Predictors of Job Satisfaction and Association with Psychological Distress Among Academic Medicine Faculty in Kazakhstan.

The growing concern for the faculty's well-being is allied with the emotionally demanding nature of teaching, which has an adverse effect on physical and mental health. There is abundant evidence that academic medicine faculty are subjected to high rates of dissatisfaction, distress, burnout, and turnover among medical educators. This study is dedicated to the exploration of the association between job satisfaction and psychological distress among academic medicine faculty in Kazakhstan. The observational cross-sectional study was conducted among medical educators in Kazakhstan between 1 October and 25 December. The survey was completed by 715 representatives of academic medicine staff. The sample size was calculated by Epi Info Sample Size Calculator, version 7.0. Multinomial logistic regression analysis using the forced entry procedure was applied to identify the factors associated with job satisfaction. The prevalence of job satisfaction, depression, anxiety, and stress was 19.2%, 40.6%, 41.3%, and 53%, respectively. Three variables were significantly associated with job satisfaction: having a partner (AOR=0.79; 95% CI 0.38-1.659), having work experience of 5-10 years (AOR=0.32; 95% CI 0.14-0.74), and holding a Ph.D. degree (AOR=0.40; 95% CI 0.18-0.91). Job satisfaction was significantly associated with depression (p=0.005) and stress (p<0.001). Compared to previous research in this area, our findings reported a higher prevalence of psychological distress and dissatisfaction. Potential reason for higher rates of dissatisfaction may be the global disruption due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Stress begets distress: the association of job stress with psychological distress among prison police officers

ABSTRACT In comparison to other professions, prison police officers encounter elevated levels of job-related stress and a greater prevalence of mental health problems. This study seeks to investigate how job-related stress among prison guards related to their psychological distress, a significant indicator of mental health concerns. Taking a resource-based perspective, this study presents a cross-level moderated mediation model to explore the underlying mechanism of the stress-distress relationship. Multi-level and multi-timepoint data were gathered from 306 male prison police officers who were organized into 54 teams within a single prison located in Jiangxi Province, China. The findings indicate that job-related stress among prison police officers is positively associated with their psychological distress. More specifically, job-related stress was found to lead to distress by increasing rumination and decreasing resilience among prison guards. Nevertheless, no evidence was found to support the cross-level moderating effect of perceived organizational support (POS). These findings can contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between job-related stress and mental health, offering valuable insights for the development of psychological interventions within correctional facilities. The study is limited by the uniqueness of the participant group, underscoring the need for future research to validate these findings in diverse populations.

Exploring workplace mental health: educator perspectives and factors in the medical education system – a mixed method study

IntroductionThe present study aimed to assess the status of workplace mental health from the viewpoints of educators, and explore their experiences concerning influential factors on occupational mental health at Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences.MethodsThe study was a sequential mixed-method study that was conducted in quantitative and qualitative phases. In the quantitative phase, the perception of educators (n = 205) was assessed by a Workplace Mental Health Questionnaire, including 37 items in 9 categories (including an opportunity to control, an opportunity to use skills, external goals created, environmental diversity, environmental clarity, access to money, physical security, opportunity to contact others, and valuable social status and position). In the qualitative phase, data were collected using semi-structured interviews (n = 21) and were analyzed based on the conventional content analysis approach.ResultsThe results showed that the status of workplace mental health of educators was at a moderate level (mean (± SD) = 115.87 (±3.21). The highest and lowest scores of the median were reported in the domains of “opportunity for control” (median = 4) and “opportunity to contact others” (median = 2.75), respectively. The theme of “contrast between preferences and disappointments in the development path” with two categories including “induced demotivation of system elements” and “tendencies of promotion” was explored from the educators’ perspective.ConclusionThe results indicated the moderate level of mental health of educators was influenced by the contrast between preferences and disappointments in the development path. The tendency of educators for promotion was explored as a positive factor in the mental health of educators in the academic environment. A growing desire for creative advancement among educators as a personal factor and a demand to stay updated with all developments as a system factor explained the positive experiences of educators in the university. The results showed the gap between the current situation and the desired state of occupational mental health may result from cultural challenges, lack of adherence to professionalism at the personal level (non-compliance with the principles of well-being and excellence), and interpersonal level (non-compliance with respect, justice, etc.). Moreover, factors disrupting occupational mental health at the system level explored in job stress, a resilient culture, lack of managerial support, ingratitude, lack of reward-effort matching mechanism, and lack of resources.

Relationship between occupational stress and presenteeism status among workers in small and medium-sized enterprises

This study aimed to identify characteristics of workers experiencing health problems without a decline in labor productivity to address presenteeism. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 554 workers in Japan, with a median age of 43 years. Participants reported any health problems in the past month, along with job stressors, stress responses, social support, and job and life satisfaction using the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire. They were categorized into three groups: “no symptoms,” “pre-presenteeism” (health problems without work impact), and “presenteeism” (health problems with work impact). Results showed that 30.1% were in “prepresenteeism” and 52.0% in “presenteeism.” Stress responses and social support were linked to both “pre-presenteeism” and “presenteeism,” while job stressors and job and life satisfaction were only associated with “presenteeism.” These findings offer insights for preventing presenteeism.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the effect of the Diamond Justice model on self-efficiency with the mediating role of job stress among the staff of Qazvin hospitals affiliated with Qazvin University of Medical Sciences. This study is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study conducted among the staff of Qazvin hospitals affiliated with Qazvin University of Medical Sciences in 2020. Design/methodology/approach Sampling was performed using the structural equation method. Data collection tools included three sections: demographic information, justice and self-efficiency questionnaire and job stress questionnaire. Data were finally analyzed using SPSS software version 26 and AMOS version 23 at a significance level of 0.05. Findings The structural equation model’s standard estimation coefficients show that all existing paths are at a significant level. Finally, the regression analysis showed that justice is inversely related to stress level (ß = −0.185, p = 0.015). Justice is directly related with self-efficiency (ß = 0.282, p &lt; 0.001). Originality/value Justice, stress and self-efficacy have been measured in various studies among health workers. However, a fitting model showing these three variables’ interaction was necessary. Therefore, this study tries to conceptualize the multifaceted relationships of the components of these concepts by presenting a model.
