Item type:Publication, Linkages between workplace stressors and quality of care from health professionals' perspective - Macedonian experience(Wiley, 2014-05); ;Vera Basarovska; ; During last two decades, within the process of transition, the socio-economic reforms in Republic of Macedonia reflected on the national health care system. The objective of this article was to identify workplace stressors and factors that influence quality of care, from the perspective of health professionals (HPs), and to understand how they were linked in the context of such social circumstances. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Lung Function Impairment in Construction Workers – Influence of Smoking and Exposure Duration(Scientific Foundation SPIROSKI, 2021-05-08); ; ; ;Bislimovska, DraganaAtanasovska, AnetaAIM: The objective of the study was to assess the influence of exposure duration and smoking on ventilatory impairment among construction workers. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed, including 83 construction workers aged 18–64 years, compared to equivalent number of office controls matched by age, workplace exposure duration, and smoking status. Data on chronic respiratory symptoms, work history, and smoking status were collected by standardized questionnaire, while lung functional testing of the examined subjects was performed by spirometry. RESULTS: Mean values of spirometric parameters were lower in construction workers compared to controls with statistical significance registered for maximal expiratory flow (MEF25), MEF50, and MEF75. Lung functions of construction workers have been found to decrease in relation to exposure duration but reached significance only for small airways changes. There was a significant difference in detected ventilatory impairment between exposed workers and controls for any type of ventilatory impairment, as well as obstructive and combined ventilatory pattern and obstructive ventilatory pattern in small airways. Obstructive ventilatory impairment was significantly associated with life-time smoking in construction workers, while obstructive ventilatory pattern in small airways was significantly associated with life-time smoking. The combined effect of daily smoking, life-time smoking, and number of cigarettes smoked daily was shown to have a significant influence in their development. The risk for obstructive ventilatory pattern in small airways among exposed subjects was about 4 fold higher in those exposed more than 20 years (odds ratio [OR] = 3.68 [1.01–14.59] confidence interval [CI] 95%), and about 2.5 fold higher in smokers (OR = 2.57 [0.92-7.25] CI 95%). Exposure duration, smoking and age had independent effect only on small airways changes and force expiratory volume in the 1st s/force vital capacity %. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest the importance of the joint effect of job exposure in construction and daily smoking on the development of lung function impairment and airflow limitation, being dominant, especially on small airways. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, O-267 RESOURCES PREDICT HIGHER LEVELS OF JOB ENGAGEMENT AND JOB SATISFACTION: CROSS-SECTIONAL SURVEY AS A FIRST PHASE OF PROSPECTIVE LONGITUDINAL STUDY(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2024-07-01); ;Atanasovska, Aneta ;Bislimovska, Dragana; Marinova, TinaIntroduction The aim of this study was to analyze job resources as predictors of the levels of job engagement and job satisfaction in a random population of workers towards development of occupational health and safety strategy. Methods This cross-sectional survey was conducted during winter 2022/2023 as a first phase of prospective longitudinal study. We used series of questionnaires to evaluate demographics, job characteristics, job resources (teamwork, remuneration, relationship with supervisor, job crafting, and engaging leadership), job engagement, and job satisfaction. The average age of participants (N=1.014, 52.1% females) was 42.7±11.1 years while the mean tenure was 16.5±10.9 years. They have worked on average 41.5±6.4 hours/week. Aiming to evaluate the role of job resources, controlling for age, gender, tenure, and working hours/week, hierarchical multiple regression models were tested for vigor, dedication, and job satisfaction. Control variables were entered in the first step, while different job resources were entered in three subsequent steps. Results Bivariate analyses showed significant positive correlations of vigor, dedication, and job satisfaction with analyzed job resources. Teamwork (β=.12), task crafting (β=.09), cognitive crafting (β=.24), and empowering leadership (β=.20) (R2=.31) predicted higher levels of vigor. Higher dedication was predicted by teamwork (β=.11), task crafting (β=.08), cognitive crafting (β=.26), relational crafting (β=.09) and inspiring leadership (β=.16) (R2=.32). Teamwork (β=.19), remuneration (β=.22), supervisor support (β=.11), cognitive crafting (β=.09), and empowering leadership (β=.14) (R2=.50) predicted higher levels of job satisfaction. Discussion -Conclusion Occupational health and safety strategy should take into account job crafting and engaging leadership components as significant predictors of higher job engagement and job satisfaction. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Work-related asthma in automobile spray painters: two case reports(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2008-06); ; ; ;Risteska-Kuc, SnezanaThis report describes two patients who had developed asthma after working as automobile painters with isocyanate-based aerosol paint for two years or over. In both patients asthma was confirmed using the standard diagnostic procedure. One of the subjects was atopic. One was ex-smoker and the other had never smoked. Neither had a family history of asthma. The symptoms occurred after workplace exposure lasting two years in one patient and three in the other. As both reported work-relatedness of the symptoms, they underwent serial peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) measurement and bronchoprovocation testing. Significant work-related changes in PEFR diurnal variations and in non-specific bronchial hyperresponsiveness (NSBH) were observed in one patient, suggesting allergic occupational asthma (OA), while the other patient was diagnosed work-exacerbated asthma (WEA). Our data confirm that spray painting is an occupation with increased risk of respiratory impairment and asthma. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Exercise-related respiratory symptoms and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in industrial bakers(Informa UK Limited, 2013); ; ; ; In order to assess prevalence and characteristics of exercise-related respiratory symptoms (ERRS) and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in industrial bakery, the authors performed a cross-sectional study including 57 bakers and an equal number of office workers studied as a control. Evaluation of examined subjects included completion of a questionnaire, skin prick tests to common inhalant and occupational allergens, spirometry, and exercise and histamine challenge. The authors found a similar prevalence of ERRS and EIB in both bakers and controls. EIB was significantly associated with atopy, asthma, family history of asthma, and positive histamine challenge in either group, whereas in bakers it was closely related to sensitization to occupational allergens (p = .032). Bronchial reaction to exercise was significantly higher in bakers with EIB (25.7% vs 19.2%; p = .021). These findings suggest that occupational exposure in industrial bakery may accentuate bronchoconstrictive response to exercise.
