Multiple linear regression analysis was used to demonstrate whether the
investigated health-related variables and outcomes significantly contribute to
the frequency of perceived stress. Results are presented in Table 4. Variables in-
cluded in the model explained 28% of the variability of the frequency of per-
ceived stress. Having worse self-rated health, having experienced more health
problem in the past month, being absent from work due to illness more days,
being employee of an organisation that has implemented fewer stress manage-
ment interventions was significantly associated with higher frequency of per-
ceived stress even after controlling for organisation, age and gender.
