Introduction

Mining work and environment are the hardest and most difficult jobs in the labor market, increasing the risk of physical and mental illness. A study was conducted to determine the level of stress in mine workers and evaluate the relationship between depression and stress.

Objectives

To determine the level of stress in mine workers and evaluate the relationship between depression and stress.

Methods

Questionnaires were collected from mine workers using the stress detection test (SRQ) and depression detection test (PHQ9) developed by the World Health Organization for doctors.

Results

2.2% (95) of the respondents are male and 7.8% (8) are female workers. Of these, 70.9% work night shifts, 24.3% do not work night shifts, and 4.8% occasionally work night shifts. Comparing the stress levels of the respondents by age, 1.9% (2) of 20-24-year-olds are moderately stressed, 3.9% (4) of 25-29-year-olds are moderately stressed, and 4.8% (5) are stressed. 30-34-year-olds have moderate stress, 1.9% (2) have high stress, 1% (1) of 35-39-year-olds have moderate stress, 1.9% (2) have high stress, and 1% (1) have high stress. 40-44 have moderate, 1% (1) high, and 1% (1) 45-49 have moderate stress. The depression status of the participants compared to the 20-24-year-olds was 1% (1) transient mood depression, 1% (1) moderate depression, and 25-29-year-olds self-correcting transient mood 4.8% depression (5), 4.8% moderate depression (5), 1% (1) moderate depression, 1% (1) severe depression, 5.8% (6) depressed, 4.8% ((5)) moderate depression, 1.9% (2) moderate depression, 35-39-year-old spontaneous self-correction (68%). 7) with depression, 1.9% (2) with moderate depression, temporary self-correction at the age of 40-44 1.9% (2) with depression, 1% (1) with severe depression, temporary at the age of 45-49 2.9% (3) have depression. According to this, it can be considered that 25-44-year-olds are at risk of depression with a high depression index.

Conclusions

The study concluded that 25-44-year-olds are at risk of depression with a high depression index, indicating that they are at risk of depression.
