Correlates of work injury frequency and duration among firefighters.
TLDR
Results showed that female firefighters experienced more injuries than male firefighters and several Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory scales (Conversion Hysteria, Psychopathic Deviate, and Social Introversion) were positively related to injury frequency.Abstract:
This study examined demographic, personality, and economic incentive correlates of workplace injuries suffered by 171 firefighters over a 12-year period. Results showed that female firefighters experienced more injuries than male firefighters. Several Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) scales (Conversion Hysteria, Psychopathic Deviate, and Social Introversion) were positively related to injury frequency. Regression analyses revealed that age, tenure, gender, marital status, type of injury, and wage variables were significant when predicting the duration of injuries as well as an interaction between marital status and gender. Two MMPI scales (Psychopathic Deviate and Schizophrenia) were also significantly related to injury duration. Indemnity cost estimates were calculated. The results underscore the importance of distinguishing the duration of injury from the occurrence of injury. Language: enread more

TL;DR: Providing workers with the assessment results and of the implications of EDS for safety may explain the decrease in occupational injuries upon follow-up, which might have occurred either because of workers taking steps to reduce EDS and/or adopting safety behaviors.
