Abstract:
Background:Psychosocial work environment predicts a range of health risks including sickness absence, poor self
rated health, and depression.
Objective:To identify association between psychosocial work environment and health related indicators among
health care workers in Mongolia
Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted between January and April, 2023. 655 health care workers from
Ulaanbaatar city and 4 aimags were involved. Psychosocial work environment was assessed by the
Effort-reward imbalance model. As for the health related indicators, we used the SF-12 questionnaire
and sickness absence report. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed.
The study was approved by Medical Ethics Review Committee on January 18, 2023 (#23/02).
Results:1 in every 2 health care workers experience effort-reward imbalance at work and rated their health
as poor. In average, 32.7 percent of the study participants took 16.6 sick days for the last 1 year.
The study identified poor physical (44.7±8.6) and mental health functioning (42.1±9.8) among study
participants. Physical functioning was lower among nurses whereas mental health functioning was
lower among physicians.
