Stress-related disorders are the main reason for sick leave in many European countries. The aim of the present study was to explore whether perceived occupational imbalance predicts stress-related disorders, potential gender differences, and to explore the mediating role of perceived stress.
Longitudinal data on 2223 employees in a public organization in Sweden were collected by surveys, and analyzed by logistic regression.
Occupational imbalance predicted stress-related disorders among both women and men. However, what aspects of occupational imbalance which predicted stress-related disorders differ by gender. Perceived stress was not a mediator in these associations.
How women and men perceived their occupational balance affected the risk of stress-related disorders. The results may be used to develop effective strategies to decrease stress-related disorders.
在许多欧洲国家,与压力相关的疾病是病假的主要原因。本研究的目的是探讨感知到的职业失衡是否能预测与压力相关的疾病、潜在的性别差异,并探讨感知压力的中介作用。
通过调查收集了瑞典一家公共组织中2223名员工的纵向数据,并采用逻辑回归进行分析。
职业失衡在男性和女性中均能预测与压力相关的疾病。然而,预测与压力相关疾病的职业失衡方面因性别而异。在这些关联中,感知压力并非中介因素。
男性和女性对其职业平衡的感知方式影响了与压力相关疾病的风险。这些结果可用于制定有效的策略以减少与压力相关的疾病。
