Job demand, organization system, lack of reward, and occupational climate were more significant factors for health professionals than other occupations. The psychosocial factor increased the risk of chronic disease (hypertension, coronary heart disease, and musculoskeletal disease) and psychological diseases (alcoholism, depression, anxiety), shift work, specifically, was associated with an increased risk of cancer. It is required that worksite prevention programs be established in occupational as well as individual levels.
