Predictores de la ansiedad en mujeres con trabajo remunerado

The main objective of this research was to determine predictive models of anxiety in women with paid work who receive and who do not receive help with their household chores. The study had a quantitative, cross-sectional design with correlational scope. The intentional sample consisted of 554 women from the cities of Saltillo and Sonora, Mexico. The instruments used were the Life-Work Conciliation Scale and the Anxiety Scale; the variables were analyzed through multiple linear regressions. The results show seven predictors of anxiety for women with and without domestic help. The three main predictors are as follows: Rejection of job promotions, Utility and recognition, and Conflict with the couple. It is concluded that the precariousness of interpersonal relationships and the limitation of leisure time are predisposing factors for the presence of anxiety traits in female workers.
