The aims of this research were to study both direct and indirect path analyses of mental health, and to analyse a causal relationship of each variable. A cross-sectional study used stratified random sampling to select Thai immigrant employees in Pranakron Si Ayutthaya Province, Thailand. General data were analysed by number and percentage. The mental health variable was measured by THMHI-15. The latter was analysed by general statistic, and a path analysis. The results found that job conditions and distance travelled between house and workplace had a direct effect on mental health with a standardised regression weight of 0.581, and -0.443, respectively (p value <0.01). It was found that housing conditions had no effect on mental health. The income variable had a direct influence on mental health with a standardised regression weight of 0.68 (p value <0.01). This research indicated that job conditions were an important factor related to mental health.
本研究的目的是研究心理健康的直接和间接路径分析,并分析每个变量之间的因果关系。一项横断面研究采用分层随机抽样方法,选取了泰国大城府巴吞旺县的泰国移民雇员。一般数据通过数量和百分比进行分析。心理健康变量通过THMHI - 15进行测量。后者通过一般统计和路径分析进行分析。结果发现,工作条件和住所与工作场所之间的通勤距离对心理健康有直接影响,标准化回归权重分别为0.581和 - 0.443(p值<0.01)。研究发现住房条件对心理健康没有影响。收入变量对心理健康有直接影响,标准化回归权重为0.68(p值<0.01)。本研究表明,工作条件是与心理健康相关的一个重要因素。
