Résumé

Cette étude vise à cerner les conditions de travail expliquant le niveau de détresse psychologique chez les professionnels et professionnelles exerçant une profession réglementée au Canada. Des analyses de régression multiples multiniveaux furent conduites à partir des données longitudinales de l'Enquête nationale sur la santé de la population (ENSP) où les mesures répétées dans le temps (n1 = 1 727) sont nichées dans les individus (n2 = 276). Les résultats tendent à démontrer que seules les heures travaillées contribuent de manière significative à l'expérience de détresse psychologique dans ces professions et que plus la consommation d'alcool augmente, plus l'utilisation des compétences élève le niveau de détresse psychologique.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify working conditions that could explain the level of psychological distress among Canadian workers practising regulated professions. Multilevel regression analyses were conducted using longitudinal data collected by the National Population Health Survey (NPHS) over a period of 12 years. Repeated measures over time (n1 = 1,727) were nested within individuals (n2 = 276). These analyses show that only the number of hours worked contributed significantly to the experience of psychological distress among workers practising regulated professions. The results also showed that as alcohol consumption increased, skill utilization increased the level of psychological distress.
