How do you assess the mental wellness of your work-from-home employees? This case study reports on how an occupational health nurse used work-from-home employee’s own phone and Fitbit™ smartwatch to obtain heart rate data to screen for high periods of stress. Telemedicine and telemetry allowed the occupational health nurses to screen an employee when the nurse could not assess the employee face-to-face. When the occupational health nurses identified an at-risk employee, the occupational health nurses referred the employee to the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for counseling. Leveraging heart rate data on a smartwatch is a free intervention that is scalable and has a demonstrated outcome measure with a positive return on investment.

SAŽETAK: Prezentizam i apsentizam dio su kulture na radnom mjestu. Kulturu čine naša stajališta, mišljenja i sustavi vrijednosti, pa se može reći da je duboko usađena i u pojedincima i u radnoj organizaciji (npr. odjelu). To je «onako kako se to radi kod nas». Iako predstavljaju dvije krajnosti u ponašanju djelatnika, prezentizam i apsentizam imaju slične uzroke i posljedice. Apsentizam može prijeći u prezentizam i obrnuto. U radu se opisuju moguće mjere prevencije koje podupiru Nacionalni program zaštite zdravlja i sigurnosti na radu osoba zaposlenih u djelatnosti zdravstvene zaštite za razdoblje 2015.-2020. Moguće mjere su sljedeći programi: promocija zdravih radnih mjesta, Occupational Health Management i Employee Assistance Program, Health and productivity management programe, medicinske sestre s posebnom edukacijom iz područja medicine rada, fit-note, omogućiti adekvatno plaćeno bolovanje, skrining za zarazne bolesti za vrijeme epidemije, adekvatna popunjenost osobljem, supervizija i Balint grupe.

This report describes patterns of cigarette smoking and interest in smoking cessation programs among employees in a public worksite (n = 6,000) and a private worksite (n = 14,000). Of the 622 employees who attended an employee assistance program (EAP) orientation, 110 (18%) were current smokers. A significantly greater proportion of public employees smoked cigarettes, smoked more heavily, and evaluated their health more poorly compared to private employees. Smokers in both sites were over-represented in unskilled positions. Regardless of worksite, respondents who smoked had similar desires to quit or cut down and were annoyed by the comments of others, felt guilty about smoking, awakened with a desire to smoke, and felt they had a smoking problem. Overall, more than one third of individuals were interested in joining a smoking cessation program. Occupational health nurses may use these findings to design and implement smoking cessation interventions in their workplaces.

Variety of methods of nonlinear dynamics have been used for possibility of an analysis of time series in experimental physiology. Dynamical nature of experimental data was checked using specific methods. Statistical properties of the heart rate have been investigated. Correlation between of cardiovascular function and statistical properties of both, heart rate and stroke volume, have been analyzed. Possibility to use a data from correlations in heart rate for monitoring of cardiovascular function was discussed.
