Analysis was performed using the SPSS 23.0 version program and analyzed by ?2-test, t-test, ANCOVA and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.Findings: The results showed that the stress response was higher in the irregular workers than in the regular workers (f=11.09, ?=.001). In the stress response, the irregular workers showed higher somatic symptoms (f=6.18, ?=.013), depression (f=13.70, ?=.001) and anger (f=6.15, ?=.013) than the regular workers.
