To clarify the relationship between the implementation of health and productivity management (H&PM) and staff health-related attributes in Japanese hospitals.
This study selected 2,000 hospitals from the FY2021 Bed Function Report data and conducted a questionnaire survey from November to December 2023. The questionnaire enquired about the H&PM implementation status, which was the explanatory variable; and health-related attributes, which was the objective variable. The implementation status of the four items and the presence or absence of Excellent H&PM Corporation certification were used to divide the hospitals into three groups: certification, implementation, and non-implementation groups. Logistic regression analysis was conducted with H&PM implementation status and health-related attributes as the variables.
Data from 221 hospitals were analyzed. There were 25 hospitals in the certification group, 68 in the implementation group, and 128 in the non-implementation group. Logistic regression used average monthly physician overtime as the outcome, with non-implementation hospitals as the reference. Results showed significant positive associations for the implementation and certification groups. Clear written policies on H&PM promotion and full-time occupational health staff were also significantly associated. However, health issue understanding, plan formulation, and management training were not linked to physician overtime. Other health-related attributes were also unrelated to H&PM implementation status.
Hospitals engaging in H&PM may provide an appropriate working environment for physicians.
阐明日本医院实施健康与生产力管理(H&PM)与员工健康相关属性之间的关系。
本研究从2021财年病床功能报告数据中选取2000家医院,并于2023年11月至12月进行问卷调查。问卷询问了作为解释变量的H&PM实施状况以及作为目标变量的健康相关属性。使用四个项目的实施状况以及是否拥有优秀H&PM企业认证将医院分为三组:认证组、实施组和未实施组。以H&PM实施状况和健康相关属性为变量进行逻辑回归分析。
分析了221家医院的数据。认证组有25家医院,实施组有68家,未实施组有128家。逻辑回归以每月平均医生加班时间为结果,以未实施医院为参照。结果显示,实施组和认证组存在显著正相关。关于H&PM推广的明确书面政策和全职职业健康工作人员也存在显著关联。然而,对健康问题的理解、计划制定和管理培训与医生加班时间无关。其他健康相关属性也与H&PM实施状况无关。
实施H&PM的医院可能为医生提供适宜的工作环境。
