Evaluation of Work Stress and Smoking Addiction in Individuals Applying to the Occupational Diseases Clinic

Öz

Objective: In the work environment, individuals are exposed to many risks, including chemical, physical, and psychosocial risks. Psychosocial risks are more difficult to assess than physical and chemical risks due to their abstract nature. Psychosocial factors cause employees to experience high levels of stress, deteriorate their physical and psychological health, and lead to habits such as smoking. In our study, we aimed to determine the relationship between work stress and smoking, individual characteristics, and health status in individuals who applied to the Occupational Diseases Clinic. Material and Methods: Our study was planned as a prospective survey study. Our study included 107 participants who applied to the Occupational Diseases Clinic of Sakarya Training and Research Hospital between 7 October 2024 and 7 August 2025 and who agreed to answer the survey questions. The questionnaire was administered face to face to those who accepted the survey. The first part of the survey included sociodemographic characteristics, the second part included the 17-question Swedish Workload-Control-Support Questionnaire (Job Stress Scale), and the third part included the Fagerström Nicotine Dependence Test, which is administered only to smokers. Results: A total of 107 people, 24 women and 83 men, participated in our study. 60.8% of the participants were over 40 years of age. Participants who were active smokers smoked an average of 14.5 cigarettes per day. The mean job stress score was 1.12 ± 0.24. Job stress scores were higher in women. Job stress scores were higher in those exposed to ergonomic risks. Job stress scores were higher in those with occupational diseases. Job stress scores were higher in those with a history of workplace accidents. Job stress scores were higher in shift workers. No significant difference was observed in job stress scores between active smokers and non-smokers. Conclusion: There are many risk factors that negatively impact human health in work environments. Reducing risk factors to levels that will not harm employees is a multifaceted issue, both individually and managerially. Psychosocial risks cause stress in individuals and negatively affect their health, social life, habits, and workplace performance. Therefore, it is necessary to identify psychosocial risks in the work environment and take measures to minimize the impact on individuals.
