World Health Organization mengakui distres sebagai penyakit epidemiologi abad 21. Distres pada dosen menjadi isu yang sering dibahas. Tuntutan Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi membuat dosen menghadapi beban kerja berat sehingga menyebabkan distres, kecemasan, dan gangguan tidur. Penelitian Carroll tahun 2022 menunjukkan lebih dari 50% tenaga pengajar di Australia mempertimbangkan untuk meninggalkan profesinya karena merasakan distres yang sangat tinggi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui gambaran tingkat distres, faktor risiko distres, dan menganalisis hubungan faktor-faktor risikonya terhadap distres pada dosen Fakultas Matematika dan Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam Universitas A tahun 2025. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dan pendekatan cross-sectional. Faktor risiko yang diteliti meliputi faktor di arena pekerjaan (beban kerja, tekanan waktu, long-working hours, ambiguitas peran, hubungan interpersonal, jabatan akademik); faktor di arena rumah (work-family conflict dan status pernikahan); faktor di arena sosial (dukungan sosial), dan faktor di arena individu (usia dan jenis kelamin). Analisis data meliputi analisis deskriptif dan inferensial. Analisis deskriptif mengungkapkan 68% dosen mengalami distres ringan, 30.9% dosen mengalami distres sedang, dan 1% dosen mengalami distres berat. Analisis inferensial mengungkapkan tekanan waktu (p = 0.000; OR = 10.4; 95% CI = 3.513-30.789), ambiguitas peran (p = 0.001; OR = 5.031; 95% CI = 1.950-12.984), hubungan interpersonal ke rekan kerja (p = 0.014; OR = 3.033; 95% CI = 1.235-7.452), work-family conflict (p = 0.000; OR = 19.456; 95% CI = 5.942-63.709), dan dukungan sosial (p = 0.004; OR = 3.675; 95% CI = 1.487-9.082) berhubungan signifikan dengan distres pada dosen FMIPA Universitas A. Universitas A disarankan untuk memperkuat sosialisasi layanan konseling, menyusun SOP yang jelas, serta menyediakan pelatihan dan dukungan teknis untuk mengurangi risiko distres pada dosen.

The World Health Organization identifies distress as a 21st-century epidemiological concern, with lecturer distress emerging as a critical issue. Heavy workloads from fulfilling the Three Pillars of Higher Education contribute to distress, anxiety, and sleep disorders among lecturers. A study by Carroll et al. in 2022 found that more than 50% of educators in Australia experienced severe distress that caused them to consider leaving the profession. This study aims to examine the levels of distress, identify its risk factors, and analyze the relationships between those risk factors and distress among lecturers at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University A in 2025. A quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach was used. Risk factors examined include work factors (workload, time pressure, long-working hours, role ambiguity, interpersonal relationships, academic rank); home factors (work-family conflict and marital status); social factors (social support); and individual factors (age and gender). Data analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive analysis showed 68% of lecturers experienced mild distress, 30.9% experienced moderate distress, and 1% experienced severe distress. Inferential analysis revealed significant associations between distress and time pressure (p = 0.000; OR = 10.4; 95% CI = 3.513-30.789), role ambiguity (p = 0.001; OR = 5.031; 95% CI = 1.950-12.984), interpersonal relationships with colleagues (p = 0.014; OR = 3.033; 95% CI = 1.235-7.452), work-family conflict (p = 0.000; OR = 19.456; 95% CI = 5.942-63.709), and social support (p = 0.004; OR = 3.675; 95% CI = 1.487-9.082). It is recommended for University A to strengthen the promotion of counselling services, establish clear SOPs, and provide training and technical support to reduce lecturers’ distress risk.
