Subjective complaint among Japanese industrial workers has been surveyed by a questionnaire or by interview. Questionnaire survey reflects relative evaluation of each subject against his/her desirable health level. Short questionnaire survey is frequently conducted for the opportunity of annual health examination, though its utilization seems to be not effective. Namely, medical check-up according to the law is precisely evaluated, but assessment of subjective complaint is sometimes unfinished. The author previously applied stress checklist to workers of a Railroad Company and evaluation by self-administered questionnaire is useful for promoting mental health support in the company (1).
The author previously conducted mental health survey to know the association between subjectively evaluated health status and job. The type of work was divided into three as clerk, manufacturer, and sales. Among them, sales workers were marked as requiring mental health support (2). Afterward, stress level of manager was relatively lower than the other job categories (3). To reconfirm this association, the authors planned to conduct surveys using subjective complaints for the mental health management of workers in different job categories. Degree of subjective complaint is not only evaluated by the number of subjective complaints, but the number can easily be quantified and also related to the degree of subjective complaint to some extent.
