摘要：Stress assessment in the workplace has been focused on its environmental, psychological and biological aspects. We carried out an evaluation of the subjective components of stress in a working population of 60 subjects employed in a large Public Service, 30 Video Display Terminal (VDT) workers (15 men and 15 woman) and 30 office-workers not assigned to VDT (15 men and 15 woman), by using the "Rapid Stress Assessment Scale": a short questionnaire of easy administration in work environment. VDT workers of both sexes showed higher total stress score vs. office workers (respectively p<0.05, p<0.05). Gender differences were present: female VDT workers showed higher scores of clusters anxiety (p<0.001) and aggressiveness (p<0.05); male VDT workers' score were significantly higher in somatization (p<0.05) and aggressiveness cluster. Our results showed that in VDT workers are experienced greater subjective response to stress than "office workers" and confirm the gender differences in stress experiencing.
