Health Effects ::
Clinically speaking, job stress is a set of harmful physical and
psychological responses that occur when the requirements of the job do not match
the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker.
The response to stressful conditions is triggered by the brain,
which prepares the body for defensive action. Signals are sent to the body to
sharpen the senses, increase pulse, deepen respiration, and tense the muscles.
The response is preprogrammed biologically and is known as the fight or flight
response. Occasional episodes of stress are normal and pose little danger
because the body returns to equilibrium after the stress passes. But when
stressful situations persist, the body is kept in a constant state of
activation. This prolonged response results in fatigue or damage to the body. It
can no longer repair and defend itself as before. As a result, the risk of
disease and injury escalates. In fact, health care expenditures are nearly 50%
greater for workers who report high levels of stress. It’s now widely believed
that job stress increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, certain
psychological disorders, and musculoskeletal disorders of the back and upper
extremities. Stress may also exacerbate existing health problems and interfere
with their treatment.
