Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
"Women develop these anxiety disorders at approximately twice the rate that men do and we really don't have a good explanation for why that happens," says Felmingham. The primary objective of the present study is to assess the impact of out-of-home employment on anxiety levels of both married and unmarried women. The current study was conducted on working women of Dilla region of Ethiopia on total of 146 women in which 84 respondents are married and the rest 62 are unmarried. In the present study working married women were compared with unmarried working women in respect to their anxiety levels, measured by using Zung Self-Assessment Anxiety Scale. Zung Self-Assessment Anxiety Scale is a 20-item self-report assessment questioner built to measure anxiety levels. From the present analysis, it can be concluded that in overall respondents, 74.65% are normal with no anxiety and 21.24% are mild to moderate anxiety levels and 4.11% marked to severe anxiety levels and there is no respondents with extreme anxiety levels. It is also observed that the level of anxiety is high in married women compared to unmarried women
