| description | Objective This study examined the relationships of job strain and iso-strain psychosocial work-environment exposures to health status in a cohort of working women in the United States. Methods In a cross-sectional survey, 33 689 women responded to the Karasek job content and the MOS SF-36 health status questionnaires. The psychosocial work-environment exposures were characterized using the job strain and iso-strain frameworks. Health status was assessed with the following 6 scales: physical functioning, vitality, freedom from pain, mental health, role limitations due to physical health, and role limitations due to emotional health. Results When compared with active work, high-strain work (high job demands and low job control) was associated with lower vitality, mental health, higher pain, and increased risks of both physical and emotional role limitations. Iso-strain work (high strain and low work-related social support) increased the risks further. Job insecurity was also associated with lower health status. Conclusions The analyses supported the hypothesis that the psychosocial work environment is an important determinant of health status among working women. The findings suggest that incorporating social conditions at work into the measurement of psychosocial work-environment exposure improves the identification of highrisk work arrangements. |
