Effects of occupational stress on the physical and psychological health of women in a microelectronics plant

Work, personality and mental health

“…There is now consistent evidence from a number of cross-sectional (Broadbent, 1985; Estryn-Behar et al , 1990; Bromet et al , 1992) and longitudinal studies (Kawakami et al , 1992; Parkes et al , 1994; Stansfeld et al , 1997, 1999; Niedhammer et al , 1998; Mino et al , 1999) that high levels of psychological demands, including high work pace and high conflicting demands, are predictive of poor mental health. Increasing job demands measured on two occasions has also been related to increased risk of psychological distress compared with when job demands decreased or stayed the same over two occasions (Stansfeld et al , 1999).…”

“…Increasing job demands measured on two occasions has also been related to increased risk of psychological distress compared with when job demands decreased or stayed the same over two occasions (Stansfeld et al , 1999). By contrast, high levels of social support at work from colleagues and supervisors are protective of mental health in both cross-sectional (Bromet et al , 1992; Weinberg & Creed, 2000) and longitudinal studies (Kawakami et al , 1992; Parkes et al , 1994; Niedhammer et al , 1998; Stansfeld et al , 1999).…”

Blue-collar work and women's health: A systematic review of the evidence from 1990 to 2015

“…We additionally excluded studies that included blue-collar women in the overall study population but failed to specify results or an exposure unique to blue-collar women. Lastly, we excluded those studies for which we were unable to discern whether blue-collar women were grouped with office and clerical workers in their analyses ( Brown et al, 2017 , Bromet et al, 1992 ).…”

Psychosocial work environment and mental health—a meta-analytic review

“…Conversely, "active jobs" can be intensely demanding; yet the workers have sufficient control over their activities and the freedom to use available skills-this type of job is associated with only average psychological strain and active leisure time (3). "Low-strain jobs", with few psychological demands and high levels of control, are predicted to have lower than average levels of psychological strain There is evidence from both cross-sectional (7)(8)(9) and longitudinal studies (10) that high levels of psychological demands, including fast work pace and high conflicting demands, are predictive of common mental disorders that is, largely, mild-to-moderate, depressive and anxiety disorders, frequent in the general population and identified by screening questionnaires and standardized psychiatric interviews. On the other hand, high levels of social support at work from colleagues and supervisors have been found to be protective of mental health in both cross-sectional (9) and longitudinal studies (10).…”
