We examined gender differences in the effects of unemployment on mental health and assessed whether such effects are associated with interactions among gender, family roles, and social class.
Our analysis included 3881 employed and 638 unemployed workers, aged 25 to 64 years, interviewed in the 1994 Catalonian Health Survey.
Unemployment had more of an effect on the mental health of men (age-adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 2.98; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.30, 3.87) than on that of women (age-adjusted OR = 1.51; 95% CI = 1.11, 2.06). Gender differences in effects were related to family responsibilities and social class.
Understanding the effects of unemployment on mental health requires consideration of the interactions among gender, family responsibilities, and social class.
我们研究了失业对心理健康影响方面的性别差异，并评估了这些影响是否与性别、家庭角色和社会阶层之间的相互作用有关。
我们的分析纳入了1994年加泰罗尼亚健康调查中采访的3881名就业人员和638名失业人员，年龄在25至64岁之间。
失业对男性心理健康的影响（年龄调整优势比[OR]=2.98；95%置信区间[CI]=2.30，3.87）大于对女性的影响（年龄调整OR=1.51；95%CI=1.11，2.06）。影响方面的性别差异与家庭责任和社会阶层有关。
了解失业对心理健康的影响需要考虑性别、家庭责任和社会阶层之间的相互作用。
