Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the impact of early retirement, quality of life and general health level of a sample of industrial workers.
Subjects: 78 early retired industrial workers were evaluated on two separate occasions, baseline and after three years.
Instruments: A sociodemographic and clinical "ad hoc" protocol and the Spanish versions ot the following scales: the Quality of Life Questionnaire (1) the GHQ-28 (2, 3) and the MMSE (4, 5), the Self-Concept Scale (6, 7) and the Depression-Anxiety Scale from Goldberg (8-10).
Results: Those retired for physical or accident purpose showed a worse self-image and greater levels of anxiety
Conclusions: Being retired for physical or accident purpose plays a significant role in the development of psychopathology.
