1. Workplace management of musculoskeletal and mental health risks: translating evidence into practice.
1. 肌肉骨骼和心理健康风险的工作场所管理：将证据转化为实践PMID:日期:2026-10-04There is a large body of research evidence identifying the biomechanical and psychosocial hazards that can affect work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and stress-related mental health problems (MHPs). The APHIRM Toolkit was developed to facilitate more effective translation of this evidence into workplace risk management practices. Using APHIRM survey data from three occupations in the healthcare sector, this project compared hazard 'riskiness' profiles: (a) at occupational versus local workgroup levels, and (b) using hazard constructs versus individual hazard items. It was concluded that effective risk management is likely to require: risk assessment and prioritisation of control actions separately for each local workgroup; assessment of specific hazards rather than the generic constructs used by researchers. Results highlight the value of managing MSD and MHP risks together, because both were affected by both psychosocial and biomechanical hazards in combinations that varied widely between workgroups.

2. Measuring head motion across deceleration levels in automated driving: Quantifying comfort.
2. 在自动驾驶中测量不同减速度水平下的头部运动：量化舒适性PMID:日期:2026-10-01Passenger-centred comfort measures are needed to enable adaptive driving styles in automated vehicles, particularly where comfort begins to decrease. This study examined passengers' head motion during automated braking at a crosswalk. Data from thirty-four participants were analysed, who experienced three deceleration levels (-1.5, -2.5, -3.5 m/s) and two pedestrian visibility conditions, reflecting how quickly the AV braked after the pedestrian appeared, rating comfort respectively. As expected, head pitch and translational acceleration increased with deceleration intensity, while pedestrian visibility had no effect on head motion, even though faster AV responses were previously found more comfortable, suggesting this reflects passengers' judgement of the AV's response rather than head stability. Head-motion measures did not add predictive value beyond vehicle kinematics, likely because comfort ratings were similar across conditions. In this scenario, head-motion mainly reflected physical response to braking rather than subjective evaluation. Future research should test head-motion measures in more complex driving conditions.

3. Learning aircraft procedures through an immersive virtual reality environment.
3. 通过沉浸式虚拟现实环境学习飞机程序PMID:日期:2026-09-29Pilot trainees must familiarize themselves with a cockpit and master the associated procedures, i.e. specified sequences of interaction. Usually, this self-regulated learning relies on paper-based procedures and a cockpit poster, which can be monotonous and demotivating for trainees. In this study, N=36 pilot students tested the efficiency of a new Virtual Reality (VR) training tool for learning aircraft procedures. Results were compared with previously collected data from both traditional paper-based training and desktop training software embedded on a tactile screen. Participants were more motivated using the VR tool than with the two other methods. When tested in a realistic flight simulator, training effectiveness was better for VR than the traditional method, but similar to the tactile desktop tool. Moreover, study duration has not been shorten with the VR tool. Finally, open comments by participants provided useful directions on improving user interaction with the VR environment.

4. A longitudinal study of supervisor support as a moderator in maintaining work engagement during working from home: A moderated moderated-mediation model.
4. 主管支持作为远程办公期间维持工作投入调节因素的纵向研究：一个有调节的有调节中介模型PMID:日期:2026-09-23Maintaining employee work engagement during extended periods of work from home (WFH) is essential for sustaining productivity. Although prior research highlights the detrimental effects of job stress and imbalanced work demands on burnout and engagement, few studies explore how supervisor support mitigates these effects over time. This study examines such relationships as WFH progresses. Panel data from 145 participants, collected at multiple time points over a 10-month period, reveal that as the WFH period extends, supervisor support becomes increasingly effective in alleviating the negative impact of job demands and perceived stress on burnout. This reduction in burnout subsequently contributes to the sustained work engagement of employees. These findings offer valuable insights into the role of supervisor support during extended WFH periods and provide recommendations for managing burnout and maintaining engagement in remote work environments.

5. Firefighter turnout gear limits the ability to reach down for an object without flexing the spine.
PMID:日期:2026-09-22The restrictive nature of firefighter turnout gear may influence firefighter's ability to lift low-lying objects using strategies aimed at mitigating low back disorder risk. This study examined the influence of each component of firefighter turnout gear on how far they could reach down for an object with their spine physically restricted from forward flexion. Wearing any component of fire gear restricted reach depth (p < 0.001). The greatest amount of restriction, compared to wearing station fatigues, occurred when firefighters wore full gear with boots (12 cm, 95% confidence interval = [10, 14]). There was no statistical difference in restriction when firefighters wore only fire pants versus wearing only fire jacket and oxygen tank. Wearing boots only had a significant impact when firefighters wore full gear (average difference = 2 cm, 95% confidence interval = [1, 3], p < 0.001). Firefighter turnout gear limits the ability to lift low-lying objects without flexing the lumbar spine.

