Psicosociología

This lecture will describe the results of a randomized field study designed to improve safety climate and resultant safety performance by modifying daily messages in supervisory-worker communications. Supervisors in the experimental group received two individualized feedback sessions regarding the extent to which they integrated safety and productivity-related issues in daily verbal exchanges with their workers while those in the control group received no feedback.

Violence at work has been identified as a difficult problem in many countries. In Finland, the problem seems to be on the increase e.g. among health care workers. Hence there is an urgent need for preventive actions. The main objective of the present study was to improve violence prevention in health care, especially hospitals. The development process of a model integrating violence prevention in health and safety management was carried out in close collaboration with health care organizations, authorities and other partners.
