Abstract

This descriptive study was conducted to compare the job demands, job control, social support and mental health status of thermal power plant and underground coal mine workers. 158 workers in thermal power plant and 162 workers in underground coal mine participated in the study. The results unearthed that thermal power plant workers had 2.3 times better mental health (p < 0.001 OR = 2.3 CI = 1.50-3.74) and 3.0 times lower job demands (p < 0.001 OR = 3.0 CI = 1.91-4.92) than coal mine workers. In the study, it was determined that mental health was positively affected as job control and social support increased in both thermal power plant and underground mine workers (p < 0.05); there was no significant relationship between job demands and mental health (p > 0.05). These results indicate that underground mine workers are at higher risk in terms of mental health and job demands than thermal power plant workers.

火力发电厂和地下矿井工人的工作要求、控制、社会支持和心理健康:一项比较研究。
这项描述性研究旨在比较火力发电厂工人和煤矿井下工人的工作要求、工作控制、社会支持和心理健康状况。158 名火电厂工人和 162 名煤矿井下工人参加了研究。结果发现,火电厂工人的心理健康状况比煤矿井下工人好 2.3 倍(p p p > 0.05)。这些结果表明,与火电厂工人相比,煤矿井下工人在心理健康和工作要求方面的风险更高。
