  RESULTS
  The effort is inversely correlated with the areas physical, psychological, level of independence, environment (p<0.01) and social relationship (p<0.05). The reward is inversely correlated with the areas and psychological (p<0.05) level of independence (p<0.01). Control over the work is directly correlated with the physical domain (p<0.05). The psychological demands are inversely correlated with the areas physical (p<0.05), psychological (p<0.01) and level of independence (p<0.01). The physical demand is inversely correlated with physical areas, level of independence, environmental (p<0.01) and psychological (p<0.05). Job insecurity is inversely correlated with the psychological fields, level of independence (p<0.05) and the environment (p<0.01). Support the supervisor is directly correlated with degree of independence (p <0.05).
