Occupational stress in hospital cleaners (n = 50), and the effect of relaxation training (n = 25, age matched, randomized), were studied by recording the electrical activity of the upper trapezius muscle at rest and during working conditions at the beginning, middle, and end of a 6-month follow-up period. A short (15-minute) relaxation program was practiced daily at the workplace to provide stress management. The amount of sick leave was counted, and the extent of depression and some psychosocial working factors were screened. Intercorrelations were found between the neck-shoulder tension, psychosocial factors, depression, and the absentee rate. The relaxation training diminished tension in the neck-shoulder region efficiently; nevertheless, the decrease in absenteeism might have been related mainly to the social support offered by the research maneuver itself.
对50名医院清洁工的职业压力以及放松训练（25名，年龄匹配，随机分组）的效果进行了研究，通过记录6个月随访期开始、中间和结束时，上斜方肌在休息和工作状态下的电活动。每天在工作场所进行一次简短（15分钟）的放松训练以进行压力管理。统计病假天数，并筛查抑郁程度和一些社会心理工作因素。发现颈肩紧张、社会心理因素、抑郁和缺勤率之间存在相互关联。放松训练有效地减轻了颈肩区域的紧张；然而，缺勤率的下降可能主要与研究操作本身提供的社会支持有关。
