Abstract:

Occupational stress can affect physiological and psychological homeostasis. In addition, the occupational challenges associated with firefighting and law enforcement have been linked to increased mortality ratios for ischemic heart disease when compared with other population cohorts. Laboratory studies have shown that the exacerbation of stress hormones (eg, catecholamines) following dual challenge (physical and psychological stress) may affect immune system responses, which may partially explain the link between cardiovascular disease and inflammation. Physical fitness has been shown to attenuate both cardiovascular and inflammatory cytokine responses following physical and/or psychological stress; however, criteria for safe and effective occupation-specific fitness levels have not been established. In addition, firefighters and police officers have high overweight and obesity rates, which also contribute significantly to the development of cardiovascular disease. Future investigation on the possible interaction (additive or synergistic) of obesity and psychological stress on the development of cardiovascular diseases in these professions is warranted, and a criterion for fitness level should be established for safe and effective participation in occupation-related activities.

Abstract:

Background and Aims: Jakarta is a metropolitan city of Indonesia and most people in Jakarta are working on various occupation such as technology-based and highly skilled occupations are common (construction workers, engineers, programmer, entrepreneurs) and desk-based workers. Those occupation, stress from those occupation and environment may impair male fertility. This study was aimed to determine specific occupations, occupational stress and environment and their association with sperm parameter. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was used, and 24 male participants underwent IUI treatment in Yasmin Fertility Clinic, Jakarta were recruited. Sperm concentration, motility, morphology, velocity was analyzed using Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) and sperm DNA fragmentation index was assessed using Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay (SCSA). Interview was also conducted to obtain information on age, length of marriage, biological children, occupational exposure, occupational-related psychological stress. The results were compared to parameter in WHO manual 6th edition. Results: All 24 participants experienced exposure to potential disruptor to fertility such as vehicle emission, smoke inhalation and computer radiation (Fig. 1). Their raw semen parameters were lower compared to WHO manual 6th edition. Further results indicated that washing increased the value of all standard parameters and reduced sperm DNA fragmentation index in all samples. Further results showed abnormal morphology and sperm on fresh ejaculate are affected by stress intensity and frequency. However, total motility and abnormal morphology are significant correlated to stress intensity and frequency on both before and after sperm washing (Table 1). Conclusion: Types of occupation and highly exposed to air pollution and/or demands prolonged time of sitting behaviour pose higher risk of sperm quality deterioration. Also, psychological stress resulted from workload may associate with sperm parameters outcome.

Abstract:

Introduction Arterial hypertension is an important medical, social and economic problem in the working population. Factors of occupational exposure lead to a much faster and more frequent occurrence of this disease and its consequential complications. Among these factors the following take an important place: noise, carbon monoxide, job dissatisfaction, microclimate conditions, chemical agents, shift work, night work, monotonous work and so on. The purpose of this study was to analyze working conditions, working environment, work demands and identification of occupational Stressors and their influence on development of arterial hypertension. Material and methods This investigation included 3470 workers and it examined technological processes, working time, job satisfaction, interpersonal relations and physical and chemical hazards of their workplaces. The exposed group consisted of 2270 workers occupationally exposed to Stressors. Control group included 1200 workers whose workplaces were without Stressors. Workers of exposed group were divided into 14 subgroups in regard to presence of occupational hazards. Results Arterial hypertension was established in 39.9% of workers of exposed group, which is statistically significantly more than in controls (25.7%). The highest prevalence of arterial hypertension was at workers who were dissatisfied with the job and who were at the same time occupationally exposed to noise and carbon monoxide. Family predisposition and smoking have cumulative effects with occupational hazards. Discussion Possible mechanisms of arterial hypertension development include activation of adrenergic nervous system, renin-angiotensin aldosteron system, higher concentrations of steroids, catecholamines and free radicals caused by occupational hazards. Conclusion Occupational Stressors are significant factors in development of arterial hypertension of exposed workers. The most important Stressors are noise, carbon monoxide and job dissatisfaction.

