Occupational stress significantly impacts Italian radiologists and radiotherapists, with many experiencing discomfort, strain, and imbalance. Prevention strategies are crucial to mitigate these workplace stress factors and their health effects.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Psychosocial Medicine
  • Medical Imaging Professions

Background:

  • Workplace stress is a growing concern in healthcare.
  • Understanding the specific stressors for radiologists and radiotherapists is vital.
  • Psychosocial effects of occupational stress can impact well-being and performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate occupational stress and its psychosocial effects.
  • To assess stress levels and health impacts in Italian radiologists and radiotherapists.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire-based study was conducted with Italian radiologists and radiotherapists.
  • Validated instruments measured occupational stress (e.g., Karasek's JCQ, Effort-Reward Imbalance) and health effects (anxiety, depression, distress).

Main Results:

  • While generally reporting high control and satisfaction, significant percentages experienced organizational discomfort (38.5%), job strain (24%), and effort/reward imbalance (28%).
  • Female, younger, and less experienced professionals reported higher stress levels.
  • Stress predictors correlated significantly with adverse health outcomes like depression, anxiety, and unhealthy lifestyles.

Conclusions:

  • Radiologists and radiotherapists face substantial occupational stress.
  • A significant proportion suffer from workplace stress, necessitating targeted prevention efforts.
