Notes: Poor gastrointestinal condition, constipation or diarrhea, poor appetite, and low back pain were assessed as single items scored on a four-point scale (1-4); the remaining variables were Brief Job Stress Questionnaire domain scores calculated from multiple items. Differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05. p- Values were calculated using Student’s t test, and ESs are presented as Cohen’s d.

ES: effect size; SD: standard deviation.
