The aim of this study was to explore cross-cultural differences in symptoms of burnout, anxiety, depression, general psychological distress, and secondary traumatic stress between Asian (Japan) and European (Switzerland) midwives. One hundred seventy midwives participated in the study. There were significant differences in age group [χ(3) = 24.2, < 0.01], marital or relationship status [χ(2) = 28.4, < 0.01], and years of experience [χ(2) = 17.8, < 0.01] between the two countries. The Japanese staff were younger, more often unmarried, and had less experience than the Swiss staff. The mean score of depersonalization was significantly higher in Switzerland (4.8 ± 3.8) than in Japan (3.2 ± 3.7; || = 2.71, < 0.01). The mean score of general psychological distress in the Swiss sample (12.8 ± 6.5) was significantly higher than that in the Japanese sample (10.3 ± 6.2; || = 2.04, = 0.04). In addition, the mean score of secondary traumatic stress was higher in the Swiss sample (31.8 ± 9.7) than in the Japanese sample (24.1 ± 8.6; || = 4.56, < 0.01). These results may reflect cultural differences such as working conditions or family environment between Japan and Switzerland.
本研究的目的是探讨亚洲（日本）和欧洲（瑞士）助产士在职业倦怠、焦虑、抑郁、一般心理困扰和继发性创伤应激症状方面的跨文化差异。170名助产士参与了该研究。两国在年龄组[χ(3)=24.2，<0.01]、婚姻或恋爱状况[χ(2)=28.4，<0.01]以及工作年限[χ(2)=17.8，<0.01]方面存在显著差异。日本员工比瑞士员工更年轻，未婚比例更高，且经验更少。瑞士的人格解体平均得分（4.8±3.8）显著高于日本（3.2±3.7；||=2.71，<0.01）。瑞士样本的一般心理困扰平均得分（12.8±6.5）显著高于日本样本（10.3±6.2；||=2.04，=0.04）。此外，瑞士样本的继发性创伤应激平均得分（31.8±9.7）高于日本样本（24.1±8.6；||=4.56，<0.01）。这些结果可能反映了日本和瑞士之间工作条件或家庭环境等文化差异。
