| Abstract |
The objective of this study was to examine the association between two job stress models, namely the job strain (JDC) and the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model, and ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) among call handler operators. Participants included 74 women and 26 men who were monitored on two workdays for ambulatory blood pressure. Measures of both job stress models were related to blood pressure by the generalized estimating equations method while adjusting for potential confounders (gender, age, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, educational level, marital status, time of day, and work schedule). Findings are discussed. Overall, they do not support work stress as a significant factor influencing ABP among call handlers. |
