In comparison, more than 91 percent of respondents in Singapore and Thailand claimed that they suffered from stress.
Half of the respondents, who suffer from stress, said they controlled it by sharing it with family or friends.
Meanwhile, 25 percent of the respondents in Indonesia claimed that they did not suffer from stress.
Cigna Indonesia director and chief marketing officer Ben Furneaux said financial conditions and the work environment were the two main causes of stress.
“Our survey revealed several causes o f stress, including a poor relationship with a superior in the workplace and the inability to tend to parents’ needs, health and well-being,†added Furneaux. (jes/kes)
