Two Perspectives on Work, Disability, and Health:An Overview
Full text linkThis introductory chapter presents “Two perspectives on work, disability and health.” With the first perspective, the contribution of occupational hazards and stressful working conditions to the burden of chronic disease and disability is illustrated, by reviewing and discussing evidence related to leading disorders and impairments. Moreover, options of reducing this burden by worksite health promotion and by targeted social policies are presented. With the second perspective, the socioeconomic and psychosocial aspects of persons living with a disability are explored, with special emphasis on (re)employment opportunities or restrictions. Models of good practice and innovative rehabilitation strategies inform readers about most recent developments. Both perspectives complement each other, and they offer new knowledge that may be instrumental in strengthening efforts of professional and other stakeholders to promote health-conducive working conditions, to prevent work-related disability risks, and to improve access or return to work, rehabilitation, and social integration. The two perspectives on work, disability and health, are illustrated by 34 chapters in Part I and Part II
IGLOO: a framework for return to work among workers with mental health problems
Full text linkIt is important for society and for organizations to support workers returning to work following mental health-related absence. Recent evidence points to an increase in mental health problems among the general population, with approximately 38.2% of the EU population suffering from a mental disorder each year (European Commission 2008, 2016). Of those who take a period of sick leave, 55% of workers make unsuccessful attempts to return to work (RTW), and 68% of those who do return have less responsibility and are paid less than before (Matrix Insight 2013). A number of challenges have been reported by workers following a period of long-term sickness absence; however current research has been somewhat limited by a focus on the initial return and a siloed approach where work and non-work contexts are considered separately.
In this book chapter, we apply the IGLOO (individual, group, leader, organizational and overarching contextual factors that may support sustainable RTW) model (Nielsen et al. 2018). In doing so, we focus on the sickness absence before return to work and consider the factors that could support return to work following long-term sickness absence. We provide an overview of the resources that may facilitate return to work among workers who are on sick leave with mental health problems. Based on the IGLOO framework, we identify and discuss resources, i.e., factors that facilitate return to work at five levels: the individual (e.g., beliefs about being able to manage a successful return to work, health behaviors), the group (work groups, friends, and family), the leader (line managers and healthcare provides who take the lead in supporting workers return), the organizational (Human Resource policies and external organizations such a charities), and the overarching context (social security systems). We discuss these resources that pertain to the work context but also the non-work context and highlight the importance of understanding how resources apply at different levels. We argue that there is a need to understand how societal factors, such as legislation, culture, and national policies, impact return to work outcomes. We propose a holistic approach that focuses on integrating the resources in and outside work and is needed to facilitate successful and sustainable return to work for workers with mental health problems
Trends of Europeanization in social welfare politics. IHS Political Science Series 82, July 2002
Full text linkFritz W. Scharpf (2000 and 2002) defines the term Europeanization as the progressive shift of governmental tasks to the European level. According to this understanding he identifies four modes of Europeanization. Further, he recognizes the establishment of minimum standards and the open method of co-ordination as specific modes of Europeanization. This paper first relates the welfare political goals and problems of both named methods of Europeanization in social welfare politics, then describes the political processes which accompany them, and subsequently tests whether Scharpf’s analysis can be affirmed
Mental health, education, and work in Canada, the Netherlands, and the United States:a comparative, life course investigation
Full text linkCanada, the Netherlands, and the United States differ in their social safety nets, education and labour market systems. This dissertation explores how these differences impact adolescent mental health and entry into higher education and work. The dissertation used population-level cohort data of individuals spanning adolescence to young adulthood. Findings show that across the three countries, adolescents exhibit consistent mental health patterns—with most experiencing low symptom levels over time but some experiencing increasing and/or decreasing symptom frequency—that may be related to physiological and social changes during the transition to adulthood. Higher levels of mental health problems at any point in adolescence are associated with more difficulties in education and work in young adulthood. Additionally, this dissertation suggests that how societies design their social welfare, education, and labour market systems affects the (un)equal distribution of adolescent mental health within a society and the potential for mental health problems to negatively impact education and work in young adulthood. The findings imply that adolescents with mental health problems will have greater success in education and the labour market as young adults if societies more equitably provide economic, educational and employment opportunities. The need for reforms in family, education, and labour market policy is particularly high in the USA. These findings may have implications for recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic given its mental health and labour market impacts. They stress the importance of examining and addressing gaps in the equitable provision of resources to young people with mental health problems who are transitioning to adulthood
Der eigene Ort – Safe Place-Arbeit mit essgestörten Jugendlichen in der Integrativen Kinder- und Jugendlichenpsychotherapie
No full textDie vorliegende Arbeit betrachtet das Konzept des Safe Place, wie es im Rahmen der Integrativen Therapie von Katz-Bernstein entwickelt wurde, und differenziert es anhand der klinischen Arbeit mit essgestörten jugendlichen Patientinnen weiter aus. Zunächst werden Diagnose, Ätiologie, Psychodynamik und Psychotherapie von Anorexia Nervosa und Bulimia Nervosa dargestellt, dann das körpertherapeutische Angebot innerhalb der Fachklinik für Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie in Bad Neuenahr erläutert, innerhalb dessen die Arbeit mit dem Safe Place stattfand. Diese wird vertiefend mit Aspekten des „potential space“ (Winnicott), der Bindungstheorie und den immanenten Möglichkeiten zur Abgrenzung in Beziehung gesetzt und anhand von drei Fallbeispielen veranschaulicht.This article discusses the Katz-Bernstein Integrative Therapy Concept of „Safe Place“ and expands it further by application in the treatment of in-patients with eating disorders.The author, a Movement Therapist at the Bad Neuenahr Clinic for Children andAdolescent Psychiatry, describes the Diagnosis, aetiology and Psychotherapy of Anorexia and Bulimia. Using three case Studies, specific aspects of „Safe Place“ as „Potential Space“ (Winnicott), attachment theory and the inherent possibilities of Marking Off are also illustrated in detail.https://www.fpi-publikation.de/polyloge/18-2008-hensler-ute-elisabeth-der-eigene-ort-safe-place-arbeit-mit-essgestoerten-jugendlichen/peerReviewedpublishedVersio
