Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic led to widespread consequences for economic, social, and general wellbeing with rates of anxiety and depression increasing across the population and disproportionately for some workers. This study explored which factors were the most salient contributors to mental health through a cross-sectional 68-item questionnaire that addressed topics related to the pandemic. Data were collected through an address-based sampling frame over the two months from April 2022 to June 2022. A total of 2,049 completed surveys were collected throughout Chicago's 77 Community Areas. Descriptive statistics including frequency and percentages were generated to describe workplace characteristics, work-related stress, and sample demographics and their relationship to psychological distress. Independent participant and workplace factors associated with the outcomes were identified using multivariable logistic regression. The weighted prevalence of persons experiencing some form of psychological distress from mild to serious was 32%. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, certain marginalized communities experienced psychological distress more than others including females, adults over the age of 25 years of age, and people with higher income levels. Those who had been laid off, lost pay, or had reduced hours had increased odds of psychological distress (aOR = 1.71, CI95% 1.14-2.56; p = 0.009) as did people that reported that their work-related stress was somewhat or much worse as compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic (aOR = 2.22, CI95% 1.02-4.82; p = 0.04, aOR = 11.0, CI95% 4.65-26.1; p < 0.001, respectively). These results warrant further investigation and consideration in developing workplace and mental health interventions.

COVID-19 大流行两年后芝加哥居民与工作相关的心理健康因素。
COVID-19 大流行给经济、社会和总体福利带来了广泛的影响,焦虑和抑郁的发病率在整个人群中都有所上升,对一些工人来说更是如此。本研究通过一份包含 68 个项目的横向问卷,探讨了哪些因素对心理健康的影响最为显著。数据是在 2022 年 4 月至 2022 年 6 月的两个月内通过基于地址的抽样框架收集的。在芝加哥的 77 个社区地区共收集到 2049 份填写完毕的调查问卷。通过频率和百分比等描述性统计来描述工作场所特征、与工作相关的压力、样本人口统计学特征及其与心理困扰的关系。使用多变量逻辑回归法确定了与结果相关的独立参与者和工作场所因素。从轻微到严重的某种形式心理困扰的加权发生率为 32%。在对潜在的混杂因素进行调整后,某些边缘群体比其他群体更容易受到心理困扰,包括女性、25 岁以上的成年人和收入水平较高的人群。与 COVID-19 大流行之前相比,那些报告其工作压力有所减轻或减轻很多的人也有更高的心理压力几率(aOR = 2.22,CI95%为 1.02-4.82;p = 0.04,aOR = 11.0,CI95%为 4.65-26.1;p = 0.009),而那些报告其工作压力有所减轻或减轻很多的人也有更高的心理压力几率(aOR = 2.22,CI95%为 1.02-4.82;p = 0.04,aOR = 11.0,CI95%为 4.65-26.1;p = 0.009)。
