Background and Aim: Offshore jobs in the oil industry are considered one of the most stressful jobs. The aim of this study was to determine the role of self-care and self-efficacy behaviors in predicting the mental health of employees in the offshore industry.
Methods: This is a quantitative and correlational study. The statistical population included all employees in the offshore industry working on projects and vessels, as well as oil and gas platforms in 2022. A total number of 152 people was selected by a simple random sampling method according to the table of Morgan. Data collection tools included Self-Care Behavior Questionnaire, General Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, Mental Health Questionnaire.
Results: There is a positive and significant relationship between self-care behaviors and self-efficacy (r = 25.2; P <0.001). There is also a positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy and mental health (r = 0.17; P <0.05). Self-care and self-efficacy behaviors can predict the mental health of offshore employees (R2 = 0.371).
Conclusion: According to the current findings, it can be said that self-care and self-efficacy behaviors can predict the mental health of employees in the offshore industry. This shows the importance of paying attention to the mental health of employees working in the offshore industry. |
