abstract: 'Background: the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent recession had a

  strong impact on employment and certain health indicators, such as

  mental health. Many studies carried out with diverse samples attest to

  the negative influence of stress on health. However, few studies focus

  on stress and self-rated health among the Spanish workforce, or analyse

  which variables can act as a buffer against the negative effects of

  stress on self-perceived health. Aim: to analyse the mediator role of

  social support and job satisfaction in the relationship between

  work-related stress and self-rated health among the Spanish working

  population between 2006 and 2017. Method: repeated cross-sectional study

  using Spanish Surveys from 2006 to 2017, a total of 32.105 participants

  (47.4\% women) aged 16 years and over (M = 42.3, SD = 10.7) answered a

  series of questions about work-related stress (PV), self-rated health

  (CV), job satisfaction, and social support (mediator variables) through

  the National Health Survey (NHS) prevalences of work-related stress,

  self-rated health, job satisfaction, and social support were calculated

  (standardised by age). We performed mediation/moderation analysis with

  Macro Process for SPSS to analyse the role of social support and job

  satisfaction in the relationship between self-rated health and

  work-related stress among the Spanish working population. Results: three

  mediation analyses were conducted, one for each time point in the study

  period. The results revealed a significant direct association between

  stress and job satisfaction. In the 2006 model, both job satisfaction

  and social support acted as mediators between stress and self-rated

  health, while in the 2011 and 2017 models, only job satisfaction acted

  as a mediator. The data reveal that the working population in Spain has

  a good capacity for resilience, since no drop in health indicators was

  observed. Conclusion: following the economic recession, employment has

  partially recovered. However, social and employment policies are

  required to help the population face the recent situation triggered by

  the Coronavirus crisis.'
