Methods: A literature review was conducted on November 23, 2020 through searches on the PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases to find all published observational studies evaluating the relationship between salivary cortisol and work-related stress. Results: After screening using inclusion criteria and reducing the duplication of articles, 5 articles were obtained. Conclusion: it can be concluded that the salivary cortisol test tool can be used as an additional objective examination in order to check stress conditions in workers, in addition to a subjective examination like a questionnaire or anamnesis on workers. It is used for a biomonitoring effect and susceptibility biomonitoring.
