Background and Objectives: Sleeping is an essential part of living and poor quality sleep can lead to a variety of physical and mental disorders. On the other hand, job stress is one of the main effective factors in reducing productivity in organizations and causing physical and mental complications in personnel. The aim of this study was to determine the job stress and its association with sleep quality among employees of Bid Boland Gas Refinery, Behbahan, Iran.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, 180 employees of Behbahan Bid Boland Gas Refinery participated in 2017. The data were collected using the Osipow occupational stress questionnaire and Pittsburgh sleep quality index questionnaire. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis were used.
Results: The results of the study showed that the mean and standard deviation of job stress and sleep quality perceived by employees were 167.27±19.66 and 10.72±2.22, respectively. Furthermore, there was a positive significant correlation between these two indexes (p<0.001). The regression model demonstrated that sleep quality was significantly associated with "role insufficiency" ( =0.499, p<0.001) and "role boundary" ( =0.197, p=0.035), the dimensions of Osipow job stress questionnaire. The model coefficient of determination indicated that 30.6% of sleep quality index changes are specified by variables of role insufficiency and role boundary.
Conclusion: The results showed that there was a significant correlation between job stress and sleep quality. Therefore, it is recommended to the gas refinery authorities to design and perform some plans for reducing job stress and sleep quality problems.
