Abstract:
Objective To survey the quality of life and mental health status of pre-post household service workers who held a high school graduation certificate or above and had been engaged in different work.Methods A total of 254 household service workers completed Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief (WHOQL-BREF).Statistical analyses of variance and correlation were carried out to evaluate mental health status and quality of life of the participants.Results Abnormal score of SCL-90 was found in 8% of household service workers who had graduated from high school.The psychological score of household service workers who had worked as workers(60.59± 2.18)was lower than those who had worked as service workers (66.23 ± 12.13) or peasants (65.40 ± 12.24) (P <0.05).Almost all factors of SCL-90 were negatively correlated with WHOQL-BREF (correlation coefficient -0.140 to-0.376).Conclusions Our data suggest that mental health status can be well in pre-post household service workers who held a high school graduation certificate or above.Special training should be given to the household service workers in accordance with their working experience.
