Stress is derived from the Latin word "stringers" manifests as the body's response to various demands and pressures, affecting individuals' health and well-being. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate stress levels in employed and unemployed women, recognizing the differential stress experiences in various life domains. A quantitative non-experimental comparative research design was employed, with data collected through structured questionnaires from 120 women in Visnagar, Gujarat. Results: Non-working women demonstrated lower stress levels compared to working women in pre-test measures. Post-intervention, non-working women experienced a reduction in stress, while working women showed no change. Demographic factors like age, education, and family structure did not significantly influence stress levels, except for monthly income, which correlated with lower stress across both groups. The study underscores significant disparities in stress levels between employed and unemployed women in rural Visnagar. Tailored interventions effectively reduced stress among non-working women but showed limited efficacy for working women. Financial stability emerged as a crucial factor in mitigating stress. Younger working women reported higher stress levels, suggesting the need for targeted interventions addressing career and familial pressures.
压力源于拉丁语单词“stringers”，表现为身体对各种需求和压力的反应，影响着个人的健康和幸福。因此，评估在职和失业女性的压力水平很有意义，因为认识到她们在生活各个领域所经历的不同压力。本研究采用定量非实验性比较研究设计，通过结构化问卷从古吉拉特邦维斯纳加尔的120名女性中收集数据。结果：在预测试中，无工作女性的压力水平低于在职女性。干预后，无工作女性的压力有所降低，而在职女性则没有变化。年龄、教育程度和家庭结构等人口因素对压力水平没有显著影响，但月收入除外，月收入与两组较低的压力相关。该研究强调了维斯纳加尔农村地区在职和失业女性在压力水平上的显著差异。针对性的干预措施有效降低了无工作女性的压力，但对在职女性的效果有限。经济稳定是减轻压力的关键因素。年轻的在职女性报告压力水平较高，这表明需要针对职业和家庭压力进行有针对性的干预。
