干旱是一种与不利健康有关的全球性自然灾害。有证据表明，农业社区特别容易受到干旱的影响，但对干旱如何影响农民的职业压力的理解有限。我们使用了农业工人肌肉骨骼症状队列研究中收集的重复测量数据，包括2012年至2015年312个县的498名美国中西部农民，每隔6个月接受工作内容问卷调查（JCQ）。使用纵向线性混合效应模型来估计在干旱条件下工作应变比的变化，工作应变比是职业心理社会压力的连续度量，使用12个月标准化降水指数测量。我们进一步评估了干旱与心理工作需求、工作决策纬度、工作压力成分之间的关系，并应用分层分析来评估参与者性别、年龄和地理的差异。在生长季节，与非干旱条件相比，干旱条件下的工作应变比增加了0.031 (95% CI: 0.012, 0.05)，相当于一半标准差的变化（Cohen’s D = 0.5）。干旱和工作应变比之间的关系主要是由心理工作需求的增加驱动的（2.09;95% CI: 0.94, 3.24）。没有观察到性别、年龄组或地理区域的风险差异。我们的研究结果表明，干旱与农民职业社会心理压力增加之间存在一种以前未确定的关联。随着北美气候预计将变得更加炎热和干燥，这些发现可以为联邦干旱预警系统和缓解计划提供重要的健康影响数据。
Drought represents a globally relevant natural disaster linked to adverse health. Evidence has shown agricultural communities to be particularly susceptible to drought, but there is a limited understanding of how drought may impact occupational stress in farmers. We used repeated measures data collected in the Musculoskeletal Symptoms among Agricultural Workers Cohort study, including 498 Midwestern U.S. farmers surveyed with a Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) at six-month intervals in 312 counties from 2012 through 2015. A longitudinal linear mixed effects model was used to estimate the change in job strain ratio, a continuous metric of occupational psychosocial stress, during drought conditions measured with a 12-month standardized precipitation index. We further evaluated associations between drought and psychological job demand and job decision latitude, the job strain components, and applied a stratified analysis to evaluate differences by participant sex, age, and geography. During the growing season, the job strain ratio increased by 0.031 (95% CI: 0.012, 0.05) during drought conditions, an amount equivalent to a one-half standard deviation change (Cohen’s D = 0.5), compared to non-drought conditions. The association between drought and the job strain ratio was driven mostly by increases in the psychological job demand (2.09; 95% CI: 0.94, 3.24). No risk differences were observed by sex, age group, or geographic region. Our results suggest a previously unidentified association between drought and increased occupational psychosocial stress among farmers. With North American climate anticipated to become hotter and drier, these findings could provide important health effects data for federal drought early warning systems and mitigation plans.