Abstract:

Background. People who are diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can experience disruptions in their daily occupations. Occupational therapists may assist clients with PTSD to reengage in meaningful occupations. Purpose. This scoping review aims to identify and describe the ways occupational therapy addresses PTSD in clinical practice. Method. Scholarly databases were searched for documents relating to occupational therapy and PTSD. Two reviewers independently applied selection criteria and systematically extracted information. Data were extracted and synthesized in a narrative format. Findings. Fifty sources met inclusion criteria and three major themes were identified: recognizing trauma within specific populations, PTSD’s impact on a range of occupations, and occupational therapy’s response to PTSD. Implications. Occupational therapists are working in multidisciplinary teams to reduce the impact of PTSD on the daily occupations of their clients. More effectiveness studies are required to understand the outcomes of occupational therapy interventions for clients with PTSD.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can result from occupational exposures and poses a considerable burden to workers, their families, workplaces and to society in general. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to conduct a rapid review of the literature to answer the question: “Which occupations have exposures that may lead to a PTSD diagnosis?” METHODS: A rapid review was conducted in six steps: review question development, literature search, study selection (inclusion/exclusion), study characterization, data extraction, and data synthesis. RESULTS: The search identified 3428 unique references which were reviewed to find 16 relevant studies in 23 articles. The articles revealed associations between PTSD and rescue workers (police, firefighters, etc.), health care professionals, transit drivers, and bank employees which seem well supported by the literature. Some studies also suggest potential associations with PTSD and construction and extraction, electricians, manufacturing, installation, maintenance and repair, transportation and material moving, and clerical workers. CONCLUSIONS: A rapid review of the peer-reviewed scientific literature of PTSD prevalence or treatment suggests many occupations have exposures that could be associated with PTSD. Occupational traumatic events were most often associated with PTSD diagnosis. More research is needed to better understand the association between occupation and PTSD.

Abstract:

The aim: To identify the features of the influence of occupational stress on occupation-specific indicators of employees’ mental health. Materials and methods: In total, 771 skilled Russian-speaking respondents (226 men, 545 women; aged 18–67 years, M = 32.32 ± 12.28 years) from different countries and representing various professions participated in a remote online survey. Occupational stress intensity was assessed using the Russian adaptations of the Organizational Constraints Scale, Quantitative Workload Inventory and Aggressive Experiences Scale. Occupation-specific indicators of employees’ mental health were assessed using the Russian adaptations of the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Withdrawal Scale and Negative Affect at Work Scale. Results: The results showed a significant negative influence of occupational stress on occupation-specific indicators of employees’ mental health. All three indicators of occupational stress showed strong significant correlations (p < .001; r = .16–.60) with all five occupation-specific indicators of negative mental health. Constraints on performance at work had the greatest negative influence on employees’ mental health, followed by aggressive experiences and workload. Constraints on performance at work caused withdrawal behaviors and workload caused emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment and withdrawal behaviors in men significantly more often than in women. Aggressive experiences caused depersonalization and negative affect at work in women significantly more often than in men. Conclusions: Occupational stress had a significant negative influence on all occupation-specific indicators of employees’ mental health. This influence had pronounced gendered characteristics. These results convincingly demonstrate the need for effective measures to prevent occupational stress.

Abstract:

Canadian public safety personnel (e.g., correctional workers, firefighters) experience potential stressors as a function of their occupation. Occupational stressors can include organizational (e.g., job context) and operational (e.g., job content) elements. Operational stressors (e.g., exposures to potentially psychologically traumatic events) may be inevitable, but opportunities may exist to mitigate other occupational stressors for public safety personnel. Research exploring the diverse forms of stress among public safety personnel remains sparse. In our current qualitative study we provide insights into how public safety personnel interpret occupational stressors. We use a semi-grounded thematic approach to analyze what public safety personnel reported when asked to further comment on occupational stress or their work experiences in two open-ended comment fields of an online survey. We provide a more comprehensive understanding of how public safety personnel experience occupational stress and the stressors that are unique to their occupations. Beyond known operational stressors, our respondents (n = 1238; n = 828) reported substantial difficulties with organizational (interpersonal work relationship dynamics; workload distribution, resources, and administrative obligations) and operational (vigilance, work location, interacting with the public) stressors. Some operational stressors are inevitable, but other occupational stressors can be mitigated to better support our public safety personnel.

