摘要
背景：性骚扰（SH）在世界各地的工作场所都是一个持续存在的问题，包括学术界。目的：本研究探讨瑞典隆德大学（LU）员工心理健康与心理健康之间的关系。方法：采用横断面调查方法，对2019年所有LU员工进行调查。SH暴露是通过一个十项量表来测量的，该量表捕捉了SH体验，并区分了诱导和非诱导类型的SH。经过验证的工具用于测量心理健康的两个方面；心理健康（GHQ-12）和活力（SF-36）。通过调整混杂因素的多变量logistic回归分析，研究了SH暴露与结果变量之间的关系。研究了性别、年龄、背景和学术地位对心理健康与预后关系的修正作用。结果：在调整混杂因素后，工作场所SH与女性心理健康状况不佳（PMH） （OR 1.5 (95% CI 1.1-2.0)）和低活力（LV） （OR 1.8 (95% CI 1.3-2.5)）和男性LV （OR 2.0 (95% CI 1.1-3.9)）相关。在女性中，非嫖娼和嫖娼合并的经历与PMH和LV相关。在男性中，非引诱性性行为的经历与LV有关。研究发现，影响SH和LV相关性的协同作用指征与年龄、背景和学术地位有关，而与性别无关。结论：职场SH是不良心理健康的重要危险因素，主要存在于女性中，但也存在于男性大学员工中。这些发现可以为当地预防性病的政策提供信息。
Workplace sexual harassment is associated with poor mental well-being among employees at a large Swedish university.
Background: Sexual harassment (SH) is a persistent problem at workplaces around the world, including academia.
Objective: This study examines the association between SH and mental well-being among employees at Lund University (LU) in Sweden.
Methods: Data was obtained from a cross-sectional survey targeting all LU employees in 2019. SH exposure was measured using a ten-item scale capturing SH experiences and enabling the differentiation between soliciting and non-soliciting types of SH. Validated instruments were used to measure two aspects of mental well-being; mental health (GHQ-12) and vitality (SF-36 vitality scale). Association between SH exposure and outcome variables was investigated through multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusting for confounders. Modifying effects of gender, age, background and academic position, respectively, on the relation between SH and outcomes were studied.
Results: Workplace SH was associated with poor mental health (PMH) (OR 1.5 (95% CI 1.1-2.0)) and low vitality (LV) (OR 1.8 (95% CI 1.3-2.5)) among women and with LV (OR 2.0 (95% CI 1.1-3.9)) among men, after adjusting for confounders. Among women, experiences of non-soliciting and soliciting SH combined were associated with PMH and LV. Among men, experiences of non-soliciting SH behaviours exclusively were associated with LV. Indications of synergistic interaction affecting the association between SH and LV were found related to age, background and academic position, but not gender.
Conclusions: Workplace SH is a significant risk factor for poor mental well-being, primarily among female, but also among male university employees. These findings can inform local policies for prevention of SH.
期刊介绍：
Global Health Action is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal affiliated with the Unit of Epidemiology and Global Health, Department of Public Health and Clinical Medicine at Umeå University, Sweden. The Unit hosts the Umeå International School of Public Health and the Umeå Centre for Global Health Research.
Vision: Our vision is to be a leading journal in the global health field, narrowing health information gaps and contributing to the implementation of policies and actions that lead to improved global health.
Aim: The widening gap between the winners and losers of globalisation presents major public health challenges. To meet these challenges, it is crucial to generate new knowledge and evidence in the field and in settings where the evidence is lacking, as well as to bridge the gaps between existing knowledge and implementation of relevant findings. Thus, the aim of Global Health Action is to contribute to fuelling a more concrete, hands-on approach to addressing global health challenges. Manuscripts suggesting strategies for practical interventions and research implementations where none already exist are specifically welcomed. Further, the journal encourages articles from low- and middle-income countries, while also welcoming articles originated from South-South and South-North collaborations. All articles are expected to address a global agenda and include a strong implementation or policy component.
