A previous review showed that high stress increases the risk of occupational injury by three- to five-fold. However, most of the prior studies have relied on short follow-ups. In this prospective cohort study we examined the effect of stress on recorded hospitalised injuries in an 8-year follow-up.
A total of 16,385 employees of a Finnish forest company responded to the questionnaire. Perceived stress was measured with a validated single-item measure, and analysed in relation recorded hospitalised injuries from 1986 to 2008. We used Cox proportional hazard regression models to examine the prospective associations between work stress, injuries and confounding factors.
Highly stressed participants were approximately 40% more likely to be hospitalised due to injury over the follow-up period than participants with low stress. This association remained significant after adjustment for age, gender, marital status, occupational status, educational level, and physical work environment.
High stress is associated with an increased risk of severe injury.
先前的一项综述表明,高压力会使职业伤害风险增加三至五倍。然而,大多数先前的研究依赖于短期随访。在这项前瞻性队列研究中,我们在8年的随访中研究了压力对记录在案的住院伤害的影响。
芬兰一家森林公司的16385名员工对问卷进行了回复。使用经过验证的单项测量方法测量感知压力,并分析其与1986年至2008年记录在案的住院伤害的关系。我们使用Cox比例风险回归模型来研究工作压力、伤害和混杂因素之间的前瞻性关联。
在随访期间,高压力参与者因受伤住院的可能性比低压力参与者高约40%。在对年龄、性别、婚姻状况、职业状况、教育水平和体力工作环境进行调整后,这种关联仍然显著。
高压力与严重伤害风险增加有关。
