産業保健スタッフ，管理職，従業員への慢性痛教育プログラム

抄録

In order to educate employees, managers, and occupational health professionals in companies throughout Japan about appropriate knowledge and information about chronic pain, we created the "Chronic Pain Prevention E–Learning". Three courses have been established: one for e–occupational health staff, one for managers, and one for employees. The course for occupational health staff and managers includes content such as the significance of chronic pain countermeasures and how to balance treatment and work. The course for employees includes content such as self–care. The number of applicants was limited to 6,000, and there was no course fee. The number of participants was 3,806 (320 in the occupational health staff course ⁄ 946 in the management course / 2,540 in the employee course), with 190 participating companies and organizations, and the overall completion rate was approximately 40%. More than 80% of participants in all courses indicated that they were satisfied with the content. Surveys using stress checks, which are mandatory for companies, have shown that many high–stress individuals complain of chronic pain. The key to raising awareness and disseminating appropriate knowledge about chronic pain in companies is how to gain the understanding of not only the medical profession, but also management and HR personnel.
