“…Regarding the demographic characteristics of the participating teachers, there is a high prevalence of moderate to moderately severe and severe depression among females, which correlates with the finding in the Saudi National Mental Health Survey that stated that depression is more common among females [15]. There is a relationship between a history of physical or psychological trauma or abuse at work and depression; such findings are in the line with the Korean study by Oh and Kim (2015) [22]. Chronic disease and smoking are well-known risk factors for depression [19,21], but there was no relationship between them and depression in the present study.…”

“…Many risk factors have been linked to depression, and chronic illness has been shown to aggravate depressive symptoms [18], as well as smoking and medication used such as analgesic, corticosteroid, and calcium channel blocker [19,20]. A major life event that is stressful, such as a family member's death or a loved one or the loss of a job, has also been closely linked to the beginning of depressive symptoms [21], and being subjected to verbal abuse at work is strongly linked to job stress [22]. The aim of this study is to measure the prevalence and severity of depression among government primary school teachers in Dammam, Khobar, and Qatif and also to study the association between the sociodemographic and the occupational characteristics with the prevalence of depression.…”

Introduction: In Saudi Arabia, 34% of Saudis have been diagnosed with a mental health illness at some point in their lives, with depression making up to 6% of the population. Teachers' mental health is a major problem across the world and has an impact on their students. This study is an attempt to investigate the prevalence of depression and its severity and associated sociodemographic and occupational risk factors among government primary school teachers in Dammam, Khobar, and Qatif.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. The research tool used to conduct this study is an electronically administered Arabic-language questionnaire distributed randomly to all government primary school teachers in Dammam, Khobar, and Qatif. The numbers of participating teachers are 358,242 males and 116 females.Results: By using the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ9) scale, it was found that 36.6% suffer from mild depression, 30.4% suffer from moderate to moderately severe depression, and 11.2% suffer from severe depression. The obtained results indicated that there is an association between the variable of the prevalence of depression and some sociodemographic factors such as physical or psychosocial abuse, and the occupational characteristic variables such as teaching more than three or more subjects and bad relationship with the school administration.Conclusion: More studies are needed to address the mental health issues among school teachers in Saudi Arabia.

“…Similar to the results of previous studies, a high correlation was found between age, work experience, and workplace violence experience. For example, a study by Oh and Kim [23] found that younger nurses experience more verbal abuse from customers. Other studies of other nurses also showed that nurses with shorter work experience had a higher degree of workplace violence than those with longer work experience [24,25].…”

Objective: To investigate the physical therapists' actual experience of workplace violence and examine its relationship with depression, burnout, subjective health status, and job and life satisfaction. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: The level of workplace violence was assessed using the Korean Workplace Violence Scale composed of 24 questions in the following 4 subscales of workplace violence. Depression was assessed using the Korean version of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Burnout was assessed using the Korean version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey, which is a 5-item scale. Subjective health status was measured on a 5-point scale. Job and life satisfaction was measured based on the assessment tool used in the World Values Survey. Results: There was a significant correlation between the three subscales of workplace violence and health indicators, including depression, subjective health status, job and life satisfaction (p<0.05). The organizational protective system subscale showed a significant negative correlation with depression and a positive correlation with subjective health status as well as job and life satisfaction (p<0.05). The area of 'psychological and sexual violence from customers' showed a significant moderate correlation with depression and job satisfaction (p<0.05). Also, there was a negative correlation that was significant between depression and subjective health status, job satisfaction, and life satisfaction (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study suggested that future studies should continue to investigate and reveal the causal relationships between workplace violence and physical therapists' health indicators.

Purpose: It is expected that there will be a difference in job stress between special unit (operating room, anesthesia room) nurses and general ward nurses in general hospitals, but factors influencing job stress have not been examined. This study reports on research to examine the sources of verbal abuse in the workplace. Methods: Participants were 243 nurses (special unit 112, general ward 132) working in a hospital in I city. Data collection period was March 18 to March 25, 2016 and questionnaires were used to collect data. Comparison of differences in influence of verbal abuse on job stress between special unit and general ward nurses was analyzed with multiple hierarchical regression. Results: In special unit nurses, verbal abuse from doctors and/or nurses influenced their job stress (Adj. R 2 =.545). In general ward nurses, verbal abuse from patients and/or care-givers influenced their job stress (Adj. R 2 =.241). Conclusion: Findings indicate a need to campaign for increase respect among nurse-doctor, nurse-nurse, and nurse-patients/care givers because verbal abuse from doctors, nurses, and patients/care-givers causes negative attitudes in nurses. General ward nurses in particular should provide sufficient explanation to patients about nursing services because verbal abuse from patients/care-givers is related to their complaints about nursing care.
