Silicosis is a preventable, permanent lung disease. The aim of this study was to assess mental health in workers from the artificial stone benchtop industry at risk of silicosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Workers from the artificial stone benchtop industry undergoing assessment for silica\u2010associated disease were included. Information on demographics; occupational, medical and smoking history; modified Medical Research Council dyspnoea scale; Perceived Stress Scale (PSS\u201010) questionnaire; spirometry; and chest x\u2010ray was collected. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were conducted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 547 participants, the majority were men, aged under 45\u2009years, in the industry for less than 10\u2009years. With each increase of dyspnoea score, PSS\u201010 scores increased. Higher PSS\u201010 scores were also observed in those no longer in the industry, with a history of anxiety or depression, attending assessment early in the programme and a medium exposure duration. Participants who used an interpreter reported lower stress. No difference was observed across job title, age, sex, smoking, spirometry or chest x\u2010ray categories after multivariate analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study identified workers with dyspnoea as likely to report higher stress. Other factors, such as leaving the industry, early attendance and a history of anxiety or depression, are also helpful in identifying workers at risk of poorer mental health outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/resp.14257","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,14]],"date-time":"2022-04-14T17:00:33Z","timestamp":1649955633000},"page":"455-461","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Predictors of psychological stress in silica\u2010exposed workers in the artificial stone benchtop industry"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0744-2170","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fiona","family":"Hore\u2010Lacy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Department of Respiratory Medicine Alfred Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5583-8773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jessy","family":"Hansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"Dimitriadis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9150-9440","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryan","family":"Hoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Department of Respiratory Medicine Alfred Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1959-6807","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jane","family":"Fisher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7559-008X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deborah","family":"Glass","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4739-2817","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Malcolm R.","family":"Sim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5694\/mja17.00601"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/resp.13695"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms22084162"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1579-2129(10)70022-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1579-2129(11)70010-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arbres.2010.09.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.11-1321"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","first-page":"129","article-title":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
