As an important index reflecting residential quality, the lighting environment level of residential buildings exerts tremendous influence on both physical and psychological health of residents. Taking a typical rural house in Weihe Plain as example, with indoor lighting environment test, lighting habits of the resident and Ecotect software, the paper studies indoor lighting environment quality of rural residential buildings in Weihe Plain and analyzes the influence of residential buildings' design on lighting environment. The result shows that rural residents in Weihe Plain usually don’t attach due importance to the lighting environment quality of living space, and the design of indoor space goes against effective utilization of natural light. Thus, the paper eventually brings forward a method to consummate the lighting environment of rural residential buildings and explores the buildings’ potential of saving energy by making use of natural light.

Workaholism has been a growing issue among the labour force worldwide. However, there is no consensus between scholars about its definition yet. It might be described as “being overly concerned about work, driven by a strong and uncontrollable desire to work, and spending so much energy and effort on work that it impairs private relationships, personal hobbies/activities, and/or health”. Generally, people with specific personality traits may have an increased chance of developing workaholism. In addition, there are other factors, such as sociocultural characteristics, relationships with colleagues and significant others, and organizational culture might also play an important influence on developing workaholism. It causes many physical and psychological health problems, such as high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, and family and lifestyle dissatisfaction, and a reduction in job satisfaction, presenteeism, and motivation. Putting all of this together, it is clear that workaholism has a negative influence on employees’ quality of life and overall well-being. Therefore, this study aimed at examining a variety of approaches to define “workaholism” in related literature, defining its etiology, related factors, outcomes, prevention, and treatment. The PubMed/Medline database was also used for related studies that were published in English. “Workaholism”, “obsessive–compulsive behavior”, and “quality of health” were used as keywords. It is crucial to take action to prevent people from becoming workaholics. Early diagnoses of workaholism, using predictive factors by occupational healthcare professionals in the workplace, would help decrease its impact on workers’ health, and an effective treatment of workaholism should be applied.

One of the main problems of contemporary pedagogy is the necessity to consider pedagogical compatibility from an ideological point of view. It dictates to study the problem of interaction between the teacher and the learner, affect one another's physical and psychological health, and maintaining one another's health in the pedagogical process. The article is based on the results of our questionnaire surveys, conversations among teachers, students, and their parents. The surveys revealed that in some schools still persists the teacher’s authoritarianism and intolerance towards pupils. While organizing the pedagogical process, only a small part of teachers emphasized the health requirements of the lesson, most of them did not pay attention to the problem of pedagogical compatibility, in particular, the process of interaction between the student and teacher was not considered from the point of view of the health of both. However, the majority of teachers realize that the quality of their pupils' education, the effectiveness of their work, the motivation of children towards education, ensuring their creativity and safety at school largely depend on it.   Thus, the question was raised that in the processes of professional education and advanced training of teachers to seriously discuss this problem and provide relevant pieces of knowledge and competencies to the beneficiaries. All of this has prompted the need to enrich the theory of the term “Pedagogical compatibility” and develop a methodological system for its practical implementation. The article defines the essence of the new term “Pedagogical compatibility for health protection”. The principles, methods, the pedagogical conditions necessary for its implementation, the model of competencies the teacher needs in this field are presented.

The work presented aims to analyze the similarities and differences in health and quality of life of family caregivers and professionals serving seniors in a position of dependency. Specifically, the results presented were obtained from the evaluation of 600 caregivers, of which 33.83% are family and 66.17% are professionals, to determine their burden or stress experienced, as well as their physical and psychological health and their overall, work, family and social quality of life. The results indicate that there are differences between the two groups of caregivers. The family caregivers have higher levels of overload and have poorer physical and psychological health as a result of their tasks. Professional caregivers experience greater satisfaction with life in general and in other factors such as work, family and social relationships. Finally, this justifies the need to implement interventions to improve the health of caregivers.
