In 1990, the Nordic Council of Ministers initiated the joint Nordic project on "Work and health among health care personnel". The main aims were: To review and evaluate research data concerning the health and work of health care personnel in the Nordic countries, initiate joint Nordic projects and promote collaboration between Nordic researchers. Altogether more than one million people in the Nordic countries are employed in the health care sector, or almost 10% of the labour force. In all the Nordic countries the labour force in the health sector is dominated by women; the proportion of women being between 84 and 87%. In Norway and Sweden a large share of the labour force works part time. When controlled for sex and level of education, sick leave is the same among health personnel as among the general working population. As in the whole population, sick leave is higher among women, and among persons with a lower level of education. In general, workers in the health care sector in the Nordic countries run no greater risk of developing occupationally related injuries than other workers do. In a register-based study of Swedish workers it was found that the risk of being absent from work because of violence or threats is higher among health personnel than in the general working population.
1990年，北欧部长理事会发起了关于“医护人员的工作与健康”的北欧联合项目。主要目标是：审查和评估有关北欧国家医护人员健康与工作的研究数据，启动北欧联合项目并促进北欧研究人员之间的合作。北欧国家共有超过100万人受雇于医疗保健部门，约占劳动力的10%。在所有北欧国家，卫生部门的劳动力以女性为主；女性比例在84%至87%之间。在挪威和瑞典，很大一部分劳动力从事兼职工作。在控制了性别和教育水平之后，卫生人员的病假情况与一般劳动人口相同。和全体人口一样，女性和教育水平较低者的病假率更高。总体而言，北欧国家医疗保健部门的工作人员遭受与职业相关伤害的风险并不比其他工作人员更高。在一项基于登记数据对瑞典工人的研究中发现，卫生人员因暴力或威胁而缺勤的风险高于一般劳动人口。
