This study aimed to clarify whether work-related adverse events in cases involving compensation for mental disorders and suicide differ by sex and industry using a database containing all relevant cases reported from 2010 to 2014 in Japan.
A total of 1362 eligible cases involving compensation for mental disorders (422 females and 940 males) were analyzed.
Among males, 55.7% of cases were attributed to "long working hours." In both sexes, the frequencies of cases attributed to "long working hours" and other events differed significantly by industry. Among cases involving compensation for suicide, 71.4% were attributed to "long working hours."
The frequency distribution of work-related adverse events differed significantly by sex and industry. These differences should be taken into consideration in the development of industry-specific preventive measures for occupational mental disorders.
本研究旨在利用包含日本 2010 年至 2014 年所有相关报告病例的数据库,明确涉及精神障碍和自杀赔偿的工作相关不良事件是否因性别和行业而异。
共分析了 1362 例符合条件的涉及精神障碍赔偿的病例(422 名女性和 940 名男性)。
在男性中,55.7%的病例归因于“长时间工作”。在两性中,归因于“长时间工作”和其他事件的病例频率因行业而异。在涉及自杀赔偿的病例中,71.4%归因于“长时间工作”。
工作相关不良事件的频率分布因性别和行业而异。在制定针对职业精神障碍的特定行业预防措施时,应考虑这些差异。
