Abstract
Background:The evolution of the quality of work life (QWL) began in the late 1960s, emphasizing the human dimensions of work by focusing on the quality of the relationship between the worker and working environment. With the increasing concern about job stress on workers, many researchers have addressed psychosocial job stress and its adverse effects on health. The topic of occupational stress currently receives considerable research attention and is an important issue of occupational health from a QoL perspective.
Objectives: To present the prevalence rate of work strain in a workplace and an on-line visual presentation provided by a mental-related Doctor for consulation.
Methods: The setting was a 900-bed hospital in southern Taiwan. A total of 1,800 full-time workers in the studied hospital participated in a job perception survey in May of 2009. The exploration factor analysis and parallel analysis(PA) approach were used to verify the number of factors retained in the Chinese-version of the Job-Content Questionnaire (C-JCQ) . The effective sample size was 1,124 with a return rate of 62.64%. With those survey results, the prevalence rate of work strain in a workplace can be computed. One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to analyze the difference in work strain among sections. An on-line visual representation of C-JCQ diagnosis was designed to provide practitioners for use in clinical settings.
Results: The prevalence rate of work strain in the study workplace was 29.83%. There were significant differences among work sections on most C-JCQ subscales. The visual representation of C-JCQ diagnosis can be available providing clinical practitioners for application of mental health consultation in clinical settings. .
Conclusions: Periodical surveys of labor quality of work life with C-JCQ are urgently in need. The graphical representation system to report the individual work stain in workplace can be applied to clinical settings in use and to the prevalence rate of work strain in computation.
