Background: The stressful conditions of working in medical emergency and accident management centers require the study of the components of physical and mental health of employees. This study aimed to determine the status of work-related rumination and job fatigue among the staff of disaster and medical emergency management center of Alborz province.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2020 on 188 qualified employees. Demographic information questionnaire, Work-related Rumination Questionnaire (WRRQ) and Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion/ Recovery scale (OFER) were used to data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23 by applying Pearson test and multivariate and univariate General Linear Model (GLM).
Results: The mean of work-related rumination was 44.89±4.54 and the highest and lowest mean were related to the dimensions of problem-solving pondering (17.81) and affective rumination (11.68), respectively. The mean of job fatigue was estimated to be 38.44±16.05 and acute fatigue (13.65) and chronic fatigue (11.25) had the highest and lowest means, respectively. The correlation between work-related rumination and job fatigue (r= 0.276, P<0.001) and all its dimensions were direct and significant (P<0.001), also. Demographic and occupational variables explain 74% and 69% of variances of work-related rumination and job fatigue, respectively.
Conclusions: Work-related rumination and job fatigue were moderate and a direct correlation was observed between them. Given the importance of these two variables and the relationship between them, periodic monitoring of these variables and implementation of individual and organizational interventions to improve the situation is recommended. |
