The relationship of stress work with psychosomatic disorders. A comparative study of Tonic Foundation workers.

Abstract

The research aims to find out the level of suffering of Tonic Foundation workers from work stress and psychosomatic disorders, and if there are differences in the mean degrees of work stress and psychosomatic disorders due to gender and professional seniority, as well as to know whether there is a relationship between stress work and psychosomatic disorders. For this purpose, we used the stress work test of Karasek (1985), and the scale of psychosomatic disorders of Ubriche and Fitgerald (1990). After verifying their psychometric properties, they were applied to a sample consisting of (335) male and female workers. The results showed that females suffer from psychosomatic disorders more than males, and there are no differences in the mean stress and psychosomatic disorders due to the professional seniority. And that there is a significant relationship between stress work and psychosomatic disorders
