Workplace stress is strongly associated with health problems, including cardiovascular disease. The occupational health field is developing partnerships with a variety of health professions to prevent and address job stress at the organizational level. A review of literature for and about employee assistance professionals was conducted to explore their perspectives on these issues. Results show high awareness regarding the health effects of job stress and a wide range of approaches to address this problem. EAPs appear to be a potential strong partner in efforts to prevent workplace stress, but face obstacles to intervening at the level of the work environment.
工作场所压力与包括心血管疾病在内的健康问题密切相关。职业健康领域正在与各种健康专业建立合作关系,以在组织层面预防和解决工作压力问题。对有关员工援助专业人员的文献进行了综述,以探讨他们对这些问题的看法。结果显示,人们对工作压力对健康的影响有很高的认识,并且有广泛的方法来解决这个问题。员工援助计划似乎是预防工作场所压力的潜在有力合作伙伴,但在工作环境层面进行干预时面临障碍。
