Resumen
CARRION-GARCIA, María Ángeles et al. Psychosocial Risks and Mental Disorders among Mexican Oil Workers. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.1, e05. Epub 30-Oct-2023. ISSN 1692-7273. https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/revsalud/a.11197.
Introduction:
The psychosocial risks faced by workers can influence their health as well as job performance and satisfaction. However, this phenomenon among Mexican workers in the oil industry has not been well studied. The purpose of this study was to analyze the association of stress and job-related burnout with mental disorders among oil workers in the southeastern region of Mexico.
Materials and methods:
This cross-sectional and analytical study included 501 workers from the onshore oil industry in the southeastern region of Mexico. The Work Burnout Inventory, the Symptoms of Stress Inventory, and the Goldberg General Health Questionnaire (GHQ 28) were applied between October and November, 2016. Chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between variables and the odds ratio was determined to establish the level of risk for mental disorders.
Results:
Moderate levels of stress (21.41 %), efficacy (41.5 %), cynicism (30.6 %), and exhaustion (39.7 %) were observed. Mental disorders were noted in 11.8 % of workers. Stress and burnout were associated with mental disorders (p < 0.05). Finally, workers who experienced stress and job burnout were more likely to have mental disorders (OR = 12.96; 95 % CI [7.03-23.94]; p = 0.00).
Conclusions:
Stress and job burnout are risk factors for mental disorders among Mexican oil workers.
