Occupational Factors Associated With Workers' Depression, Anxiety, and General Fatigue
1From the Department of Nursing, College of Nursing, Gachon University, Incheon, Republic of Korea.
Objective:
We aimed to examine occupational factors affecting workers' mental health.
Methods:
Using data from the fifth Korean Working Conditions Survey, 50,158 workers were analyzed. A multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the occupational factors.
Results:
Sex, age, education level, occupational type, job satisfaction, shift work, and occupational exposure were risk factors for depression, anxiety, and general fatigue. Furthermore, complete application of PPE decreased the risk of depression and anxiety than no application, but partial application of PPE increased the risk of depression and anxiety. Complete and partial application of PPE increased the risk of general fatigue.
Conclusions:
This study demonstrated that occupational factors are associated with mental health. This suggests that it is necessary to improve the working environment so that PPE can be applied structurally or systematically to protect against hazardous occupational exposure.
