Abstract

Objectives. Job stress (JS) can endanger health. This study therefore determined the association between risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and JS in hospital office employees. Methods. The cross-sectional study examined JS of 350 hospital administrative staff using the Osipow questionnaire. After 10 h of fasting, the participants' systolic and diastolic blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride and glucose levels were recorded. SPSS version 20 was used for statistical analysis. Results. In total, 85.14% participants have more than medium stress. Significant differences were observed between the blood triglyceride levels (p < 0.05) and levels of stress. The blood cholesterol and glucose level in the medium or lower stress group were significantly lower than in the more than medium stress group (p < 0.001). Conclusions. According to the results, psychological counseling programs are recommended for reducing the risk of (CVD) factors in stressful work environments.
