The aim of this paper was to present how mental symptoms are connected to the use of desktop, portable or minicomputers (communicators and hand-held computers), mobile phones, and background information such as age and gender in the Finnish working-age population. The study was carried out as a cross-sectional study by posting a questionnaire to 15 000 working-age (18-65) Finns. The mental symptoms of 6 121 respondents were analysed using the model factors age, gender, the use of computers and the use of mobile phones. In all data, the use of desktop computers was related to mental symptoms. However, the results of our data are not highly reliable, because the nonresponse rate was over 50%. Nevertheless, it may be essential to take into account in the future that working with computers can increase workers' mental symptoms, and it is important to observe their mental health.
本文旨在展示在芬兰劳动年龄人群中，精神症状与使用台式、便携式或小型计算机（通讯器和掌上电脑）、移动电话以及年龄和性别等背景信息之间的关系。该研究通过向 15000 名劳动年龄（18-65 岁）的芬兰人邮寄问卷，以横断面研究的方式进行。使用模型因素年龄、性别、计算机使用情况和移动电话使用情况对 6121 名受访者的精神症状进行了分析。在所有数据中，使用台式计算机与精神症状有关。然而，由于回复率超过 50%，我们的数据结果并不是非常可靠。尽管如此，在未来考虑到使用计算机可能会增加劳动者的精神症状，观察他们的心理健康可能是至关重要的。
