目的采用前瞻性设计，本研究的目的是确定工作场所欺凌和精神distress.Methods共，1971挪威员工，从20个组织招募，回答有关工作场所欺凌和精神困扰的问题，在基线和后续。2004-2006年收集了基线数据，2006-2009年收集了后续数据。对所有组织的所有答复者来说，基线与后续行动之间的时间间隔约为两年。本研究测量的因素包括个人特征、霍普金斯症状自评量表（HSCL-10）测量的精神困扰、工作场所欺凌的一般北欧工作心理和社会因素问卷中的一个项目结果采用分层多元线性回归分析，调整了精神压力、性别、年龄、工作要求和工作控制[beta=0.05，95%CI 0.03-0.17]以及性别和年龄调整后的重复测量ANOVA [F（3，1965）=38.37;偏eta（2）=0.06]表明，工作场所欺凌预测精神困扰。此外，调整欺凌，性别，年龄，工作要求和工作控制在基线[比值比（OR）2.30，95%CI 1.43-3.69]的多元二进制逻辑回归分析表明，精神困扰是一个预测的bully.Conclusions我们发现支持的概念，自我报告的工作场所欺凌是一个预测的精神困扰两年后。在调整了工作要求和工作控制后，欺凌对精神痛苦有独立的影响。精神痛苦也被发现是欺凌的预测因子，这表明反向关系也很重要。
Objectives Using a prospective design, the objective of this study was to determine the relationship between workplace bullying and mental distress.Methods Altogether, 1971 Norwegian employees, recruited from 20 organizations, answered questions regarding workplace bullying and mental distress at both baseline and follow-up. Baseline data were gathered between 2004-2006, and follow-up data were gathered between 2006-2009. The time-lag between baseline and follow-up was approximately two years for all the respondents in all the organizations. The factors measured in the study were individual characteristics, mental distress measured with the Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL-10), self-reported workplace bullying measured with a single item from the General Nordic Questionnaire for Psychological and Social Factors at Work (QPSNordic) and job demands and job control assessed by QPSNordic.Results A hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis adjusted for mental distress, sex, age, job demands, and job control at baseline [beta=0.05, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.03-0.17] and a repeated measures ANOVA adjusted for sex and age [F(3, 1965)=38.37; partial eta(2)=0.06] showed that workplace bullying predicted mental distress. Furthermore, a multiple binary logistic regression analysis adjusted for bullying, sex, age, job demands, and job control at baseline [odds ratio (OR) 2.30, 95% CI 1.43-3.69] showed that mental distress was a predictor of bullying.Conclusions We found support for the notion that self-reported workplace bullying is a predictor of mental distress two years later. Bullying had an independent effect on mental distress after adjusting for job demands and job control. Mental distress was also found to be a predictor of bullying, indicating that the reverse relationship is also important.
