“…Although a study of South Korean women revealed intense psychosomatic stress and job stress associated with having multiple roles (Kim et al, 2005), there is a desirable, social change in Iran taking place with regard to women's employment. Iranian women now have increased access to the full range of higher education opportunities and the full range of employment opportunities, leading to a reduction in gender inequality (Iranian Centre for Studies and Researches on Women, 2005).…”

The authors aimed to understand the social bridges and social barriers to women's health in Iran. We used a qualitative content analysis method and interviewed 22 women. The participants identified appropriate employment, physical exercise, and cultural and educational development as social bridges to women's health. Social barriers to women's health included gender inequalities, burden of responsibility, and financial difficulties. Based on the results of this study, we suggest an interdisciplinary approach to plan social-based health programs in order to improve women's health outcomes in the developing countries such as Iran.

“…Investigators of the relationship between professional and family stress and the status of women's health in South Korea found a positive correlation between social support and health status, whereas they observed an inverse association between professional and family stress and state of health (Kim, Won, Chung, Lucy, & Kim, 2005).…”

“…Chronic work stress, daily fluctuations in job demands, and work‐to‐family conflicts have been found to predict individuals’ negative moods, psychological symptoms, and health complaints (Bolger, DeLongis, Kessler, & Wethington, 1989; Jones & Fletcher, 1996; Windle & Dumenci, 1997). Similar harmful effects of work‐related stress on individuals’ well‐being have been identified in studies conducted worldwide (cf., Etzion & Westman, 2001; Kim, Cho, Lee, Marion, & Kim, 2005) and in cross‐national research (Spector et al, 2004), suggesting that the effect of work stressors on psychological well‐being and physical health is universal (Poelmans et al, 2003).…”

We examined the association between workrelated stress of both spouses and daily fluctuations in their affective states and dyadic closeness. Daily diary data from 169 Israeli dual-earner couples were analyzed using multilevel modeling. The findings indicate that work stress has no direct effect on dyadic closeness but rather is mediated by the spouses' negative mood. Evidence was found for spillover of stress from work to mood at home, as well as negative crossover among couples with higher marital quality, resulting in greater distance on stressful days. Such increased distance may reflect either a deleterious effect of work stress on marital relationships or a protective mechanism used by couples in times of stress.

Individuals in recent decades have experienced increasing stress in their personal and work lives, because people have multiple roles in a society that has become more complex. Women in Sri Lanka were not part of the regu]ar workforce because of Sri Lankan culture, which viewed the role of women as being limited to household matters. However, after introducing open economy in 1977, more women sought employment in various fields including garments factories. Consequently, as working women, they become more vulnerable to stress in both the work place and home. This research is an attempt to find out the potent work related and non-work related stressors that are prevalent among operational level female workers in garment factories of Sri Lanka's Free Trade Zones and the study analyses individual differences such as civil status, educational level and age of the workers as moderators in the job stress process. This study empirically investigated nine independent variables, which could influence on the job stress of the operational level female workers in garment factories in free trade zones. These independent variables were the design of the job, work roles, interpersonat relationships, management styles, career concerns and environmental conditions as work related factors and homework interface, fulfillment of physical needs and living conditions as non-work related stress factors. The moderating variables were civil status, educational level and age of the workers. V The study was conducted using a sample of 450 operational level female workers in the garment factories in Free Trade...
