高ストレス者へのサポートのあり方について

抄録

The Stress Check Program is a new national occupational health policy that aims to promote primary prevention of mental health disorders among workers. The workers who are assessed as being under high stress conditions are recommended to undergo face-to-face guidance with a physician designated by the employer. The guidance includes a check of working conditions and of mental burden and mental and physical conditions, health guidance for reducing stress, and encouragement to receive medical consultation as necessary.

This paper describes some points to be considered in planning and conducting the guidance.

The people involved should discuss such things as how to conduct health consultation for workers who do not desire to undergo face-to-face guidance, how to give effective guidance within a limited period of time, and what workplace actions to take for workers who are under high stress conditions.
