Lack of data on occupational stress among Iranian industrial employees persuaded us to design and conduct this study to evaluate the prevalence and associated parameters of occupational stress among male employees of the Esfahan Steel Company (ESCO), one of the biggest industrial units in Iran.
In this cross-sectional study, 400 male employees were sampled from the operational divisions of the company. Socio-demographic data and stress-related variables were entered into a logistic regression to determine significant associated factors of occupational stress among the participants.
From all samples, 53% were found as stressful. A monthly salary of less than $600 (OR = 1.88, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.21-2.94), family-related problems (OR = 2.75, 95% CI = 1.22-6.21), work environment (OR = 3.09, 95% CI = 1.78-5.33) and having a second job (OR = 2.68, 95% CI = 1.78-6.78) were significantly associated with the outcome.
Attention to some variables, especially economic problems and the work environment of employees, might play a protective role against the prevalence of occupational stress, not only among the employees of ESCO but also among all industrial employees in Iran.
伊朗产业员工缺乏职业压力数据，这促使我们设计并开展本研究，以评估伊朗最大的工业单位之一伊斯法罕钢铁公司（ESCO）男性员工的职业压力患病率及相关参数。
在这项横断面研究中，从该公司的运营部门抽取了400名男性员工。将社会人口统计学数据和与压力相关的变量纳入逻辑回归，以确定参与者中职业压力的显著相关因素。
在所有样本中，发现53%存在压力。月工资低于600美元（比值比[OR]=1.88，95%置信区间[CI]=1.21 - 2.94）、家庭相关问题（OR = 2.75，95% CI = 1.22 - 6.21）、工作环境（OR = 3.09，95% CI = 1.78 - 5.33）以及拥有第二份工作（OR = 2.68，95% CI = 1.78 - 6.78）与结果显著相关。
关注一些变量，特别是经济问题和员工的工作环境，可能不仅对ESCO员工，而且对伊朗所有产业员工职业压力的普遍存在起到预防作用。
