Evaluation of occupational stress related to inducing of cerebro・athero-sclerotic diseases and the community-wide preventions

有可能开发出有效和可靠的自我报告工具，可以测量跨越不同职业的压力源，也就是“通用”压力源。这项工作强调了人和环境的一些方面，这些方面可以通过学习行为来改变。结果产生了职业压力清单(OSI)。这项工作的动机是，几乎没有做过什么工作来衡量个人如何调动对职业压力的生产性反应。基于以下社会角色和压力模型，我们开发了三个相互关联的工具。我们认为，一个人对他们所承担的社会角色的感知在他们对这种压力的反应中至关重要。因此，OSI量表在评估工作组或组织内的问题、个人评估和咨询以及家庭讨论或治疗方面可能是有用的。可以在模型中测量的三个需求中的任何一个中采取干预措施。

It was possible to develop valid and reliable self-report instruments that could measure stressors that cut across different occupations, that is, "generic" stressors. The work emphasized the aspects of people and environments that were possible to modify through learned behavior. The result was the Occupational Stress Inventory (OSI).The work was motivated by the fact that little had been done to measure how individuals mobilize productive responses to occupationally induced stress. We developed three interrelated instruments based on the following model of social roles and stress. We reasoned that an individual's perception of the social roles they assume is of critical importance in their reaction to that stress. The OSI scales may be useful, then, for assessing problems within workgroups or organizations, for individuals assessment and counseling, and for family discussions or therapy. Interventions may be undertaken in any of the three demains measured in the model.
