摘要

This article in the journal Gruppe.Interaktion.Organisation (GIO) uses empirical surveys to demonstrate how experiences with stress and screenings for common mental disorders can be combined and conducted online. Since 2013, companies have also been required to document employee mental stress. However, it is unclear how this should be done. Although online procedures are available, there are still no corresponding standards. The Stress Monitor project was carried out as part of a cooperative project with an international group and the Bavarian Civil Servants’ Association. Employees were asked to complete online questionnaires that included questions about their work situation, stress levels, and depression and anxiety disorders. After entering their data, all participants received personalized feedback and, if necessary, recommendations. The Stress Monitor was well received by the participants, and there were hardly any dropouts, partly due to the personalized feedback. After collecting data from different occupational groups as part of the project, it was possible to make comparative evaluations of the correlations between stress and strain experience and symptoms of mental disorders. In the process (> 30,000 data records), concise, group-specific patterns emerged. For instance, Group employees reported a low subjective experience of stress in relation to the number of employees experiencing symptoms of stress or illness, while teachers reported a high level of stress but were significantly healthier. Therefore, experiencing stress alone only allows for limited conclusions about the existence of a health risk. In practice, the differences between occupational groups are relevant in order to adequately assess individual results and derive individual and systemic prevention strategies. From a medical point of view, it is crucial to screen for mental disorders in addition to recording stress and strain experiences to identify any immediate need for action.
