Abstract

Job stress and sexual satisfaction are relevant issues in the modern society. Those ones can change notably the life quality of health workers. Also, it is pointed out that health workers are a set of people that has not been studied deepen. This work aimed to determine the job stress and sexual satisfaction in health workers. It was carried out quantitative research of correlational scope with a non-experimental cross-sectional design. The sample selected had 100 workers of health industry that were selected through a non-probabilistic sampling. The sample was conformed of 40% men and 60% women. It was evaluated two kinds of test, the first one was job stress through the scale job stress of the ILO -WHO, and the second one was the new sexual satisfaction scale (NSSS). The results identified a predominant pattern of job stress and a medium level of sexual satisfaction. The sexual satisfac tion results did not show meaningful differences based on the statistics between men and women (t (98.0) = -1.56, p >0.05). In addition, it is worth to mention that job stress and sexual satisfaction follow a slightly relation between both (Rho= -0.427 p < .001). Finally, it was concluded that the higher job stress is, the less sexual satisfaction is.
