Article Abstract
Background And Objectives: The study reported here investigated the causal relationships in the health impairment process of employee well-being, and the mediating role of burnout in the relationship between work overload and psychological ill-health symptoms, over time. The research is deemed important due to the need for longitudinal evidence of the health impairment process of employee well-being over three waves of data.
Design: A quantitative survey design was followed. Participants constituted a longitudinal sample of 370 participants, at three time points, after attrition.
Methods: Descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling methods were implemented.
Results: Work overload at time one predicted burnout at time two, and burnout at time two predicted psychological ill-health symptoms at time three. Indirect effects were found between work overload time one and psychological ill-health symptoms time three via burnout time two, and also between burnout time one and psychological ill-health symptoms time three, via burnout time two.
Conclusions: The results provided supportive evidence for an "indirect-only" mediation effect, for burnout's causal mediation mechanism in the health impairment process between work overload and psychological ill-health symptoms.

Refugees who have experienced war and persecution often suffer from psychological disorders resulting from adverse events and living conditions. Current theories of traumatic stress focus on processes resulting from threats to physical integrity, with little consideration of social stressors. In this study, we proposed that perceptions of social devaluation, which include specific emotions, appraisals, physiological responses, and behavioural impulses associated with devaluation, partially mediate the relationship between stress and psychological symptoms in refugees.

Background: Informal carers often experience compromised mental and physical wellbeing due to their caring responsibilities.

Background: The key role of medical workforce well-being in the delivery of excellent and equitable care is recognised internationally. However, doctors are known to experience significant mental ill health and erosion of their well-being due to challenging demands and pressurised work environments.

Mental ill-health is a leading contributor to adolescent disease burden, with females and socioeconomically disadvantaged youth facing higher rates of mental disorders. Adolescence is a key period for the development of lifestyle risk factors for mental disorder, which are increasingly being recognized as important and novel population-level preventive intervention targets. We used decision trees to examine combinations of sociodemographic factors and the "big six" lifestyle behaviours (poor sleep, physical inactivity, sedentary screen time, poor diet, alcohol use and smoking) prospectively associated with worse anxiety, depression and psychological distress scores.
