“…After a complete review of the full articles, 87 studies were excluded because they: (i) did not measure the psychosocial work factors of the DCS and/or ERI models (N=39) (39-77), (ii) did not individually assess exposure to psychosocial factors (N=3) (78)(79)(80), (iii) comprised a population of high school students (not a working population) (N=1) (81), (iv) included <100 participants (N=13) (82)(83)(84)(85)(86)(87)(88)(89)(90)(91)(92)(93); (v) were not written in English or French (N=4) (94)(95)(96)(97), (vi) were not published in a peer-reviewed publication (N=16) (11,(98)(99)(100)(101)(102)(103)(104)(105)(106)(107)(108)(109)(110)(111)(112), (vii) did not measure BP (N=8) (70,(113)(114)(115)(116)(117)(118)(119), or (viii) did not distinctly evaluate exposure to psychosocial work factors (N=3) (120)…”

This is the first systematic review and critical synthesis on the adverse effects of psychosocial work factors of the demand-control-support and effort-reward imbalance models on blood pressure. A more consistent effect has been observed among men than women and among studies of higher methodological quality. Evidence-based guidelines for cardiovascular diseases prevention may benefit from these findings.Affiliation: Population health research unit, St-Sacrement hospital,

Background: Driving buses exposes the drivers to many stressors that can increase their cardiovascular risk factors. Aims: The objective of this study was to measure the prevalence of workplace stress and its association with cardiovascular risk factors among bus drivers in Egypt. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 234 bus drivers in Cairo, Egypt. Data were collected over a period of 6 months from August 2016 to January 2017. For all drivers, blood pressure, body weight and height and random blood sugar were measured. Professional driving duration/age ratio was calculated. Comparison between cardiovascular risk factors and workplace stress score was made. Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using logistic regression models. Results: A high prevalence of workplace stress (83.3%) was observed among bus drivers. Moreover, a high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, particularly tobacco smoking (65.0%), physical inactivity (93.6%) and hypertension (33.3%), was noted. After adjustment for age and other confounding factors, the risk factors associated with workplace stress were overweight/obesity and hypertension. Conclusions: There is a positive association between workplace stress and some cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension and overweight/obesity, among bus drivers in Egypt.

“…Stress is a known risk factor for poor health [7,8],. Several diseases and symptoms have a known association with stress, for example depression [8], other mental health problems [9], shoulder and neck pain [10] other musculoskeletal disorders [11], and cardiovascular disease [8,12]. Studies also suggest associations between stress and upper respiratory tract infections, asthma, herpes viral infections, autoimmune diseases, wound healing and impaired neuropsychological function [8,13,14].…”

Does early identification of high work related stress affect pharmacological treatment of primary care patients? - analysis of Swedish pharmacy dispensing data in a randomised control study

Background: The study is part of a randomised controlled trial with the overall aim to evaluate if use of the Work Stress Questionnaire (WSQ), combined with feedback at consultation, can be used by healthcare professionals in primary health care to prevent sickness absence. The specific aim of the present study was to investigate whether there were differences in pharmacy dispensing of prescription medications between the intervention group and the control group. Methods: The study was a randomized controlled trial. Non-sick-listed employed women and men, aged 18 to 64 years, seeking care at primary health care centres (PHCCs) were eligible participants. The intervention included early identification of work-related stress by the WSQ, general practitioner (GP) training and GP feedback at consultation. Pharmacy dispensing data from the Swedish Prescription Drug Register for a period of 12 months following the intervention was used. Primary outcomes were the number of different medications used, type of medication and number of prescribing clinics. Data was analysed using Mann Whitney U tests and chi-square tests. Results: The study population included 271 individuals (132 in the intervention group and 139 in the control group). The number of different medications used per individual did not differ significantly between the control group (median 4.0) and the intervention group (median 4.0, p-value 0.076). The proportion of individuals who collected more than 10 different medications was higher in the control group than in the intervention group (15.8% versus 4.5%, p = 0.002). In addition, the proportion of individuals filling prescriptions issued from more than three different clinics was higher in the control group than in the intervention group (17.3% versus 6.8%, p = 0.007).
