Abstract
The study aimed to make a comparison of levels of mental health
between medical and non-medical staff in city of Hamedan in winter
2002. Considering stress factors specific to hospitals and the fact that
hospital staff are in frequent contact with human illnesses and death,
the study hypothesized and aimed to test that staff working in medical
staff working in hospitals had poorer mental health than those working
in a non-medical workplace, and that women were more vulnerable to
the stress factors. The study followed a causal-comparative design,
and the sample population included 125 medical staff member from 4
medical centers and 98 staff members from 3 non-medical centers in
city of Hamedan. Subjects were selected using convenient sampling.
The scale used was General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), in which
a cut-off point of 23 was considered for the scale and 6 for each
subscale. The data were analyzed using chi-square and odds ratio. The
results showed that 41.6% of the medical staff and 49% of the nonmedical staff were above the cut-off point, but that the difference
between results for each subscale was not significant in the two
groups. The relationship between gender and prevalence of mental
disorder in the medical staff was, however, significant. Based on the
results, the study suggests that stable managerial decisions, and hence
increased predictability of circumstances, can improve mental health
of the staff.
