“…As a significant occupational health problem related to personal physical and mental health as well as work efficiency, occupational stress, also regarded as job strain or work stress, is the status of long-term exposure to occupation-related stressors that affect overall health [ 2 , 3 ]. Long-term occupational stress not only causes mental and psychological problems, such as anxiety, depression, and burnout [ 4 , 5 ], but also increases the risk of coronary heart disease, skeletal muscle disease, and other physical diseases [ 6 , 7 ], which leads to a decrease in job satisfaction [ 8 ], turnover tendency [ 9 ] and sickness absence rate of the occupational population [ 10 ]. Focusing on stressors and taking measures to reduce occupational stress in occupational populations can improve the physical and mental health of employees [ 2 ] but also lead to higher economic benefits in terms of increased productivity through reduced absenteeism [ 11 ].…”

Background Occupational stress and its health effects on occupational populations have attracted extensive attention from researchers in public health. The stressors faced by employees of power grid enterprises are increasing progressively, which is easy to cause occupational stress. The balance of the body’s oxidative-antioxidant levels plays an essential role in maintaining the body’s health status. This study aims to explore occupational stress and its correlation with oxidative-antioxidant levels in employees of a power grid enterprise. Methods A cluster random sampling method was used to investigate the basic information of 528 employees in a power grid enterprise and investigate the two occupational stress models of employees by using the Job Content Questionnaire based on the job demand-control-support (JDC) model, and the Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire based on the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model, respectively. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the employees to measure the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). The correlation between different models of occupational stress level and the body’s oxidation-antioxidation level was further explored. Results The detection rate of high JDC model occupational stress was 50.6% and the detection rate of high ERI model occupational stress was 50.9%. The JDC model occupational stress was significantly associated with high-temperature and high-altitude operation, visual display terminal operation, monthly income, and exercise (all P < 0.05). The ERI model occupational stress was significantly associated with visual display terminal operation (all P < 0.05). The results of the generalized additive model showed that SOD levels had a non-linear relationship with the D/C ratio as well as the E/R ratio. With the D/C ratio close to 1, SOD levels raised rapidly. When the E/R ratio exceeded 1, the SOD level raised rapidly (all P<0.05) . TAC levels were negatively associated with the E/R ratio (P < 0.05). Conclusion The detection rates of occupational stress in both models among employees in a power grid enterprise are higher. ERI model occupational stress was associated with body TAC and SOD levels, and JDC model occupational stress was associated with body SOD levels.

“…Concurrently, the work performed by nursing personnel is mostly considered rewarding and a source of pleasure and wellbeing. However, the lack of appreciation can lead them to go through a stressful factor (23). Consequently, the work performed by professionals under these circumstances can become mechanical since they are unmotivated, harming both the professionals themselves and patients.…”

Objective: To compare the levels of ex-post-facto stress between nursing personnel who participated in an educational intervention with nursing personnel on work duties, within the hospital work environment. Materials and method: This was an observational and cross-sectional study. The final sample was composed of 30 nursing personnel, with 15 of them composing the group exposed to the intervention and 15 being selected by simple random sampling to compose the unexposed group. The intervention consisted of a program focused on the employees, structured in four sessions, applied in a course format twice a week, and lasted two months. The Student’s t-test for independent samples and the Mann-Whitney U-test were used to compare the groups. Results: Using the Mann-Whitney U-test, the stress levels could be compared between the groups, and a statistical difference in stress levels was observed between the control group (3.34 ± 0.71 a.u.) and the intervention group (2.52 ± 0.59 a.u.) (p = 0.002; d = 1.26). Conclusions: Comparing the general stress levels between the groups, it was found that the intervention significantly decreased the stress levels in the participants; it was also possible to identify the mental stressors faced by the participants using the Scale of Stress in Professionals.

“…Destaca-se que o burnout é um problema preocupante entre os profissionais de saúde e vem se tornando mais frequente, devido às demandas excessivas de trabalho que podem causar efeitos negativos nos trabalhadores, relacionados aos aspectos somáticos, psicológicos e organizacionais (40) , provocando esgotamento, desmotivação e sobrecarga no trabalho (41) . Em um estudo realizado na Etiópia entre profissionais de saúde, destacouse que mais da metade desses profissionais foram afetados por estresse ocupacional e burnout, respectivamente (6) .…”

“…Esses riscos se relacionam à fatores que podem contribuir ou mesmo provocar o adoecimento físico e mental dos trabalhadores (2) , e além disso, as condições de trabalho estressantes podem afetar negativamente o trabalhador e a instituição (3,4) . Com relação ao adoecimento mental dos trabalhadores, os elementos políticos, econômicos, sociais, culturais, ambientais e intrapsíquicos do processo de saúde/ doença, dos trabalhadores, podem influenciar no surgimento desse problema (5,6) . A carga de trabalho está associada a estressores laborais e causar agravos significativos em razão de condições precárias de organização do trabalho, que vão desde a baixa valorização e remuneração, descompasso entre tarefas prescritas e realizadas, até a escassez severa de recursos e problemas de infraestrutura (7) .…”
