Família e trabalho: conciliação percecionada por trabalhadores em idade avançada / Family and work: percepted conciliation for advanced age workers

Family and Work are mesosystems of human ecological development whose imba-lance exposes individuals to a particular adaptive difficulty. To understand the meaning that older workers attach to this dyad may contribute to improve their ability to work and family health. This was a descriptive, qualitative study that used Bardin's content analysis as a methodology. It was conducted in a non-probabilistic sample (n = 62), selected from a population of over 55-year-old health workers, who agreed to participate. The information was obtained by semi-structured interview and analyzed by the WebQda program. Participants perceived the Family as a "safe haven", as it was a source of support and personal fulfillment. The same attribution was not performed by participants who, due to the lack of return and / or isolation / abandonment expressed, pointed out that the family was "absent" in their lives. With respect to work, the gender difference was manifested by the overload perceived by the female gender. When asked about the Family / Work conciliation, the speeches mirrored the way the present time sustains itself in constructions that are lasting from the past. It was concluded that the Family / Work conciliation can adopt different scenarios depending on the meaning that individuals give to both throughout their life experiences and that, particularly in older workers, the intervention of occupational nurses can make the difference, when we want to promote active aging in the workplace

Disconnecting to detach: the role of impaired recovery in negative consequences of workplace telepressure / Desconectar para desvincularse: el papel de la mala recuperación en las consecuencias negativas de la telepresión en el trabajo

Information and communication technologies (ICT) afford benefits in staying connected and increasing work flexibility for employees; however, they also bring us negative behavioral and psychological outcomes. This research examines the potential consequences of workplace telepressure, referring to the preoccupation with and urge to respond quickly to work-related ICT messages, on employee physical and psychological outcomes and the intervening roles of psychological detachment and boundary-crossing behaviors. A sample of 233 full-time workers from an online survey panel completed an online questionnaire. We observed bivariate relationships between workplace telepressure and health outcomes (i.e., employee burnout, poor sleep quality), psychological detachment, and boundary crossing. Bootstrapped indirect effects analyses showed that only boundary crossing provided a viable pathway by which workplace telepressure was associated with physical fatigue, poor sleep quality, and low sleep quantity. Implications of the intervening role of boundary crossing and the relationships between workplace telepressure and negative health outcomes are discussed

Las tecnologías de información y comunicación (TIC) ofrecen las ventajas de estar conectados y aumentar la flexibilidad laboral de los empleados, aunque tienen consecuencias conductuales y psicológicas negativas. Esta investigación analiza las consecuencias que tiene la telepresión, referida a la preocupación y urgencia en responder rápidamente a mensajes relativos al trabajo (utilizando las TIC), sobre el desempeño físico y psicológico de los trabajadores y sobre el papel intermediario que juegan la desvinculación psicológica y el cruzar los límites del trabajo. Se pasó un cuestionario en línea a 233 trabajadores a tiempo completo. Observamos las relaciones bivariadas de la telepresión y sus consecuencias en la salud (por ejemplo, agotamiento emocional o mala calidad del sueño), el desapego psicológico y el franqueo de los límites del trabajo. Los análisis de bootstrap de los efectos indirectos mostraron que solo el franqueo de estos límites constituye un camino válido para asociar la telepresión con la fatiga física, la mala calidad de sueño y dormir poco. Se discuten las implicaciones del papel interventor que tiene el cruzar los límites del trabajo y sus relaciones entre la telepresión y las consecuencias negativas para la salud