Abstract:

The study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence, occupational stress and productivity of employees in electrical industries. Research questions were answered while null hypotheses formulated were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a correlational research design and was carried out in North Central States of Nigeria. The population for the study was 301 employees in electrical industries. The entire employees were involved in the study. The instrument for data collection was questionnaire titled Emotional Intelligence, Occupational Stress and Productivity Questionnaire (EIOSPQ). Five experts face- validated the instrument. The internal consistency of the questionnaire items was determined using Cronbach alpha reliability method and coefficients of 0.88 was obtained for Electrical Occupational Stress, 0.94 for Productivity of workers in electrical occupation, 0.85 for Emotional intelligence of employees. The overall reliability coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.96. Out of 301 copies of EIOSPQ administered, 295 copies were completed representing 98.01 percent return rate. Pearson product moment correlation and regression analysis were employed to analyse data for answering research questions and hypotheses. The findings on hypotheses revealed that: EI significantly predicts productivity of employees in electrical industries, EI does not significantly predicts occupational stress of employees in electrical industries, emotional intelligence was a significant moderator of the relationship between occupational stress and productivity of employees in electrical industries, demographic variables were not significantly influenced emotional intelligence and productivity of employees in electrical industries. It was recommended that employees in electrical industries should be sensitized through workshops and seminars on how EI can influence their productivity and occupational stress in their occupations.

Abstract:

Stress is the health epidemic of the 21st century. Stress results in negative outcomes as well as positive outcomes. Moreover, with the evolution of industries, work-related stress is a phenomenon that constantly increases in severity. Therefore, a professional's stress can negatively impact the quality of their work. Thus, the ‘Occupational Stress’ study requirement is a timely topic. However, the lack of a wholesome generic definition for occupational stress is a hurdle for further research on the study area. Hence, this study aimed at developing a definition for ‘Occupational/ Job/ Work/Workplace Stress’. The research was wholly based on an in-depth literature review. One hundred one research publications were analysed to extract twenty-five definitions of ‘stress’ and ‘occupational stress’. The definition was conceptualised by establishing three ‘Themes’ and ‘Key Constructs’ within the themes using the content analysis of the available definitions in the literature. As a result, a new theme was identified in addition to the ‘occupational stress’ compared to the ‘stress’. Furthermore, it is evident that ‘Occupational Stress’ is also linked to occupation/ work/ job acting as a subset of ‘Stress’. Therefore, the derived definition can be used as a basis for further research on occupational stress.

Abstract:

Occupational stress is drawing the attention of an increasing number of authors who deal with psychology of work and organization. Unlike old, "industrial" definitions of stress at work, modern ones put the emphasis on the psychological aspects of work which have adverse effects on the employee's mood, motivation and general health condition. Therefore, more attention is dedicated to the approach of superiors, interpersonal relations and balance between private and business life, as well as traditional effects of monotony, work conditions and opportunities for advancement. The author establishes an expertise base about stress by presenting and analyzing the results of numerous scientifically relevant studies on the topic of stress at work, thus familiarizing students, researchers and practitioners with the most important postulates, observations and implications for treating consequences of stress. Moreover, stress as one of the most current issues of modern era is increasingly positioning itself in the centre of the work context through problematic interpersonal relations, conflict or confusing work roles and insufficient or inadequate reward. The author finishes his book/textbook with the chapter about stress measurement methods and techniques, which will be crucial in proving the presence and toxic effects of stress, and in treating stress-related occupational diseases in the future.

Abstract:

Background: Stress in the modern workplace is globally considered a risk factor for workers’ health and safety. However, a review of the prevalence and associated factors of occupational stress in developing countries like Vietnam was largely lacking. This review aimed to describe the situation of occupational stress among certain jobs from studies carried out in Vietnam. Methods: The review was implemented by using key words to search on online and offline, international and national database. After going through 2 stages of selections, total 25 eligible articles were chosen and used for this review. Results: The results showed the prevalence of occupational stress was varied and ranged from 6.4% to 90.4%. The study population focused on health workers, factory workers, students, academic staff and officers. The prevalence of each occupation ranged from 6.4% to 90.4% in health workers; 20.7% to 89.6% in factory workers; and 22.8% to 68.3% in students. Conclusions: In conclusion, the prevalence of occupational stress was very varied between and within each occupation. Therefore, a new way to develop in enhancing the occupational stress data, particularly in developing countries, is urgently needed.

