“…The figures in the other branches hovered around 30%. Our findings are at variance with Holberg [3], who reported low rates for technical and electronics cadre. However he reported low rates for administrative cadre which is similar to our study.…”

“…A longitudinal study over eleven years has shown that men assigned to culinary work had the highest health risks for stress related illness. Groups with elevated hospitalisation rates included construction/ manufacturing, deck, ordinance, and engineering personnel, whereas lowest rates were observed for miscellaneous technical, electronics and administrative/ clerical jobs [3]. A healthy lifestyle such as regular exercise, abstaining from smoking and moderate drinking has also been associated in preventing premature death in a forty year follow-up study of naval personnel [4].…”

Introduction: Increased stress levels have been reported and it has been implicated for mental illness amongst service personnel. However no study has been reported among Indian naval sailors. Methods: Occupational stress and life satisfaction was measured in 413 naval personnel serving afloat and ashore. Result: Naval personnel serving on board submarine and ship had lower levels of occupational stress as compared to those serving on shore establishments. Occupational stress scores were higher among junior sailors (36.7%) as compared to officers and senior sailors (20%). Life satisfaction scores were lower in junior sailors. Greater occupational stress was linked to lower life satisfaction. Conclusion: The findings of high occupational stress in junior sailors needs to be investigated further with a larger sample.

“…Health professionals (e.g., physicians, dentists, nurses, and health technologists) have higher than expected rates of suicide (Guralnick, 1963;Milham, 1983) and of alcohol and drug abuse (Hoiberg, 1982). Nurses and other health care workers have increased rates of hospital admissions for mental disorders (Gundersson & Colcord, 1982;Hoiberg, 1982) and elevated admission rates to mental health centers (Colligan, Smith, & Hurrell, 1977). Burnout is particularly prevalent among health, human service, and teaching professionals (Maslach, 1982).…”

“…Ces conclusions s'appuient sur différentes études qui ont notamment montré un risque accru de problèmes de santé mentale reliés à certains types et à certaines caractéristiques de travail. Aussi l'identification de certains emplois ou secteurs d'activité économique qui seraient plus à risque que d'autres de problèmes de santé mentale constitue un indice qui permet d'identifier le travail comme un déterminant important de la santé mentale (Hoiberg, 1982;Colligan et al, 1977). Au Québec, en utilisant les données de l'enquête Santé Québec de 1987, on a pu identifier certains emplois et certaines professions qui sont plus à risque de détresse psychologique.…”

Dans les pays occidentaux, les problèmes de santé mentale sont en croissance et représentent l'une des principales causes de morbidité de la population, avec une prévalence annuelle qui varie de 15 à 25 %. Les conséquences de cette morbidité se font sentir de façon importante au chapitre de la capacité de travail des individus. Plusieurs éléments liés notamment à l'évolution de l'organisation et des conditions de travail au cours des dernières années incriminent le milieu de travail dans l'explication de l'origine de cette nouvelle « épidémie ». S'il y a une relative unanimité sur l'importance des problèmes de santé mentale au travail, il n'en va pas de même de la compréhension de l'origine de ces problèmes, et par voie de conséquence, des stratégies à mettre en oeuvre pour les contrer. De l'ensemble des recherches qui ont tenté d'expliquer ce phénomène, trois approches sont considérées de façon particulière : l'approche causaliste, l'approche cognitiviste et enfin, l'approche de la psychodynamique du travail. Même si l'approche cognitive permet de comprendre pourquoi certains facteurs de stress identifiés par l'approche eausaliste peuvent être pathogènes, elle apparaît un peu réductionniste en ramenant les problêmes de santé mentale au travail à l'échec des efforts d'adaptation des individus. Contrairement à l'interprétation cognitive et aux actions individuelles auxquelles nous conduit l'approche du stress, la psychodynamique du travail débouche sur un questionnement de l'intelligibilité de l'origine organisationnelle des problèmes de santé mentale au travail, en analysant l'interface dynamique et évolutive entre les objectifs que poursuivent l'individu, l'organisation et le groupe de travail.In western countries, mental health problems are increasing and represent one of the major causes of morbidity of the population with an annual prevalence varying from 15 to 25%. Consequences of this morbidity are more importantly felt on the working capacity of individuals. Several elements linked particularly to the evolution of the organization and working conditions in the course of the last years incriminate the workplace in explaining the origin of this new "epidemic". If there is a relative unanimity on the importance of mental health problems at work, it is not the case with the understanding of the origin of these problems and, consequently, of the strategies to put in place to counter them. Of the entire studies that have attempted to explain this phenomenon, three approaches are considered: the causalist approach, the cognitivist approach and finally, the psychodynamic approach. Even if the cognitivist approach allows to understand why some stress factors identified by the causalist approach can be pathogenic, it appears a bit reductionist by linking mental health problems at work with the failure of people's efforts of adaptation. Contrarily to the cognitivist interpretation and to individual actions which brings us to the approach to stress, the psychodynamic of work leads to a questioning of the intelligibili...
