Stress with self-efficacy & social support as predictions : Quantitative study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Besvär som är stressrelaterade ökar hos individer i deras vardag, och innefattar den största ökningen av sjukskrivningar i Sverige mellan åren 2010 - 2015. Det finns tidigare forskning som visat att det går att hitta samband mellan variablerna stress, self-efficacy som innebär hur en individs egna tilltro till sin förmåga att hantera olika situationer, samt socialt stöd. Syftet med studien var att replikera tidigare forskning genom att undersöka om det går att hitta samband mellan dessa tre variabler. För att finna svar på denna fråga så formulerades följande frågeställningar: (A) Hur ser sambanden mellan variablerna stress, self-efficacy och socialt stöd? (B) I Vilken grad kan man predicera stress med hjälp av self-efficacy och socialt stöd? (C) Har arbetslivserfarenheten någon påverkan på upplevd stress? Deltagarna i studien fick ta del av frågeformulär och bestod av 33 individer som var anställda på tre olika företag, 15 kvinnor och 18 män. Resultatet visade att stress hade ett starkt negativt samband med self-efficacy (r = -.63, p <.001). Vilket antyder att båda variablerna inte rör sig åt samma håll om man ökar standardavvikelsen med 1 för variabeln stress, utan att det istället rör sig åt olika håll. Skulle man då öka standardavvikelsen med 1 för variabeln self-efficacy så förminskas den upplevda stressen med 0.63. Det förekom ingen statistiskt signifikant skillnad mellan kön och arbetslivserfarenhet för de olika variablerna.

Abstract [en]

Stress-related disorders increases for individuals in daily life, and it represents the biggest increase of sick leave at work in Sweden between the years 2010 - 2015. There is previous research that show there is a connection between stress, self-efficacy which means how an individual’s own confidence in his ability to handle different situations and social support. The purpose of the study was to replicate previous research by examining whether it is possible to find a connection between these three variables. To find an answer to this problem these following questionswas made: (A) How is the connection between the variables stress, self-efficacy and social support? (B) To what amount can you predict stress with self-efficacy and social support? (C) Does work experience have any impact on perceived stress? The participants in the study were asked to participate in questionnaires and consisted of 33 people that was employees at three different companies, 15 women and 18 men. The results showed that stress had a strong negative correlation with self-efficacy (r = -.63 p <.001). Stress had a very weak correlation with social support but was not statistically significant, self-efficacy and social support had very weak correlation and were not statistically significant with each other. Self-efficacy was the only variable in this study that could predict stress (r = .63, p <.001). There were no statistically significant differences between genders or work experience for the three variables.
