Abstract:
Aims . The current study aims to examine the influence of job stress, SOC, and personality traits on depressive state. Methods . A self-reported survey was conducted among 347 female nurses in a general hospital. Job stress was measured using the Japanese version of the Brief-Job Stress Questionnaire scale. Depressive state was assessed by the K6 scale. We used 13-item SOC scale. Personality traits were assessed by the Japanese version of Ten-Item Personality Inventory. Multiple liner regression analyses were conducted to examine predictors that significantly affect depressive state. Results . Job and life satisfaction and SOC negatively related to the depressive state ( β = - 0.76 , P 〈 0.01 ; β = - 0.18 , P 〈 0.001 , resp.) while neuroticism was positively correlated ( β = 0.49 , P 〈 0.001 ). Also, intrinsic rewards tended to negatively relate ( β = - 0.80 , P 〈 0.1 ). Conclusions . From a practical perspective, the possible influence of SOC and neurotic personality on depressive state should be considered for health care professionals.
