FINAL REPORT 1 - European Perspective on mental health
What is 'FINAL REPORT 1'?
'FINAL REPORT 1' was the result of extensive desk research conducted during Activity 1 of Work Package 2. This research focused on essential aspects related to well-being in the workplace, including burnout, long-term unemployment, and work-life balance, not just in our country but at a European level.
Why Was It Significant?
'FINAL REPORT 1' was significant because it laid the foundation for our understanding of these critical issues. The collected data underscored the European Union's recognition of the importance of mental health in the public health agenda. It highlighted the need to address mental health comprehensively, recognizing the interconnections between mental health risks, sub-threshold conditions of poor health, and psychological well-being.
Understanding Burnout:
One of the key findings was the prevalence of burnout as an occupational problem. This condition was mainly caused by imbalances in job content and the social work environment. 'FINAL REPORT 1' emphasized the importance of understanding the factors contributing to burnout's development and the need for effective preventive and intervention measures to protect workers across different job areas.
Valuable Recommendations:
The research results also provided valuable recommendations. For example, they highlighted the need for knowledge on effective policy-making in the field of job quality and the construction of indicators to measure imbalances in job content. These indicators could serve as a basis for promoting effective workplace interventions, which was a vital step in our project's mission.
