The Role of Psychologist in the Stress Check System

Abstract

In the stress check system enforced since December 2015, the roles of clinical psychologist and industrial counselor are limited. However, they are expected to have an interview to collect basic information from individuals who are diagnosed as highly stressed, prior to the medical interview by physicians. They are requested to know the stress check system, to conduct adequate assessment, and to master how to interview. In this workshop, we introduced the outline of the stress check system and Brief Job Stress Questionnaire, and discussed the role of psychologist.
