Objective To assess the relationship among psychological resilience, psychological pressure, and mental health of newly recruited production line workers who were born after 1990 in three manufacturing factories in Shenzhen.
Conclusion Production line workers who were born after 1990 and started working one week ago were selected from three manufacturing factories in Shenzhen. The Chinese Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS), and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-20) were used to assess their psychological resilience, psychological pressure, and mental health.
Results A total of 800 employees participated the questionnaire survey, and 753 questionnaires were validated (94.13%). Gender showed statistically significant differences in the scores of tension, psychological pressure, tough, self-affirmation, melancholy, and mental health (P< 0.05), but not in other parameters (P> 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in all the psychological parameters between only child or not (P> 0.05). Linear relationships were found between the scores of psychological resilience, psychological stress, and mental health: a positive correlation between the scores of psychological resilience and mental health (r=0.874, P< 0.01); a negative correlation between the psychological resilience and psychological stress scores (r=-0.632, P< 0.01); and a negative correlation between the scores of psychological pressure and mental health (r=-0.608, P< 0.01). Psychological resilience and psychological pressure were predictive factors, and after these two factors were included in the regression equation, the prediction effect of psychological pressure on mental health was lowered from 0.452 to 0.070, suggesting psychological resilience as a partial intermediate variable of psychological stress and mental health.
Conclusion There are linear relationships between psychological resilience, psychological stress, and mental health of the new recruits in Shenzhen manufacturing industry, and the prediction effect of psychological stress on mental health is realized through psychological resilience which works as an intermediary variable.
