Introduction
Stress is defined by Lazarus, Folkman (1984) and
Stora (2002) as being a psychological state resulting from
the perception of an imbalance between the perceived
expectations and the self-evaluation of one's own
capacities to meet the demands of the task. . objective: to
assess the stress among workers at the Autonomous Port
of Conakry.
Materials and Methods
This was a prospective study of a descriptive type
which lasted six (06) months from 06 Jan 2020 to 06 July
2020. It focused on the workers of the Autonomous Port
of Conakry.
Results
Our study focused on 222 employees of the
Autonomous Port of Conakry who were all subordinates.
In our series, the 41-60 age group was the most
represented with 52.25% and the majority of our
respondents had a seniority of between 1-15 years or
68.46%. The employees of the Autonomous Port of
Conakry who participated in our study were mainly
82.89% men, 45.04% smokers and 12.16% alcoholics.
Conclusion: It appears that stress is a very common
condition among workers at the Autonomous Port of
Conakry. This state is mainly blamed by workers in
work-related tasks. Better work organization with a
reduction in the workload or an increase in the number
of workers would allow better management of stress
among these workers.
