The aim of this longitudinal study is to investigate how different aspects of social support at work and in leisure time are associated with self rated health and sickness absence.
The 541 participants in the study were representative for a working population in the public sector in Sweden with a majority being woman.
Most of the variables were created from data from a questionnaire in March-April 2005. There were four independent variables and two dependent variables. The dependent were based on data from November 2006. A logistic regression model was used for the analysis of associations. A separate model was adapted for each of the explanatory variables for each outcome, which gave five models per independent variable.
The study has given a greater awareness of the importance of employees receiving social support, regardless of type of support or from whom the support is coming.
Social support has a strong association with SRH in a longitudinal perspective and no association between social support and sickness absence.
这项纵向研究的目的是调查工作和休闲时间的社会支持的不同方面如何与自评健康和病假相关联。
该研究中的541名参与者代表了瑞典公共部门的工作人群，其中大多数为女性。
大多数变量来自2005年3月至4月一份调查问卷的数据。有四个自变量和两个因变量。因变量基于2006年11月的数据。采用逻辑回归模型分析关联。针对每个结果的每个解释变量采用一个单独的模型，每个自变量有五个模型。
该研究使人们更加认识到员工获得社会支持的重要性，无论支持的类型或来源如何。
从纵向角度看，社会支持与自评健康有很强的关联，而社会支持与病假之间没有关联。
