| Abstract | Evidence suggests that the workplace plays an important etiologic role in blood
pressure (BP) alterations. Associations in female samples are controversial, and the
domestic environment is hypothesized to be an important factor in this relationship. This
study assessed the association between job strain and BP within a sample of female nursing
workers, considering the potential role of domestic overload. A cross-sectional study was
conducted in a group of 175 daytime workers who wore an ambulatory BP monitor for
24 h during a working day. Mean systolic and diastolic BP were calculated. Job strain was
evaluated using the Demand-Control Model. Domestic overload was based on the level of
responsibility in relation to four household tasks and on the number of beneficiaries. After
adjustments no significant association between high job strain and BP was detected.
Stratified analyses revealed that women exposed to both domestic overload and high job
strain had higher systolic BP at home. These results indicate a possible interaction between
domestic overload and job strain on BP levels and revealed the importance of domestic
work, which is rarely considered in studies of female workers. | pt_BR |
