A study on the health and stress management of the administrative staff at the university

Abstract

In fact, administrative staff of universities did not plan to create the mental health care system. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to establish the mental care system for administrative staff at the university. Two health questionnaires, the THI (Todai Health Index) and the CFSI (Cumulative Fatigue Symptoms Index) were used for administrative staff of 406 people from 16 universities and 9 junior colleges. Then, the health conditions of the administrative staff were surveyed and the results of the survey made clear the impact of stress in the administrative staff at the university. And, in the future, it is necessary to introduce “Guideline of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare—Mental health care for labors on the work place” into universities. It is necessary to consider the characteristics of each job in the universities.
