  • Workplace Interventions in Response to COVID-19: an Occupational Health Psychology Perspective
    Occupational Health Science, 2021
    Co-Authors: Chu-hsiang Chang, Mo Wang, Ruodan Shao, Nathan M. Baker
    Abstract:

    The outbreak of COVID-19 has imposed significant threats to individuals’ physical Health and has substantially changed the socioeconomic order and the nature of our work and life all over the world. To guide organizations to design effective workplace interventions to mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19, we take the occupational Health Psychology (OHP) perspective to propose a framework that highlights important areas for organizations to intervene in order to better protect workers’ physical Health and safety and to promote workers’ psychological well-being. Specifically, we integrate the prevention-based public Health model with the Total Worker Health (TWH) and OHP-based approaches to propose a comprehensive set of primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions that target different groups of employees with varied exposure risks to the new coronavirus. We believe these proposed interventions can contribute positively to the development of Healthy and safe work. Implications of these proposed interventions for workers, organizations, and policy makers are also discussed.

  • longitudinal analysis in occupational Health Psychology a review and tutorial of three longitudinal modeling techniques
    Applied Psychology, 2016
    Co-Authors: Yihao Liu, Yifan Song, Mo Wang
    Abstract:

    There is an increasing call for the collection of longitudinal data and the use of longitudinal analysis in occupational Health Psychology research. Some useful and popular longitudinal analysis techniques include the cross-lagged model, the latent growth model, and the latent change score model. However, previous reviews and discussions on these modeling techniques are quite generic and often overlook the connections among these techniques. Therefore, in the current article, we first reviewed the three modeling techniques as well as their existing applications in occupational Health Psychology research. We then present a detailed tutorial regarding how to utilise these techniques to analyze a simulated dataset. Finally, we compare the three techniques and discuss their utility for addressing different research questions in occupational Health Psychology.

  • Start making sense: Art informing Health Psychology
    SAGE Publishing, 2018
    Co-Authors: Ad A Kaptein, Michael Murray, Brian M Hughes, Joshua M Smyth
    Abstract:

    Growing evidence suggests that the arts may be useful in Health care and in the training of Health care professionals. Four art genres – novels, films, paintings and music – are examined for their potential contribution to enhancing patient Health and/or making better Health care providers. Based on a narrative literature review, we examine the effects of passive (e.g. reading, watching, viewing and listening) and active (e.g. writing, producing, painting and performing) exposure to the four art genres, by both patients and Health care providers. Overall, an emerging body of empirical evidence indicates positive effects on psychological and physiological outcome measures in patients and some benefits to medical training. Expressive writing/emotional disclosure, psychoneuroimmunology, Theory of Mind and the Common Sense Model of Self-Regulation are considered as possible theoretical frameworks to help incorporate art genres as sources of inspiration for the further development of Health Psychology research and clinical applications

  • critical Health Psychology
    2004
    Co-Authors: Michael Murray
    Abstract:

    Health Psychology is concerned with applying psychological knowledge to all aspects of physical Health and illness. Traditionally dominated by positivist approaches, in recent years critical perspectives have been increasingly employed. These focus on understandings of Health and illness as socially, culturally, politically and historically situated and contributing to enhanced Health and well-being. Critical Health Psychology approaches are sensitive to issues of power and benefit from theoretical and methodological pluralism. Key areas in critical Health Psychology include exploring people’s experiences of Health and illness; working with people in marginalised or vulnerable groups to provide insights; achieving change and social justice in communities through interventions and activism; engaging with arts-based approaches to researching Health and illness; examining how Health is understood in everyday life; and highlighting how the physical, psychosocial and economic environments in which we live dramatically influence our Health.

  • community Health Psychology promoting analysis and action for social change
    Journal of Health Psychology, 2004
    Co-Authors: Catherine Campbell, Michael Murray
    Abstract:

    Community Health Psychology is concerned with the theory and method of working with communities to combat disease and to promote Health. This introductory article outlines key assumptions and debates underlying this area of research and practice-in the interests of framing the papers in this special edition of the Journal of Health Psychology. Attention is given to the value of emphasizing the community level of analysis and action; the role of collective action in improving Health; psycho-social mediatiors between community participation and Health; and the potential role of partnerships in creating 'Healthy communities'. A distinction is made between 'accommodationist' and 'critical' perspectives, and the authors consider whether or not significant social change can come from community-level action.

