Taxi drivers experience frequent hassles that may contribute to mental exertion and depression symptoms.
Mental exertion and depression symptoms in taxi drivers are explored in association with hassles, effort-reward imbalance, job strain, and iso-strain.
Personal interviews were conducted with 130 drivers in San Francisco.
Mental exertion averaged 4.5 (±2.68) and physical exertion averaged 3.71 (±2.1) on 0 to 10 Borg scales. Based on the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale, 38% had depression symptoms. Mental exertion and depression symptoms correlated with job strain, iso-strain and effort-reward imbalance in anticipated directions, lending construct validity to the Borg mental exertion scale. Physical exertion, night shift, stressful personal events, and being uninsured for healthcare predicted mental exertion. Lack of respect by dispatchers and stressful personal events predicted depression symptoms.
Selected hassles may be remedied by communication trainings, emphasizing mutual respect. Recognition and treatment of depression in taxi drivers are important.
出租车司机经常会遇到一些麻烦事，这些麻烦事可能会导致他们精神紧张并出现抑郁症状。
本研究旨在探讨出租车司机的精神紧张和抑郁症状与烦恼、努力-回报失衡、工作压力和同应性压力的关系。
对旧金山的 130 名出租车司机进行了个人访谈。
基于 0 到 10 伯格量表，司机的精神紧张平均为 4.5（±2.68），身体紧张平均为 3.71（±2.1）。根据流行病学研究中心抑郁量表，38%的司机出现抑郁症状。精神紧张和抑郁症状与工作压力、同应性压力和努力-回报失衡呈预期方向相关，这为伯格精神紧张量表提供了结构有效性。身体紧张、夜班、个人压力事件和没有医疗保险都会导致精神紧张。调度员缺乏尊重和个人压力事件会导致抑郁症状。
通过沟通培训强调相互尊重，可以缓解一些特定的烦恼。识别和治疗出租车司机的抑郁症状非常重要。