Abstract:

IntroductionMaintaining good health with advancing age is increasingly important as most European countries experience an increase in retirement age. In order to decrease the risk of premature departure from the workforce, identifying groups at increased risk of musculoskeletal pain and psychosocial stress is essential in designing workplace policies. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between occupational groups differing in terms of physical demands and skill requirement, and the outcomes of stress and pain.MethodsThis cross-sectional study reports associations of nine different occupational groups with stress and pain among 11 474 senior workers; stratified by occupational group and based on the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO). A large-scale questionnaire survey was dispatched to Danish workers; drawn as a probability sample and merged with national registers. Representative estimates were produced using logistic regression controlling for various confounders, combined with model-assisted weights.ResultsThe prevalence of daily pain and high stress among occupational groups ranged between 20.0%–50.5% and 3.9%–10.0%, respectively. Compared with occupations characterised by being mostly sedentary (ISCO group 1–4), those with primarily physical demanding work (ISCO group 5–9) had higher odds of daily pain (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.37 to 1.70) and a tendency towards higher stress scores (OR 1.20, 95% CI 0.98 to 1.46). Lastly, female workers experience increased odds of daily pain (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.35 to 1.66) and high stress (OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.29 to 1.89) compared with male workers.ConclusionsOccupational settings characterised by mainly physical work and low skill requirements are more likely to experience daily pain compared with those entailing mainly sedentary work. Likewise, in this sample of senior workers, women are more likely to experience pain and stress. These results highlights the need for improving occupation-specific and sex-specific guidelines in the prevention of musculoskeletal pain and psychological stress in workplaces.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials identifier: NCT03634410

Abstract:

Objectives: To assess the prevalence of bruxism and occupational stress among Saudi Arabian fighter pilots. Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional study where 110 fighter pilots were compared with 110 control non-pilots. The data collection was carried out by two dentists between February 2018 and May 2019. The subjects who consented to the study completed the Karasek’s Demand-Control questionnaire (short version) comprising 11 questions (5 for demand and 6 for control) designed to measure occupational stress. The assessment of bruxism was made using the non-instrumental approach of the International Consensus on the Assessment of Bruxism which includes both clinical examination and self-report of diurnal and nocturnal bruxism. A logistic regression test was performed with bruxism as the dependent variable controlling for occupational stress, type of occupation, and smoking status. Results: The total sample comprising pilots and non-pilots had an overall bruxism prevalence of 41.8%, with more pilots (52.7%) than non-pilots (30.9%) having the condition. Occupational stress was experienced by more pilots than non-pilots (45.5% vs. 27.3%, respectively). Bruxism was significantly associated with type of occupation (pilots vs. non-pilots) controlling for occupational stress in both univariate and multivariate logistic regression tests; odd ratio (OR) = 2.5; (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.1-5.4, p = 0.016) and OR = 2.6; (95% CI: 1.2-5.8, p= 0.020), respectively. Conclusions: The pilots demonstrated significantly higher occupational stress and bruxism than the non-pilots. The pilots were 3.9 times more likely to have a combination of stress and bruxism than non-pilots. Further investigations are necessary to determine whether any causal relationship exists between occupational stress and bruxism.

Abstract:

Previous studies have reported that occupational stress is a determinant risk factor for both chronic diseases and job performance among organizational leaders. Every occupation has its own culture and occupational climate influencing organizations within the industries. Thus, due to the idiosyncratic features inherent in sports, athletic directors may experience different occupational stressors. To date, there has been no comprehensive review of the occupational stress in athletic director contexts. Thus, based on the literature on both occupational stress and sport leadership, this study proposes a conceptual framework of occupational stress in sport leadership. The model identifies the five higher-order themes of occupational stressors and their associations with the first-level outcomes of individuals and the second-level outcomes of organizations. It also includes the two higher-order moderators of personal and organizational factors. It is hoped that this initiative can invoke interest in this topic to provide health-enhancing environments for athletic directors and quality sport services to society.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between occupational stress and organisational commitment of employees at a higher education institution. A random sample (N=30) was chosen from academic staff within the university. The study used a quantitative design. The Organisational Stress Screening Tool (ASSET) and Allen and Meyer’s Organisational Commitment Tool (OCT) were administered. The study revealed that a statistical significant relationship exists between occupational stress and organizational commitment of employees. The study also showed that academic staff overall experienced average levels of occupational stress and organisational commitment. Job characteristics and work relationship were found to be the major sources of occupation stress. It is recommended that higher education institutions should improve employee participation in decision making to reduce employees’ stress as a result of unmanageable workloads and overload.

