心理社会因素与精液质量下降有关。本研究的目的是（i）估计工作压力和精液质量之间的关联和（ii）探讨社会支持在精液参数在中国男性workers.MethodsData的调节作用，从2014年4月至2015年12月在中国重庆招募的384名成年男性工人。参与者完成了一份评估人口统计学和生活方式因素的问卷。采用中文版工作内容问卷（JCQ）测量工作压力和社会支持。他们接受了体检并提供了精液样本。结果高工作压力的受试者被归类为低于WHO“正常”阈值的风险更高，“正常”是由精子浓度定义的（OR 2.14，95%CI 1.24- 3.68，p = 0.006）或精子总数（OR 1.95，95%CI 1.13- 3.36，p = 0.02）标准。然而，在社会支持度高的受试者中没有观察到这些不良相关性（精子浓度p= 0.80，精子总数p = 0.39）。社会支持和工作压力对精子浓度（p= .002）和精子总数（p= .02）之间的相互作用的影响detected. ConclusionWorkstress与较低水平的精液质量。社会支持减弱了工作压力和精液质量之间的负相关，这可能对生殖健康有影响。
ObjectivePsychosocial factors have been associated with a decline of the quality of semen. The study was aimed at (i) estimating the association between work stress and semen quality and (ii) exploring the moderating effect of social support in semen parameters among Chinese male workers.MethodsData were obtained from 384 adult male workers recruited from April 2014 to December 2015 in Chongqing, China. Participants completed a questionnaire assessing demographic and life-style factors. Work stress and social support was measured by the Chinese version of a 22-item Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ). They underwent a physical examination and provided a semen sample.ResultsSubjects with high work stress were associated with a higher risk of being classified below WHO's thresholds for “normal,” defined by sperm concentration (OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.24–3.68,p= .006) or total sperm count (OR 1.95, 95% CI 1.13–3.36,p= .02) criteria than subjects with low work stress were. However, these adverse associations were not observed among subjects with high social support (p= .80 for sperm concentration, andp= .39 for total sperm count). Interaction effects between social support and work stress on sperm concentration (p= .002) and total sperm count (p= .02) were detected.ConclusionWork stress is associated with lower levels of semen quality. Social support attenuates the negative association between work stress and semen quality, which may have implications for reproductive health.
