Abstract:
Objective To investigate understand the current status of the sense of coherence and occupational stress in modem service workers,and to analyze the association between occupational stress and the sense of coherence.Methods From March to April,2016,834 modem service workers from 3 companies in Shanghai,China (in air transportation industry,marketing industry,and travel industry) were surveyed by nonrandom sampling.The self-completion questionnaires were filled out anonymously given the informed consent of the workers.The occupational stress questionnaire was used to evaluate occupational stress,and the Chinese version of the Sense of Coherence Scale(SOC-13) was used to assess the mental health.Results The mean score for the sense of coherence of the respondents was 61.54t10.46,and 50.1％ of them were self-rated as having occupational stress.There were significant differences in SOC score between groups with different ages,marital status,positions,lengths of service,family per capita monthly income,and weekly work hours (P＜0.05).The occupational stress score differed significantly across groups with different marital status,lengths of service,and weekly work hours (P＜0.05).The scores for working autonomy,social support,and occupational stress differed significantly between groups with different SOC levels (P＜0.05).There were significant differences in SOC score and the distribution of low-SOC respondents between groups with different levels of working autonomy,social support,and occupational stress.High SOC is a protective factor for occupational stress (0R=0.39,95％CI 0.26～ 0.59).Conclusion Modern service workers in Shanghai have high SOC and moderate occupational stress.Therefore,improving SOC may reduce occupational stress.
