The Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare of Japan recommends that an occupational physician (OP) play an important role in implementing the stress-check program since 2015. This study aimed to compare the activities and encountered difficulties of Japanese part-time OPs in 2008 and 2016, and to investigate the effects of the stress-check program. Questionnaires were sent via mail to 946 part-time OPs in Kyoto prefecture in 2016. Completed questionnaires were returned by 181 OPs who were private practitioners or physicians in hospitals, and served as OPs on a part-time basis. In 2016, OPs utilized long hours for activities related to general health examination and to stress-check. Hours for specific health examination, health and hygiene education, health promotion activity, development of a comfortable workplace, and guidance of workers on sick leave reduced from 2008 to 2016. A total of 62% OPs frequently encountered difficulties in the stress-check-related activities in 2016. Many OPs also reported difficulties in the mental health care and the prevention of health hazard due to overwork both in 2008 and 2016. Enforcement of the stress-check program in 2015 changed the activities of part-time OPs in Japan. OPs should be given opportunities to gain more information in this area.

2008年至2016年日本非全日制职业医生活动的比较研究：压力检查计划的效果。

日本厚生劳动省建议自2015年起，职业医生（OP）在实施压力检查计划中起重要作用。该研究旨在比较日本非全日制OP的活动和遇到的困难2008年和2016年，并调查压力检查计划的效果。问卷于2016年通过邮件发送给京都府的946名兼职医生。填写完整的调查表由181名作为私人执业医生或医院医生的医生返回，并以兼职的方式担任了医生。2016年，OP花费大量时间进行与一般健康检查和压力检查有关的活动。专项健康检查，健康和卫生教育，健康促进活动，舒适的工作场所的开发时间，从2008年到2016年减少了对病假工人的指导和指导。在2016年，共有62％的OP经常在与压力检查相关的活动中遇到困难。许多OP也报告了在心理保健和预防健康危害方面的困难在2008年和2016年都过度劳累。2015年压力检查计划的实施改变了日本兼职OP的活动。应该给OP机会以获取该领域的更多信息。
