This study was aimed to determine the relationship between job stress and work-related quality of life (WRQoL) among emergency medical technicians (EMTs) in Lorestan province, Western Iran.
This was a cross-sectional study.
Totally 430 EMTs who had been engaged in their respective units for more than 6 months from all emergency facilities in Lorestan province were selected using single stage cluster sampling method. Data were collected from April to July 2019 using two standard questionnaires: job stress (Health and Safety Executive (HSE)) and WRQoL. The OR with 95% CI was used to declare the statistical association (p≤0.05).
All participants were exclusively males, with a mean age of 32±6.87 years. The overall average score of job stress using the HSE scale was 2.69±0.43; while the overall quality of working life score was 2.48±1.01. The type of working shift was found to have a significant impact on the HSE-average score (F(3,417)=5.26, p=0.01); and on the WRQoL-average score (F(3,417)=6.89, p<0.01).
Two-thirds of EMTs working in governmental hospitals had job stress and a low quality of work-related life. Additionally, work shift was statistically significant associated with EMTs' job stress and WRQoL.
本研究旨在确定伊朗西部洛雷斯坦省急救医疗技术员(EMT)的工作压力与工作相关生活质量(WRQoL)之间的关系。
这是一项横断面研究。
采用单阶段聚类抽样法,从洛雷斯坦省所有急救设施中选取了 430 名从事各自单位工作超过 6 个月的 EMT。数据于 2019 年 4 月至 7 月期间通过两份标准问卷收集:工作压力(健康与安全执行局(HSE))和 WRQoL。使用 OR 和 95%CI 来声明统计学关联(p≤0.05)。
所有参与者均为男性,平均年龄为 32±6.87 岁。使用 HSE 量表的工作压力总体平均得分为 2.69±0.43;而工作生活质量总评分得分为 2.48±1.01。工作轮班类型被发现对 HSE 平均得分(F(3,417)=5.26,p=0.01)和 WRQoL 平均得分(F(3,417)=6.89,p<0.01)有显著影响。
在政府医院工作的 EMT 中有三分之二存在工作压力和低工作相关生活质量。此外,轮班工作与 EMT 的工作压力和 WRQoL 有统计学上的显著关联。
