For 10 years, workers have had initially expressed a high level of job strain and then said to perceive their jobs as less stressful had the same risk of developing depression than those with low-level tasks of tension.

“This suggests that interventions aimed at reducing job strain significantly reduce the risk of depression,” the team writes Jianli Wang, University of Calgary, Alberta, in American Journal of Epidemiology.

In a period of 30 days, the researchers found that 4.4% of American workers develop severe depression and stress (or tension) labor is associated with the risk of developing depression.

To investigate how changing the level of job strain in time changes the probability of a person to suffer from depression, the researchers looked at 4,866 participants in the Population Health Survey.

All participants had responded to the level of job strain in 1994-1995 and 2000-2001. The team was divided into four groups: people with low job stress in both periods, those with high job strain in both periods, people with low stress in the first period of high stress in the second and who had high stress initial work on the end.

8% of participants with high job strain had suffered permanent major depressive episode during the study, versus 4% of those with low permanent stress.

In people with less stressful jobs, the risk of developing major depression was 4.4%, as opposed to 6.9% of the group with increasingly stressful occupation.

The researchers also found that in the group with high job strain constant, only those who rated their health as good or excellent at baseline had an increased risk of developing depression. In those who had fair or good, that risk had not changed.

“These participants have accepted the reality of having poor health and being exposed to several risk factors for health,” the authors suggest. Given that the way in which employees evaluate the stress level of their work varies with frequency, the researchers say more studies are needed to measure job stress in shorter periods to better understand how stress in the workplace is associated with depression.
