Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the level of social support and its correlation with occupational stress among gas production workers in the field.Methods:In October 2018, the cluster sampling method was used to perform a cross-sectional survey for 1726 gas production workers in the field, and related data of these workers were collected, including age, education level, marital status, level of social support, and related factors for occupational stress. A Spearman's rank correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between social support and occupational stress, and the levels of occupational stress-related factors were compared between the groups with different social support scores.Results:The gas production workers in the field had a median (25th percentile, 75th percentile) social support score of 24.00 (19.00, 28.00) , and there was a significant difference in social support score between the workers with different posts or work shifts ( P<0.01) . Social support score was positively correlated with effort, daily stress, negative emotion, and job routinization ( P<0.05) and was negatively correlated with job satisfaction, reward, working stability, and promotion opportunity ( P<0.05) . The group with a high social support score had significantly higher scores of effort, job routinization, sleep disorders, and daily stress than the other two groups ( P<0.01) , and the group with a low social support score had significantly higher scores of reward, self-efficacy, positive affection, and job satisfaction than the other two groups ( P<0.01) . Conclusion:High-level social support plays an important role in alleviating occupational stress and protecting mental health among gas production workers in the field.
