 Mamom, J., Daovisan, H., Winaiprasert, P., & Yolpant, W., "The “Silent Assassin” in Your Job? Occupational Stress on Female Casual Workers with Mental Illness: A Sequential Mixed-Method Study.", International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction, Apr 2023 Abstract Mental illness is a widespread psychiatric disorder, but few studies have explored how it manifests in occupational stress. This study aims to examine the occupational stress on female casual workers with mental illness in the informal economy of Lao PDR. We utilised a mixed-method study with a sequential exploratory design (quantitative and qualitative data). Our study drew on a sample of 1037 structured interviews and purposive sampling of 15 in-depth interviews from October 2018 to March 2020. The three-level effect model showed a positive effect (χ21χ12 = 11.57, p < 0.01; χ21χ12 = 15.50, p < 0.01; χ22χ22 = 20.02, p < 0.01), thus supporting all relevant hypotheses. The quantitative findings are consistent with the qualitative results, revealing that occupational stress may result in mental illness. The implications of these findings for practice are discussed.

 Sairag Saadprai., Bunyong Rungroungdouyboon, Supachai Vorapojpisut, Supattra Silapabanleng, Poonyanat Nualon, "Validity and Reliability of Kinetic Step Box on Vertical Ground Reaction Forces Measurement", Journal of Exercise Physiology Online, Vol. 26(2)., Apr, 2023. Abstract The Kinetic Step Box (KSB) was developed with the purpose for analyzing body movements by detecting vertical Ground Reaction Forces. The purpose of this study was to test the validity and reliability of the vertical Ground Reaction Forces measurement from the KSB compared with the Standard Force Plate (SFP). Thirteen females and seven males performed sitting to standing posture on the KSB and the SFP for 3 sets of 5 times (each set was measured by each rater). All the data were collected on the frequency at 100 Hz/ sec for 2 seconds. The validity of mean vertical Ground Reaction Forces between the SFP and KSB was tested by Pearson’ s Correlation Coefficient. Intra- rater reliability of the SFP and the KSB were calculated by using intraclass correlation coefficient (3,1) and for inter-rater reliability using intraclass correlation coefficient (3,3). The SFP and the KSB had the validity of mean vertical Ground Reaction Forces at the very high level with r at 0. 996. The intra- rater reliability of the SFP and the KSB were at the very high level with r at 1.000 and 1.000. The inter-rater reliability of the SFP and the KSB were at the very high level with r at 1. 000 and 1. 000. The KSB has vertical Ground Reaction Forces measuring capacity like the SFP. The KSB can be used an alternative of the SFP for simple motion measurement. The KSB is low cost, real-time display, and portable.    |
