Psychosocial factors at work can affect individuals' physical and mental health. In this sense, evidence shows that physical activity and social support at work promote benefits to workers' health, especially regarding stress reduction.
To evaluate the association between occupational stress, social support at work, and weekly frequency of physical activity among outsourced workers.
This is a cross-sectional study with a convenience sample comprising 182 outsourced workers of both sexes and different positions, aged between 21 and 72 years (39 ± 11.4); the participants answered the Demand-Control-Support Questionnaire for assessing occupational stress and social support at work and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form for assessing the frequency of physical activity. The association between constructs was investigated through a Poisson regression. The significance level was set to 5%.
A significant inverse association (p < 0.05) was found between passive work and frequency of physical activity (walking) among women (relative risk 0.70; 95% confidence interval 0.5-0.9), whereas for men, this association was found with the frequency of vigorous-intensity physical activity (relative risk 0.70; 95% confidence interval 0.4-0.9). However, a significant inverse association (p < 0.05) between social support and physical activity was found only among women (relative risk 0.66; 95% confidence interval 0.4-0.9) and for moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity (relative risk 0.65; 95% confidence interval 0.4-0.9).
Occupational stress and social support at work are associated with weekly frequency of physical activity. Nevertheless, disparities can be seen between men and women and depending on the intensity of physical activity.
工作中的社会心理因素会影响个人的身心健康。从这个意义上说，有证据表明工作中的体育活动和社会支持对员工健康有益，尤其是在减轻压力方面。
评估外包员工的职业压力、工作中的社会支持与每周体育活动频率之间的关联。
这是一项横断面研究，采用便利抽样，样本包括182名不同性别和职位的外包员工，年龄在21至72岁之间（39±11.4岁）；参与者回答了用于评估职业压力和工作中的社会支持的需求-控制-支持问卷，以及用于评估体育活动频率的国际体育活动问卷简表。通过泊松回归研究各结构之间的关联。显著性水平设定为5%。
在女性中，被动工作与体育活动（步行）频率之间存在显著的负相关（p<0.05）（相对风险0.70；95%置信区间0.5-0.9），而对于男性，这种关联存在于剧烈强度体育活动的频率中（相对风险0.70；95%置信区间0.4-0.9）。然而，仅在女性中发现社会支持与体育活动之间存在显著的负相关（p<0.05），且与中等强度和剧烈强度的体育活动有关（相对风险0.66；95%置信区间0.4-0.9）。
职业压力和工作中的社会支持与每周体育活动频率相关。然而，男性和女性之间以及取决于体育活动强度的情况下存在差异。
