Assessment of work associated stress in female medical house officers of Karachi with respect to age and marital status.

Cronbach’s alpha was 66.9%, age ranges of participants were 19 to 29 years with overall 44.70 ± 10.87 job stress score. Regression analysis showed that married females have 8 units more stress than unmarried females which need to address and resolve. Through correlation of factors, “high responsibility with low authority” was extremely significant (p? 0.005) in association with “lack of attention towards work, low rewards and social imbalance”, while “job instability” significantly (p? 0.05) correlates with “job dissatisfaction and self-control at work”. Principal factor analysis revealed some informative aspects like insecurity with work environment, disturbance within job, ownership of duties and mental disturbance.
