| Abstract |
Stress may be a cause of occupational accidents. Using multivariate logistic regression analyses, this study aimed to uncover the best psychosocial predictors of injury, while controlling for exposure-related confounders. From a randomly selected sample of 794 farms in Denmark, 393 farmers provided weekly reports of accidents over 12 months and completed a questionnaire on various psychosocial factors. Results indicated that farm stressors (including perceived economic problems), stress symptoms and safety behaviour were predictors of occupational accidents. |
