Abstract
The purpose of this study was to estimate the effect of sufficiency of one's life values on subjective feeling of stress of residents.
We surveyed 2022 residents aged 30-69 years of age, and questioned sufficiency of values for 13 life items to estimate subjective feeling of stress by self-rating of 5 grades.
Correlation between sufficiency of one's values for life items and subjective feeling of stress was analyzed by multivariate analysis.
The results obtained were as follows.
1)The life value items significantly related to subjective feeling of stress were found to be health, family, job, hobby/leisure, residential circumstances and income.
2)The life value item significantly related to subjective feeling of stress in males was found to be job, health, income, residential circumstances, and family, while in females it was family, hobby/leisure, and health.
3)The life value items significantly related to subjective feeling of stress people in their 30's were found to be family job, health, and hobby/leisure. For people in their 40's they were health, for people in their 50's family, and for those in their 60's residential circumstances.
The present study suggests that, from the point of sufficiency of one's values, irrespective of sex health and family are strongly correlated to subjective feeling of stress of residents.
