This study found significant differences in perceived stress among professionals based on sex, age, job classification, and stress levels. The Tennessee Stress Scale-L revealed variations across stress producers, coping mechanisms, and symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health Psychology
  • Psychological Stress Research
  • Sociology of Work

Background:

  • Workplace stress is a significant concern affecting professional well-being and productivity.
  • Understanding demographic and occupational variations in stress perception is crucial for targeted interventions.
  • Previous research indicates potential differences in stress experiences across various professional groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how sex, age, job classification, and perceived stress levels influence stressor perception, coping mechanisms, and symptom manifestation.
  • To identify specific demographic and occupational factors associated with differential stress experiences in professionals.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 173 professionals.

  • Utilized the Tennessee Stress Scale-L (TSSL) to measure stress producers, coping mechanisms, and stress symptoms.
  • Employed statistical analyses to compare stress measures across different demographic and job classification groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences in stress measures were observed between sexes.
    • Variations in stress levels, age groups, and job classifications showed significant associations with stress producers, coping mechanisms, and stress symptoms.
    • The TSSL effectively differentiated stress experiences across the studied professional subgroups.

    Conclusions:

    • Perceived stress is not uniform across professionals and is significantly influenced by sex, age, and job role.
    • These findings highlight the need for tailored stress management strategies considering individual and occupational characteristics.
    • Further research should explore the underlying mechanisms driving these observed differences in stress perception.
