Investigation of Work-Related Stress and Coping Strategies Among Factory Workers: A Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study

Öz

This study aims to determine the levels of work stress among employees, identify their coping methods, and examine the differences between these factors and the employees' various characteristics. This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted at Yataş Mattress and Quilt Factory in Kayseri, Turkey, with the participation of 428 workers. Socio-demographic questions the Job Stress Scale, and the Coping Styles Scale were used as data collection tools. The statistical analyses included the unpaired t-test, one-way ANOVA test (post hoc Fisher LSD test), and Pearson's chi-square test. Statistical significance was considered for p-values below 0.05. The mean job stress score of the study group was 30.4 ± 5.1, with 53.0% of workers classified as stressed and 47.0% as highly stressed. The workers on daytime shifts and those with moderate self-perceived health reported significantly higher stress scores. The proportion of highly stressed workers was higher among the 18-30 age group. The most frequently used coping strategies were religious coping, planning and positive reinterpretation while the least used strategies were substance use, behavioral disengagement and humor. The job stress levels among factory workers are notably high. Supporting employees psychosocially and economically could help reduce work-related stress and enable more effective coping.
