Abstract [sv]

Stressrelaterad ohälsa ökar i det svenska arbetslivet och kognitiva faktorer som metakognition har föreslagits som en möjlig förklaring. Denna kvantitativa tvärsnittsstudie undersökte sambandet mellan olika metakognitiva strategier och upplevd stress. 110 yrkesverksamma personer deltog och besvarade följande två självskattningsformulär, Metacognitions Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30) och Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10). Pearsons korrelationsanalys och multipel regressionsanalys användes för att analysera sambanden.

Resultaten visade att tre av fem metakognitiva delskalor var signifikanta prediktorer för upplevd stress i arbetslivet. Det var positiva föreställningar om oro, och negativa föreställningar om okontrollerbarhet var positivt relaterade till upplevd stress, medan kognitiv självmedvetenhet visade ett negativt samband. Övriga delskalor visade ingen signifikant effekt. Resultaten fördjupar tidigare antaganden om att metakognition alltid är skyddande och belyser istället vikten av vilken typ av metakognitiv strategi som används. Studien bidrar med psykologisk förståelse för stressens inre process och har praktisk relevans för stresshantering i yrkeslivet.

Abstract [en]

Work-related stress is increasing in Sweden and cognitive factors such as metacognition have been suggested as key contributors. This quantitative cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between specific metacognitive strategies and perceived stress in today's work life. A total of 110 participants completed the Metacognitions Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30) and the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10). Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted.

Results showed that three of the five metacognitive subscales were significant predictors of perceived stress; positive beliefs about worry and negative beliefs about uncontrollability and danger were positively associated with stress, while cognitive self-consciousness showed a negative association. The other two subscales were not significant. These findings challenge the assumption that greater metacognitive awareness always reduces stress, suggesting instead that the type of metacognitive belief is critical. The study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of stress as an internal psychological process and offers implications for targeted workplace stress interventions.
