Research Resources

Women constitute an increasingly large segment of the paid workforce. Nevertheless, investigators of work stress have focused predominantly on men and, largely, have ignored possible gender differences. This has led to findings, based on the study of male workers, being incorrectly applied to females. Further, the limited amount of research into work stress and coping that has been published has been vulnerable to criticisms. An analysis of research in this area suggested that gender moderates work stress in three ways: men and women are vulnerable to different stressors relating to work; they utilise different coping strategies to cope with these stressors, and they vary in their perceptions of the resources that they have available to help them to cope. It is important to direct research resources to further investigation of gender differences in these three dimensions. Such research is necessary for the development of effective preventative and treatment programs for occupational stress.

Coping Behaviours

The objectives of the SMILE study were to assess anxiety, stress, depression, functional impact and coping behaviours in migraine patients consulting in primary care in France. General practitioners ( n = 1467) and 83 neurologists included 5417 consulting migraine patients. Of these patients, 67± were found anxious, of whom 59± were also depressive. Patients with both anxiety and depressive dimensions showed a profile similar to that of chronic migraine patients (severe attacks, poor treatment effectiveness and pronounced stress, functional impact and maladaptive behaviours). A quantitative progression in the levels of stress, maladaptive coping behaviours and functional impact was noted from patients with neither dimension to those with both anxious and depressive dimensions. Stress and maladaptive coping strategies were found to be major determinants of anxiety. Anxious and depressive dimensions were associated with elevated consumption of acute treatments for migraine and low treatment effectiveness. Stress and anxiety should be looked for carefully in migraine patients.
