Introduction: Repetitive or long-lasting activity of stressors can cause cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this paper was to assess dependence between the level of intensity of stress at work and in everyday life and the occurrence of cardiovascular disease.
Material and methods: One hundred people (50 with cardiovascular disease and 50 healthy ones) were answering the questions from the HSE survey to assess stress at work, SRRS survey to assess stressful events and Mini-COPE survey to assess coping with stress.
Results: It was stated that healthy people as well as treated people suffering from cardiovascular disease experience stress at work. However, the people from the comparison group were under less strain than the people from the test group (p=0,0044). It was also indicated that the people from the test group more often resigned from undertaking efforts to cope with a difficult situation (p=0,0459).
Conclusion: People suffering from cardiovascular disease are significantly more often under strain at work and slightly more under strain in everyday life than healthy people. Simultaneously, healthy people were coping better with stress than people with cardiovascular disease.
