A review olfthe literature on women and work-related stress was conducted to identify conclusions regarding the link betw een job conditions conducive to stress and disease outcomes, and to suggest directions fr jfiture research. Defined as an imbalance between perceived demand and pe)-ceived capability, stress is viewed as an intervening variable between conditions c(onducil'e to stress, and responses and the more enduring disease outcomes. Research findings tire inconclusilve but suggest that work may have a beneficial effect on mental health, and that certain tvpes of-jobs in combination with family responsibilities may lead to increased risk or actual development of 'cardiovascular disease. However, studies on women lacked specificity on Work environment and onfamily responsibilitieslattitudes. Future research on women should involve (I) longitudinal studies before, during and after cessation of employment, (2) specificity about job environment and family responsibilities, (3) length and continuity of exposure to potentially stressful conditions, and (4) individual perceptions and coping responses.
