Abstract EN
A cross-sectional exploratory study was conducted to describe the psychosocial health status of persons seeking health care for exposure to Libby amphibole asbestos (LAA).
Health indicators including depression, stress, acceptance of illness, and satisfaction with access and financial aspects of care were obtained via electronic and paper-pencil survey.
The exposure pathway and demographic data were gleaned from the health record.
Of the 386 participants, more than one-third (34.5%) demonstrated significant levels of psychological distress.
The oldest group of women had the lowest levels of depression and stress and the highest acceptance of illness.
Gender, age, and satisfaction with financial resources were significantly related to depression, stress, and acceptance of illness.
Satisfaction with access to care was significant only for stress.
No differences in depression, stress, and acceptance of illness were found based on residence, exposure pathway, or insurance status.
