This study aimed to evaluate the determinants of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among workers in Singapore.
We analysed data from a cross-sectional study of 464 participants from 4 companies in Singapore. Physical and mental components of HRQoL were assessed using the Short-Form 36 version 2.0 survey. A generalized linear model was used to determine factors associated with the physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores of HRQoL.
The overall mean PCS and MCS scores were mean±standard deviation 51.6±6.7 and 50.2±7.7, respectively. The scores for subscales ranged from 62.7±14.7 for vitality to 83.5±20.0 for role limitation due to emotional problems. Ethnicity, overweight/obesity, and years working at the company were significantly associated with physical HRQoL, and age and stress at work were significantly associated with mental HRQoL. Moreover, sleep quality was significantly associated with both physical and mental HRQoL.
These findings could help workplaces in planning strategies and initiatives for employees to maintain a worklife balance that encompasses their physical, emotional, and social well-being.
本研究旨在评估新加坡工人健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)的决定因素。
我们分析了来自新加坡 4 家公司的 464 名参与者的横断面研究数据。使用 Short-Form 36 版本 2.0 调查评估 HRQoL 的身体和心理成分。使用广义线性模型确定与 HRQoL 的身体成分综合评分(PCS)和心理成分综合评分(MCS)相关的因素。
总体平均 PCS 和 MCS 评分分别为 51.6±6.7 和 50.2±7.7。子量表的评分范围从活力的 62.7±14.7 到情绪问题导致角色限制的 83.5±20.0。族裔、超重/肥胖和在公司工作的年限与身体 HRQoL 显著相关,而年龄和工作压力与心理 HRQoL 显著相关。此外,睡眠质量与身体和心理 HRQoL 均显著相关。
这些发现可以帮助工作场所制定策略和计划,为员工提供保持工作与生活平衡的机会,包括他们的身体、情感和社会福祉。
