“…Their study also found that job control did not have a significant impact on stress. Whereas, Vanagas and Bihari-Axelsson [ 56 ] found that high job demand combined with low decision latitude have the greatest impact on stress among 300 Lithuanian General Practitioners.…”

“…They were also expected to run their consultations online without physical examination, and were not sufficiently equipped to contact patients when needed [ 2 ]. In the last decades, general practitioners’ physical and mental health has come into focus [ 3 , 4 ]. Besides extreme workload, moral implications for ‘good doctoring’ increased their work-related stress.…”

Background Responsibility of general practitioners (GPs) in delivering safe and effective care is always high but during the COVID-19 pandemic they face even growing pressure that might result in unbearable stress load (allostatic overload, AO) leading to disease. Objectives We aimed to measure AO of Hungarian GPs during the COVID-19 pandemic and explore their recreational resources to identify potential protective factors against stress load. Methods In a mixed-method design, Fava’s clinimetric approach to AO was applied alongside the Psychosocial Index (PSI); Kellner’s symptom questionnaire (SQ) to measure depression, anxiety, hostility and somatisation and the Public Health Surveillance Well-being Scale (PHS-WB) to determine mental, social, and physical well-being. Recreational resources were mapped. Besides Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests, regression analysis was applied to identify explanatory variables of AO. Results Data of 228 GPs (68% females) were analysed. Work-related changes caused the biggest challenges leading to AO in 60% of the sample. While female sex (OR: 1.99; CI: 1.06; 3.74, p = 0.032) and other life stresses (OR: 1.4; CI: 1.2; 1.6, p < 0.001) associated with increased odds of AO, each additional day with 30 min for recreation purposes associated with 20% decreased odds (OR: 0.838; CI: 0.72; 0.97, p = 0.020). 3–4 days a week when time was ensured for recreation associated with elevated mental and physical well-being, while 5–7 days associated with lower depressive and anxiety symptoms, somatisation, and hostility. Conclusion Under changing circumstances, resilience improvement through increasing time spent on recreation should be emphasised to prevent GPs from the adverse health consequences of stress load.

“…Many studies have explored the relationship between them, such as Wallgren and Hanse, who surveyed 167 information technology consultants in Sweden and found that job demand is positively related to perceived stress [20]. Vanagas and Bihari Axelsson found that high job demand associated with low job decision latitude have the greatest impact on stress among 300 Lithuanian General Practitioners [21]. Bin Nordin Rusli pointed out that high social support reduces self-perceived stress [22].…”

Background The present study aims to identify the association between psychosocial working conditions, global stress perception, and needle-stick injury among Chinese healthcare workers. It also endeavors to detect the mediating effects of global stress perception. Methods A total of 1956 valid samples were collected from eight teaching hospitals in Shanghai, China. A self-reported questionnaire was administered to participants after obtaining their written consent. Structural equation model was used to analyze the relationship between study variables. Results Most of the correlation coefficients between psychosocial conditions at work, stress perception, and needle-stick injury are of statistical significance ranging from 0.004 to 0.869. Results of the internal consistency test shows that Cronbach’s α is between 0.770 and 0.925. All three models for effect analysis demonstrated satisfactory global goodness and acceptable path loadings. Psychosocial working conditions and stress perception were directly associated with events of needle-stick injury, as 0.39 (95%CI: 0.32 to 0.48) and 0.32 (95%CI: 0.22 to 0.39), respectively. Furthermore, stress perception had been proved to have a mediating effect (0.25, 95%CI: 0.19 to 0.31) between psychosocial working condition and needle-stick injury, which occupied over one-third of the total effect. Conclusions Both stressful psychosocial working conditions and negative stress perception could increase the risk of needle-stick injury that occurs among healthcare workers. Management of stress perception could reduce health risk brought by stressful psychosocial working conditions.
