TL;DR: Investigating predictors for one particular direction of Work-Family Conflict – namely work interfering with family conflict (WIF) – which are located within the psychosocial work environment or work organisation of hospital physicians finds high values of WIF were significantly correlated to higher rates of personal burnout, behavioural and cognitive stress symptoms, and the intention to leave the job.

TL;DR: Most international middle dimensions of the COPSOQ III offers reliable and distinct measures of a wide range of psychosocial dimensions of modern working life in different countries; although a few measures could be improved.

TL;DR: A dose-response relationship between kneeling/squatting and symptomatic knee OA in men and, for the first time, in women is supported.
