Evidence-based interventional study on stress management For working women

通过检查2002年护士回答的问卷(GHQ28日文版；一份简短的工作压力问卷)，评估了GHQ总分(压力指标)、工作压力源和非工作压力源之间的关系。研究发现，与低压力组(GHQ总分11分或以下)相比，高压力组(GHQ总分12分或更高)的工作压力源(工作场所或家庭支持不足、对工作的控制能力差、不恰当地使用技术)得分更高。此外，高压力组中有非工作压力源的人数多于低压力组。这些发现表明，职业女性所经历的压力是由她们扮演的多重角色造成的。回答1997和2002年问卷的护士作为额外调查的对象(通过问卷调查)，以发现在过去的5年中，定期锻炼计划和压力状况的变化如何影响她们。研究发现，那些参加常规锻炼计划的人，他们的压力得分没有变化；他们的心理健康状况得到了很好的维护。另一方面，那些不经常锻炼的人显示出压力分数的增加；而他们的心理健康分数在过去的50年里下降了。只有少数人经常锻炼：大多数人没有。护士们被进一步调查，以评估工作场所的锻炼计划是否能缓解一个人的压力状态。结果表明，那些从事锻炼的人增加了体力活动量，减少了工作压力和其他压力的运动量。

The relationship among total GHQ scores (an indicator for stress), work stressor, and non-work stressors was evaluated by examining questionnaires (GHQ28 Japanese version ; a brief job stress questionnaire) to which nurses responded in 2002. It was found that, compared with the low-stress group (total GHQ score, 11points or lower), the scores for work stressor (inadequate support in the work place or at home, poor control over their work, or inappropriate utilization of technology) are greater for the high-stress group (total GHQ score, 12points or higher). Furthermore, the number of individuals with non-work stressors was greater in the high -than in the low- stressor group. These findings indicated the stress that working women experience is caused by the multiple roles they play. The nurses who responded to the 1997 and 2002 questionnaires served as the subjects of additional surveys (by using questionnaires) to discover how regular exercise programs and changes in stress conditions have affected them over the past 5years. It was found that those who engage in routine exercise programs showed no change in their stress scores ; and their mental health status was well-preserved. On the other hand, those who did not exercise regularly showed an increase in the stress scores ; and their score for mental health went down over the 5years. Only a few exercised routinely : the majority did not. The nurses were further investigated to assess whether exercise programs at the workplace ease one's stressful state. The results indicated that those who engaged in exercise increased the amount of physical activity and reduced those for work stressors and other stresses.