Abstract:

In this modern era, stress becomes a major and relevant problem almost all over the world. Due to increasing trend of stress in every aspect of human life, the 21st century may be looked upon as a century of the stress. Even as days progress, the participation of women in different occupational sector is significantly increasing along with male. Recently, stress is also rising due to globalization and global financial crisis. Occupational stress mainly arises due to unsuitable environment, excessive workload, long time to work, multidimensional work, less salary, non-permanent job, lack of task control, poor relation with higher authority, etc. the main objective of this paper is to find out various factors of occupational stress in West Bengal. In West Bengal, there are various government and non-government sectors with organized and unorganized divisions. Primary data, related to occupational stress, have been collected from the districts of West Bengal. A five-points Likert scale has been used to estimate occupational stress. The average stress score has been determined for the people of rural and urban areas and government and non-government sectors. Chi-square test is applied to test hypotheses related to occupational stress. Factor analysis is implemented to identify the key factors which may directly affect on occupational stress. Logistic regression analysis is utilized to test the significant impacts of few vital socio-economic factors on occupational stress. Mental and physical health issues among the respondents for occupational stress have been identified. The result shows that there is a moderate occupational stress on an average among the employees of West Bengal. However, there is a significant difference in the stress level among rural and urban people as well as government and non-government workers. The result also illustrates that job type, age, occupation, environment of workplace, spending hours at office place, help from colleagues, promotion system, pressure to perform have highly significant impact on occupational stress.

Abstract:

AbstractIn many countries law enforcement rangers are frontline guardians responsible for the management, monitoring and protection of protected areas and wildlife species. To date, little research has been conducted on law enforcement rangers and their perceptions of stress. This exploratory study contributes to both the criminological and conservation literature by exploring an important human dimension often neglected in conservation science research: law enforcement rangers. Similar to previous research on police occupational stress, it is expected that law enforcement rangers experience stressors unique to their profession. Utilizing an ethnographic case study approach based on interviews and participant observation, this research examines ranger perceptions of occupational stress in a protected area in Uganda. Findings indicate that law enforcement rangers are exposed to various occupational/task-related, external, internal, and occupation-related personal strains. Results from the study have implications in understanding, reducing and preventing occupational stress in rangers, as well as in capacity building for park management.

Abstract:

Sedentary lifestyle and low physical activity are associated with health issues, including both physical and mental health, non-communicable diseases, overweight, obesity and reduced quality of life. This study investigated differences in physical activity and other individual factors among different occupational groups, highlighting the impact of sedentary behaviour on perceived stress by occupation. Cross-sectional study included 571 full-time workers of Kaunas city, Lithuania. The outcome of this study was assessment of perceived stress. Time spent sedentary per day, occupation and other individual characteristics were self-reported using questionnaires. Two main occupational groups were analysed: white-collar and blue-collar workers. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the impact of sedentary behaviour on perceived stress among different occupational groups. The prevalence of high sedentary behaviour was 21.7 and 16.8 % among white-collar and blue-collar workers, respectively. Blue-collar workers had a higher risk of high perceived stress (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.05–2.29) compared to white-collar workers; however, sedentary time did not have any impact on high perceived stress level. Meanwhile, white-collar male (OR 4.34, 95% CI 1.46–12.95) and white-collar female (OR 3.26, 95% CI 1.23–8.65) workers who spend more than three hours per day sedentary had a greater risk of high levels of perceived stress. These findings indicate sedentary behaviour effect on perceived stress among two occupational groups—white-collar and blue-collar workers—and other important factors associated with perceived stress.

Abstract:

Professional and occupational burnout is a recognized syndrome among healthcare professionals, although the point at which burnout begins is unclear. There is a dearth of research investigating burnout and occupational stress in relation to podiatric medicine, although two recent studies have reported high levels of burnout expressed by podiatric medical practitioners. This study was undertaken to compare the levels of burnout in newly qualified practitioners in Australia and the United Kingdom. The results suggest that levels of burnout are higher in these groups than indicated by the published normative medical data. Occupational stress was associated with lack of professional status and with geographic and professional isolation. Within these two themes, there were clear differences between the two groups.

Abstract:

Abstract Stress is an important problem in the majority of countries. Apart from the fact that it is responsible for numerous diseases, it also causes much suffering. Stress appears as an adaptation reaction of our body to those external factors that we perceive as being agressive and which frequently lead us to an alarm state, felt both psychically (tension, fear, anxiety), and physically (increase of the adrenaline secretion, intensity of heartbeats, sweating). It isn’t actually a disease, but it can lead to sickness in time. This is why it is good to know what stresses us and how we can escape stress.

