The proliferation of sedentary, more cognitively demanding computer-mediated work, calls attention to the need for methods to measure mental work load. The present research describes two experiments in which participants performed a machine paced task of entering five and/or nine digit zip codes into a computer. The zip code data was presented on a computer screen for twelve four minute trials where the rate of zip code presentation varied from trial to trial. Using the psychophysical scaling method of magnitude estimation, participants made a judgment of task difficulty after each trial period. In Experiment 1, four females participated in a repeated measures within-subjects design performing each digit task condition for five consecutive days. In Experiment 2, a between-subjects design was adopted where 42 females performed either the five or the nine digit data-entry for only one testing session. Regression analyses using the independent variable of stimulus presentation rate and the dependent variable of judgments of perceived difficulty resulted in R2s of .90 or better for both digit conditions in both experiments. T-tests were conducted to see if different task parameters would affect difficulty judgments; these were statistically significant to the .001 level in both experiments. The results support the notion that magnitude estimation is a reliable method for scaling subjective perceptions of difficulty, which may be an important component of mental workload.

Introduction: Mental workload is one of the effective factors on the performance and efficiency of people working in an organization that put their health at risk. The aim of this study was to determine the mental workload of staffa working in a bank in Hamadan City of Iran  by NASA-TLX method. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 110 bank employees were surveyed. The data were collected using demographic and NASA-TLX questionnaires. Finally, collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 by running descriptive statistics and statistical tests. Results: According to the participants, the mean and standard deviation of effort and mental demand, as the most important dimensions were 81.04 ± 14.51 and 79.50 ± 18.05, respectively. The performance dimension was selected as the least important dimension with the mean and standard deviation of 64.37 ± 10.17. The results of statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between the participants' total score of mental workload and their demographic information such as age, gender, educational level, marital status, experience, and work overtime(P>0.05). The Pearson correlation coefficient showed that age (P<0.05) and work experience (P<0.01) had a significant and inverse relationship with temporal demand dimension . Conclusion: Based on the findings, the mean of perceived mental workload of bank employees was high. Therefore, effective programs should be conducted to mitigate and reduce the mental workload and to promote mental health of bank employees.

An Air Traffic Controller (ATC) operator is required to always concentrate on monitoring navigation, radiation as well as supervising and implementing aircraft guidance. Obviously such work can lead to a mental workload on the worker. Based on these problems, it is necessary to do a research on the analysis of mental workload on the operator ATC at XYZ Airport. Measurement of mental workload can be done in two ways: subjective measurement and objective measurement. Subjective measurements of the mental workload can be done with NASA-TLX method. While the objective measurement can be done by doing the measurement physiologically such as through the heart rate. The results showed that the metal workload of ATY operator of XYZ Airport was in high category and very high base on subjective measurement. Performance level is the dominant factor causing high mental work load perceived by ATC operator. While based on the objective measurement found that the mental workload of ATC operators are in the medium category.

This study sought to examine the effect of helmet weight on cognitive performance and mental workload. Twenty participants were studied in three one-hour sessions. The participants were asked to read and work with computer under three conditions: while wearing no helmets, while wearing a helmet that weighed 800 g (A), and while wearing a helmet weighing 1500 g (B). “N-back” task and Continuous Performance Test (CPT) were employed to assess cognitive performance, while NASA-TLX and Thermal Comfort and Fatigue Perception Scale were used to evaluate mental work load and comfort. At the end of the intervention sessions, perceived mental workload as well as thermal comfort and fatigue in the head were measured. Moreover, the participants’ cognitive performance was gauged before and after the sessions. The findings revealed that helmet weight had a significant impact on cognitive performance (p<0.001). Nonetheless, no significant difference was detected in the participants’ mental workload before and after the intervention. It was thus argued that helmet weight could affect cognitive performance.Therefore, in designing helmets, the weight of the helmet should be considered as an important factor.

Job stress among nurses in Muara Enim: physical and mental workloads analysisPurposeThis study aimed to determine the description of the level of job stress and identify related factors that include workload, job satisfaction and individual characteristics of nurses in hospital of dr. H. Mohamad Rabain Muara Enim. MethodsThis research was a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. Research subjects were 63 nurses who were selected using proportional stratified random sampling. Independent variables were physical and mental workload. External variables were job satisfaction, gender, age, years of service as employee, and marital status. The dependent variable was job stress. Job stress due to work measurements used a stress scoring questionnaire as the scoring method. Statistical tests were conducted to determine the correlation of job stress with the job stress factors of respondents using chi-square tests on physical workload variable and Fisher's Exact tests for mental workload with Confidence Interval (CI) 95% and p-value < 0.05. ResultsThere was no correlation between physical workload towards job stress in hospital of dr. H. Mohamad Rabain District of Muara Enim (p = 0.69). There was also no correlation between mental workload towards job stress in hospital of dr. H. Mohamad Rabain of Muara Enim district (p = 0.77). ConclusionFactors affecting the physical and mental workload are the absence of percentage between direct, indirect and non-nursing actions, and the differences between young and capable nurses. The work stress experienced by nurses is more influenced by other job factors.

Introduction: Noise is considered as a risk factor for a wide range of industrial environments, including construction industry. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of job stress caused by noise exposure with sleep disturbance. Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was carried out among 134 workers of an Iranian construction industry. To assess the individuals' noise exposure in accordance with the ISO 9612: 2009, the eight-hour occupational exposure level was measured. To assess the occupational stress, the Parker Job Stress Questionnaire and Insomnia Severity Index were applied. Epworth Sleepiness Scale was also used to assess the sleep disturbance. Data were analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson correlation test, and multivariate regression in SPSS version 23. Results: The results of Pearson correlation test and multivariate regression showed that noise can cause sleep disturbance by causing occupational stress in workers. Based on the results of this study, noise exposure, occupational stress, and sleep disturbance have a direct and positive relationship. In other words, increased noise exposure leads to occupational stress and sleep disturbance. Conclusion: Assessment of the noise exposure in workers of a construction industry showed that noise was a very important factor in the psychological problems of workers in this industry. In addition to the direct effects of noise on sleep disturbance, it can indirectly exacerbate the sleep disturbances.
