摘要

Background

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a notable decrease in market share and production capacity, which has coincided with an increase in mental health challenges, particularly among migrant electronics workers in China.

Methods

To assess their psychological well-being, the Symptom Check list 90 Revised (SCL-90-R) was administered to 1,544 migrant electronics workers in Kunshan. Out of the respondents, 280 individuals who exhibited SCL-90-R scores exceeding the national average participated in an intervention program. This program comprised psychological counseling, peer support, and knowledge training sessions focused on effective communication with peers.

Results

The findings indicated that migrant workers reported higher levels of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, and anxiety compared to the national average. The intervention program was associated with a significant reduction in SCL-90-R scores, decreasing from 153.33 ± 20.91 to 121.9 ± 11.43(P < 0.05).

Conclusions

The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of integrating occupational health considerations with psychological well-being in mental health interventions.
