This article examines the physical, psychological, and attitudinal impact of the closure of Central State Hospital (CSH) on its former employees. Eighty-five former CSH employees were interviewed at two points in time, preclosure and postclosure. Data on the psychological and physical health and employment attitudes of workers were collected prior to and eight months after organizational closure. Over time, workers had more positive attitudes about the hospital closure as well as reporting less depression, less work stress, and use of more coping strategies at postclosure. However, at post-closure, they also reported increased work conflict, lower income, and a more pessimistic outlook toward their future. Implications for hospital closure are discussed.
本文探讨了中央州立医院（CSH）关闭对其前员工在身体、心理和态度方面的影响。在关闭前和关闭后两个时间点，对85名CSH前员工进行了访谈。收集了员工在机构关闭前和关闭八个月后的心理健康、身体健康及就业态度数据。随着时间推移，员工对医院关闭的态度更为积极，同时报告称在关闭后抑郁情绪减轻、工作压力减小且采用了更多应对策略。然而，在关闭后，他们也报告称工作冲突增加、收入降低以及对未来的看法更为悲观。文中还讨论了医院关闭的影响。
