Data processing workers reported frequent memory loss, but cognitive tests showed no significant issues. Psychiatric screening revealed a strong link between memory complaints and mental health, suggesting further psychiatric analysis is needed.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • High prevalence of memory loss complaints among data processing workers.
  • Previous studies lacked comprehensive analysis of confounding factors like psychiatric conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between memory loss complaints and cognitive performance in data processing workers.
  • To assess the influence of psychiatric disorders as a confounding factor.

Main Methods:

  • Study involved 191 data processing workers in Brazil.
  • Compared cognitive test scores with memory loss complaints across different work activity groups.
  • Utilized psychiatric screening tests to identify potential confounding factors.

Main Results:

  • No significant cognitive deficits were detected despite 65.4% reporting memory loss.
  • A significant statistical association was found between memory complaints and psychiatric screening scores.

Conclusions:

  • Memory loss complaints in data processing workers may be linked to psychiatric factors rather than cognitive impairment.
  • Future research should prioritize psychiatric evaluations to understand these complaints.
