“…Perspective" (Rabin, Matalon, Maoz, & Shiber, 2005), and the other article investigated how the interaction between the ability of medical residents to cope with stress and their work might affect their level of job-related stress (Haoka, Sasahara, Tomotsune, Yoshino, Maeno, & Matsuzaki, 2010). Both articles focused highly on sense of coherence, and the second article used Antonovsky's sense of coherence questionnaire in their study.…”

“…Data were gathered by means of an anonymous questionnaire distributed among the participants during identify specific stressful life experiences, though several respondents commented on the relationships with both other professionals as well as patients as a major source of stress. In the case of chronic stress, leading to underperformance [40], high satisfaction with career support, high sense of coherence [34,41], occupational self-efficacy [34], and low values regarding being overcommitted to ones work [35] seem to act as protective factors.…”

Objectives:The study investigated associations between workplace bullying and post-traumatic stress symptoms as compared to and controlled for associations between the latter and other psychosocial stress factors at work and in everyday life. The study employed a representative sample of Lithuanian family physicians, hence investigated a particularly resourceful occupational group in a geographical region earlier found to have a high risk context for exposure to bullying at work. Material and Methods: With a response rate of 89.2%, a total of 323 family physicians filled in an anonymous questionnaire on workplace bullying, post-traumatic symptomatology (IES-R), other psychosocial stressors at work and in everyday life, personal health resources (sense of coherence), behavioral characteristics and demographic variables. The statistical software SPSS 14.0, Windows was used in the analysis. Associations were tested using a multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: A high prevalence of bullying was found among family physicians in Lithuania, with 13% of them experiencing severe workplace bullying and 17.3% experiencing more occasional incidents of bullying. The prevalence of post-traumatic stress symptoms was also high with 15.8% scoring above the standardized cut-off thresholds for post-traumatic stress disorder. The odds ratio (OR) of severe bullying for post-traumatic stress after adjustment for age and gender was 8.05 (95% confidence intervals (CI): 3.80-17.04). In the fully adjusted model it increased to 13.88 (95% CI: 4.68-41.13) indicating cumulative effects of all the investigated stressors. Conclusions: Workplace bullying is particularly prevalent among Lithuanian family physicians, as are the symptoms of post-traumatic distress. Strong associations between post-traumatic stress and exposure to severe bullying indicate that bullying is a significant source of mental health.

“…Antonovsky uses a concept called "sense of coherence" (SOC) to explain individual factors related to life stresses and health. SOC is defined as "a global orientation that expresses the extent to which one has a pervasive, enduring, though dynamic, feeling of confidence that one's internal and external environments are predictable and that there is a high probability that things will work out as well as can reasonably be expected" (Antonovsky & Sagy, 1986 Haoka et al (2010) reported that workload, mental workload, and problems in personal relationships that are perceived as job stressors are negatively associated with residents' psychological well-being, and reward from work is a buffer factor that is positively associated psychological wellbeing. However, this study was conducted just after the beginning of training and the number of participants was small.…”

Background: Medical residents are at a high risk of depression. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) job stress model explains that job stressors, buffer factors, and individual factors are related to worker health, including depression. This study investigated which job stressors and buffer factors influence depression in residents, independent of individual factors. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to second-year residents at 251 teaching hospitals. The questionnaire contained the Brief Scales for Job Stress (BSJS), the Sense of Coherence (SOC) Scale, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale, and questions on working hours and demographic characteristics. The BSJS is composed of six subscales including workload, mental workload, problems in personal relationships, job control, reward from work, and support from colleagues and superiors. The SOC includes individual factors about life stressors and health. We analyzed the relationship between depressive symptoms and these factors. Results: Among 1,121 second-year residents who responded (64.5% response rate), 274 (24.4%) had depressive symptoms. In the multivariable analysis, depressive symptoms were significantly associated with SOC-13 score (p < 0.001), mental workload (p < 0.01), problems in personal relationships (p < 0.001), and reward from work (p < 0.01). Depressive symptoms were not significantly associated with mean number of hours worked per week. Conclusion: Mental workload and problems in personal relationships are job stressors and reward from work is a buffer factor associated with depressive symptoms in medical residents. These findings can help residency programs support mental health of residents more effectively.The effect of stress-related factors on depressive state among medical residents

The effect of stress-related factors on mental health status among resident doctors in Japan

Abstract: Residents' mental health was associated not only with working conditions, but also with their attitudes towards those working conditions. Enhancing residents' sense of 'reward from work' might be important in reducing their reactions to stress.
