Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the current status and influencing factors of occupational stress in female workers of labor-intensive enterprises. METHODS: Totally 910 female workers from 5 labor-intensive enterprises in Guangdong Province was selected as the research subjects by random cluster sampling method. A questionnaire survey on occupational stress was conducted using the Occupational Stress Inventory-Revised Edition. RESULTS: Among the 910 female workers,14. 9%( 136/910) showed medium or higher scale on occupational role level,20. 1%( 183/910) showed medium or higher scale on occupational stress level,and 21. 4%( 195/910) showed medium or higher scale on personal resources lack. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the risk of occupational stress was high in single female workers and/or those exposed to occupational hazards( P < 0. 01). The higher the occupational role level,the higher risk of occupational stress( P < 0. 01). The less personal resources,the higher risk of occupational stress( P < 0. 01).CONCLUSION: Some female workers in labor-intensive enterprises showed medium or higher occupational stress level. The main influencing factors of occupational stress are marital status,exposure to occupational hazards,occupational role and personal resources.
