- Stressful working conditions and poor self-rated health among financial services employees Luiz Sérgio Silva Sandhi Maria Barreto Salud Cross Workload Banking work Job Satisfaction Sectional Studies OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between exposure to adverse psychosocial working conditions and poor self-rated health among bank employees. METHODS: A cross-sectional study including a sample of 2,054 employees of a government bank was conducted in 2008. Self-rated health was assessed by a single question: “In general, would you say your health is (...).” Exposure to adverse psychosocial working conditions was evaluated by the effort- reward imbalance model and the demand-control model. Information on other independent variables was obtained through a self-administered semi- structured questionnaire. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed and odds ratio calculated to assess independent associations between adverse psychosocial working conditions and poor self-rated health. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of poor self-rated health was 9%, with no signi fi cant gender difference. Exposure to high demand and low control environment at work was associated with poor self-rated health. Employees with high effort-reward imbalance and overcommitment also reported poor self-rated health, with a dose-response relationship. Social support at work was inversely related to poor self-rated health, with a dose-response relationship. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to adverse psychosocial work factors assessed based on the effort-reward imbalance model and the demand-control model is independently associated with poor self-rated health among the workers studied. 2012 artículo científico 0034-8910 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=67240198002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=672 Revista de Saúde Pública application/pdf Universidade de São Paulo Revista de Saúde Pública (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.46
