[Professional vision of flying personnel in the context of occupational health].

A conceptual strategy of increasing tolerance to the unfavorable factors of flyer's profession is specifically aimed at keeping-up professional vision. The reason for this strategy is associated with the need to develop an integrated system of expert-prognostic, ophthalmoergonomic, psychophysiologic, functional and rehabilitative measures with the goal to enhance the visual performance and to prolong the professional longevity of flyers. The paper offers deliberations on the concept of "professional vision of a pilot".

[Professional status and development of morbidity of health insurance patients in the period 1990 to 2003. A longitudinal Analysis of Routine Data from the Gmünder Ersatzkasse].

In Germany there are only insufficient data both with regard to general morbidity events as well as with regard to the effects of specific professions on the morbidity process. For this reason the data of the Gmuender Ersatzkasse (GEK) have been analysed with a longitudinal design for the period 1990 to 2003. Our sample includes all employed members of the GEK who had been insured as of January 1, 1990 and were between 30 and 59 years old at this baseline. The total sample comprises 129,173 men and 13,567 women. The statistical analysis was performed with the statistical package "Transitional Data Analysis" (TDA) which was developed especially for longitudinal data. The analysis includes both cumulated morbidity rates as well as transition rates (Cox regression). The analysis shows that the cumulated morbidity rates of the seven diseases are higher for women than for men in the age category 30-39 years. In the age categories 40-49 and 50-59 years the cumulated morbidity rates are higher for men than for women. With regard to the occupations, the highest morbidity rates are found for manual occupations and services without special skills. The lowest rates are found for professions with high skills, engineers and managers. The results of the longitudinal analysis show distinctive social gradients. For occupations with lower skills the morbidity rates are about 100 percent higher than those of occupations with higher skills. Longitudinal analyses on the basis of health insurance fund data can make an important contribution to the monitoring of health and morbidity and should therefore be conducted also by other health insurance funds.

Occupational stress and dentistry: theory and practice. Part II. Assessment and control.

Since dentistry has been identified as being a stressful profession, dentists, with the help of the members of the dental team, must attempt to achieve a relatively stress-free working environment. In addition to recognising potential occupational stressors it is important for dentists to be able to assess their emotional responses to the practice of dentistry and to arrange their daily working lives in such a way as to reduce occupational stress. This paper examines the means by which dentists may assess occupational stress as well as person-centred and/or situation-centred strategies of coping with and controlling occupational stress in general dental practice.
