Background/Objectives: International studies state that older adults are at an increased risk of mental health symptoms and disorders (depression, anxiety, and stress), especially elderly women aged >65 years. The literature on this topic is scarce, and there is a need for studies that investigate the associations between mental health issues and overall health in elderly women. This study aimed to investigate depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms in elderly women in association with health status. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Klaipeda, Lithuania, in 2020. The survey included elderly women (n = 306) aged 65 to 80 years studying at the Third Age University in Klaipeda city. The DASS-21 and SHSQ-25 scales were used for the survey. Associations and correlations between both scale indicators were calculated. Results: Sociodemographic factors such as age, marital status, and place of residence were not statistically significant in terms of mental health, except for women living alone, who had slightly lower levels of depressive symptoms (p = 0.015). Mental health issues were quite common; almost half of the participants had higher than normal levels of anxiety (49.0%) and depression (48.4%), and one-third (29.8%) experienced stress. A strong positive correlation was observed between mental health symptoms and physical health, with anxiety having the greatest effect size on fatigue (Cohen’s d = 0.950, p < 0.001), cardiovascular symptoms (Cohen’s d = 0.757, p < 0.001), and mental status (Cohen’s d = 1.036, p < 0.001). Depressive symptoms had a large effect size on fatigue (Cohen’s d = 0.764, p < 0.001) and mental status (Cohen’s d = 0.816, p < 0.001), while stress had a moderate effect size on all health domains. Conclusions: The findings highlight that anxiety symptoms are a major contributor to mental health conditions and overall health in elderly women. This study’s results emphasise the need for targeted interventions to address mental health challenges in elderly women.

Background/Objectives: Seafarers are a particularly isolated workforce, as they are on-site only with their colleagues, both on and off duty. Long-term duties in the sea environment, irregular working hours, changing time zones, and lack of sleep are some of the many factors that negatively affect the physical and mental health of seafarers. This study aimed to explore the occupational stressors faced by seafarers in Lithuania using the HSE Management Standards Indicator Tool (HSE-MSIT). Methods: In 2023, a quantitative study, using a paper survey, of seafarers’ occupational stressors was conducted in Klaipeda city, Lithuania. A total of 385 Lithuanian seafarers participated in the study. Results: The greatest sources of stress at work were identified as changes at work, relationships, peer support, and management support. Role clarity, demands, and work control were not strong stressors for the seafarers. Analysis of perceived stress levels revealed notable differences between groups with different work experience and job positions. Analysis of years of service (0–11 years vs. 12+ years) found that seafarers with shorter service experienced more stress in terms of demands (p = 0.005), role clarity (p = 0.004), work control (p = 0.035), and relationships (p = 0.02). Based on job position (senior vs. junior), junior seafarers experienced significantly higher stress in the demands (p = 0.001) and role clarity (p = 0.009) subscales. The study revealed that job position and years of work had weak negative correlations with stress indicators at work. The Demands subscale was moderately positively correlated with relationships and change at work. The Relationships subscale was moderately positively correlated with peer support and change at work. Role clarity was moderately negatively correlated with change at work and relationships. Conclusions: Overall, changes at work, relationships, peer support, and management support in the working environment emerged as key factors of perceived stress among seafarers. Junior seafarers and seafarers with shorter years of service experienced higher stress at work. These findings may help in the development of targeted stress management and training strategies tailored to different profiles of seafarers.

Background/Objectives: Occupational stress among police officers has been widely studied internationally, yet little is known about how stressors manifest in smaller, post-transition European contexts such as Lithuania. The study aimed to identify key occupational stressors among Lithuanian police officers and to examine how stress patterns differ by gender, job position, and years of service, using a multidimensional framework of organizational and interpersonal factors. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2024–2025 among 381 police officers from five randomly selected Lithuanian police stations. Participants completed the validated Lithuanian version of the Health and Safety Executive Management Standards Indicator Tool (HSE-MSIT). Seven domains of occupational stress were analyzed: job demands, managerial and peer support, relationships, organizational change, work control, and role clarity. Statistical analyses included Mann–Whitney U test, univariate ANOVA, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with multi-group invariance testing. Results: The CFA supported a second-order structure of job stress, although model fit indices showed moderate adequacy (CFI = 0.768, TLI = 0.751). Managerial support, change at work, and peer support were the strongest contributors to the overall stress construct. While gender-related differences were minimal, officers with longer tenure reported lower job demands and greater role clarity. Junior officers expressed a more positive perception of feedback from managers and organizational changes. Measurement invariance tests revealed some item-level non-invariance, suggesting that group comparisons should be interpreted with caution. Conclusions: Occupational stress among Lithuanian police officers is primarily shaped by organizational rather than individual factors. Enhancing managerial competence, communication transparency, and peer-support mechanisms could substantially improve officers’ psychological well-being and resilience within law enforcement institutions.
