Comparison of job stress among different occupations and positions. (A, B) Nurses showed significantly higher levels of stress than doctors did. Each bar graph represents mean (SD). The radar chart for the seven subscales of the Korean occupational stress scale (KOSS) showed the stress character for each group. Significantly different subscales are marked with stars (p<0.05). (C, D) When the doctors group was analyzed further according to positions, there was no significant difference in the KOSS scores between professors and fellows. Each bar graph represents mean (SD). The radar chart for the seven subscales of the KOSS showed that “insufficient job control” was the only different subscale between these two groups. Significant differences between the subscales are marked with stars (p<0.05). ^a)p<0.01.
