Abstract

The purpose of this study was to clarify the actual conditions of occupational stress among the professionals of comprehensive community support centers (hereafter referred to as general centers).An anonymous, self-administered questionnaire survey was mailed to 1,500 professionals (public health nurses, chief care managers and certifi ed social workers) employed at general centers throughout Japan. For the survey items, the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), Maslach Burnout Inventry Revised version (MBI) and Sense of Coherence (SOC) were used as stress-related scales, in addition to basic attributes and job consciousness.The number of valid responses was 1,150 (76.7%), and more than 90% of the respondents reported a heavy workload. Overall, 66.4% felt that their job was worthwhile, and 55.7% desired to continue their work. These proportions were signifi cantly higher when the number of professionals employed at a given general center was larger. In addition, regarding the correlations between stress-related scales, negative correlations were found between the GHQ and the SOC and between the MBI and the SOC, and high SOC scores were thought to indicate stable mental health and a low likelihood of burnout.These results suggest that the construction of an ongoing education system focusing on the management of staff stress is imperative in the near future.
