“…Further, adrenal cortex (outer part) is stimulated by ACTH to release corticoids (glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids). The main function of glucocorticoids is to release energy by conversion of glycogen into glucose and breakdown of fats into fatty acids and glycerol, which is needed to combat the negative consequences of a stressor [41,[43][44][45]. In addition, corticoids which inhibit the immune system, reduce hunger, aggravate gastrointestinal irritation, and associated feeling of depression and loss of control in stress conditions.…”

Rapid globalization and technological advances have transformed the way of working. Occupational stress is psychological and physical condition that has potential to worsen a person’s health in any workplace. Stress related productivity impairment were common in mining industries. Lack of skills, organizational issues, and a social support at workplace can all cause workers to experience stress. Therefore, hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and sympathetic nervous system are activated as part of the body’s physiological reaction. Hence chronic stress were linked to digestive, cardiovascular, atherosclerosis, and neurological issues. Numerous studies reported, several biochemical and pathophysiological factors were responsible for occupational, environmental, and workplace depression. This review chapter were included studied from PubMed, Google, book chapters, case reports, and other electronic databases, etc. Total (n = 104) articles were selected related to occupational stress and its impact on biochemical and pathophysiological were experienced in them. Workers who experienced occupational stress underwent pathophysiological changes that leads to changes in the stress hormones, sensitive stress protein and other significant variables. Finally, cortisol, stress hormones, PTH, HO-1, cytokines used as a panel of marker for stressful conditions evaluation in occupational settings. These findings, advice interventions that will be reduce, or eradicate some of these stressors in occupational settings.

Introduction Pre-hospital care personnel, including paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs), are crucial frontline responders in emergency medical situations. They are critical in delivering timely medical assistance to individuals in emergencies. However, the demanding nature of their work can subject them to significant job stress, which may adversely affect their well-being and job performance. Objectives This study aimed to assess the levels of job stress and explore associated factors among pre-hospital care providers in Addis Ababa. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted at a healthcare facility, involving 134 ambulance healthcare providers. Participants were selected through a simple random sampling technique. Data collection employed pretested, self-administered questionnaires utilizing a nursing stress scale. Descriptive statistics were utilized to summarize the findings. Logistic regression analysis was employed to ascertain associations between variables while controlling for potential confounders. The strength of the association between dependent and independent variables was evaluated using odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval. Result Of the 134 study participants, 47% (95% CI: 38.2, 55.8) of them had job stress. Notably, several factors were significantly associated with job stress among pre-hospital healthcare providers working in ambulances. Conflict with leaders (AOR = 5.07; 95% CI: 2.98, 12.53), fear of mistakes (AOR = 8.22; 95% CI: 1.86, 36.34), lack of resources (AOR = 11.06; 95% CI: 5.19, 22.41), overloaded with ambulance care (AOR = 18.94; 95% CI: 4.33, 38.73) and inadequate information from dispatchers (AOR = 7.35; 95% CI: 3.32, 16.62) were identified as significant associated factors of job stress among these providers. These findings highlight the critical need to address leadership conflicts, fear of errors, and communication deficiencies to mitigate job stress among pre-hospital healthcare providers working in ambulances. Conclusion This study highlights the prevalence of job stress among pre-hospital healthcare providers working in ambulances, and found it as a significant problem. Notably, conflict with leaders, fear of mistakes, lack of resources, work overload and inadequate information from dispatchers emerged as significant associated factors contributing to job stress among pre-hospital health care providers. Efforts to foster better communication channels between providers and dispatchers, promote supportive leadership practices, and implement error-reduction strategies are essential. By addressing these challenges, healthcare organizations can create a more conducive work environment that supports the mental and emotional health of pre-hospital healthcare providers.
