Cadre de la recherche : En Norvège, vivre avec un enfant ayant des problèmes de santé est une réalité pour de nombreux parents et demande une adaptation de toute la famille ; cela peut être d’autant plus problématique pour des parents issus de l’immigration. Objectifs : Le présent article vise à comprendre comment les familles issues de différents types d’immigration gèrent le suivi de l’enfant ayant des besoins spécifiques. Méthodologie : Les données sont issues d’une recherche qualitative basée sur vingt-sept entretiens individuels semi-directifs et trois entretiens de groupe avec des parents immigrés ou issus de l’immigration. L’analyse inductive se fonde sur l’analyse de contenu des entretiens. Résultats : Vivre avec un enfant ayant des besoins spécifiques exige une redéfinition de l’investissement et des rôles de chacun des parents. On note, en effet, des stratégies conjugales et parentales qui prennent forme dans un rapport de genre marqué à la fois par des pratiques de changement et de reproduction. Pour les familles immigrées ayant un enfant aux besoins spécifiques, la question du travail aussi bien pour les hommes que pour les femmes est centrale tant elle montre la nécessité des bricolages, à la fois pour l’adaptation au mode de vie du pays d’accueil et pour sortir de « la famille soignante », où l’enfant est au centre des préoccupations. Conclusion : Les relations sociales (notamment par le travail ou par le maintien d’un réseau d’amis ou de la famille élargie) ainsi que le soutien apporté par les services médicosociaux restent des ressources précieuses pour faire face aux défis qu’entraînent le handicap ou la maladie chronique de l’enfant. Contributions: L’étude, réalisée en collaboration avec Lisbeth Gravdal Kvarme, est financée par The Research Council of Norway, dans le cadre du projet « Ethnic differences in labour market participation, health and sickness absence among parents caring for disabled or chronically ill children » ( n o 227022/H20).

Aims: The aim was to examine whether the contribution of physical work exposures to the risk of sickness absence (SA) is different between those with and without common mental disorders (CMD). Methods: We used questionnaire data on four work exposures and CMD from 6159 participants of the Helsinki Health Study cohort with 12,458 observations from three surveys (2000–2002, 2007 and 2012). We formed combination exposures for the work exposures (hazardous exposures, physical workload, computer and shift work) with CMD. Associations with SA of different length were examined with negative binomial regression models. Results: We observed stronger associations for CMD with SA than for the individual work exposures. The strength of the associations for hazardous exposures and physical workload increased with length of SA, especially when the participant also had CMD. The strongest associations for the combined exposures were observed for SA ⩾15 days, the rate ratios being 2.63 (95% CI 2.27–3.05) among those with hazardous exposure and CMD, and 3.37 (95% CI 2.93−3.88) among those with heavy physical workload and CMD. Conclusions: Employees with hazardous exposures or physical workload combined with CMD were at the highest risk of SA compared with those without these exposures or with only one exposure.

Meta Analyses

Abstract Background Nursing is a stressful occupation with high rates of sickness absence. To date, there are no meta-analyses that statistically determined the correlates of sickness absence in this population. Aims This meta-analysis examined organizational and psychosocial predictors of sickness absence among nursing staff. Methods As a registered systematic review (PROSPERO: CRD42017071040), which followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, five databases (CINAHL, PROQuest Allied, PROQuest database theses, PsycINFO, PubMed) were reviewed to examine predictors of sickness absence in nurses and nursing assistants between 1990 and 2019. The Population/Intervention/Comparison/Outcome tool was used to support our searches. Effect sizes were analysed using random-effects model. Results Following critical appraisals using (i) National Institutes of Health’s Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies and (ii) Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology, 21 studies were included. Nursing assistants had greater odds of sickness absence than nurses. Working night shifts, in paediatrics or psychiatric units, experiencing poor mental health, and fatigue, also increased the odds of sickness absence. There was no evidence that job satisfaction or job strain influenced sickness absence; however, job demand increased the likelihood. Finally, work support reduced the odds of lost-time. Conclusions We synthesized three decades of research where several factors influenced sickness absence. Due to limited recent research, the results should be interpreted with caution as some practices may have changed overtime or between countries. Nevertheless, these findings could help in applying preventative strategies to mitigate lost-time in a vulnerable working population.
