Moderating effect of resilience on perceived stress and mental health among workers in a transportation construction company
Objective To investigate the influencing factors for mental health among workers in a transportation construction company and association of perceived stress and resilience,and to provide a scientific basis for the improvement of mental health among workers.Methods From June to December 2021,a total of 451 employees of a transportation construction company in Wuhu were selected by cluster sampling method as the survey object.Symptom check list 90(SCL-90),10-item conner-davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC-10),and Chinese version perceived stress scale(CPSS)were used to conduct questionnaire survey,and the data were analyzed.Results The score of mental health tendency was(144.75±50.35)points of the 451 employees of a transportation construction company,and the incidence rate of SCL-90 was 32.4%(146/451).There were significant differences in the score of perceived stress and resilience in different gender,education levels and working age(all P<0.05).There were significant differences in the score of mental health in different working age and marital status groups(both P<0.05).The total score and all dimensions of mental health were positively correlated with perceived stress(r=0.432-0.585,all P<0.01).The total score and all dimensions of mental health were negatively correlated with resilience(r=-0.324-0.698,all P<0.01).The interaction among resilience and perceived stress was statistically significant(β=-0.13,P<0.01),the independent on mental health is 2%(△R2=0.02).The resilience moderated the relationship between perceived stress and mental health.Conclusions The mental health level of workers in the transportation construction company is relatively high.Perceived stress is an important influencing factor for mental health.When the stress perceptions increases,the mental health of workers with low mental resilienceis worse.Reduce perceived stress and improve resilience as a way to protecting mental health among workers in this company.
