Item type:Publication, The mental health of healthcare staff working during the COVID-19 crisis: their working hours as a boundary condition(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2021-01-01)Healthcare staff operate at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19 and hence face enormous physical and mental pressures. We aim to investigate healthcare staff’s mental health issues and the associated predictors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, this paper aims to identify some unique predictors of healthcare staff’s mental health issues in Iran, the second country after China to experience a major COVID-19 crisis. Methods: An online survey of 280 healthcare staff in all 31 provinces of Iran assessed staff’s mental distress (K6), depression, and anxiety (PHQ-4) during April 5–20, 2020 during the COVID-19 crisis. Results: Nearly a third of healthcare staff surpassed the cutoff for distress, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Females or more educated healthcare staff were more likely to experience distress. Those who were unsure whether they had COVID-19 were more likely to experience distress and depression symptoms. The number of COVID-19 cases among a healthcare worker’s colleagues or friends positively predicted the worker’s anxiety symptoms. Amongst healthcare staff, doctors were less likely than radiology technologists to experience distress and anxiety symptoms. Technicians and obstetrics staff experienced fewer anxiety symptoms. The age and the weekly working days of healthcare staff interacted such that age is asignificant predictor of mental health issues among younger but not older healthcare staff. Conclusion: The identification of the predictors of mental health issues can guide healthcare organizations to screen healthcare workers who are more likely to be mentally vulnerable in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Time to Disconnect: Reflections on a “New” Right with Old Content(Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Instituto de Astronomia, 2023-07-01)This article addresses a relatively “new” topic that, with regard to the rapid development of ICT and the increase of remote work due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has risen intense debates and questions in the world of work: digital disconnection. For this purpose, the authors have divided their research into two sections. Firstly, they take a general approach, based on comparative experience and the corresponding doctrinal development, the content of this right, its legal nature, and the controversial debate on the need for its autonomous regulation. Secondly, digital disconnection is analyzed in terms of the regulations that have historically governed working and rest time in Peru. Finally, the conclusions of this research are presented.
