SP - e164 EP - e171 VL - 59 IS - 10 N2 - INTRODUCTION: Psychosocial hazards in the workplace may adversely impact occupational and general health, including injury risk.

METHODS: Among 16,417 adult workers in the 2010 National Health Interview Survey Occupational Health Supplement, weighted prevalence estimates were calculated for work-related injuries (WRI) and any injuries. The association between injury and psychosocial occupational hazards (job insecurity, work-family imbalance, hostile work environment) was assessed adjusting for sociodemographic and occupational factors.

RESULTS: WRI prevalence was 0.65% (nā€Š=ā€Š99); any injury prevalence was 2.46% (nā€Š=ā€Š427). In multivariable models job insecurity, work-family imbalance, and hostile work environment were each positively associated with WRI prevalence (odds ratio [OR]: 1.60, 95% CI: 0.97-2.65; OR: 1.69, 95% CI 0.96-2.89; and 2.01, 95% CI 0.94-4.33, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS: Stressful working conditions may contribute to injuries. There is need for ongoing surveillance of occupational psychosocial risk factors and further study of their relationship with injury.
