Objective:
To estimate the prospective relationships between exposure to psychosocial risks dimensions included in the COPSOQ-Istas21 and the deterioration of general and mental health and sleep problems among workers residing in Spain.
Method:
Cohort whose baseline corresponds to the 2016 Psychosocial Risks Survey with a new measurement after one year.
Results:
Social capital and interpersonal relations and leadership dimensions, as well as work̶life conflict, were related to all health variables. Dimensions of work organization and job contents did it especially with the mental health, the quantitative demands with the general health and the emotional ones with the mental health. The dimensions related to job insecurity did not show relationships with health.
Conclusions:
The results obtained reinforce the role of the COPSOQ-Istas21 as a useful instrument for the evaluation and prevention of psychosocial risks at work.
