Abstract

The prevalence of PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERs in different countries shows that these disorders are a substantial part of the global disease burden in many developing countries. According to the WHO estimates, 500 millions people around the world suffer from some kind of PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDER and almost half of them have minor disorders like depression and anxiety.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study on employees of fire department in Tehran, Iran. Twentyeight item version of GENERAL HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE (GHQ) was applied as a measure of current mental health. Surveys carried out in Iran using this questionnaire indicate that the validity and reliability of this measure are 0.68-0.84 and 0.93-0.94, respectively. In this study, we used traditional ranking with a cut point of 6.Results: Mean age was 34.38 (SD: 9.6), 83.9% of employees were high school graduates, 85.4% of them were official employees, 49.3% had 1-3 family members, 47% were exclusively FIREFIGHTERs and 90% had hand-on jobs. The prevalence of suspected PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERs, according to the traditional ranking and cut point of 6, was 15.2% (SE: 0.35). There was a positive, statistically significant relation between the rate of suspected PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERs and age, duration of working in current job and the level of education.Conclusion: The results of this study, in accordance with other studies, underscore that the study of mental health provides valuable information for managers, organizations and service providing centers for educational planning, treatment and prevention of PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERs.
