Prevalence of mental disorders in employees of Khorasan Petrochemical Company in 1399

The mental health of the employees of the petrochemical company is of special importance due to their nature and job sensitivity. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of mental disorders in employees of Khorasan Petrochemical Company in 2019.

The method of the present study is descriptive and screening in terms of purpose. The statistical population of the present study was all employees of Khorasan Petrochemical Company in 2019، ie 2000 people، which was determined by the relative class method according to the job category and relative to the statistical population and using the Cochran's formula، the sample size was 254 people. The Minnesota Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MMPI) was used to collect data and the data were analyzed using SPSS-24 software.

The results showed that the total prevalence of disorders is 43.3% and most employees have self-morbidity (15.7%)، depression (15.00%) and schizoid (16.5%). Also، a higher percentage of employees are exposed to autism (26.8%)، depression (23.6%) and schizoid (27.2%). There was also a significant difference between men and women in terms of morbidity، mild mania and masculine and feminine characteristics. There was a significant difference in self-morbidity and depression disorders based on the level of education of employees. But there was no difference between employees in the prevalence of mental disorders according to the type of contract، work experience، age group and marital status.

Considering the prevalence of mental disorders in petrochemical company employees، their importance and job sensitivity and also the difference between the results between various epidemiological studies، conducting consistent research in the same way in other petrochemical companies and periodic examinations to control employees' mental health. It seems necessary.
