The workers filled out questionnaire about, Depression, Anxiety, Stress (DASS), Cognitive Processing Inventory (CPI), and personality type tests in the study, and the ISO 9612:2009 standards was used to obtain external noise. Data was collected and analyzed using SPSS version 22 and exact test with 0.05 significant levels.
Results: According to the results, age showed a significant effect on depression, marital status on anxiety, and the shift on employee stress (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Finally one can conclude that given the positive and significant relationship between noise pressure level and cognitive and subjective components in the case group, it is necessary to take effective preventive measures to prevent psychological damage and to maintain workers' health in the industry.
