Abstract |
[Objective] To explore the relation between occupational stress and symptoms of depression in different occupational population. [Methods] This cross-sectional study included 2 458 working population,aging 20-63,in a district of Shanghai.The Chinese version of Karasek's Job Content Questionnaire(C-JCQ) and the Chinese version of Siegrist's Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire(C-ERI) were used to measure job strain,and the Chinese version of Center for Epidemiological Survey Depression Scale(CES-D) was used to assess depressive symptoms.Sociodemographic characteristics and individual life behaviors were also investigated.Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the associations between depressive symptoms and occupational stress factors. [Results] The average CES-D score reached 16.1±7.2 and the prevalence of depressive symptoms was 44.0% of the occupational population enrolled.Education level,job position,working time,and smoking were related with depressive symptoms.High job strain,low job control,low social support,high over-commitment,and high effort-reward imbalance were risk factors for depressive symptoms. [Conclusion] Demographic characteristics and work stressors could increase the risk of developing depressive symptoms among working populations. |
