In this study, we investigated the usefulness of Bourdon's cancellation test. Sixty-five university students participated in this study. The results of multiple linear regression analysis for cognitive function, social adaptation, mood/fatigue, sleep, and age influenced Bourdon's cancellation test results. Subjective recovery of Inventory Scale for Mood and Sense of Fatigue Second Version (SMSF Ver.2) (β=0.43), attention and information processing speed of the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia Japanese Version (BACS-J) (β=−0.37), and interpersonal relationships of Social Adaptation Self-evaluation Scale Japanese Version (SASS-J) (β=−0.30) and sleep time (β=−0.29) were related to total time. Subjective recovery of SMSF Ver.2 (β=−0.59), sleep time (β=0.35), and executive function of BACS-J (β=−0.29) were related to number of oversights. Mood of SMSF Ver.2 (β=−0.51), interpersonal relationship of SASS-J (β=0.42), execution function of BACS-J (β=−0.33), and age (β=0.31) and motor function of BACS-J (β=−0.29) were related to number of mistakes. Execution function of BACS-J (β=0.30) was related to upper discrepancy time. Interpersonal relationship of SASS-J (β=−0.43) and execution function of BACS-J (β=0.28) were related to lower discrepancy time. Execution function of BACS-J (β=0.36) and boredom of SMSF Ver.2 (β=0.33) were related to average discrepancy time. The Bourdon's cancellation test may be able to measure business performance.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the Return-to-Work Program based on changes in psychological scale scores. Return-to-work program was conducted at a psychiatric clinic for patients on medical leave due to mental health disorders. Four questionnaires were used (BDI-II, STAI, LSAS-J, and SASS-J) and the evaluation was conducted before and after the program. We statistically analyzed the changes of these questionnaire scores and the outcomes after returning to work. As a result, improvements were found in all questionnaire surveys. It was suggested that this program was effective not only for patients who take a leave for the first time but also for patients who repeatedly take a leave of absence. In addition, the results showed that the STAI score of the suspended group were higher than that of the reinstated group. It was suggested that the importance of care for patients with high anxiety at the start of the program.
