Description

The psycho-stress is three aspects of safety leadership were put to test as modifiers of the association between safety performance and symptoms of psychosocial stress.

The present COVID-19 pandemic appears to have worsened parental work stress and poor mental health. Both psychosocial work stress as a result of a spillover effect from the workplace to the family and signs of poor mental health as a result of a crossover effect from parent to child can be detrimental to parent-child relationships. Long-term effects on the child's development could result from this.

The findings of this study conducted during the early COVID-19 epidemic in Germany demonstrate the significance of both preventative and therapeutic strategies for psychosocial work stress, which may have detrimental effects on family connections. Additionally, the findings imply that it is crucial to educate both employers and employees about the significance of psychosocial work stress because it can negatively affect mental health, which in turn may have a significant impact on family connections.

Regarding a specific person, stress can transfer from one area of life to another, such as when it does so from one domain (job) to another (family). High work expectations are said to prohibit parents from spending a lot of time with their children, resulting in strained family ties. Studies have indicated that work-family conflict, which is defined as the incompatibility between work and family, is related to workplace stress, job demands, and work features.

Further research is required to determine any potential connections between the family and work domains in a novel situation like the COVID-19 pandemic. In a community sample of mothers and fathers, this study seeks to investigate the relationship between psychosocial work stress and parent-child attachment. It is expected that greater work stress is linked to weaker parent-child bonds and that greater work stress is linked to a higher score of aggression and depressive symptoms. Additionally, it is believed that a higher score of aggressiveness and depressive symptoms is linked to a worse parent-child bond.

The self-rating Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire (ERI) was used to measure psychosocial work stress. Chronic workplace stress is quantified as an imbalance between high levels of effort put out for the job, such as strong work performance, and low rewards, such as limited prospects for promotion. It has three subscales: Over commitment, reward, and effort. The German short version with the effort and reward subscale was utilized in this investigation.

Ten items-four of which are inverted are rated on a Likert scale from 1 (strongly agree) to 4 (strongly disagree). The ranges of the three-item effort scale, the seven-item reward scale, which reads "Considering all my efforts and successes, my salary/ income is adequate," are 3 to 12 and 7 to 28, respectively. High scores on each scale correspond to high effort and reward. The cumulative scores of these ratings were recorded for the analysis. By dividing effort by reward and multiplying the result by the proportion of the items, which was three out of seven, the overall quotient was determined.

The statistical analysis software IBM SPSS Statistics was used for all calculations (Version 27). The sample's demographic characteristics (sex, age, and job status), potential confounders, as well as the predictor and outcome variables, were all subjected to descriptive analysis. To find confounders for the regression model that were statistically significant, Pearson and Kendall- Tau-b correlation studies were carried out.

In order to look into potential correlations between psychosocial work stress, psychological health indicators (depression and aggression symptoms), and parent-child attachment, linear regression analyses were calculated. Coefficients of standardized regression were computed. To look for potential differences, the regression analyses were run both with and without potential confounders. In order to examine the mediation effect of psychological health factors (depression symptoms and aggression) between psychosocial work stress and parent-child attachment, mediation analyses were lastly were out. To look into potential differences, the mediation analyses were run twice, once without the potential confounders and once with them.
