Mental workload and job boredom proneness in female health care providers

Health care providers (HCPs) are experts in health field and recruited by heath centers to provide health care services to target groups like infants, children, teenagers, adults, elderly, and pregnant women. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a heathy work environment is a place where workers and managers cooperate using a continuous improvement process to preserve and improve health, safety and welfare of the personnel [1]. Several studies have been conducted on health care providers. Their results have shown that HCPs have been under severe work pressures like tight schedule, low social support at work, heavy workload, and dealing with numerous clients [2-4]. Heath care providers are under considerable work pressure and this causes severe anxiety, burnout, and physical and mental diseases [5-7]. Mental workload (MWL) is one of the main issues of ergonomics and engineering of humanistic factors. The new technologies have enabled individuals to have less physical activity, while people at work deal with tasks of high cognitive demand. Therefore, it is essential to perceive how MWL affects performance [8]. Workload is defined as the total load of work that an individual or a group of individuals need to handle in a specific time frame. The general concept of workload has to do with mental capabilities of an individual who receives and processes information and makes a decision or takes an action afterwards [9]. Workload is not limited to physical tasks and encompasses cognitive tasks as well. The evaluation of the workload experienced by (HCPs) is highly essential. It is notable that stressors can affect how the excessive workload is managed [10]. Heavy workload degrades occupational satisfaction, lowers motivation, and decreases capability not to mention the negative effects on communicational performance. These negative consequences have an indirect effect on employees’ performance [11]. Park (2013) studied nurses and showed that work accidents and MWL might increase the probability of cognitive failures [12]. To measure physical or mental workload pilots, NASA TLX index was designed and what makes it popular in research areas is that it is an easy tool to administer. Comparing to other techniques to rank MWL, NASA TLX yields more accurate analyses [13]. Job boredom is defined as relatively constant feelings caused by lack of interest or obstacles to concentrate on tasks in hand. Such feelings make the individual to have extensive intentional attempts to concentrate on the task [14]. Of the main outcomes of job boredom proneness (JBP) are attention problems [15]. With experiencing job boredom, individuals start to complain about inability to concentrate on tasks and that they have to try harder to stay concentrated. A key factor in JBP is the attempt to stay concentrated [16]. Researchers like Kass et al. have found a significant relationship between JBP and cognitive failure, which is defined as one’s failure to handle the tasks that they can easily handle in a normal condition. Cognitive failure encompasses perception, memory, and performance disorders [17]. Teixeira (2013) showed that 77% of workers had a high level of job burnout [18].
