“…It was identified that different from our expectation, all the sub-factors of occupational stress had no significant correlation with gastric disease. Using various stress measuring tools such as Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) of Holmes & Rahe, Korean-SRRS complementing this, Korean version of Brief Encounter PsychoSocial Instrument Scale, and Daily Stress Inventory, it was not consistent with the result of previous studies that stress was highly correlated with gastric ulcer 11,22). Because there have been few studies that identified correlation with gastric disease using KOSS, in order to study correlation between sociodemographic factors and occupational stress, it was necessary to restrict the analysis subject to the gastric disease group in order to overcome the limitation of traditional studies.…”

“…In addition, being married and living with a mate and family might involve conflict. Having a family may have an effect on personal health and disease and this may explain why the distribution of married subjects in the patient group was significantly higher 11). However, with regard to alcohol consumption and gastric disease, no statistically significant differences were found.…”

Relationship between Occupational Stress and Gastric Disease in Male Workers

et al. 2012

BackgroundPhysical and mental health of workers is threatened due to various events and chronic occupational stress. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between occupational stress and gastric disease in male workers of the shipbuilding industry.MethodsOccupational stress measured among a total of 498 workers of a shipbuilding firm who visited the hospital for health examination using the Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS)-short form, and the relationship between sociodemographic factors, health-related behaviors, occupational stress, and gastric disease, and the distribution of occupational stress by sociodemographic factors in the gastric disease group was examined.ResultsThere was no significant association between gastric disease and total occupational stress score and its seven sub-factors. The analysis showed that risk of gastric disease was significantly higher in the Q1 group in which the stress caused by occupational discomfort among seven sub-factors was lowest than that in the Q4 group (odds ratio, 2.819; 95% confidence interval, 1.151 to 6.908). Analysis only on the gastric disease group showed that the stress score of laborers was higher in the four sub-factors than that of office workers (P < 0.05). Analysis on educational background showed that the scores of the three sub-factors were lower in subjects who's highest level of education was high school (P < 0.01).ConclusionThis study suggests that it is necessary to improve the culture of Korean collectivism in the workplace and to manage the occupational stress in the low-educated and laborers. It is recommended for future studies to confirm the causal relationship between occupational stress and gastric disease by large scale studies using a KOSS which appropriately reflects workplace culture.

“…army induction training, to investigate the multi factorial nature of this disease. Weiner et al [ 16] were able to document that biologic and personality vulnerabilities may interact in settings of stress to promote the presentation of a peptic ulcer disease. Reich [17] docu mented that emotionally charged affective states promote cardiovascular arrythmias.…”

“…Moreover, plasma pepsinogen level, taken as a measure of gastric secretory potential, has also been shown to be predictive of susceptibility to duodenal ulcer in man (3,4). The relationship between pepsinogen level and ulcer susceptibility is not a direct physiologic one.…”

Effects of Early Experience and Differential Housing on Susceptibility to Gastric Erosions in Lesion-Susceptible Rats

A population of lesion-susceptible rats was derived from the mating of control females with males from a selectively bred strain of ulcer-susceptible animals. Litters of lesion-susceptible and control animals were randomly assigned to groups which were handled daily throughout the first or second 3 weeks of life or which remained undisturbed. Half of each subgroup was subsequently housed individually or in groups of 4-5/cage. Emotional reactivity was reduced in grouphoused animals relative to those individually housed, and in the individually housed, handled group relative to the nonhandled control population; handling did not influence emotional reactivity in the lesion-susceptible population. These lesion-susceptible animals were more susceptible to gastric erosions and had higher plasma pepsinogen levels than did control animals. There were also experientially determined changes in pepsinogen level, but neither these nor the differences in emotional reactivity were related to lesion susceptibility. There was an interaction between early experience and differential housing in determining lesion susceptibility; among group-housed animals there were no effects from early experience, but among individually housed animals, handling experienced during the first 3 weeks of life decreased susceptibility to gastric erosions in the lesion-susceptible as well as in the control population. It was concluded that early life experiences can modify a genically determined susceptibility to disease.Previous research (1) has demonstrated the nature of the psychophysiologic chanthat early life experiences are capable ol ges effected by a given type of early experiinfluencing susceptibility to disease in ani-ence-and the nature of the pathogenic mal subjects. The principal factors which stimulation to which the individual is exdetermine whether and how susceptibility posed. Potentially pathogenic stimuli do to disease will be influenced are the nature not act in a vacuum; they are superimof the early experience-more specifically, posed upon a psychophysiologic state which is characteristic of the individual
