Abstract

Objective: Healthcare and social workers (HSWs) often face demanding psychosocial work environments, which may lead to hypnotic use. This study investigates the associations between psychosocial work conditions, mental distress, burnout, and hypnotic use among HSWs compared to general employees.

Methods: Data from the 2022 Survey of Perceptions of Safety and Health in Work Environment in Taiwan included 202 HSWs and 808 matched general employees. Regression analyses examined relationships between psychosocial factors (e.g., job demands, job control, workplace violence) and mental health outcomes.

Results: HSWs reported higher job demands, workplace violence, burnout, and hypnotic use than general employees. Adverse psychosocial factors were linked to mental distress for both groups, with HSWs showing significantly higher odds of hypnotic use (OR, 2.47; 95% CI, 1.21-5.03).

Conclusions: Targeted interventions are essential to enhance workplace conditions and mental health for HSWs.

社会心理工作条件、精神痛苦、倦怠和催眠在卫生保健和社会工作者中的使用：与一般雇员的比较分析。

目的：卫生保健和社会工作者（hsw）经常面临苛刻的社会心理工作环境，这可能导致催眠的使用。本研究调查了高职业健康工作者与普通雇员之间的心理社会工作条件、精神痛苦、倦怠和催眠使用之间的关系。方法：资料采自《2022年台湾地区工作环境安全与健康认知调查》，包括202名高强度工种及808名匹配的普通工种。回归分析考察了社会心理因素（如工作要求、工作控制、工作场所暴力）与心理健康结果之间的关系。结果：高收入者报告的工作要求、工作场所暴力、倦怠和催眠使用高于普通员工。两组的不良心理社会因素均与精神困扰有关，hsw患者使用催眠药的几率明显更高（OR = 2.47, 95% CI: 1.21-5.03）。结论：有针对性的干预措施对改善高强度工作人员的工作环境和心理健康至关重要。
