This paper discusses how high job strain and low job control is associated with a change in weight for all workers, no matter their age, gender, or profession. High job strain and low control cause stress for workers, which in turn can lead them to change their eating habits. The more stress the worker is under the unhealthier food they start consuming. Modest weight gain on its own is not too bad. However, high stress with little control in changing the situation often leads to obesity. Obesity can cause many health problems.

Some coping mechanisms include engaging in physical activities, and getting support from others like their co-workers to help them de-stress after work.

Dialysis work can be very rewarding. However, at times, it can also be full of stress and strain. According to Kersten et al. (2014), the primary reason for this stress and strain is due to the day-to-day contact with the same chronically ill patients with compounding medical issues. Also, a contributing factor is the corporate squeeze the higher management puts on its employees to increase productivity with less manpower and resources. This pressure is due to the lack of efficiency by most dialysis units (Ozgen and Ozcan 2002). The importance of the findings of this study relates directly to the fact that the number of patients needing dialysis is thought to significantly rise in the future. An increase in complex disease processes leading to renal failure, such as diabetes, will lead to this potential growth. Therefore, it is vital that direct patient care employees in dialysis remain encouraged and emotionally strong so they can remain in their occupation for as long as feasible.
