就労うつ病女性の家事労働・賃金労働それぞれにおけるストレス要因特徴

Characteristics of stressors on the job and in housework of women with depression

要旨：就労うつ病女性の賃金労働・家事労働上のストレス要因特徴について明らかにすることを目的とした．賃金労働のストレス調査にはNIOSH職業性ストレス調査票，家事労働には家事労働版NIOSHストレス調査票を用い，その得点を各労働間，および健常・うつ病の群間で比較し，就労うつ病女性の特徴を検討した．その結果，労働の違いによるストレス傾向は調査対象7尺度中6尺度にて健常群とうつ病群で同傾向を示したが，賃金労働における量的な負荷はうつ病群で有意にストレスが高く，うつ病対象者の特異的な点であると示唆された．うつ病の有無によるストレス度の違いは7尺度中6尺度にてうつ病群が有意にストレスの高い結果となった．

　This study attempted to investigate characteristics of stressors on the job and in housework among working women with depression. 45 healthy women and 45 women with depression participated in this study. Perceived work stress was evaluated using the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health general job stress questionnaire. Stress from housework was assessed with the NIOSH questionnaire-revised for housekeeping labor, which was prepared by the authors for this study. The questionnaires include 7 scorable items under each topic. The association between these scores on 14 items and depression was analyzed by a two way factorial analysis of variance. Women with depression showed the same tendency as normal women on six of seven items, and the depression group showed higher scores on six items than the normal group. Scores of “quantitative workload” showed interaction. Scores on The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health general job stress questionnaire with the depression group were significantly higher than the normal group (p＜0.05). In the depression group, the scores on The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health general job stress questionnaire were significantly higher than the scores on the NIOSH questionnaire-revised for housekeeping labor (p＜0.05). These results indicate that quantitative workload may be a characteristic factor of women with depression.
