Excessive demands coupled with a lack of decision-making power can lead to job strain.

Release date: 2004-05-18 - 20. Stress, health and the benefit of social support ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20030016763Geography: CanadaDescription:
While almost all Canadians reported stress in 1994/95, women were more likely than men to do so, and they reacted to a wider range of stressors. Stress was related to psychological distress and a number of health problems, both short- and long-term. The impact of stress on psychological well-being may be buffered by emotional support as will be demonstrated in this article.

This study describes trajectories of health-related quality of life (HRQL) in relation to smoking status. A specific focus is a comparison between former and never-smokers, with the aim of quantifying the time required after quitting for the HRQL of former smokers to be similar to that of never-smokers. An important advantage to the analysis was the availability of longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, which collected information from survey participants every two years over a 16-year period.

Release date: 2008-03-18 - 4. Depression at work ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200711113198Geography: CanadaDescription:
Worldwide, depression is the leading cause of years lived with disability. It can affect many aspects of life, including work. In fact, the impact of depression on job performance has been estimated to be greater than that of chronic conditions. In 2002, almost 4% of employed Canadians aged 25 to 64 had had an episode of depression in the previous year. These workers had high odds of reducing work activity because of a long-term health condition, having at least one mental health disability day in the past two weeks, and being absent from work in the past week. In addition, depression was associated with reduced work activity and disability days two years later.
