| Abstract |
To investigate prospective associations between working conditions and depressive symptoms in Swedish men and women, a representative sample of 5985 gainfully employed Swedes 16-64 years of age was surveyed by means of a questionnaire on work demands, decision authority, and support and conflicts. Depressive symptoms were recorded by a short version of the depression subscale of the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90). Data were subjected to linear regression analyses. Depressive symptoms were found to be associated with conflicts with fellow workers among men. Other important associations included decision authority in both men and women, job demands in men and support from fellow workers in women. |
