Is a single item stress measure independently associated with subsequent severe injury: a prospective cohort study of 16385 forest industry employees

摘要

BackgroundA previous review showed that high stress increases the risk of occupational injury by three- to five-fold. However, most of the prior studies have relied on short follow-ups. In this prospective cohort study we examined the effect of stress on recorded hospitalised injuries in an 8-year follow-up.