  • standards for economic analyses of interventions for the field of Health Psychology and behavioral medicine
    Health Psychology, 2019
    Co-Authors: Dawn K Wilson, Alan J Christensen, Paul B Jacobsen, Robert M Kaplan
    Abstract:

    Behavioral interventions can be offered within a wide range of contexts, including public Health, medicine, surgery, physical rehabilitation, nutrition, and other Health services. These differing services compete for the same resources and it is difficult to compare their value. Systematic standardized methodologies for valuing outcomes are available and are being applied by economists and Health services researchers, but are not widely used in our field. With support from the Society for Health Psychology, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and the Office for Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) at the National Institutes of Health, two working group meetings were held to consider the use of well-established cost-effectiveness methodologies for the evaluation of behavioral and public Health interventions. In this special section, we acknowledge a wide range of variability in terms of behavioral interventions typically delivered in nonclinical versus more traditional clinical settings. Three articles address (1) standardizing methods for conducting cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analyses, (2) providing examples to illustrate progress in applying these methods to evaluate interventions delivered in whole or in part in clinical settings, and (3) providing nonclinical intervention examples selected to highlight the challenges and opportunities for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of interventions in more diverse settings. The ability of our field to communicate cost-effectiveness data to policy makers, employers, and insurers that incorporates implementation costs is central to the likelihood of our interventions being adopted by practitioners and reimbursed by payers.

  • behavioral medicine and clinical Health Psychology introduction to the special issue
    Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Alan J Christensen, Arthur M Nezu
    Abstract:

    This issue represents the 4th Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology special issue on behavioral medicine and clinical Health Psychology over the past 4 decades. Recent developments in Health care policy, as well as in the maturation of the science, make a special issue in this area particularly timely. This collection includes state of the clinical science reviews, reports of clinical trials, and articles addressing theory and methods in behavioral medicine and clinical Health Psychology. A multilevel, ecological perspective that considers multiple levels of influences (e.g., cultural influences on behavior-Health linkages, individual differences) is salient throughout many of the articles. Our hope is that this sampling of this broad field, and coverage of some key issues and areas, will play a role in stimulating the next 10 years of research, practice, and policy implementation in behavioral medicine and clinical Health Psychology.

  • the definition of curriculum areas in occupational Health Psychology
    2008
    Co-Authors: Jonathan Houdmont, Stavroula Leka, Carrie A Bulger
    Abstract:

    Across the international educational landscape, numerous higher education institutions (HEIs) offer postgraduate programmes in occupational Health Psychology (OHP). These seek to empower the next generation of OHP practitioners with the knowledge and skills necessary to advance the understanding and prevention of workplace illness and injury, improve working life and promote Healthy work through the application of psychological principles and practices. Among the OHP curricula operated within these programmes there exists considerable variability in the topics addressed. This is due, inter alia, to the youthfulness of the discipline and the fact that the development of educational provision has been managed at the level of the HEI where it has remained undirected by external forces such as the discipline’s representative bodies. Such variability makes it difficult to discern the key characteristics of a curriculum which is important for programme accreditation purposes, the professional development and regulation of practitioners and, ultimately, the long-term sustainability of the discipline. This chapter has as its focus the imperative for and development of consensus surrounding OHP curriculum areas. It begins by examining the factors that are currently driving curriculum developments and explores some of the barriers to such. It then reviews the limited body of previous research that has attempted to discern key OHP curriculum areas. This provides a foundation upon which to describe a study conducted by the current authors that involved the elicitation of subject matter expert opinion from an international sample of academics involved in OHP-related teaching and research on the question of which topic areas might be considered important for inclusion within an OHP curriculum. The chapter closes by drawing conclusions on steps that could be taken by the discipline’s representative bodies towards the consolidation and accreditation of a core curriculum.

  • rail safety in britain an occupational Health Psychology perspective
    Work & Stress, 2003
    Co-Authors: Tom Cox, Amanda Griffiths, Jonathan Houdmont
    Abstract:

    As occupational Health Psychology matures, it will become involved in a more detailed way in areas ofspecific concern, and it will outgrow its recent over-dependence on a small number of very generalconcerns such as work stress and burnout. One example of all area of potential interest andopportunity is that afforded by rail safety. This paper discusses the position in Britain. It outlines thehistory and nature of safety management in the rail industry following privatisation in the 1990s. Itthen describes recent changes in safety thinking that could represent a mini-paradign shift and thatopen the door to the more active involvement of occupational Health psychologists.
