This study investigated the mediating effect of depression on the correlation of job stress, depression, and suicidal ideation among 1,331 new fire officials who have worked below three years. For analysis, the Korean Occupational Stress Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised were used. First, we examined the mental health status of new fire officials and analyzed the correlation between job stress, depression, and suicidal ideation. The data were analyzed using the multiple regression analysis method to verify the mediating effect of depression on the correlation between job stress and suicidal ideation. The study found that job stress of new fire officials was positively correlated with depression and suicidal ideation. Depression has a positive correlation with suicidal ideation. When the mediating effect of depression was considered, depression was a partial mediator variable between job stress and suicidal ideation. These results suggest that more efficient and timely treatment in a preventive way will help new fire officials reduce job stress and depression. Moreover, it will be more effective to establish a counterplan for suicide prevention for fire officials.

This study investigated whether occupational stress factors moderate the effect of emotional labor on psychological distress in call center employees. A cross-sectional and descriptive study using anonymous paper-based survey methods was conducted in a sample of 283 call center employees in South Korea. Participants completed the Emotional Labor Scale, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, and the Korean Occupational Stress Scale. Moderated mediation analyses were conducted using the PROCESS macro in order to investigate the relationship among variables. The results showed that the association between surface acting while having emotional labor and psychological distress was mediated by emotional dissonance. The mediated effect of emotional dissonance was moderated by discomfort in occupational climate, suggesting that improving the occupational environment can lessen the level of psychological distress among emotional workers, and that more attention should be devoted to the development of an intervention at the organizational level in order to prevent mental health problems in this population.

Stress At Work

Stress at work resulting from increasing complexities of work and its divergent demand, has become a prominent and pervading feature of the modern organizations. The researchers in the area of organizational psychology and management have used the term job stress to denote employees’ mental state aroused by a job situation or a combination of job situations perceived as presenting excessive and divergent demands. Stress is an unavoidable phenomenon in human life. Though the type of stress may differ but almost any aspect of life can lead to stress, be it lack of friends, lack of money, unemployment or even employment. Rapid industrialization, increasing urbanization and receding support over the last few decades have contributed to rise in stress level. So the investigations have decided to construct and validate a scale to measure the Occupational stress. According to the standardization procedure the framed 30 statements were finalized to 21 statements constituting the Occupational stress scale.

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate and relate quality of life at work and occupational stress in the nursing team in the Emergency Care Unit. Method: a cross-sectional, correlational study conducted with 109 nursing workers working in the Emergency Care Unit of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A questionnaire with demographic and labor profile was used; the occupational stress was verified by the Job Stress Scale, and the quality of life at work by the Walton model. Results: Among the 109 workers, 34.9% were nurses, 53.2% nursing technicians and 11.9% nursing assistants. In analyzing the Job Stress Scale, 14.7% characterize work with high demand, 8.3% active work, 40.4% passive work and 36.7% work with low demand. In assessing quality of life at work, 39.5% are dissatisfied and 60.5% satisfied. The factors associated with dissatisfaction with work, according to the global scale quality of life at work, were female gender, nurse, low support at work, high demand or active work and longer time in the position held. Conclusion: it was found that most nursing workers in the Emergency Care Unit are satisfied with their quality of life at work and exposed to moderately occupational stress, and those most exposed to this stress were dissatisfied with their quality of life at work.

This study includes two cross-sectional questionnaire surveys. The first survey uses a set of 16 questions to assess students’ perceptions and attitudes based on an instrument to measure academic stress - Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA). The second survey aims to test internal consistency, the robustness of the previously established 7-factor structure. Henceforth, the model was brought back and used qualitatively, combined with Cronbach’s Alpha measurement test and EFA discovery factor analysis. This study was conducted from October 2019 to December 2019. From these practical analyzes, several proposals were made for the society, the school and the students themselves.
