Health and social care workers are exposed to varying degrees of stress in their work, which may be reflected in their trajectories of psychological distress during the education program and the first years in the job. The aim of this study was to add to the knowledge concerned with the long-term development of psychological distress in five groups of welfare state service workers in Norway. The study included 1612 individuals. Psychological distress was measured with General Health Questionnaire-12 at four occasions from the start of the education program to 6 years post-graduation (nine year follow-up period). Results of linear mixed models (LMM) for repeated measures showed that psychological distress changed significantly over time in the social work professional groups. At the start of the education program, the lowest and highest levels of psychological distress were found among the child welfare and social workers, respectively. Six years post-graduation, social workers had become less distressed and child welfare workers had become more distressed. No significant change pattern for psychological distress was found among any of the health care professional groups.
卫生和社会护理工作者在工作中会面临不同程度的压力，这可能反映在他们参加教育项目期间以及入职头几年的心理困扰轨迹上。本研究的目的是增加对挪威五组福利国家服务工作者心理困扰长期发展情况的了解。该研究纳入了1612名个体。从教育项目开始到毕业后6年（九年随访期），共四次使用一般健康问卷-12来测量心理困扰。重复测量的线性混合模型（LMM）结果显示，社会工作专业组的心理困扰随时间有显著变化。在教育项目开始时，儿童福利工作者和社会工作者的心理困扰水平分别为最低和最高。毕业后6年，社会工作者的困扰有所减轻，而儿童福利工作者的困扰则有所增加。在任何医疗保健专业组中，均未发现心理困扰有显著的变化模式。
