By drawing from a diverse occupational population, this research aims to reduce any occupational specific biases which are prevalent in shift-work research. Subject and methods Current data included 7607 workers (shift workers n = 832) from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics of Australia cohort study. The combined physical activity–sleep index comprised three physical activity components and three sleep health components: achieving moderate (1pt) or high (2pts) IPAQ classification; accruing ≥30% of physical activity as vigorous intensity (1pt); meeting sleep duration recommendations on a work night (1pt); and non-work night (1pt); and reporting no insomnia symptoms (1pt) (higher score = healthy behaviour, max. 6). Generalised linear modelling was used to compare behaviours of shift and non-shift workers. Results Findings showed shift workers reported significantly lower activity–sleep scores (3.59 vs 3.73, p < 0.001), lower sleep behaviour sub-score (2.01 vs. 2.22, p < 0.001) and were more likely to report insomnia symptoms (p < 0.001) compared to non-shift workers. No difference was reported for overall physical activity (shift = 1.58 vs. non-shift = 1.51, p = 0.383). Conclusion When viewed in conjunction using the combined activity–sleep index, shift workers displayed significantly poorer combined behaviours when compared to non-shift workers. ]]> Tue 25 Jul 2023 10:09:12 AEST ]]> Work-related asthma: a position paper from the thoracic society of Australia and New Zealand and the national asthma council Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40361 Thu 14 Jul 2022 08:03:43 AEST ]]> Mining, maps and mindfulness: the Gretley appeal to the Full Bench of the Industrial Court of NSW https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4875 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:13:45 AEDT ]]> A systematic review of musculoskeletal disorders among dental professionals https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7291 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:42:13 AEDT ]]> Workplace tobacco control: the nexus of public and occupational health https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7927 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:41:40 AEDT ]]> Occupational health for health care professionals: caring for the carers (book review) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7523 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:38:31 AEDT ]]> Highly cited articles in environmental and occupational health, 1919-1960 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7539 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:37:42 AEDT ]]> A self-directed fieldwork program to provide alternative occupational health placements for undergraduate occupational therapy students https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1893 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:33:22 AEDT ]]> Manslaughter by managers: the personal liability of company officers for death flowing from company workplace safety breach https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:761 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:31:12 AEDT ]]> Occupational stress and psychosomatic complaints among health professionals in Beijing, China https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15311 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:20:00 AEDT ]]> Citation analysis and impact factor trends of 5 core journals in occupational medicine, 1975-1984 (Addendum) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10878 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:14:29 AEDT ]]> Highly cited articles in environmental and occupational health, 1961-1974 (Addendum) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10879 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:14:28 AEDT ]]> An international review of musculoskeletal disorders in the dental hygiene profession https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10547 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:10:18 AEDT ]]> Establishing national priorities for Australian occupational health and safety research https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11351 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:08:15 AEDT ]]> Musculoskeletal disorders in a 3 Year longitudinal cohort of dental hygiene students https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20816 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:59 AEDT ]]> Optimism and turbulence in the fifties: the journal becomes an 'archive,' January 1950 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17122 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:28 AEDT ]]> Predictors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among dental hygienists https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21597 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:27 AEDT ]]> Age-related injury and compensation claim rates in heavy industry https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20867 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:57:51 AEDT ]]> Maintaining the momentum in EOH: issue 1 of the Journal of Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology, January 1936 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17939 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:56:33 AEDT ]]> Nurses' sharps, including needlestick, injuries in public and private healthcare facilities in New South Wales, Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21242 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:03 AEDT ]]> Is clinical performance adversely affected by wearing gloves during paediatric peripheral intravenous cannulation? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18806 0.05). Higher incidence of significant blood spillage during the procedure was observed among clinicians wearing no gloves (16.74%) in comparison with their glove-wearing counterparts (9.03%, P < 0.05). One needlestick injury was recorded in the present study period. There was no difference in blood culture contamination rate between glove-wearing group and no-gloves group (3.94% vs 3.76%, P > 0.05). Conclusions: The present study shows that the use of protective gloves was not associated with adverse outcomes of clinical performance during paediatric cannulation. The low compliance rate of gloves use is alarming, and many clinicians might be exposed to potential blood-borne infections. Clinicians should be encouraged and supported to use gloves for paediatric cannulation.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:04 AEDT ]]> Citation analysis and impact factor trends of 5 core journals in occupational medicine,1985-2006 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4789 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:20:40 AEDT ]]> Occupational health in fairy tales https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24421 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:14:26 AEDT ]]> A systematic review of prevalence and impact of symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction in identified workforce groups https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24627 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:11:51 AEDT ]]> Culture, teams, and organizations: a qualitative exploration of female nurses' and midwives' experiences of urinary symptoms at work https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47597 Mon 23 Jan 2023 15:17:26 AEDT ]]> A systematic review of workplace behavioral interventions to promote sleep health in men https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38536 Fri 29 Oct 2021 10:15:52 AEDT ]]>
