This book integrates the growing clinical research evidence related
to the emerging transdisciplinary field of occupational health and
wellness. It includes a wide range of important topics, ranging
from current conceptual approaches to health and wellness in the
workplace, to common problems in the workplace such as
presenteeism/abstenteeism, common illnesses, job-related burnout,
to prevention and intervention methods. It consists of five major
parts. Part I, "Introduction and Overviews," provides an overview
and critical evaluation of the emerging conceptual models that are
currently driving the clinical research and practices in the field.
This serves as the initial platform to help better understand the
subsequent topics to be discussed. Part II, "Major Occupational
Symptoms and Disorders," exposes the reader to the types of
critical occupational health risks that have been well documented,
as well as the financial and productivity losses associated with
them. In Part III, "Evaluation of Occupational Causes and Risks to
Workers' Health," a comprehensive evaluation of these risks and
causes of such occupational health threats is provided. This leads
to Part IV, "Prevention and Intervention Methods," which delineates
methods to prevent or intervene with these potential occupational
health issues. Part V, "Research, Evaluation, Diversity and
Practice," concludes the book with the review of epidemiological,
measurement, diversity, policy, and practice issues-with guidelines
on changes that are needed to decrease the economic and health care
impact of illnesses in the workplace, and recommendations for
future. All chapters provide a balance among theoretical models,
current best-practice guidelines, and evidence-based documentation
of such models and guidelines. The contributors were carefully
selected for their unique knowledge, as well as their ability to
meaningfully present this information in a comprehensive manner. As
such, this Handbook is of great interest and use to health care and
rehabilitation professionals, management and human resource
personnel, researchers and academicians alike.
