There is an increasing demand for nurses due to multiple factors viz; an aging population, greater diversifi cation in society, multiculturalism, marginalized populations and increasing technologies.1According to a study, “Bullying is defi ned as a situation in which someone is exposed to hostile behavior on the part of one or more persons in the work environment which aim continually and repeatedly to off end, oppress, maltreat, or to exclude or isolate over a long period of time”.2 Verbal abuse, threats, humiliation, intimidation, and behaviors that interfere with job performance are all considered workplace bullying. keywords: 10th; 9th; acts; adobe; association; available; bangalore; bullying; care; cency; community; december; diff; eff; experience; factors; false; frequency; harassment; health; hospital; ijosh; international; intimidation; journal; months; negative; nurses; nursing; occupational; organization; participants; patient; percentages; personal; physical; prevalence; quality; questionnaire; related; rest; results; safety; services; signifi; social; staff; status; stress; studies; study; subjects; tertiary; true; victims; violence; work; working; workplace; world; years cache: ijosh-25161.pdf plain text: ijosh-25161.txt item: #8 of 43 id: ijosh-25381 author: Kumara, Rashmi Paniye; Fathima, Farah Naaz; Fernandes, Steve; Xavier, Vinod; Ramesh, Naveen title: Absenteeism among female pluckers in a tea plantation in south India date: 2020-01-17 words: 3102 flesch: 52 summary: Key words: Absenteeism, pluckers, tea plantations, causes, South India Introduction India is the second largest producer and largest consumer of tea in the world.1,2 So, this study was undertaken to study absenteeism rates and the causes of absenteeism among female pluckers in a tea plantation in South India. keywords: /qfactor; absenteeism; adobe; age; available; causes; days; department; estates; experience; false; family; female; government; group; health; ijosh; illness; india; industry; international; job; journal; labourers; main; majority; management; member; month; number; occupational; place; plantation; pluckers; population; production; rate; safety; sector; south; study; tea; total; true; women; workers; working; years cache: ijosh-25381.pdf plain text: ijosh-25381.txt item: #9 of 43 id: ijosh-25998 author: Adhikary, Pratik; Teijlingen, E. title: Support networks in the Middle East & Malaysia: A qualitative study of Nepali returnee migrants' experiences date: 2020-01-17 words: 19 flesch: 71 summary: 403 Forbidden Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource.

There is a need to record heat stress in these industries as a self-regulatory mechanism and a need to invest in engineering interventions to protect workers from occupational heat stress. keywords: adaptive; ahmedabad; air; ambient; area; available; change; climate; cross; deviation; environment; factory; foundry; foundry units; furnace; global; globe; gloves; health; heat; heat stress; high; higher; humidity; india; industrial; maximum; mean; measurements; mill; minimum; months; mortality; n=3; occupational; parmar; physiological; ppes; protective; relative; rolling; rolling mill; safety; scale; season; sectional; shoes; small; standard; steel; steel rolling; strategies; stress; study; summer; table; temperature; threshold; types; units; use; vulnerability; waves; wbgt; winter; workers; working cache: ijosh-44241.pdf plain text: ijosh-44241.txt item: #28 of 43 id: ijosh-44269 author: Ogbaini-Emovon, Ephraim; Erah, Francis; Osagiede, Emmanuel Friday; Nnadi, Chinelo Juliana; Ogbetere, Yemihan; Tobin, Ekaete A.; Asogun, Danny; Okonofua, Martha; Akpede, George; Akhideno, Peter; Erameh, Cyril; Rafiu, Mojeed Olaitan; Ovienria, Wilson; Ephraim-Ogbaini, Catherina; Ojide, Chiedozie; Unigwe, Uche; Ireye, Faith; Günther, Stephan; Duraffour, Sophie; Okogbenin, Sylvanus title: Lassa Fever Infection among Healthcare Workers during the 2018 Outbreak in Nigeria date: 2023-07-04 words: 4865 flesch: 41 summary: Keywords: Healthcare workers, Lassa fever infection, Nigeria, Preventable calamity, 2018 outbreak Corresponding author: Emmanuel Friday Osagiede, Department of Community Medicine, Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Irrua, Nigeria.