6. Measurement properties of an adapted stadiometric protocol to assess spinal shrinkage: On the use of an optical approach to measure lumbar specific measures.
6. 适应性身高测量方案评估脊柱缩短的测量特性：关于使用光学方法测量腰椎特异性指标的研究PMID:日期:2026-09-22The cumulative effects of spinal loading can be assessed by measuring spinal shrinkage (change in length) using stadiometry. However, traditional stadiometry protocols only measure total spine shrinkage, and their complex posture control strategies (using sensors and apparatus) require a costly pre-training session. The aim of this study was to test the measurement properties (repeatability, test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, responsiveness) of a simplified protocol, requiring no separate training, also providing lumbar- and thoracic-specific measures. Twenty participants (8 males and 12 females) performed two sessions 3-14 days apart for test-retest reliability testing. Ten successive stadiometric (indicator over the head) and optical measures at four spine levels were performed while standing in a standardized 5-point posture against a wall, before and after both a side-lying unloading and a 10-kg loading condition. The simplified "against-the-wall" repositioning strategy produced repeatable scores. The optical approach gives satisfactory results for concurrent validity, responsiveness, and absolute (but not relative) reliability.

7. The impact of partial automation and cognitive load on drivers' visual search strategies in an urban driving environment.
PMID:日期:2026-09-15Non-visual cognitive tasks (e.g., hands-free phone conversations) are well known to impair drivers' visual search in manual driving, but evidence in partially automated driving (PAD) remains inconsistent and limited, especially in complex driving environments that demand active visual scanning. In a driving-simulator study, we examined how automation and cognitive load (2-back task) shape visual-search strategies in a busy urban setting with frequent distractors and potential hazards, using both temporal and sequential scanning measures. Unlike findings from monotonous driving contexts, PAD drivers broadened their visual search without trading off attention to the forward road. Under cognitive load, their attention to peripheral roadway declined more sharply than in manual driving, leading to restricted visual search across both driving modes. Our results underscore the influence of non-visual distraction on drivers' visual scanning during PAD in complex environments and highlight the value of eye-tracking-based features for monitoring cognitive load.

8. When a voice agent becomes a flight instructor: Effects of instructor and expertise in simulated flight training.
PMID:日期:2026-09-14Voice agents (VAs) are increasingly used in learning, training, and human-AI interaction. In this study, a VA instructor for simulated flight training was designed to examine training performance and experience compared with a human instructor. The effects of learners' expertise in flight knowledge and simulated flight experience were also investigated. Sixty-eight participants took part in a between-subjects experiment to learn simulated flight in an aircraft simulator with different instructor types. Subjective ratings, objective flight data, and physiological data were collected. The results showed that participants reported positive attitudes toward learning with the VA. Learner expertise influenced mental model development and subjective task load, with participants of higher expertise demonstrating more complete mental models and lower task load. Instructor type was also associated with learning experience and flight behavior. Compared with the human instructor, VA instruction showed directional patterns toward lower subjective task load and higher flight velocity, with comparable overall training outcomes. These findings support the feasibility of VA-based instruction in simulated flight training and highlight its potential as an instructional agent in complex human-computer interaction environments.

9. Physical fatigue increases shipboard firefighting simulation completion time and perceived workload.
PMID:日期:2026-09-03Firefighting involves physically demanding tasks performed under high heat and time pressure. While previous research reports the physical load involved, the extent to which physical fatigue impedes firefighting performance, especially in shipboard environments remains underexplored. Using a laboratory-based shipboard firefighting simulation, this study investigated how physical fatigue and heat influences time-to-completion (TTC), perceived workload, and muscular strength. Thirty participants completed the simulation in Fresh, Fatigue, and Fatigue + Heat conditions, followed by physical performance testing. Compared to Fresh, simulation TTC increased by 7.2% and 8.5% under Fatigue and Fatigue + Heat conditions respectively (p < 0.001; d = 0.62 - 0.69), with RPE increasing by 32% (Fatigue) and 46% (Fatigue + Heat) (p < 0.001; d = 1.31 - 2.39). Further, pre-simulation fatigue reduced both isometric mid-thigh pull and push-up peak forces (measured post-simulation) compared to control strength measures (p < 0.05; d = 0.18 - 0.27). This study highlights how physical fatigue hinders physical capabilities in a firefighting context.

10. Using physiological measures to assess and diagnose team performance: An interrogative approach.
PMID:日期:2026-08-25Physiological measures have the potential to capture the dynamic nature of teamwork as it unfolds. Despite this potential, relatively few studies have applied physiological data in team contexts, leaving a gap in theory and practice. To address this gap, this work examines the following question: What are the emerging principles for using physiological measures to assess and diagnose team performance? To explore this question, we present an interrogative approach that structures the key considerations for applying physiological measures in team research. Specifically, this approach organizes considerations related to the purpose, context, personnel, timing, measurement selection, and implementation of using physiological measures to assess team performance. Building on prior guidance, we propose a set of emerging principles that synthesize best practices while introducing new considerations specific to the use of physiological data in team contexts. These principles provide practical guidance for researchers and practitioners seeking to leverage physiological measures, while emphasizing that their effective use depends on rigorous methodology, ethical safeguards, and integration with other validated assessment approaches.
