“…Evidence suggests that the HSE indicator is correlated with mental wellbeing as measured with the GHQ-12 (Guidi et al 2012) and with general (Kerr et al 2009) and job-related (Main et al 2005) anxiety and depression. The HSE standards are also a set of national standards which act as a baseline against which measurements can be assessed (Cousins et al 2004). The tool consists of 35 items across seven categories:…”

“…The Health and Safety Executive (HSE, 2004) have developed and empirically tested a management standards indicator tool underpinned by the JDCS and Effort Reward Imbalance (Siegrist, 1996) model of work stress (Mark & Smith, 2008) within the U.K. context. The risk factors identified by the HSE (2004) and Cousins et al (2004) were confirmed as demands, control, support, relationships, role, and organizational change. Each of these risk factors has long been associated with a host of physical and psychological problems (Mark & Smith, 2008).…”

“…In the study reported here, "indiscipline" continues to present secondary teachers with challenges and was identified as the groups' main stressor on a daily basis. In relation to "job demands" (Cousins et al, 2004), the main work stressors for the group were associated with workload (e.g., "too little time") and the teaching-learning interface (e.g., "indiscipline"). Workload was identified as making the greatest contribution to levels of strain.…”

A sample of 399 secondary school teachers (156 males, 243 females, 18 schools) responded to a survey questionnaire containing one measure of stress and two measures of strain. The Stressors in Teaching Scale (SITS), developed specifically to place work stress within the Scottish "teaching" context (Mulholland, 2005), gauged work stress. The General Health Questionnaire-30 (GHQ-30;Goldberg, 1972) and Glasgow Symptom Checklist (GSC; Mahmood, 1999) presented a unique opportunity to compare teachers' perception of strain with a "general" and "clinical" population. Positive correlations were observed between work stress and strain. Perceptions of work stress and strain differed significantly according to teaching role. Quantitative job demands (e.g., "workload") was the main predictor of strain, and middle managers, who held leadership and classroom teaching responsibilities, reported this feature of work and "changing demands" specifically, as significantly more stressful than senior managers. Middle managers' experiences of work were reflective of a "pile-up" of stressors, indicative of quantitative and qualitative overload. Crucially, 22% of middle managers recorded strain scores (GHQ-30 case) indicative of psychiatric morbidity, and approximately 67% had experienced feelings of "personal ineffectiveness" and "depression" (GSC), normally associated with a "clinical" population. The unique interaction of "stressors" associated with teacher role, job demands, and job resources highlighted a range of risk factors (e.g., "workload," "teaching-learning interface," "professional ethos," "change," and "role") that have the potential to affect health in the long term.

“…To measure occupational stress, we utilized the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) stress questionnaire that is designed under the supervision of the UK Department for Work Safety (Cousins et al, 2004). This questionnaire is a valid and reliable questionnaire for studying job stress that has been already standardized among Iranian population with a Cronbach's Alpha ranging from 65 to 75% (Marzabady and Fesharaki, 2011).…”

Background: Shifting the focus of parent management training (PMT) to parents and discussing implications for maximizing the outcomes of PMT for the entire family is new and promising.Objective: We aimed to examine the efficacy of work place PMT on job and marital satisfaction among staff members of an academic center. Methods:We held 8 PMT sessions (1.5 h each) for 20 staff members who were parents to children in the age range of 2-12 years. Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) and Occupational Descriptive Index [Health and Safety Executive (HSE)] were used for baseline and post-intervention data gathering. DAS higher scores indicate higher marital adjustment satisfaction and higher HSE scores indicate higher occupational stress. To analyze changes in HSE and DAS scores over time, paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were used, respectively.results: All DAS subscales show significant increased from baseline to the final session except for affectional expression which was not significant. We found no significant changes in total or subscale HSE scores among participants.conclusion: Findings of this study underscore the role of psycho-education usage in work environment and provide evidence about the importance of designing interventions concerning working parents. Implications of PMT are discussed in the text.
