我们的目的是调查精神压力与建筑工人的疼痛和伤害之间的关系。对建筑工人（N=172）进行了横断面心理健康评估。一个子样本参加了临床访谈（N=10）。我们使用HSCL-25的截止值（≥1.50）来确定实质性的精神痛苦以及确定与疼痛和损伤结果的关联。在这些工人中，严重精神困扰的患病率为16%。这得到了后续临床访谈的支持，其中十分之九的工人符合精神障碍的标准。严重的精神痛苦与受伤率和自我报告的疼痛有关。这项初步研究强烈表明，需要对建筑工人的心理健康进行严格的研究，以及它如何影响他们的工作和福祉。
We aimed to investigate how mental distress was associated with pain and injuries in a convenience sample of construction workers. A cross-sectional, mental health assessment was conducted in a convenience sample of construction workers (N=172). A subsample participated in a clinical interview (N=10). We used a cut-off (≥1.50) on HSCL-25 to determine substantial mental distress and determined associations with pain and injury outcomes. The prevalence of substantial mental distress was 16 % in the workers. This was supported by follow-up clinical interviews where nine out of ten workers fulfilled the criteria for a mental disorder. Substantial mental distress was associated with both injury rate and self-reported pain. This pilot study strongly suggests the need for rigorous studies on construction worker mental health, and how it affects their work and wellbeing.
