Occupational Medicine and Prevention of Chronic and Infectious Diseases

Occupational medicine is a clinical discipline that draws attention to the health of workers and their ability to work. [...]it concentrates on the physical, biological, chemical, and social context of the workplace. According to the study, older age predicted bigger fear of infection, and neuroticism and fearful attachment were independent predictors of fear of infection. Furthermore, work engagement was found to be positively correlated with work performance, serving as a mediator between EI and job performance. [...]these findings suggest that HCWs with higher levels of EI tend to have superior work performance due to their enhanced work engagement as embracing emotional intelligence allows them to maintain focus and dedication amid uncertainty, positively impacting the quality of patient care. According to the study results, by promoting healthier lifestyles and diets, a weight reduction and improvement in their lipid profile, blood pressure, work performance, and self-image perception are possible.
