Tranquillising Work Stress: Corporate Climate and Antidepressant Use

这个国家项目将通过创造性地将澳大利亚工作场所晴雨表(为期10年的纵向研究)的数据与抗抑郁药物的数据(通过国家药物福利计划)联系起来，调查工作中的痛苦与澳大利亚抗抑郁药物使用水平之间的合理联系。该项目通过探索公司氛围在工作设计、痛苦、心理健康问题和抗抑郁药物使用中所起的作用，提出了理论。它将确定抗抑郁剂的使用是否导致了对工作压力影响的低估。它将估计与工作相关的抗抑郁药使用的澳元成本。该项目将产生证据，以刺激企业气候变化，以保护工人的心理健康和福祉。

This national project will investigate the plausible link between distress at work and Australia’s high levels of antidepressant use, through creative linkage of data from the Australian Workplace Barometer (10-year longitudinal study) to antidepressant medication data (via the national Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme). The project advances theory by probing the role corporate climate plays in work design, distress, mental health problems and antidepressant use. It will determine if antidepressant use has led to an underestimation of work stress effects. It will estimate the $AUD cost of work related antidepressant use. The project will yield evidence to stimulate corporate climate change to protect worker psychological health and wellbeing.
