WORKER STRESS LEVEL WITH FUNCTIONAL REARRANGEMENT AND READAPTATION IN A PUBLIC STATE UNIVERSITY

ABSTRACT This study aimed to identify the stress level of functionally rearranged and readapted workers of a public state university. It was a cross-sectional study performed with 92 government employees. Data were collected through a characteristics questionnaire and the Perceived Stress Scale. The results showed that 73.9% of workers were female, 57.6% had secondary education, 71.7% were married, and 59.8% had repetitive strain injury/work-related musculoskeletal disorder. The overall mean stress level was 22.6 points; workers in technical functions (24.6 points) and workers who suffered falls (28.2 points) had higher stress levels. Based on these results, the highest level of stress were concluded to affect female workers who suffered falls.
