“…Oenning et al [33] and Romswinkel et al [34] assessed job stress in general and among community-dwelling workers as opposed to employees from a specific industry which is the case for this current study. In a lower-middle-income country like Egypt, a positive correlation between work stress and depression was also reported [35]. Similar to this study, these researchers assessed both depression and occupational stress using self-reports except for Oenning et al [33] who used a diagnostic tool to measure depressive disorder.…”

Background: Depression and insomnia are major psychiatric conditions predicted by occupational stress. However, the influence of occupational stress on these two conditions is under-explored in telecommunication companies, especially in Africa. This research was conducted to assess occupational stress in a Ghanaian telecommunication company and its effect on depression and insomnia. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among employees at a telecommunication company in Accra. Structured self-administered questionnaires were used in collecting data from 235 respondents using simple random sampling. The Chi-square test of independence and Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test were employed to assess the significance of associations with subsequent sensitivity analysis using Multiple logistic, Poisson and Probit regression models. Occupational stress was matched on four variables: age of the workers, marital status, responsibility for dependents and work experience, to improve on the estimation of its impact on symptomatic depression and insomnia using the coarsened exact matching procedure. Results: More males (52.8%) than females participated in this study. The age range for study participants was 20-49 years with a mean of 30.8 ± 6.9 years. The prevalence of excessive occupational stress reported by the employees was 32.8% (95% CI = 26.7-38.8). More than half of respondents (51%) reported depressive symptoms in the past week and only a few (6%) reported being diagnosed with insomnia in the past year. Age, responsibility for dependents and work experience were the only background characteristics that were significantly associated with excessive occupational stress. After controlling for background characteristics, the estimated risk of reporting symptoms of depression among employees who reported excessive stress from work was only 5% higher [ARR; 95% CI = 1.05 (0.94-1.17)] whereas it was 2.58 times the risk of reporting insomnia [ARR; 95% CI = 2.58(0.83-8.00)] compared to those who did not report excessive stress from their jobs. The relative risk reduced to 2.46[ARR; 95% CI = 2.46(0.77-7.87)] and 1.03[ARR; 95% CI = 1.03(0.91-1.17)] for insomnia and depression respectively after employing Poisson regression with CEM.

“…3 Compared with those engaged in other areas of medicine, psychiatric nurses have been reported to perceive higher levels of stress 4 associated with difficulty in communicating with patients, repeated recurrences in many cases, and the necessity of caring for violent or aggressive patients. [5][6][7][8] Importantly, it has been reported that the incidence of patient violence/related problems in psychiatric wards is 2-to 4 -times higher than that in general wards, 9 and nearly 90% of psychiatric nurses experience such violence. [10][11][12][13][14] Based on these findings, clinical psychiatric nurses are likely to deal with violence and offensive statements daily.…”

Background We examined factors influencing psychiatric nurses' job satisfaction levels focusing on their frequency of experiencing negative emotions toward patients and support at their workplaces. Methods An anonymous, self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted involving 1,097 psychiatric nurses working at 13 psychiatric hospitals in the Chugoku area to investigate their basic attributes, workrelated factors, and scores from 3 scales: the Negative Feeling toward Patient Frequency scale, an original support-in-workplace scale, and the new Brief Job Stress Questionnaire (job stress and satisfaction). Correlations between basic attributes/work-related factors and scores from each scale, and the relationships among the study items were analyzed. Furthermore, logistic regression analysis was performed using the job satisfaction level. Results The subjects were the 577 psychiatric nurses who returned valid responses without missing data (response rate: 60.4%, valid responses: 87.0%). The subjects were the 577 psychiatric nurses who returned valid responses without missing data (response rate: 60.4%, valid responses: 87.0%). To clarify the level of influence on the job satisfaction level of each variable, logistic regression analysis was performed adopting the stepwise method for all of the items that were correlated with the job satisfaction level as a dependent variable.

“…The present study showed that restorative yoga helped to alleviate stress and allowed nurses to relax when it was performed regularly for even only 5 minutes per day. Based on the report of Hasan et al and the present results, implementation of programs that teach nurses how to deal with stress at work and improve their coping strategies is recommended . Like other shift workers, nurses working the night shift may find it difficult to implement their usual stress relieving strategies due to lack of time.…”

Objectives To determine whether restorative yoga is an effective method for relieving occupational stress among female nurses working the night shift in Japan. Methods From July 2017 to May 2018, 20 female nurses aged in their 20s to 30s who were working the night shift at a university hospital participated in a randomized crossover trial, consisting of a 1‐hour guided group yoga session followed by 4 weeks of at‐home practice and 4 weeks of usual stress relief methods. The level of stress was assessed by the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare before and after performing restorative yoga. Descriptive statistics were calculated and data were analyzed by Student's t test, one‐way analysis of variance (with repeated measures), or Bonferroni's multiple comparison test. Results Vital signs showed no significant differences from before to after the group yoga session, and there was no change of weight after 4 weeks of at‐home practice. The mean questionnaire score for "psychological and physical stress reactions" was significantly reduced after the group yoga session. In addition, the mean score was significantly lower after 4 weeks of at‐home practice than before or after group yoga, or after 4 weeks of the usual stress relief methods. Conclusions These findings suggest that restorative yoga may be effective for alleviating occupational stress among female nurses working the night shift.
