Aim: Burnout is a pervasive mental health problem in the workforce, with mounting evidence suggesting ties with occupational and safety outcomes such as work injuries, critical events and musculoskeletal disorders. While environmental [work and non-work, work-to-family conflict (WFC)] and individual (personality) pathways to burnout are well docum...

Abstact This paper revisited the vulnerability hypothesis to explain the greater level of psychological distress among working women compared to working men. A comprehensive vulnerability model was tested in which work and family stressors and psychosocial resources are directly related to psychological distress and indirectly through work‐to‐famil...

This study examines an exposure model in which the work and family stressors and the access to resources are gendered and contribute to explaining the psychological distress inequality between sex categories, both directly and indirectly through work-family conflict. A multilevel path analysis conducted on a random cross-sectional sample of 2026 Ca...

The increasing mental health inequalities between women and men following the COVID-19 crisis represent a major public health concern. Public health measures to mitigate the pandemic could severely impact populations with high prevalence of mental health problems such as graduate students. We aimed to document the gendered experience of the lockdow...

The COVID-19 pandemic and the public health measures adopted to contain it have highlighted the centrality of the work-family interface in the etiology of mental health among the employed population. However, while the impact on the mental health of workers has been well documented, the relationship with the mental health of children of those worke...

In recent years, Quebec’s immigrant population has grown substantially. The proportion of immigrants in the employed population increased by 8.3 percentage points between 2006 and 2021, rising from 10.9% to 19.2%. This increase in immigrant representation in the labour market raises various challenges in relation to their integration and their occu...

Inequalities in mental health between women and men remain a major public health issue. Women's greater exposure to stressors has been identified as a primary mechanism explaining their higher incidence of common mental health problems compared to men. However, studies testing the exposure hypothesis among the working population rarely take into ac...

L’objectif de cet article consiste à (1) comparer le risque, pour l’ensemble des accidents du travail acceptés et les accidents graves acceptés, entre la population immigrante et non immigrante au Québec et (2...

Background Work-related stressors and work-family conflict are important social determinants of mental health. While the impact of these stressors on parents’ mental health is well documented, we know comparatively less about their impact on children’s mental health. Furthermore, though the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly altered these stressor...

Ces deux hypothèses sont contrastées en intégrant les stresseurs du travail, de la famille, le conflit travail-famille et les ressources psychosociales...

Objectives The opioid crisis has risen dramatically in North America in the new millennium, due to both illegal and prescription opioid use. While emergency departments (EDs) represent a potentially strategic setting for interventions to reduce harm from opioid use disorder (OUD), the absence of a recent synthesis of literature limits implementatio...

This study tested a differential exposure explanation of the association between sex categories and work–family conflict. It addresses the question of why men and women may experience similar or dissimilar levels of work–family conflict and tests whether differences are due to their different gendered demands and resources. Drawing from a sample of...

This doctoral thesis aims to explain the psychological distress gap between working men and women. Drawing on Pearlin’s “Stress Process” theory, Karasek’s demands-control-support model, Siegrist’s effort-reward model, Marchand’s theory on the multilevel determinants of workers’ mental health, and the gender-relational approach, the thesis verifies...
