Detailed Description

This proposed longitudinal study aims to examine the relationship between personality traits, burnout, and hypertension in bank employees in South-eastern Nigeria, where hypertension is a significant public health issue. The study will involve bankers as participants, who will be asked to complete self-report questionnaires and measure their blood pressure over four weeks. The research seeks to determine if personality differences and burnout levels contribute to hypertension risk in this population. By understanding the role of psychosocial factors in hypertension risk, the study hopes to provide recommendations for workplace adjustments that could improve employee well-being and reduce hypertension risk among Nigerian bank employees.
