In our complex, fast changing society, health is strongly influenced by the continuously changing interactions between organisations and their employees. Three major fields contribute to health-oriented improvements of these interactions: occupational health, organizational health and public health. As currently only partial links exist amongst these fields, the book aims to explore potential synergies more systematically. Considering the high mental and social demands in a service and knowledge sector economy, the first part of the book focuses on work-related psychosocial factors. As a large proportion of inequalities in health in developed countries can be explained by inequalities in wor...

Das anhaltende, subjektiv wahrgenommene Gefühl der Einsamkeit wurde in den vergangenen Jahren zu einem sozialen Problem mit weitreichenden gesundheitlichen und gesellschaftlichen Folgen: Einsamkeit scheint heute fast ein unverrückbarer Bestandteil des Menschseins zu sein. Auch wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zeigen, dass sich der Anteil an Menschen, die sich einsam fühlen, in Europa über alle Lebensalter hinweg erhöht hat. Die Gründe dafür sind komplex; es greift zu kurz, Einsamkeit nur auf die Covid-19-Pandemie zurückzuführen. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes beleuchten aus psychologischer, psychiatrischer, soziologischer, philosophischer und theologischer Perspektive individuelle Zusa...
Winner of the 2021 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award In A History of Population Health Johan P. Mackenbach offers a broad-sweeping study of the spectacular changes in people’s health in Europe since the early 18th century. Most of the 40 specific diseases covered in this book show a fascinating pattern of ‘rise-and-fall’, with large differences in timing between countries. Using a unique collection of historical data and bringing together insights from demography, economics, sociology, political science, medicine, epidemiology and general history, it shows that these changes and variations did not occur spontaneously, but were mostly man-made. Throughout European history, changes in health and longevity were therefore closely related to economic, social, and political conditions, with public health and medical care both making important contributions to population health improvement. Readers who would like to have a closer look at the quantitative data used in the trend graphs included in the book can find these it here.
