“…The results obtained, however, differ from those obtained by other authors. Analyses conducted by Shen et al demonstrated that nurses who were widows or divorcees experienced much higher stress levels than married nurses [47]. Other studies indicate a link between the level of professional stress and having children [48].…”

Introduction. In the opinion of many researchers, nursing staff are exposed to an exceptionally high level of occupational stress. The problem of stress in the working environment of the nursing staff becomes more and more important in the context of increasing staff shortages and insufficient support from colleagues and employers. The aim of this study was to analyse stress factors indicated by the nursing staff in Poland and Lithuania, and to assess their job satisfaction. Materials and method. Two standard research tools were used in the study: the Nursing Stress Scale and the Job Satisfaction Survey. The study involved 230 respondents from Poland and Lithuania. The sample was chosen randomly and incidentally. Results. Based on the analysis of collected materials, the greatest stress factors in the work of the nursing staff were identified, which included interpersonal conflicts between nurses and doctors and between nurses, and death and dying. The study indicated that there is a relationship between stress and job satisfaction among Polish nurses (r=-0.33;p=0.001) and Lithuanian nurses (r=0.34; p=0.001). The greater the stress, the lower the job satisfaction. Low job satisfaction was connected with low remuneration, which is still inadequate to professional duties, and the lack of promotion opportunities. The study confirmed that there were significant differences in job satisfaction among Polish and Lithuanian nurses (Z= -6.27; p<0.001). Conclusions. The study confirmed a high level of stress and dissatisfaction among nursing staff in Poland and Lithuania.

“…Because of a skewed distribution, the two domains were divided into quartiles using the lowest quartile to indicate poor health-related quality of life. A similar approach has been previously used by a study based on SF-12 14) . The magnitude of the statistical association between explanatory variables and poor quality of life was measured by the odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals, obtained by multiple logistic regression.…”

“…A low level of control and high psychological demand (job strain) were associated with a poor HRQL in the mental and physical domains in workers on a production line in Malaysia 13) . A poor general and mental health score was also associated with reduced control and high psychological demand, and with decreased social support at work among nurses at a psychiatric hospital in Taiwan 14) . Statistically significant associations between adverse psychosocial working conditions and poor quality of life were also found among cleaning workers in Las Vegas.…”

Adverse Psychosocial Working Conditions and Poor Quality of Life among Financial Service Employees in Brazil: Luiz Sergio SILVA, et al. School of Medicine, Preventive Medicine, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil— Objectives Workers in the financial services sector are exposed to great stress at work. This study investigates whether exposure to adverse psychosocial work conditions is independently associated with poor health‐related physical and mental quality of life among financial services workers. Methods We studied a nationwide representative sample of 2,054 workers of a large Brazilian state bank in 2008. Adverse psychosocial work conditions were investigated by the Effort‐reward imbalance (ERI) scale and the Job content questionnaire (JCQ). Health‐related quality of life (HRQL) was assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study Short‐Form General Health Survey (SF‐12). Poor mental and physical HRQL was defined by the lowest quartiles of the SF‐12 final score distributions. Associations were investigated using multiple logistic regression analysis. Results In the multivariate analysis, exposures to low control and lack of social support at work (JCQ) were associated with poor HRQL in the physical domain. Increasing effort‐reward imbalance and overcommitment (ERI), on the other hand, were associated with poor HRQL in the mental domain, with a significant statistical trend. Overcommitment was also associated with poor physical HRQL. Conclusion The results suggest that exposure to adverse psychosocial work conditions has a negative impact on both domains of HRQL among financial service workers. They also indicate that ERI and DC models capture different aspects of job strain.

“…They are faced with a series of special stressful factors such as infectious diseases, harmful chemicals and rays, disproportion between the numbers of patients and numbers of nurses, employment in non-fixed shifts, and dealing with the death of patients. In this regard, it is believed that many stressful factors in this profession will cause physical and psychological disorders (6).…”
