Objective:The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between job strain and well-being among nurses employed in Medical Centers. The Effort-Reward imbalanced model was used to examine job stress and its association with health status including bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning and mental health.
Methods:A cross-sectional survey among 4098 female clinical licensed nurses who are employed over six months. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data and the response rate was 70%.
Results:The results indicate that job stress measured by ERI model is significantly associated with five dimensions of health status including bodily pain(adjust R2 =12% , Beta=-0.18), general health(adjust R2 =19% , Beta=-0.18), vitality(adjust R2 =16% , Beta=.-0.17), social functioning(adjust R2 = 16%, Beta=-0.20) and mental health(adjust R2 =21% , Beta=-0.17) . The study support the hypothesis that the effects of overcommitment should be taken into consideration in the job stress model (Beta range from-0.17 to-0.33). Better health status is also associated with personal characteristics and working conditions including marital status, job status and the type of hospitals nurses work.
Conclusion:Results show support for the ERI model, the medical center nurses with high effort/low reward imbalance had elevated risks of poor well-being.
