Characteristics of long working hours and subsequent psychological and physical responses: JNIOSH cohort study
Conclusions
Longer AWH was associated with higher levels of psychological stress responses. The effects of FLWH in the past 6 months varied among the psychological stress responses and did not occur for physical complaints. Under circumstances requiring long hours, workers’ mental health should be protected through minimising the frequency of long work hours.
