Occupational Health Psychology (OHP) is the specialized interdisciplinary field that applies psychological principles to improving the quality of work life, protecting and promoting the safety, health, and psychological wellbeing of workers, and creating psychologically healthy workplaces. Developed through the convergence of health psychology, industrial hygiene, and ergonomics, OHP focuses acutely on workplace psychosocial hazards rather than merely personal vulnerabilities. Centered on seminal paradigms such as Johannes Siegrist’s Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) Model<\/strong>, Christina Maslach’s multidimensional burnout architecture, and the US NIOSH Total Worker Health (TWH)<\/strong> framework, OHP investigates the biological, neuroendocrine, and systemic manifestations of chronic workplace stress. The Occupational Health Psychology Psychoeducation Module<\/strong> delivers 14 comprehensive video lessons exploring shift-work circadian disruption, moral distress in healthcare, workplace incivility, secondary traumatic stress, and organizational primary prevention.<\/p>\n
