    Abstract:

    Objectives To explore the relationship between the psychological wellbeing and traditional Chinese medicine( TCM) constitutional types of employees in logistics industry. Methods A total of 1 154 employees were surveyed using Symptom Checklist-90( SCL-90) and TCM constitutional type identification questionnaire. Results The total score and five factor scores( i.e., somatization, obsessive-compulsive, expression, anxiety, psychoticism) of SCL-90 were significantly higher in surveyed employees than the national norm( P<0.05). 48.44%( 559/1 154) of the employees were gentleness constitutional type, and 51.56%( 595/ 1 154) were pathological constitutional type. Every factor score of SCL-90 was significantly negatively related to gentleness type scores, and significantly positively related to eight types of pathological constitutional type scores( P < 0.01). The constitutional types of qi-depression, qi-deficiency, dampness-heat and blood stasis can predict the SCL-90 total score positively, while the constitutional types of gentleness and yang-deficiency can predict the SCL-90 total score negatively. Conclusions The overall psychological wellbeing in logistics industry is poor, and employees tend to have pathological constitutional types. There is a close relationship between psychological wellbeing and TCM constitutional types in logistics employees. The constitutional types of qi-depression, qi-deficiency, dampness-heat and blood stasis are risk factors for the psychological distress.
