Occupational Stress and Psychological Functioning among Expatriate Workers in Kuwait: A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract: Background: Employment-related and migration-related demands may affect the psychological functioning of expatriate workers in Kuwait. Objective: To describe a reported cross-sectional sample and examine the conceptual relationship of perceived stress, psychological distress and occupational self-efficacy. Methods: The source dissertation describes convenience sampling of 100 expatriate workers and assessment with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), occupational self-efficacy assessment and Brief COPE. Results: The dissertation reports mean perceived stress of 22.00 (SD 5.78), mean GHQ-12 psychological distress of 17.10 (SD 5.78) and mean occupational self-efficacy of 3.20 (SD 0.63). These statistics could not be independently recalculated from individual responses. The dissertation also contains inferential coefficients identified as simulated or incompatible across tables; accordingly, no p-values, moderation effects or predictive relationships are claimed as verified results here. Conclusion: The documented study design and summary profile support a cautious description of reported psychological indicators, but confirmation of statistical associations requires the original coded dataset and reproducible analysis output.
