Navigating the Road to Resilience (RR): understanding the work environment's influence on mental health among Indian truck drivers
The study concludes that multiple factors significantly influence the likelihood of experiencing depression among truck drivers. Based on these findings, several recommendations are proposed to help reduce depression rates in this population. These include making mental health services readily available and accessible, implementing strict regulations on working hours to prevent excessive fatigue, and preventing police humiliation and abuse. This research contributes to the growing concern about the mental health of truck drivers in India and underscores the need for effective interventions to address these issues comprehensively.
