The comparison of Google internet searches for English words in construction for "construction stress", "construction mental" and "construction suicide" with reference to "construction worker" has not previously been undertaken. It is important to understand internet interest across these 3 terms as all are relevant to mental health and stress in construction. Suicide risk is significantly complex and multifactorial. Our aim is to investigate internet search interest across construction with a focus on mental, stress and suicide, and determine whether there is consistent interest across these search terms.
Using Google Trends, data on global search queries we compared "construction mental" or "construction stress" and "construction suicide". Two time periods were compared, the last 5 years and the last 24 months, both till December 8th, 2022. The relationship between web search interest, reflected by search volume index (SVI) for society and community versus the business and industrial category and health category were evaluated.
Open category searches on Google trends for the key words "construction mental" or "construction stress" demonstrated moderate SVI peaks over a 5-year period. Sub-group analyses for the industrial and business category demonstrated consistent low interest in suicide compared to search terms related to stress or mental health.
There is limited online interest in construction mental and stress and even less interest in suicide.
此前尚未对英文单词“construction stress”（施工压力）、“construction mental”（施工心理）和“construction suicide”（施工自杀）的谷歌互联网搜索进行比较，以“construction worker”（建筑工人）作为参考。了解这 3 个术语的互联网关注度非常重要，因为它们都与建筑行业的心理健康和压力有关。自杀风险非常复杂，涉及多个因素。我们的目的是调查建筑行业的互联网搜索兴趣，重点关注心理、压力和自杀，并确定这些搜索词是否存在一致的兴趣。
使用谷歌趋势，我们比较了“construction mental”或“construction stress”和“construction suicide”这两个术语的全球搜索查询数据。比较了两个时间段，过去 5 年和过去 24 个月，截止日期均为 2022 年 12 月 8 日。通过搜索量指数（SVI）评估了网络搜索兴趣与社会和社区类别与商业和工业类别和健康类别之间的关系。
谷歌趋势上对关键词“construction mental”或“construction stress”的开放式搜索在过去 5 年中显示出中等强度的 SVI 峰值。工业和商业类别的子组分析表明，与压力或心理健康相关的搜索词相比，自杀的兴趣较低。
建筑行业对心理和压力的关注度有限，对自杀的关注度甚至更低。
