“…This study aims to establish a model of projects as a source of stress at work through a systematic literature review and a thematic analysis using the established Cooper and Marshall (1976) workplace stress model. The Cooper and Marshall (1976) model of stress at work has been adopted as a form of analysis by many empirical studies (Lai et al , 2015; Irimie et al , 2015; Cusack, 1982; Botts, 1986; Wilson, 1988; Yu, 1996; Allison, 1995). Beyond project management other studies have also used the systematic review method when applying the Cooper and Marshall (1976) model of stress at work to their particular domain.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the relationship between project work and stress. It examines how the conditions of project work negatively impact on an individual’s mental and physical state of well-being, consequentially reducing organisational performance. Design/methodology/approach The authors systematically review the project management literature for sources of stress or stressors as it relates to Cooper and Marshall’s (1976) model of stress at work. The authors perform a thematic analysis on these stressors to reveal the “sub-stressor” conditions of project work. Findings A “model of projects as a source of stress at work” is developed. It shows the relationship between the sub-stressors of project work and the ill effects they have on mental and physical well-being of the project workforce. Research limitations/implications The findings of this study are constrained by the limits of a literature review process. This study has implications for research on stress in project work, as studies can benefit from the “model of projects as a source of stress at work”, which can be continually advanced to gain insights on the minimisation of physical and mental distress. Practical implications Many sectors including health, education, policing, aviation and military provide scenario-based training. In project management, a greater understanding of stressful scenarios and counter measures would improve health outcomes for project staff, human relations and project outcomes. Originality/value The study presents a comprehensive model of projects as a source of stress at work. It draws attention to the burden and cost of anxiety and stress placed on the project workforce. It makes the case for organisations and employees to take responsibility for the well-being of project staff.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory systemic disorder that associates many cardiovascular comorbidities. The association between psoriasis and cardiovascular disease is a complex one, which implies many risk factors, such as age, gender, heredity, smoking, alcohol and stress. The prognosis of patients with psoriasis may be improved by identifying and reduction of these cardiovascular risk factors. The objective of our study was to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors among patients with psoriasis from Bucharest and Ilfov county, Romania. 634 individuals from the general population were initially included. From these individuals, 208 patients with psoriasis have been selected for inclusion in our observational study. The patients were selected from Elias Emergency Hospital of Bucharest, Romania, and through the family doctors praxis, between 2010-2017. Of the 634 individuals from the general population, 208 patients (33%) were identified as patients with a diagnosis of vulgar psoriasis, confirmed by the dermatologist, forming the study group. The presence of risk factors is consistent with the presence of cardiovascular disease (23%) in the studied group. Patients with psoriasis, without cardiovascular diseases, have an increased risk of developing them throughout their lives. Patients with psoriasis have a very high risk of developing life-long cardiovascular disease, because of a multitude of risk factors associated with psoriasis. Intervention on modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease can be mediated by a family doctor, who can monitor the development over time and may also intervene early when appropriate.
