  3. A Study on the Implementation of Stress Checks to Small-scale Workplaces and the Taking is Effective to Promote the Implementation Reviewed

    <p>Objectives: The Industrial Safety and Health Law implemented in December 2015 mandates that workplaces with more than 50 employees should perform annual stress checks on their employees; workplace with fewer than 50 employees are required only to make an effort to perform such checks. Notably, more than half of all workers in Japan work for workplaces with fewer than 50 employees. Therefore, the effectiveness of this legislation is compromised by its limited applicability to small- scale workplace. This research examined the extent to which workplaces with 30–49 employees provide mental health measures and stress checks, and considered the effective types of taking to promote the implementation of stress checks in a small-scale workplaces.</p><p>Methods: Questionnaires were mailed to workplaces in Aichi Prefecture with 30–49 employees. Data from independent companies were compared with those from branch offices of larger businesses, whereas data from workplaces with and without an individual charged with promoting mental health were also compared.</p><p>Results: The number of workplaces in the independent group was 290, whereas that in the branch group was 331. In the independent group, 55 workplaces appointed an individual to promote mental health, whereas 235 did not; in the branch group, 102 offices appointed an individual to promote mental health, whereas 229 did not. Compared with independent workplaces, a greater proportion of branch offices not only appointed individuals to promote mental health but also actively engaged in efforts to promote mental health. Indeed, stress checks had been performed in almost half of the branch offices surveyed. The workplaces in both groups that appointed an individual to promote mental health reported more positive efforts in this regard and were more likely to implement stress checks. Our data also suggest that the success of extending mandatory stress checks to workplaces with fewer than 50 employees would be facilitated by appointing skilled individuals to promote the mental health of employees in both groups. Such efforts by independent workplaces could be facilitated by an adequate budget, whereas the availability of experts would be of assistance to branch offices. However, public support for use of such services was low in both groups, and this was especially pronounced in independent workplaces.</p><p>Conclusions: A smaller proportion of independent workplaces, compared with branch offices, engaged in not only efforts to promote mental health but also the implementation of stress checks. However, groups with an individual promoting the mental health of employees reported more positive efforts. Encouraging the appointment of individuals charged with promoting employee mental health is expected to lead to a positive approach to stress checking.</p>

    本研究は、国外でも検討が始まっている認知症発症に対する懸念や恐怖といった感情 “Dementia Worry” (以下、DWとする)をもつ中高年者を支援するシステムを構築することを目的とする。具体的には、中高年者の認知症発症についての感情とその背景を詳細なインタビューを通じて明らかにする。次に、明らかになった感情(DW)の有訴率とそれに関連する要因について、郵送法による質問紙調査から明らかにする。そして、その解析結果をもとに、科学的根拠に基づいた認知症発症の脅威をもつ中高年者を支援するシステムを構築する。

    本年度は、中高年者の認知症発症についての感情(懸念、不安、恐怖など)、なぜそのように感じるのか、感情による健康や行動への影響などを明らかにするために地域で生活している中高年者13名を対象に面接調査を行った。面接調査の結果、地域で生活する中高年者は認知症発症について多様な感情(嫌悪、怖い、心配、諦めなど)を持っており、認知症発症しないために、食べ物に気を付けたり、スポーツをしたりするなどの行動をとっていることが明らかとなった。
    昨年度、新型コロナウィルス感染症の感染拡大予防のため、地域で暮らす中高年者を対象とした面接調査が実施できなかったため、全体的に遅れている。
    次年度は、本年度に実施した面接調査の分析をすすめ、その結果に基づいた感情(DW)の有訴率とそれに関連する要因について質問紙調査が実施できるように準備するとともに予備調査、本調査を行うことを予定している。

    Regarding the effects of health guidance on 105 men in 2016, CES-D was used for depression, and the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) was used for insomnia. The health guidance carefully listened to and assessed sleep status and provided advice for good sleep. As a result, in the first year, the number of high scorers with AIS and CES-D decreased significantly. From the first year to the second year, the subject of CES-D scored almost unchanged, and the subject of AIS increased slightly.
    This was a 6-year cohort survey from 2011 to 2017. Data from 1,332 daytime workers were analyzed. The risk of developing depression in the future was associated with insomnia at baseline, after adjusting for age (HR 1.64). The risk of developing depression in the future increased in correlation with greater severity of insomnia at baseline.
