Resumen
MAMANI-BENITO, Óscar et al. Financial stress as perceived job loss potential in Peru during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.4, pp.371-379. Epub 13-Mar-2023. ISSN 3020-1160.
Introduction:
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused insecurity in many aspects, mainly because of the possibility of losing one's job.
Objective:
To determine whether financial stress was associated with the perception of losing one's job in Peru during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Material and Methods:
Analytical cross-sectional study, in which 507 respondents participated. The main variable was obtained from a validated survey measuring job insecurity, which was crossed with financial stress and other socio-labor variables.
Results:
In the multivariate analysis, those with financial stress had greater job insecurity (RPa: 2.46; 95%CI: 2.20-2.75; p-value<0.001), while the younger the age, the greater the job insecurity (RPa: 0.992; 95%CI: 0.985-0.999; p-value=0.024), adjusted for marital status and type of work.
Conclusion:
The strong association between financial stress and job insecurity is confirmed. This finding may have repercussions on the occupational health of workers, generating an inadequate work environment.
