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.
