摘要

Research studies from different countries have shown that variations in the relationship between some occupational factors and mental health and stress exist. Studies that have investigated this relationship within the Canadian population are limited. The objective of this study was to explore the relationships between the number of working hours, occupation, employment type, sex, and age on mental health and stress. Multivariable and univariate ordinal logistics regression models were applied to the 2017–2018 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) dataset to investigate the associations that may exist between perceived mental health and stress, self-rated variables on a Likert scale, and various occupational factors. When compared to respondents who worked 31–40 h per week, those working 1–10 (OR = 1.20, p < 0.001) and 11–20 (OR = 1.19, p < 0.001) hours per week were more likely to have worse mental health. However, the 1–10 and 11–20 h worked per week groups were 26% and 17%, respectively, less likely to have higher stress compared to the group working 31–40 h per week. Mental health and stress were found to be associated with occupation group, employment type, age, and sex. This study provides evidence on how occupational factors impact mental health and stress within the Canadian population, for which there is a dearth of research on.
