Psychosocial factors such as work characteristics, life events, social support, and personality were examined as predictors of the change in medically certified sickness absence observed during a period of severe economic decline. Longitudinal data, derived from self-reports and register-based information relating to 763 local government employees, were collected at 3 points during a 5-year period: before the economic decline, during the nadir of that decline, and immediately after the nadir. After the effects of prior absence and demographic and lifestyle variables had been partialed out, the results of multiple Poisson regression analyses showed that work characteristics play a major role in forthcoming sickness absences. Negative life events and the personality trait sense of coherence (in women) also predicted forthcoming absence rate. Social support did not relate to absences either in men or in women.
在严重经济衰退期间，对工作特征、生活事件、社会支持和个性等社会心理因素进行了研究，以预测经医学认证的病假缺勤变化情况。纵向数据来自763名地方政府雇员的自我报告和基于登记册的信息，在5年期间的3个时间点收集：经济衰退前、衰退最低点期间以及最低点之后。在排除先前缺勤以及人口统计学和生活方式变量的影响后，多重泊松回归分析结果表明，工作特征在即将到来的病假缺勤中起主要作用。负面生活事件和连贯感人格特质（女性）也预测了即将到来的缺勤率。社会支持与男性或女性的缺勤均无关。
