Abstract: Objective To understand the relationship between work pressure,coping style and mental health of workers in Baoji City,provide scientific evidence for formulating relevant policies and measures. Methods From August to November in 2023,a survey was conducted among 690 workers in Baoji City using self-designed general demographic data questionnaire,Kessler10 simplified psychological status rating scale,occupational stress indicator questionnaire and simplified coping style questionnaire,and the data were analyzed. Results The Kessler10 score of 690 workers in Baoji City was （20.26±7.84）points,and 74.5% had a lower risk of psychological illness（K10 total score ≤24 points）. The average score of the occupational stress indicator questionnaire was （85.28±29.37）points. 98% of workers tended to adopt positive coping styles. The coping style is negatively correlated with mental health（r=-0.304,P<0.01）,while work pressure was positively correlated with mental health（r=0.373,P<0.01）,and work pressure was negatively correlated with coping style（r=-0.231,P<0.01）. The coping style played a partial mediating role between work pressure and mental health status. The indirect effect value of work pressure on mental health status through coping style was 0.053（β=-0.230,t=-6.503,P<0.01）. Conclusions The work pressure is positively correlated with mental health,with higher work pressure leading to higher mental health scores and poorer mental health status. The work pressure is negatively correlated with coping styles,with higher work pressure leading to a greater tendency towards negative coping styles. By reducing work pressure and promoting positive coping of workers,it is possible to improve mental health levels.
