Farmers' Mental Health: The Mediating Role of Chronic Fatigue.

The agricultural environment is known to be particularly harmful to farmers' psychological health. To better understand how its impact is modulated, this study mainly focuses on the mediating role of chronic fatigue between A) loneliness at work, autonomy, workload, government regulations and policies and financial hardship, and B) life satisfaction, positive affect and psychological distress. The study is based on a sample of 453 Canadian dairy farmers.
