This research examines the incidence of occupational injuries, illnesses, and assaults (OIIAs) associated with exposures to psychosocial stressors experienced in the workplace such as generalized workplace harassment (GWH), sexual harassment (SH), and job pressure and threat (JPT). Additionally, coping mechanisms such as social support at work and away from work and problem drinking habits were examined to determine whether there were effects beyond the effects of psychosocial job stressors predicting OIIAs.

520 $a This research examines the incidence of occupational injuries, illnesses, and assaults (OIIAs) associated with exposures to psychosocial stressors experienced in the workplace such as generalized workplace harassment (GWH), sexual harassment (SH), and job pressure and threat (JPT). Additionally, coping mechanisms such as social support at work and away from work and problem drinking habits were examined to determine whether there were effects beyond the effects of psychosocial job stressors predicting OIIAs.
520 $a Two waves of data were collected via a nation-wide random-digit-dial telephone survey from 2003--2004. There were 2,151 study interviews conducted during wave-1 (2003--2004) in English or Spanish, and 1,418 interviews conducted at wave-2 (2004--2005) in English or Spanish. Cross tabulation analyses with Pearson's Chi-Square, and logistic regression were used to analyze data.
520 $a Cross-sectional data analyses showed the effects of GWH (C.I.:1.10--1.15, p ≤ 0.005), SH (C.I.:1.06--1.17, p ≤ 0.05), and JPT (C.I.:1.04--1.07, p < 0.005) were associated with increased risk of OIIAs. When the coping mechanisms were examined, an increased risk of experiencing an OIIA beyond the effects of psychosocial job stressors was associated with social support at work (O.R.=1.09; p ≤ 0.05) utilization.
520 $a Longitudinal data analyses showed that experiencing GWH, SH, and JPT at wave-1 were not significantly associated with experiencing OIIA one year later. Additionally, coping mechanism utilization was not significantly associated with OIIA one year later.
520 $a Conclusions in this study show that younger workers and Hispanic workers were at higher risk of experiencing an OIIA, as were workers who worked in the service and production/transportation sectors. The coping mechanism of eliciting social support at work was significantly associated with OIIA beyond the effects of occupational psychosocial stressors controlling for age, sex, racial and occupational groups in the cross-sectional study. However, no significant associations between psychosocial stressors or coping mechanisms were found in the longitudinal study. This research provides important information relevant to health and safety professionals practicing in private industry and public safety sectors who deal with workers.
