Work stress and health in Western European and post-communist countries: an East-West comparison study

Abstract: Background There is evidence that psychosocial factors at work influence the risk of poor health in Western societies, but little is known about the effect of work stress in the former communist countries. The aim of this paper is to compare the association of work stress with self-rated health in Western European and post-communist countries. Methods Data from four epidemiological studies were used: the HAPIEE study (Poland, Russia and the Czech Republic), the Hungarian Epidemiological Panel (Hungary), the … Show more

“…Work stress was shown to influence the onset as well as disease prognosis (Schnall 2009;Stansfeld 2006;Tsutsumi 2004;Nieuwenhuijsen 2010;Steptoe and Kivimäki 2012) , with some noticeable exceptions (Belkic 2004). Importantly, work stress also contributes to poor self-rated health (Salavecz 2010), functional limitations (Kuper 2002), sick leave (Head 2007) and disability (Blekesaune2005; Dragano 2007). To further improve understanding of stress related disease existing evidence from small and medium size studies must be approved using large scale samples which allow the calculation of precise estimators of effect, subgroup analyses and associations with outcomes of smaller incidence.…”

“…In addition, although their excessive efforts are often not met with adequate rewards, overcommitted employees tend to maintain their level of involvement (16). A high OC has been found to be associated with insomnia (17), poor self-rated health (18), and emotional exhaustion at work (19). The risk for poor health is expected to be highest when high OC is combined with high ERI (6, 7).…”

“…V dostupné literatuře se lze dopátrat několika výzkumů modelu ERI provedených od roku 2000 do současnosti v České republice (Wahrendorf et al, 2013;Niedhammer et al, 2012;Salavecz et al, 2010;Pikhard et al, 2004Pikhard et al, , 2001.
