Abstract

The psychiatric patients as subjects were categorized herein into disease- and accident-triggered groups tostatistically compare them with each other in terms of various comparative items. At a result, male patientswere more dominant than females and physical workers were outnumbered by mental workers in the twogroups. Also, patients were more apparent at workplaces with at least 100 employees than the ones with lessthan 100 employees, and patients whose employment period is at least one year were more vulnerable tostress-related mental disorders than the ones whose employment period falls short of one year. The foregoingfindings suggest that there is a need to take preventive measures considering vulnerable aspects in terms ofmental disorders.
