Association between Job Stress and Insomnia in Korean Workers

Abstract

Association between Job Stress and Insomnia in Korean Workers: Hwan-Cheol Kim, et al.

Psychosocial work factors and sleep problems: findings from the French national SIP survey

“…Previous studies (Eriksen et al 2008;Fahlen et al 2006;Kim et al 2011;Kudielka et al 2004) showed a significant association between low reward and various sleep outcomes; only one of these studies had a prospective design (Eriksen et al 2008). Job insecurity was associated with sleep problems in model 1 in our cross-sectional analysis.…”

“…Job insecurity was associated with sleep problems in model 1 in our cross-sectional analysis. Two previous studies reported an association between job insecurity and sleep outcomes in cross-sectional samples of Korean workers (Kim et al 2011;Park et al 2013).…”

“…However, other authors underlined the interest and validity to construct proxies (Karasek et al 2007). Some psychosocial work factors may have been neglected as they were not available in the survey and may be important in the association with sleep, such as organizational injustice Kim et al 2011), threats and violence at work (Eriksen et al 2008;Park et al 2013), or bullying (Lallukka et al 2011;Nakata et al 2004;Niedhammer et al 2009). No validated instrument to measure sleep problems was used.…”

“…Nevertheless, the authors of this review suggest that using all prospective studies (not only high-quality prospective studies), there may be moderate evidence for the effects of low social support, effort-reward imbalance and organizational injustice on sleep. Studies, that were not all prospective, found that low reward (Eriksen et al 2008;Fahlen et al 2006;Kim et al 2011;Kudielka et al 2004), role conflict (Eriksen et al 2008;Knudsen et al 2007), emotional demands (Park et al 2013), job insecurity (Kim et al 2011;Park et al 2013) or work-family conflicts (Lallukka et al 2010(Lallukka et al , 2014Park et al 2013) were associated with sleep outcomes. These factors may be considered as emergent psychosocial work factors in association with sleep outcomes.…”

Job stress, burnout, and job satisfaction in sleep apnea patients

“…Workers who have a sleep disorder such as insomnia or OSAS have reported higher job stress compared with that of healthy individuals [16]. Å´kerstedt et al [17] argue that sleep may be involved in the development of burnout, as individuals with symptoms of burnout also report sleep fragmentation.…”
