ABSTRACT
Objective To establish symptom check list 90 (SCL-90) norm for Chinese oilmen.Methods Based on multi-level stratified or cluster sampling technique,a total of 13 472 oilmen from China National Petroleum Corporation completed a sampling survey on measured data of SCL-90.Student's t test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to compare gender,age,education level and marriage status.Results All the reliability coefficients were ＞ 0.8 and P for validity test was ＜ 0.05.In comparison with SCL-90 norm of healthy Chinese adults in 1986,the interpersonal sensitive (1.5 ± 0.6)and paranoia (1.4 ± 0.6) of oilmen were lower (t≤-4.17,both P ＜ 0.05),although other 8 factors showed higher scores (t ≥ 2.4,all P ＜ 0.05).Oilmen also had lower scores for each item than Chinese army men (t ≤-2.62,all P ＜ 0.05).Total score (131.4 ± 47.7),interpersonal sensitive (1.4 ± 0.6),hostility (1.5 ± 0.6),paranoia (1.4 ± 0.6) and psychosis (1.3 ± 0.5) of females were lower than those of males (t≥2.53,all P ＜ 0.05).30-39 years group indicated the highest scores for each item (all P ＜0.05),while 17-29 years group got the lowest (all P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile,the subjects whose education level was equate to or lower than high school or those got married were found to have the highest scores (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Our data show better item differentiation,reliability and validity of SCL-90.SCL-90 norm may be used for mental health assessment of Chinese oilmen.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo provide evidence for the development of national norm of coping style for petrol station employee.MethodsStratified random sampling surveys and individual interview were performed in 13 269 in-service petroleum employees.Taking gender,age,education level and marriage as independent variables and coping factors as dependent variables,t test or analysis of variance was completed.Results Our data indicated that coping style was significantly changed in different gender ( P＜0.05),age (F=4.596,P＜0.05),education (F=14.723,P＜0.05) and marriage groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Specified working environment results in corresponding coping style,and the development of national norm may be important and necessary.
