Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

Home- based work has increased in recent decades and intensified as a result of policies created to control the spread of COVID-19 creating a labour market in rapid transition. Yet little attention has been paid to the issues associated with occupational health and safety or to how employers will monitor and maintain employee health and safety in a home- based work environment. Using historical case studies from Victorian Britain this book reflects on the past to examine resurfacing health and safety concerns that shaped and continue to shape the home- based working experience. Anchored by family research case studies this book presents documents and newspaper accounts about the diverse experiences of three real people who lived and worked from their homes in the Victorian era. Supported by academic and popular literature on work and policy about the era the book discusses changing worldviews and social context that shaped occupational health and safety at the time and critiques the outcomes of policies that were challenged to address these risks. The case study experiences are used as a touchstone between the past and present to draw parallels between important health and safety concerns that may be resurfacing in our modern post-COVID transition to home-based work. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers academics and postgraduate students of occupational health and safety occupational science labour history and human resource management as well as Victorian studies. It will also be of interest to policymakers and practitioners working across the fields of workplace and occupational health and safety. | Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

The Routledge Companion to Mental Health at Work

The Routledge Companion to Mental Health at Work

The issue of mental health at work has become a hot topic in both the popular media and academic writings. Although job stress and mental ill-health are associated with negative outcomes for individuals teams and organizations there has been some suggestion that changing the work environment and creating healthy workplaces can improve worker health. Much of the current works in the general of health is fractured coming from a variety of disciplines and perspectives without an organizing framework to help guide research and practice in the area. Having this individualized compartmentalized perspective constrains our ability to fully understand the scope of the issue the key factors in supporting or detracting from one’s mental health and interventions focusing on mental health at work. Given the importance of understanding mental health at work and the current lack of coverage on workplace mental health there is a need for a book to provide a holistic overview of the issue targeting the environmental individual and group influences of mental health and well-being as well as the impact on individuals and workplaces. This handbook provides a conceptual framework for examining these issues. Each chapter offers an in-depth examination of the key facets of mental health at work focusing both on the seminal and current literature on the topic and practical suggestions for best practices for organizations. With contributions from leading experts authors address the state-of-the-art research and integrate current events that are shaping the way we work and our wellbeing at work. This edited collection will be of interest to researchers academics policymakers and advanced students in the fields of human resource management organizational psychology and management. | The Routledge Companion to Mental Health at Work

Although environmental health has received some recognition as a field which can positively impact on the social determinants of health it remains little known outside its immediate sphere of influence.

It discusses environmental health in the context of public health the role of the profession issues of visibility and opportunities for impact in today’s policy landscape.

Philosophy of Population Health Philosophy for a New Public Health Era

Philosophy of Population Health Philosophy for a New Public Health Era

Population health has recently grown from a series of loosely connected critiques of twentieth-century public health and medicine into a theoretical framework with a corresponding field of research—population health science. Its approach is to promote the public’s health through improving everyday human life: afford-able nutritious food clean air safe places where children can play living wages etc. It recognizes that addressing contemporary health challenges such as the prevalence of type 2 diabetes will take much more than good hospitals and public health departments. Blending philosophy of science/medicine public health ethics and history this book offers a framework that explains analyses and largely endorses the features that define this relatively new field. Presenting a philosophical perspective Valles helps to clarify what these features are and why they matter including: searching for health’s upstream causes in social life embracing a professional commitment to studying and ameliorating the staggering health inequities in and between populations; and reforming scientific practices to foster humility and respect among the many scientists and non- scientists who must work collaboratively to promote health. Featuring illustrative case studies from around the globe at the end of all main chapters this radical monograph is written to be accessible to all scholars and advanced students who have an interest in health—from public health students to professional philosophers. | Philosophy of Population Health Philosophy for a New Public Health Era

Health Behavior Change Theories Methods and Interventions

We live in an era where people live longer but also suffer from more chronic illnesses. Yet these two issues present not only significant challenges to healthcare professionals but also governments seeking cost-effective ways to manage their health and social care budgets.

This is the first textbook to present not only the theoretical foundations that explain health behavior change but also the methods by which change can be assessed and the practical contexts where theory and method can be applied. Covering behavior change aimed at improving health as well as preventing disease it places behavior change firmly in context with the social and demographic changes which make it such an urgent issue from the rise in levels of obesity to an aging population. The book considers the role of individuals but also other important influences on health behavior such as the environment in which people live public policy and technological changes. Fostering a critical perspective and including case studies in each chapter with key issues highlighted throughout the book provides a complete understanding of health behavior change from its theoretical building blocks to the practical challenges of developing and testing an intervention.
