Work stress and health
« on: February 07, 2013, 03:37:51 PM »
In todayÂ’s rapidly changing labour market, the
consequences of stress in the workplace have become
an issue. Previous studies have suggested that adverse
work conditions are related to a variety of health problems.
Research has focused on associations between factors such
as work organization, job control and worker support, and
health outcomes such as depression, anxiety, high blood
pressure and coronary heart disease.

Job strain, defined as a measure of the balance between
the psychological demands of a job and the amount of
control or decision-making power it affords, has been
proposed as a key component of work stress. Workers in
high-strain jobs have been shown to have higher rates of a
wide variety of diseases than their counterparts in low-strain
jobs.5 Job strain, however, is only one element of work
stress. Job insecurity, physical demands, and the amount
of support provided by supervisors and co-workers also
come into play in the work stress–illness relationship.

Remember, mg, when stress levels inundate the body, the heart rate increases, this can exacerbate cases of hypertension if not already a genetic predilection. Physical exercises, yoga, as well as breathing exercises are just some examples of ways to reduce stress , be they work-related or personal stress.



Sincere regards,
