“…We found that stress, which is the main risk factor faced by the call center employees, increases the prevalence of some negative health effects such as menstrual problems, which is consistent with the literature. According to literature, stress may increase corticorpin hormone of women and this can entail menstrual irregularity (5). It is proved that increased levels of stress in call centers may increase the level of corticorpin hormone and cause menstural irregularity in our study group.…”

“… Non-ergonomic working conditions, sitting for long hours while working, repetitive motions, and work stress can cause musculoskeletal complaints (4).  An inactive life style during work time can also result in weight problems (5).  In terms of health and safety, women workers are defined as a fragile group who need more care.…”

“…Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are supposed to be caused by long hours of sitting with less motion during working time (11). The risk of musculoskeletal disorders is 12 times higher among long-time sitting office workers than other employees (5). Also, physiological factors affect the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (10).…”

Article Info Background: This study aims to evaluate the negative health impacts of exposure to electromagnetic field and to prepare a risk map of two selected call centers. Materials and Methods: Two call centers whose electromagnetic field values were measured by calibrated low high and point frequency measurement device. The measurements were performed by following the EN 50492 Standards. 178 employees from the first location and 153 employees from the second location responded to the questionnaire. The results of the measurements and questionnaires were evaluated by using version 23 of the IBM SPSS and version 17 of Modeler. Results: The measured values for the electromagnetic field were between 371 and 32 V/m. In the 95% confidence interval, the p value for the relationship between electromagnetic field exposure and health complaints was found to be 0,089. It has been found that exposure to electromagnetic fields negatively affects health and causes complaints such as headaches, abdominal pains, eye problems, musculoskeletal problems, and indirectly affects the psychology of employees. Conclusion: The measured values and the responses to the questionnairre were found to be in line with other similar studies in the literature. Based on the results of this survey, a general risk map of the workplace in terms of health and safety was prepared. Some suggestions for dealing with the health problems associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields are provided. This study may be expanded by adding other ambient measurements such as noise, air quality, and be including more call centers.

The subjects were asked to choose their answer from each of the 40 items of the IMPS from one of: "yes", "rather yes", "rather no" and "no".…”

BACKGROUND Several studies have shown contradictory results as some of the studies reported the association between stress score and menstrual function-related abnormalities while some have failed to show any relationship between stress score and menstrual function-related abnormalities. Hence, this study was conducted with an aim to see whether there is any relationship between psychosocial stress as measured by Inventory to Measure Psychosocial Stress (IMPS) and menstrual function-related abnormalities among the female undergraduate medical students. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted on 81 female undergraduate students of a Medical college. A questionnaire along with the IMPS was provided to the students. The questionnaire dealt with anthropometric data, menstrual history and menstrual health status. RESULTS Fifty-three percent (53%) of students have stress score ranging from 20-39 while 47% have stress score 10-19. A majority of students (80%) reported premenstrual symptoms. The proportion of students who reported irregular menstrual cycles and heavy menstrual flow were 67% and 62% respectively. Most of the students (80%) also reported menstrual pain. The students who have premenstrual symptoms have significantly higher stress score than those who do not (p<0.001). Those students who reported menstrual pain (p<0.001) and irregular menstrual cycle (p<0.001) also have significantly higher stress score than those who do not. Logistic regression showed that stress was the significant predictor of premenstrual symptoms (p=0.001) and menstrual pain (p=0.001). Both stress score (p=001) and body mass index (p=0.01) were found to be predictors for experiencing irregular menstrual cycle. CONCLUSION Our study showed that students who reported menstrual-related abnormalities had higher stress score than those who did not. Also stress score is an independent predictor of menstrual-related abnormalities.
