Work-related stress is highly prevalent. Recent systematic reviews concluded on a significant association between common work-related stress measures and depression. Our scoping review aims to explore whether work-related psychosocial stress is generally associated with depression or depressiveness, the extent and methodology of the primary research undertaken on this topic and to elucidate inconsistencies or gaps in knowledge.
We searched for literature in Pubmed, PsycInfo and Web of Science including full reports in seven languages published between 1999 and 2022 and applied the PRISMA statement for scoping reviews criteria.
Of 463 primarily identified articles, 125 were retained after abstract and full-text screening. The majority report significant associations between work-related stress and depression. Cross-sectional studies are most prevalent. Sufficient evidence exists only for job strain and effort-reward imbalance. Most studies are from Asia, North America and Europe. The health sector is the most studied. Several research gaps such as the lack of interventional studies were identified.
The consistency of most studies on the significant association between work-related stress and depression is remarkable. More studies are needed to improve evidence and to close research gaps.
工作相关压力非常普遍。最近的系统评价得出结论，常见的工作相关压力指标与抑郁症之间存在显著关联。我们的范围综述旨在探讨工作相关的社会心理压力是否通常与抑郁症或抑郁情绪相关，关于该主题的主要研究的范围和方法，并阐明知识上的不一致或差距。
我们在PubMed、PsycInfo和科学网中检索文献，包括1999年至2022年间以七种语言发表的完整报告，并应用PRISMA声明进行范围综述标准。
在初步识别出的463篇文章中，经过摘要和全文筛选后保留了125篇。大多数报告显示工作相关压力与抑郁症之间存在显著关联。横断面研究最为普遍。仅工作紧张和努力-回报失衡有充分证据。大多数研究来自亚洲、北美和欧洲。卫生部门是研究最多的领域。发现了一些研究空白，如缺乏干预性研究。
大多数关于工作相关压力与抑郁症之间显著关联的研究的一致性值得注意。需要更多研究来完善证据并填补研究空白。
