Abstract

Objective: To explore the effect of occupational stress among nurses on the level of salivary " "-amylase. Methods: We carry out cross-sectional study on 145 in-service nurses chosen from 6 township hospitals of Yangzhong City with the cluster sampling method and 131 valid samples; evaluate the level of occupational stress with questionnaire method; and measure the concentration of salivary " "-amylase with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: The difference in the concentration of salivary " "-amylase among nurses at different ages and different length of service is statistically significant; baseline concentration is positively correlated with workload, role conflict, role ambiguity, and negatively correlated with task strategy, family and work relationship (P<0.05); working phase concentration is negatively correlated with task control, decision control, technology availability, logicality (P<0.05), and positively correlated with workload, job routinization, social support, job involvement (P<0.05); convalescent concentration has significantly negative correlation with job control, technology availability, task strategy (P<0.01); average concentration is negatively correlated with job control, technology availability, decision-making participation opportunities, promotion opportunities, task strategy, logicality, family and work relationship (P<0.05), and positively correlated with quantitative load, load change, workload, role ambiguity, colleague support, family support, job involvement (P<0.05). Conclusions: Occupational stress among nurses is correlated with the level of " "-amylase, and to some extent will affect the concentration of salivary " "-amylase.