Abstract:

Stress at the workplace is a global issue faced by individuals and organisations. Police officers are considered to be one of the most stressful occupations globally. This study aimed to determine factors that cause occupational stress and general well-being, the relationship between operational stress and general well-being, organisational stress and general well-being, and compare the level of occupational stress between departments. This cross-sectional study utilised the stratified random sampling procedure and recruited 107 police from a Districts Police Headquarters in Kedah. The Police Stress Questionnaire (PSQ) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) was used. The data has been entered and analysed using (SPSS) version 24. Perceived operational and organisational stress prevalence among the study population was moderate, with 50% operational stress (moderate stress in 39.3% and high stress in 10.3%), while organisational stress reported 60% (moderate stress in 36.4% and increased stress in 23.4%). The most common stressors reported for operational stress were negative comments from the public (19.6%), while organisational stress was staff shortage (30.8%). There is a significant negative correlation between operational and organisational stress and general well-being with r = -0.806 and r = -0.786. This study strengthens the findings that police job was stressful. The action needs to be taken by the organisational so that occupational stress can be reduced and increase the well-being of the police officers.

Abstract:

Today stress is one of the most common pathological conditions. Associated with the stress, it’s level, anxiety, depression, and burnout syndrome are still increasing and lead to the spread of psychological maladaptation and borderline states. Working population is under continuous exposure not only to social, but also occupational stress, which creates a financial burden for institutions and whole society. This review outlines the main directions of studying the impact of work-related stress on the workers’ body and examines the main occupations affected by stress and prevention as well. Literature search was carried out among databases including Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, CyberLeninka, RSCI. The workers of dangerous occupations (transport drivers, locomotive crews, law enforcement, firefighters, rescuers), managers, working migrants, and healthcare workers are most susceptible to occupational stress. The number of people suffering from bad habits increases due to work-related stress as well. Workers use nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, sleeping pills and narcotic drugs as a negative way to overcome stress and its consequences. A special focus has been put on the influence of occupational stress on diseases development due to hazardous working conditions and features of work process management such as shift work and “emotional labour”. Furthermore, there are presented main directions of preventive measures to reduce the level of industrial stress.

Abstract:

The study attempted to unravel the influence of occupational stress to employee performance. The findings revealed that 97.6% of respondents have experienced stress at their place of work. 60% of respondents attributed occupational stress to work overload, 31.7% reported stress arising from negative work relations, 21.9% reported role ambiguity and conflict as a source of stress and 14.6% reported long hours as a source of stress. Other minor causes of stress include lack of job security, low salaries, and facilitation, which in turn creates financial strains, hence the occupational stress. Findings further show that occupational stress has an effect on the employee at work. 51.2% reported a fall in their job performance as a result of stress, 29.2% reported psychological effects like mood swings, feelings of anger towards other employees, and frequent arguments with co-workers, and 19,5% reported physiological effects which include excessive perspiration, frequent headaches, and nausea coupled with fatigue. Occupational stress has an effect on the organization itself. 41.5% of respondents observed a decline in the overall performance of employees who experience occupational stress due to the delays observed in the execution of tasks at the organization. 26.8% reported a fall in timely and quality service delivery from the organization. A few respondents reported no significant effect noticed on the organization, in fact, it improved service delivery and performance. Using relaxation techniques like listening to music and watching soccer as a means of managing occupational stress, 22% of respondents utilized social support networks like counseling and interacting with colleagues, and 29.3% had to improve on-time management in order to manage occupational stress. The study recommends more personal and group wellness programs, improvement in workplace communication and working environment, redesigning of jobs and their description to reduce on job ambiguity hence managing occupation stress.

Abstract:

AbstractThis study explored possible identification of Perpetration-induced Traumatic Stress (PITS) in workers whose occupations required euthanizing nonhuman animals and determining whether event or person-related factors influenced symptoms. The sample included 148 animal workers: veterinarians, veterinary nurses, and research and animal shelter staff. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) assessed traumatic stress. Experimenters constructed additional scales measuring satisfaction with social support, participation in various types of training, and concern over animal death. More than 70% of participants reported affinity toward animals had strongly influenced their occupation selection. Half the sample perceived animal death—particularly euthanasia—as one of the least desirable jobs. Of the sample, 11% reported experiencing moderate levels of traumatic symptoms. The study found lower levels of euthanasia-related stress were associated with increased satisfaction with social support and length of time working with animals. Those who reported high levels of concern about animal death reported higher levels of euthanasia-related stress. The study found occupational context was not associated with different levels of euthanasia-related stress symptoms—even though reasons for administering euthanasia differed significantly between occupations.
