Kumpula Physics Work-Related Stress Survey Findings
In a survey conducted at the HIP Helsinki Institute of Physics, responses on work-related stress factors, coping mechanisms, and seeking help were gathered. Participants indicated stress levels linked to work aspects like job description, behavior, facilities, and more. The survey also explored participants' abilities to seek help and if they had sought assistance for their stress. Interestingly, common stressors mentioned were uncertainty about the future, problems with supervisors, and mismatch between personal values and work requirements. The findings provide insights into the work environment and stress management at Helsinki University's physics department.
