Pilot Influenza Syndromic Surveillance System Based on Absenteeism and Temperature in China: Development and Usability Study

Pilot Influenza Syndromic Surveillance System Based on Absenteeism and Temperature in China: Development and Usability Study

Absenteeism is an influenza surveillance indicator recommended by the World Health Organization and an important determinant adopted in the school-based syndromic surveillance system (SSS). In 1979, Peterson et al [6] demonstrated the effectiveness of school absenteeism for influenza surveillance. Since then, several studies have discussed the value of absenteeism surveillance from different perspectives.

School Attendance Registers for the Syndromic Surveillance of Infectious Intestinal Disease in UK Children: Protocol for a Retrospective Analysis

School Attendance Registers for the Syndromic Surveillance of Infectious Intestinal Disease in UK Children: Protocol for a Retrospective Analysis

Routine health surveillance data from primary care, laboratories, and the NHS 111 telehealth service will be used to model spatial and temporal variations in the incidence of IID and to apportion likely cause to changes in school absenteeism trends. This will allow an assessment to be made of the potential value and lead time of school absenteeism data in the surveillance of IID and the overall burden of IID on illness absenteeism.

A Digital Coaching Intervention for Cancer Survivors With Job Loss: Retrospective Study

A Digital Coaching Intervention for Cancer Survivors With Job Loss: Retrospective Study

Specifically, cancer survivors are at higher risk of unemployment [4,6,7], reduced hours, prolonged absenteeism [8,9], and impaired presenteeism [9] compared with individuals without a history of cancer. Returning to work is important for cancer survivors themselves, their employers, and the society at large [4,8,9]. For cancer survivors, returning to work can improve their sense of “normality,” their self-respect [10], and their quality of life [11,12].

Effectiveness of a Web-Based Intervention in Reducing Depression and Sickness Absence: Randomized Controlled Trial

Effectiveness of a Web-Based Intervention in Reducing Depression and Sickness Absence: Randomized Controlled Trial

To date, few studies employ independent outcomes and such attempts are limited to observer ratings of symptoms and do not extend to objective behavioral measurement of work absenteeism [30-32]. The lack of objective sickness absence measurements in research on Web-based interventions is surprising because sickness absence is frequently used as an integrated measure of health in other fields [33].

WittyFit—Live Your Work Differently: Study Protocol for a Workplace-Delivered Health Promotion

Along with reduced workplace absenteeism [29,30], a strong negative association can exist between physical activity and mood states [31]. Working conditions are a strong determinant of morbidity [1,18,19,21,22,32-41]. For example, limited social support at work has been linked with cardiovascular events [42] and depression [43]. Deleterious, contagious effects of poor psychological working conditions are known to be associated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization [44].
