Thematic analysis of the role of communication in job stress of petrochemical industry employees based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model: a qualitative study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundJob stress is one of the common problems in workplaces. This problem is more severe in the petrochemical industry, because working conditions are difficult, stressful, and sometimes dangerous. In such an environment, the way employees and managers communicate can increase or decrease stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of workplace communication in the job stress of petrochemical employees. The PRECEDE-PROCEED model was used for this purpose.
methodsThis research was conducted qualitatively. A total of 29 petrochemical employees participated in the study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and group discussions, and individuals were selected purposefully. After data collection, participants' statements were first examined freely, and then the results were categorized based on different parts of the PRECEDE-PROCEED model.
findingsData analysis showed that workplace communication affects job stress in different ways. Several themes and subthemes were identified: some related to individual factors and the quality of communication, some to workplace conditions and communication facilities, and others to feedback and the type of relationships in the organization. Most participants believed that poor and inappropriate communication was one of the main reasons for increased psychological stress in the workplace.
conclusionThe results indicate that communication plays an important role in the experience of job stress among petrochemical workers. The use of the PRECEDE-PROCEED model helped to better and more clearly understand this issue. These findings can be useful for designing programs that help reduce stress and improve employee health.
