Environmental Effects on Mental Health

 Paste quoted text from the Methods section of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks or a bullet mark:
In this study the general health questionnaire was used for data gathering. This auto run questionnaire has been designed for evaluating mental health and mental disorders in
Societies.
 Write your translation on the next line:
I understand that the health questionnaire was used to gather data to identify individuals with mental disorders

Paste quoted text from the Introduction of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:
In some industrial units like electrical power stations, harmful agents that can cause neurological and psychological disorders are detectable. Physical factors such as sound and electromagnetic fields, mechanical factor and chemical agents are some examples for these harmful factors

 Write your translation on the next line:
I understand that mental health outcomes were a central focus of this research because work-related psychological disorders are a major occupational health issue, especially in environments where workers are simultaneously exposed to electromagnetic fields and noise.

Paste quoted text from the Results section in the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:
This study shows that the quality of mental health in groups which were exposed to ELE electromagnetic field is less than the exposed groups. The health index among the office staff is 63.3% while it is 49.1 % among the group which was exposed to sound. Note that the office staff and the group expose to sound are supposed as the electromagnetic exposed group. The health index for the group which was exposed
to electromagnetic field is estimated about 21.8%.
 Write your translation on the next line:
A major finding of the study was that mental health quality was markedly poorer in workers exposed to electromagnetic fields compared to non-exposed groups. The mental health index was: 63.3% among office staff (non-exposed), 49.1% among workers exposed to noise, 21.8% among workers exposed to electromagnetic fields.

Paste quoted text from the Discussion section of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:
The results of this study indicate that the prevalence of mental disorders among groups of staff which were exposed to electromagnetic field and noise is significant (78.2%) (Table 2). Due to the results obtained from the fourfold scaled questionnaire 94.5% of these people were suspected to have social dysfunctions too 61.8% of them showed symptoms of anxiety and sleep disorders 18.2% of them were depressed and 54.5% had complains about physical symptoms.
 Write your translation on the next line:
The markedly high prevalence of mental disorders (78.2%) among workers exposed to electromagnetic fields and noise indicates that current workplace conditions may pose a substantial mental health risk and physical symptoms.

What future research should follow up on this work?
Providing consulting services and treatments can promote worker’s health status. It can also have positive individual, social, and economic effects. Optimizing work environment and controlling harmful factors such as heat, light, noise, vibration, etc. that can affect mental health of workers is recommended

What did you not understand about this paper that someone else may be able to help you with? Or, if you understood everything, what did you find most challenging to understand?
I didn’t quite understand how Chisquare and one-way ANOV A were used to collected data in order to come up with that conclusion.
It was recommended that Examinations before employment and measuring physical and mental ability of workers are useful,I didn’t understand how that was useful because once they start working in electromagnetic fields ,overtime they will start to experience mental dsyfunctions and physical symptoms.
