Abstract
In this special issue, Biomed Research International, section Public Health, decided to investigate the link between workers’ health and work-related stress, and occupational disease management to enhance well-being.The literature indicates that mental health and work-related stress are an increasing concern and that the management and mitigation of psychosocial risk require an interdisciplinary approach [1, 2]. In the recent international literature, mental health problems are associated with new and broader sources of work-related stress which can increase an individual’s vulnerability to more serious mental health issues as well as physical and psychosomatic complaints. In addition, there is evidence of the detrimental impact of work-related stress and mental health issues on workers’ health and safety, particularly with regard to cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disorders, and employee well-being [3, 4].
