“…Men have better response to stress and coping than women and Baruch reported women are more prone to stressors than men (Baruch et al, 2003). Women experience higher levels of occupational stress than men (Shukla & Srivastava, 2016;Nam et al, 2018;Hipp et al, 2015). Women have 40% higher stress than men (American Psychological Association (APA), 2010).…”

The concept of stress has been a long and lingering topic of research for ages. Stress in nurses in particular is no exception. Occupational stress is the threats of a job that workers face in the line of duty. However, one cannot separate the stress that already exists in their individual lives from those they face in line of duty. It is, therefore, undoubtedly possible that the level of occupational stress recorded may not be solely occupational problems. This paper seeks to find out the level of stress in nurses of TTH and whether individual differences affect the stress levels of nurses taking gender, age and marital status into consideration. The study used the Wieman Occupational stress scale to measure stress level; t-test, One-Way and Three-Way ANOVA were used to determine the relationship between individual differences and levels of stress. Per the study, TTH records a mean score of 43.47 and an individual average score of 2.88 thus, 29% above normal stress level (baseline score: 33.75, 2.25 WOSS) indicating a generally high stress level among the nurses. A sample size of 452 revealed that there is a significant association between stress and gender (p = 0.041) and male nurses were more stressed than female nurses. There was also a significant association between age and level of stress (p = 0.00), where younger nurses (20-30 years) were more stressed than older nurses (30-40 years and above 40 years). However, no significant association was found between marital status and occupational stress. Although combined together, these three variables do not affect stress, the results for individual variables report the need for management and researchers to integrate individual differences when investigating or managing occupational stress.

“…High stress levels were found to affect KMHC use in patients with FD. Higher levels of perceived stress increase the risk of dyspepsia [ 36 , 37 ]. Additionally, stress is associated with more clinic visits and health care use [ 38 , 39 ].…”

Factors Affecting Korean Medicine Health Care Use for Functional Dyspepsia: Analysis of the Korea Health Panel Survey 2017

Functional dyspepsia (FD) significantly reduces quality of life, and Korean medicine treatment, including herbal medicine, is frequently used in the clinical setting. We aimed to analyze the factors affecting Korean medicine health care (KMHC) use for FD. Data from the Korea Health Panel Survey 2017 were analyzed. Individuals aged >19 years who were diagnosed with FD and used outpatient care were included. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the association of predisposing, enabling, and need factors with KMHC use for FD, based on Andersen’s behavioral model. The best subsets of factors affecting KMHC use for FD were selected using a stepwise procedure. Participants aged 65 years or older were less likely to use KMHC to treat FD than those aged 19 to 34 years (odds ratio (OR), 0.14; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.02–0.93). Residents of Busan, Daegu, Ulsan, or Gyeongsang tended to use more KMHC to treat FD than those of Seoul, Gyeonggi, or Incheon (OR, 2.45; 95% CI, 1.02–5.88). Participants with private health insurance were more likely to use KMHC to treat FD than those without private health insurance (OR, 3.41; 95% CI, 1.02–11.42). The prediction model of KMHC use for FD selected sex, age, private health insurance, and stress as the best subset of factors (AUC, 0.709; 95% CI, 0.637–0.781). The results of this study will aid in the decision making of clinicians, researchers, and policymakers.

“…Several studies had linked gastrointestinal alternations with occupational stress or burnout. [22][23][24] This so-called The Great Workfrom-Home Experiment of 2020 can provide insights on the experiences of working from home for those with IBS. According to a study conducted in Singapore, Singaporeans reported some improvements in sleep and exercise, and falling ill less during the lockdown that began in April compared with January when COVID-19 was not prevalent locally.…”

Background and Aim Gastrointestinal manifestations of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic may mimic irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and social distancing measures may affect IBS patients negatively. We aimed to study the impact of COVID‐19 on respondents with self‐reported IBS. Methods We conducted an anonymized survey from May to June 2020 in 33 countries. Knowledge, attitudes, and practices on personal hygiene and social distancing as well as psychological impact of COVID‐19 were assessed. Statistical analysis was performed to determine differences in well‐being and compliance to social distancing measures between respondents with and without self‐reported IBS. Factors associated with improvement or worsening of IBS symptoms were evaluated. Results Out of 2704 respondents, 2024 (74.9%) did not have IBS, 305 (11.3%) had self‐reported IBS, and 374 (13.8%) did not know what IBS was. Self‐reported IBS respondents reported significantly worse emotional, social, and psychological well‐being compared with non‐IBS respondents and were less compliant to social distancing measures (28.2% vs 35.3%, P = 0.029); 61.6% reported no change, 26.6% reported improvement, and 11.8% reported worsening IBS symptoms. Higher proportion of respondents with no change in IBS symptoms were willing to practice social distancing indefinitely versus those who deteriorated (74.9% vs 51.4%, P = 0.016). In multivariate analysis, willingness to continue social distancing for another 2–3 weeks ( vs longer period) was significantly associated with higher odds of worsening IBS. Conclusion Our study showed that self‐reported IBS respondents had worse well‐being and compliance to social distancing measures than non‐IBS respondents. Future research will focus on occupational stress and dietary changes during COVID‐19 that may influence IBS.
