本文报告了一项关于相对体重、吸烟和心理健康的纵向研究,这些因素预测了实习护士(N=185)经医学证明的疾病和未经授权的缺勤。在记录疾病和缺勤的33个月期间之前,获得了关于吸烟、相对体重和躯体主诉和社会功能障碍的自我报告的信息。多元回归被用来测试将缺勤与相对体重、吸烟和症状测量的线性和二次分量相关联的预测模型。发现相对体重与缺勤之间存在显著的曲线关系,其形式与相对重量与死亡率之间的关系非常相似;吸烟表现为相加效应。社会功能障碍和相对体重之间的线性交互作用也被发现;尤其是那些相对体重高的人,他们也报告了高水平的社会功能障碍。对疾病事件的分析证实了超重的不利影响,以及较轻程度的体重不足和吸烟。研究结果从医疗、心理和社会心理方面对疾病和旷工的影响进行了讨论。(《心理信息数据库记录(C)2022年APA》,版权所有)
This article reports a longitudinal study of relative weight, smoking, and mental health as predictors of medically certified sickness and unauthorized absence from work among student nurses (N= 185). Information about smoking, relative weight, and self-reports of somatic complaints and social dysfunction was obtained prior to the 33-month period over which sickness and absence were recorded. Multiple regression was used to test a predictive model relating absence to linear and quadratic components of relative weight, smoking, and symptom measures. A significant curvilinear relation between relative weight and absence was found, the form of which closely resembled the relation between relative weight and mortality; smoking showed an additive effect. A linear interaction between social dysfunction and relative weight was also found; particularly high levels of absence occurred among those of high relative weight who also reported high levels of social dysfunction. Analysis of sickness episodes confirmed the adverse effects of overweight and, to a lesser extent of underweight and smoking. The findings are discussed in terms of medical, psychological, and psychosocial influences on sickness and absenteeism.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
