本研究探讨了流行的心理困扰和压力源在工作环境中的前瞻性预测的困扰，员工在海上石油industrial.Correlation和Logistic回归分析的压力源和困扰之间的纵向关系，随机抽取的741名员工从挪威石油海上工业。基线和随访之间的时间间隔为6个月。工作环境压力源包括安全因素、领导力和工作特征。心理困扰的发生率在基线时为9%，在随访时为8%。所有调查的工作环境因素与随后的痛苦。在双变量逻辑回归分析中，基线苦恼、未遂事故、风险感知、不良安全氛围、专制领导、自由放任领导、工作要求和工作场所欺凌可以预测苦恼的情况。在调整了基线痛苦、控制变量和其他预测因素后，（OR = 1.69; 95% CI：1.12-2.54）和暴露于欺凌（OR = 1.49; 95% CI：（1.07-2.10）作为最有力的预测随后的困扰。研究结果表明，心理困扰的患病率低于离岸员工，在普通人群中的比例。尽管离岸工人在体力挑战的环境中工作，但他们的心理健康主要受到心理社会工作环境中的压力源的影响。这突出了制定和实施心理社会安全干预措施的重要性，在海上工业。
This study investigates the prevalence of psychological distress and stressors in the work environment as prospective predictors of distress, among employees in the offshore petroleum industry.Correlation and logistic regression analyses were employed to examine longitudinal relationships between stressors and distress in a randomly drawn sample of 741 employees from the Norwegian petroleum offshore industry. Time lag between baseline and follow-up was 6 months. Work environment stressors included safety factors, leadership, and job characteristics.The prevalence of psychological distress was 9 % at baseline and 8 % at follow-up. All investigated work environment factors correlated with subsequent distress. In bivariate logistic regression analyses, caseness of distress was predicted by baseline distress, near miss accidents, risk perception, poor safety climate, tyrannical leadership, laissez-faire leadership, job demands, and workplace bullying. After adjustment for baseline distress, control variables, and other predictors, laissez-faire leadership (OR = 1.69; 95 % CI: 1.12-2.54) and exposure to bullying (OR = 1.49; 95 % CI: 1.07-2.10) emerged as the most robust predictors of subsequent distress.The findings show that the prevalence of psychological distress is lower among offshore employees than in the general population. Although offshore workers operate in a physically challenging context, their mental health is mainly influenced by stressors in the psychosocial work environment. This highlights the importance of developing and implementing psychosocial safety interventions within the offshore industry.
