” by Carrouel et al, in JMIR Public Health & Surveillance, is strikingly intriguing [1]. Harnessing the potential of health promotion, particularly health literacy in the workplace, is clever, given the fact that more and more employees spend a huge proportion of their daily hours at their workplace.

Facilitators of and Barriers to Teachers’ Engagement With Consumer Technologies for Stress Management: Qualitative Study

Workplace stress was reported nearly 200 years ago and has been described by Jackson [1] as “psychological pressures generated by the unfettered growth of industrial and technological capitalism.” When these pressures overwhelm, they cause distress (hereafter just referred to as stress) and stress continues as a pervasive phenomenon today.

Newly Qualified Canadian Nurses’ Experiences With Digital Health in the Workplace: Comparative Qualitative Analysis

Potentially, these gaps can have a negative impact on nursing graduates as they transition to the workplace. According to a recent study [24] involving clinical managers and newly registered nurses (RNs) in the United Kingdom, researchers identified several factors impacting these nurses in the workplace including technology infrastructure, time, skills, digital literacy training, support, leadership, familiarity, and confidence: creating barriers to optimal nursing practice with technology.

Promoting Health Literacy in the Workplace Among Civil Servants: Cross-Sectional Study

As work is a key social determinant of health [19], the workplace represents a fundamental context in terms of health. However, in the workplace, OHL and general HL levels remains poorly documented. Better knowledge of these will permit implementing specific health promotion programs in the workplace. Indeed, the workplace represents an opportunity because most adults have a job, and full-time workers spend most of their time in the workplace; work is an important part of most people’s lives [20,21].
