“…Role, relationships and peer support dimensions among both non-smoking or smoking workers and change dimension among non-smoking workers compared to the benchmark data unambiguously need amendments [4,36]. Dimensions of demands (workload, work pace and work environment), control (workers control on their work) and change (manage and notify change within the organization) have no significant impact on smoking habit.…”

“…Two alternative response formats were used: a frequency response (always to never) and an agreement format (strongly disagree to strongly agree). According to HSE-MS IT, higher scores indicated a lower stress risk [19]; scores below 20th percentile reflected high stress risk, 20-50 th percentile meant undesirable category, 50-80 th percentile showed desirable category and 80th percentile and above were the very desirable category, as this classification is also called benchmark data [4,19]. Reliability and validity of this questionnaire in Iran was approved by Marzabadi et al with Cronbach's alpha=0.78 *18+.…”

Background-Occupational stress antagonizes human health directly as well as by instigating behavioral adversities like smoking; though it's relation with latter is yet unveiled. This study aimed at ascertaining the relation between occupational stresses and smoking status among workers of a steel industry in Iran. Material and Methods-This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 105 workers of steel industry in Iran. Standardized Health and Safety Executive Management Standards Indicator Tool (HSE-MS IT) along with subjects' demographic features were used to assess occupational stress; while smoking status was measured by standardized methods of Otten et al (1999). Results-Response rate was 86.7% as 91 completed questionnaires were received back. Mean age of smoking and non-smoking workers 39.5±10.2 & 38.4±5.5 respectively (data presented as mean with standard deviation-M±SD), work experience of smokers and non-smokers 13±6.1 & 12.9±5.9 years respectively, while 90.4% were married. Total occupational stress scored 2.96±0.35; 13.5% staff were at high stress risk. Outcome scores were significantly different between smokers and non-smokers in stress dimensions including role, relationships, managers' support and peer support. Conclusion-Although smoking workers revealed better situation in role dimension, yet smoking employees depicted higher stress in relationships, managers' support and peer support dimensions. Inferences qualify for imperative measures to implicate smoking cessation programs, as well as regime to attenuate occupational stress at workplaces.

“…Essa escala já tem sido aplicada à várias populações brasileiras como professores de ensino fundamental e médio (MACHADO et al, 2014), estudantes universitários (DIAS et al, 2015, acadêmicos de enfermagem (FLAUZINO et al, 2017), idosos (LUFT et al, 2007 (SOUZA et al, 2009). O estresse relacionado ao ambiente de trabalho pode levar aos mais variados problemas de saúde; estima-se que cerca de metade de todas as ausências no trabalho sejam decorrentes de distúrbios de estresse ocupacional (MARCATTO et al, 2016).…”

This study compared the stress, anxiety and depression levels in employees working in the health, education and security sectors. The study also investigated the effect of psychological resilience on stress, anxiety, and depression levels and whether the stress, anxiety, depression and psychological resilience levels of employees differ according to occupational and demographic variables. In this cross‐sectional study, 1222 employees participated, comprising 50.8% from the health sector, 37.7% from education, and 11.5% from security. Data were collected using the Stress, Anxiety, and Depression Scale‐21 and the Brief Resilience Scale. The study revealed varying rates of severe stress (49.1%), anxiety (74.0%), and depression (53.2%) among participants. Health employees experienced higher stress (52.1%), anxiety (77.0%), and depression (58%) rates compared to those in education (46.4%, 72.4%, and 48.4%) and security sectors (44.3%, 66.4%, and 48.5%). Health employees exhibited higher stress, anxiety, and depression levels, signifying a significant difference. Furthermore, the research identified psychological resilience as a crucial predictor of stress, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, these mental health issues were more prevalent among younger individuals with less work experience, females, private sector employees, singles, and those without children. The findings of the study showed that the level of stress, anxiety and depression was high in employees working in all three sectors (health, education and security), but mental problems were more common in health employees. The fact that psychological resilience is a significant predictor of stress, anxiety and depression levels indicates that this factor should be taken into account.
