Background and Objectives:The UK Health and Safety Institute believes that the factors that cause occupational stress can be examined in the form of set of management standards such as demand areas, changes, support from officials, support from colleagues, communication, control and role. The current research was conducted with the aim of investigating the seven areas that cause occupational stress and its relationship with the occupational performance of Saveh Medical Sciences employees during the Covid-19.
Methods: This research is an applied and cross-sectional research. The census method was used in the present research. The number of research samples is 316 people. The employees of the Health Department of Saveh Faculty of Medical Sciences were selected in 2022. To investigate the management of occupational stress and the performance of the employees, the standard questionnaires for occupational stress assessment (HSE) and the Patterson performance assessment were used, respectively. Data analysis was performed using SPSS26software.
Results: The results of this study showed that with the increase in the total score of occupational stress management as well as the areas of role, demand and changes, the total score of occupational performance of health workers increased significantly (P<0.001), while this relationship for the variables of the relationship area (06P=0.00), the support of officials (P=0.82), the support of colleagues(P=0.28) and control (P=0.18) were not significant. After adjusting the confounding effect of 7 areas on job performance, the role variable significantly had the greatest impact on the changes in employees' performance scores (P<0.001).
Conclusion: The demand domain score probably indicates that high work pressure and increased working hours have a significant impact on employee stress. Therefore, it is suggested that the workload and schedule be adjusted to the capacity, working conditions, and ability of employees through a review of organizational planning.
