Childcare arrangements significantly influence the stress levels of these mothers, especially for those working in general and shift duty roles. Understanding the impact of various childcare options is crucial to formulating supportive policies that improve the well-being of working mothers. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 60 working mothers (30 in general duty and 30 in shift duty) with children under 10 years in Dispur community, Guwahati. A non-probability convenient sampling technique was employed. Data were collected using a standardized parental stress scale and analyzed through descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and Chi-square tests. Results: The findings revealed that working mothers who relied on family members for childcare experienced the lowest stress levels (mean score 35.4), while those using part-time nannies experienced the highest stress levels (mean score 74.6). Significant associations were found between parental stress levels and factors such as childcare arrangements, age, number of children, and job satisfaction. Conclusion: The type of childcare arrangements significantly impacts the stress levels of working mothers. Policies aimed at enhancing the availability and reliability of childcare options could alleviate stress and improve the quality of life for working mothers, particularly in shift duty roles.

To delve into this realm, a community-based cross-sectional survey was undertaken, focusing on the geriatric population. Employing a multi-stage random sampling technique, 350 individuals aged 60 years and above were selected from two Community Development Blocks in Kamrup district, Assam. Data collection involved a structured interview schedule, incorporating socio-demographic profiles through Pareek and Trivedi's socioeconomic Rural scale and an additional 25 items to assess health care service utilization among the elderly. The results highlighted a higher percentage of females (61.28%) compared to males (48.63%), with a significant portion being widows, illiterate, and unemployed. Socioeconomic class-IV accounted for the majority (62.57%) of the participants. Notably, 65.71% of the elderly moderately utilized health care services, while 24.57% inadequately accessed them. Marital status, family type, occupation, and socioeconomic class exhibited varying impacts on health care service utilization. The study underscores the pressing need to enhance the overall wellbeing of rural elderly individuals. Proposing community-based geriatric health care services, leveraging existing rural health infrastructure, emerges as a viable solution to address the needs of this demographic group.

The workforce now features a significant increase in working women, along with a rise in dual-earner and nuclear households. Despite increased female labor force participation, societal norms still burden women with primary family responsibilities, necessitating a delicate balance between career and household duties. The emergence of work-related stress as a significant concern in modern society poses unique challenges for working mothers, impacting their mental health and parenting practices. The increasing participation of women in the workforce accentuates the complexities faced by working mothers, especially in managing the unpredictability in work and stress associated with parenting young children. Recognizing the dual burdens faced by working mothers becomes imperative, necessitating effective stress management strategies for both mothers and children. Understanding the consequences of work-related stress on maternal well-being and parenting practices is vital for the development of targeted support systems and interventions, acknowledging the holistic impact on the overall functioning and well-being of both mothers and their children.

The aim of this study was to assess the level of occupational stress and job satisfaction of computer professionals in selected IT companies at Bangalore. Objectives: 1. To assess the level of occupational stress among computer professionals. 2. To assess the level of job satisfaction among computer professionals. 3. To find out the association of occupational stress, job satisfaction with socio demographic variables. Methodology: A Correlational descriptive research design and non experimental approach were carried on 100 Computer professionals working in Info bizz technologies by using convenience sampling technique. Demographic Performa, Likert 3-point rating scale to assess occupational stress and Likert 5point rating scale to assess job satisfaction were used to collect data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analysis the data. Results: The findings revealed that majority of computer professionals 49 (49 %) were above 30 years old , 62 (62 %) were Male , majority 64 (64 %) has done post graduate, 75 (75 %) were had income between 20,001-50,000, majority 51 (51 %) were married , 63 (63 %) live in urban areas, majority 70 (70 %) belongs to nuclear family, 49 (49 %) are smoker, 72 (72 %) consume alcohol, 51 (51 %) have working experience between 1-5 years, 100 (100 %) works more than 8 hours per day. With regard to the stress assessment, majority of the computer professionals 50 % had moderate stress, 22 % had mild stress and 28 % had severe stress. In Job satisfaction, majority of the computer professionals 46 % had low job satisfaction, 22 % had moderate job satisfaction and 32 % had high satisfaction. The assessment of occupational stress and job satisfaction was done by associating them with the selected demographic variables. Significant association was found between the occupational stress and age, Gender, marital status, habit of smoking, duration of smoking, consumption of alcohol, frequency of consumption of alcohol, total years of experience, work shift and total no. of working hours. With job satisfaction significant association was found between the job satisfaction and age, Gender, educational qualification, income, total years of experience, and total no. of working hours. The χ 2 formula was used in order to identify the relationship between the demographic variables. Karl Pearson coefficient of correlation analysis shows a significant relationship between occupational stress and job satisfaction among computer professionals. It is negatively correlated since the r value is-0.865, which reveals that when occupational stress increases the job satisfaction decrease. Conclusion: It seems that majority of the computer professionals had low job satisfaction.
