Assessing occupational stress level and its influencing factors in medical radiologists by two models / 中国职业医学

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To explore the status of occupational stress and its influencing factors in medical radiation workers using two occupational stress measurement models. METHODS: A total of 632 medical radiation workers from Guangdong Province were selected as the study subjects using cluster sampling method. Chinese version of Job Content Questionnaire and Effort Reward Imbalance Questionnaire were used to assess occupational stress with job demand-control( JDC) and effort-reward imbalance( ERI) models. RESULTS: The rate of occupational stress in the study subjects was 43. 8%( 277/632) using the JDC model. The rate of occupational stress was 38. 6%( 244/632) using the ERI model. The multivariate logistic analysis results showed that the risk of JDC occupational stress was higher in workers with more than 8 hours work daily and more than 40 hours weekly( P < 0. 01). The risk of ERI occupational stress was higher in the workers with age of30. 0-40. 0,public medical institutions,daily work more than 8 hours and weekly work more than 40 hours( P < 0. 01).CONCLUSION: Under the two theoretical models,medical radiation workers have a certain degree of occupational stress. The age,medical institution type,daily and weekly work hours are the main factors affecting occupational stress.
