Determination of oxidative and occupational stress in palliative care workers

Abstract

Our findings suggest that oxidative stress, occupational stress and occupational burnout levels are similar in men and women. Occupational stress increases oxidative stress levels probably as a response to increased generation of reactive oxygen species. Working during the evening and night shifts increases oxidative levels and burnout levels.

Assessment of Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Status Among Petrol Stations’ Workers Exposed to Benzene in Zagazig City

“…But results is in contrast with another studies which showed that MDA concentrations increased with age (31) , and SOD level decreased with age 32 . Tobacco smoke is a rich source of oxidants.…”

Association of oxidative stress and inflammatory markers with chronic stress in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes

“…In human studies, significantly increased oxidative stress and decreased plasma antioxidants have been observed in university students after exposure to acute stress . Similarly, a study on palliative care workers who were exposed to occupational stress has reported significantly high MDA levels and SOD activity . None of these studies evaluated stress and oxidative stress in the context of diabetes risk.…”

Tea polyphenols ameliorate hydrogen peroxide- and constant darkness-triggered oxidative stress via modulating the Keap1/Nrf2 transcriptional signaling pathway in HepG2 cells and mice liver

“…7 Mounting evidence suggests that oxidative stress indices increase signicantly aer continuous shi work. [8][9][10][11][12] Disruptions of the normal light/dark cycle in wild-type mice can simulate disruption due to shi work in humans. 13 Intervention in oxidative status in the liver can reduce the risk of many liver diseases such as chronic hepatitis, cholestasis, and alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.…”
