Summary: This study investigated the influencing factors of psychological symptoms among coal miners in Xinjiang, finding that high levels of job burnout and occupational stress were risk factors for psychological symptoms. Both occupational stress and job burnout had direct effects on psychological symptoms, with occupational stress also having an indirect effect through job burnout.

Summary: The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among underground coal miners was investigated, and a risk prediction model was developed and validated. The highest prevalence of MSDs was in the lower back, while the lowest was in the hips and buttocks. Age, length of service, annual income, and occupational stress, burnout, and depression were identified as independent predictors of MSDs. The constructed nomogram model showed good discriminatory ability and accuracy.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the occupational hazards of Public Health Inspectors (PHIs) in Greece and their relationships with burnout and job satisfaction. The results showed that psychosocial, ergonomic, and organizational risks were more prevalent for Greek PHIs compared to other risk categories. Psychosocial risks were significant predictors of burnout, while organizational risks and emotional exhaustion were linked to job satisfaction. PHIs working in rural areas reported higher perceptions of biological risks and burnout. This study adds new information to occupational health and safety in the field of public health inspection.

Summary: Fatigue, stress, and health-related quality of life are associated with burn-out among rescuers. Lower quality of life and higher levels of fatigue and stress independently predict greater emotional exhaustion, while lower quality of life and fatigue predict more cynicism burn-out. Higher education and stress are positively associated with lower severity of burn-out in the professional efficacy domain.

Summary: This study examines the mechanism through which job insecurity affects coal miners' safety compliance. It finds that emotional exhaustion and mind wandering mediate the relationship between job insecurity and safety compliance. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the internal mechanisms of job insecurity and its impact on individual safety performance among coal miners.

Summary: During the COVID-19 outbreak, 40.1% of Internal Medicine physicians in Spain experienced burn-out syndrome, which was independently associated with managing patients with SARS-CoV-2, lack of compensation for overtime work, and fear of infecting their families. Initiating programs to prevent and treat burn-out in frontline physicians during the COVID-19 outbreak is essential.

Summary: This cross-sectional pilot study conducted in the first quarter of 2021 in Greece aimed to report the job risks of public health inspectors and investigate their relationships with burnout and job satisfaction. The study found that biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial risks are most severe in public health inspection. Higher levels of emotional exhaustion were associated with prevalent ergonomic and psychosocial risks, while job satisfaction was related to ergonomic risks and demographic variables. The perceived quality of job training was negatively related to psychosocial risks.
