ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the role of sociopsychological factors in occupational hand injury and to provide a reference for intervention measures.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The sociopsychological factors in 150 patients with occupational hand injury who were admitted to the Department of Hand Surgery from January to June in 2014 and 150 pair-matched normal controls were surveyed using self-made questionnaire and Life Event Scale (LES). A comparative study was carried out using t test, χ² test, and conditional logistic regression analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The demographic characteristics, such as length of service, education level, and marital status, showed significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05) ; the LES total score and values of positive life events and negative life events also showed significant differences between the study group and control group (P<0.01) ; single-factor and multi-factor conditional logistic regression analyses showed that length of service, marital status, and negative events score were statistically significant variables (P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Sociopsychological factors play an important role in the occurrence of occupational hand injury.</p>
