Studies have shown that high psychological demands and low decision latitude may be involved in the development of major health problems. The objective of the current study was to describe the importance of these factors among the Canadian working population. The sample included 7,250 participants from the National Population Health Survey (NPHS) of 1994-95. Women were significantly more exposed than men to high psychological demands (56% versus 49%), to low decision latitude (61% versus 49%), and to these two factors simultaneously (33% versus 22%). The exposure to each of these factors was more frequent among younger and less educated people. Simultaneous exposure to both factors was more frequent among younger people and those with intermediate education level. There was a socio-economic gradient for the exposition to these factors. Some jobs with the highest exposure were identified.
研究表明，高心理需求和低决策自由度可能与重大健康问题的发展有关。本研究的目的是描述这些因素在加拿大工作人群中的重要性。样本包括1994 - 1995年全国人口健康调查（NPHS）的7250名参与者。女性比男性更易暴露于高心理需求（56%对49%）、低决策自由度（61%对49%）以及同时暴露于这两个因素（33%对22%）。在年轻人和受教育程度较低的人群中，接触这些因素中的每一种都更为频繁。同时接触这两个因素在年轻人和中等教育水平的人群中更为常见。接触这些因素存在社会经济梯度。确定了一些暴露程度最高的工作。
