Study on the correlation between worker-occupation fit and thyroid autoimmune abnormalities in mental workers
Objective To investigate the relationship between worker-occupation fit and thyroid autoimmune abnormalities,providing a theoretical basis for personal and corporate health management.Methods Using a convenience sampling method,334 mental workers undergoing health examinations at a hospital were selected as study subjects.A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect basic information and assess their worker-occupation fit.Thyroid autoimmune abnormalities were comprehensively evaluated using three indicators:thyroid ultrasound,thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPO-Ab),and thyroglobulin antibody(Tg-Ab).The correlation between worker-occupation fit and thyroid autoimmune abnormalities was analyzed using a structural equation model.Results Among the 334 study subjects,239 were male(71.56%)and 95 were female(28.44%).The worker-occupation fit score was(44.46±6.26),the thyroid peroxidase antibody level was(18.27±15.99)IU/mL,and the thyroglobulin antibody level was(49.04±26.72)IU/mL.There were 155 subjects with positive thyroid ultrasound results(46.41%),27 subjects with positive thyroid peroxidase antibody results(8.08%),and 22 subjects with positive thyroglobulin antibody results(6.59%).The structural equation model fitted well,with thyroid ultrasound,TPO-Ab,and Tg-Ab explaining a high degree of thyroid autoimmune abnormalities.There was a positive correlation between subjective load and worker-occupation fit(β=0.165,P<0.01),and a negative correlation between worker-occupation fit and thyroid autoimmune abnormalities(β=-0.149,P<0.05).Conclusions The better the worker-occupation fit,the lower the likelihood of thyroid autoimmune abnormalities.Corporate managers should pay more attention to workers'worker-occupation fit to protect their health.
