Positive and Negative Affect Is Related to Experiencing Chest Pain During Exercise-Induced Myocardial Ischemia
OBJECTIVE: Silent myocardial ischemia is thought to be associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes due to a lack of perception of pain cues that initiate treatment seeking. Negative affect (NA) has been associated with increased pain reporting and positive affect (PA) with decreased pain reporting, but these psychological factors have not been examined within the context of myocardial ischemia. This study evaluated the associations between PA, …
Association Between Clinical Depression and Endothelial Function Measured by Forearm Hyperemic Reactivity
Objective: To assess associations between clinically significant depression (major depressive disorder [MDD] and minor depressive disorder [MiDD]) and endothelial function (EF), via forearm hyperemic reactivity (FHR), in patients referred for myocardial perfusion imaging. Studies have linked MDD to impaired EF, an early marker of coronary heart disease (CHD) and risk factor for cardiac events, in healthy, noncardiac patients, although no studies …
The Role of Mood Disorders in Exercise-Induced Cardiovascular Reactivity
Objective: Increased cardiovascular (CV) reactivity has been associated with worse CV prognosis. Though mood disorders (MDs) have been associated with increased CV reactivity during behavioral stressors, the extent to which MDs and their interaction with coronary heart disease (CHD) influences exercise-induced CV reactivity has not been evaluated. Methods: Five hundred twenty-six patients underwent nuclear exercise stress testing. Cardiovascular …
Stress and mental strain in hospital work
This study focuses on the relationship between job stressors and mental strain in hospital work, adjusting for differences in personality traits. Questionnaires were obtained from 760 full‐time employees. Fourteen scales of job stressors were clustered into four factors: professional latitude, clinical demands, workload problems and role difficulties. A mental strain index was derived from the addition of three sub‐scales: depression, anxiety and…
Longitudinal examination of the stability and variability of two common measures of absence
This study, conducted amongst 121 employees in two hospitals, examines sources of variability in two common measures of absence: frequency and time‐lost. Time series analyses over a five‐year span suggest substantial differences by month, season and year. More specifically, the analysis of variance of the frequency measure reveals significant differences between seasons and years and a significant season by year interaction. Peak frequencies are …

The role of personality, occupation and organization in understanding the relationship between job stress, performance and absenteeism
The relationship between job content and job context sources of stress and selected behavioural and attitudinal outcomes, absenteeism and perceived performance, was empirically examined, while controlling for differences in personality, occupation and organizational culture. Twelve hundred hospital workers were administered an occupational stress questionnaire and attendance records were collected from personnel files. Job content stress was foun…
