Abstract

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between utilization of institution-affiliated childcare andemployee stress among parents working at a large, academic medical center. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of the relationship between institution-affiliated childcare and employee stress. Survey questions asked about personal stress related to job, relationship with spouse, parental responsibilities, childcare, finances, and personal health. RESULTS 558 (68%) respondents were predominantly female (76.9%). Fifty-four percent had non-institution-affiliated childcare and 45% had institution-affiliated childcare. Use of institution-affiliated childcare was associated with less overall stress (-4.86 [95% confidence interval -8.01, -1.72], p = 0.003), and less stress related to finances, childcare, and personal health. Differences between groups related to job, relationship with spouse, or parental responsibilities were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated an association between institution-affiliated childcare andlower stress, highlighting the centrality of employer-affiliated childcare to employees' stress.

机构附属托儿服务与员工压力的关系。

目的探讨某大型学术性医疗中心家长对机构附属托儿服务的利用与员工压力的关系。方法对机构附属托儿服务与员工压力的关系进行横断面分析。调查问题涉及与工作、配偶关系、父母责任、育儿、财务和个人健康有关的个人压力。结果558名(68%)被调查者中，女性占76.9%。54%的人有非机构附属托儿服务，45%的人有机构附属托儿服务。使用机构附属托儿服务与总体压力较小相关(-4.86[95%可信区间-8.01，-1.72]，p = 0.003)，与财务、托儿和个人健康相关的压力较小相关。在工作、配偶关系或父母责任方面，组间差异无统计学意义。结论本研究证实了机构附属托儿与较低压力之间存在关联，凸显了雇主附属托儿对员工压力的中心性。
