Abstract
The aim of this study was to clarify measures for improving the functionality of health consultations by occupational physicians, by examining factors associated with workers' perceived helpfulness of, and need for, these consultations. An anonymous self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted at a Japanese manufacturing plant. Multiple regression analyses showed that workers' perceived helpfulness of, and need for, health consultations given by an occupational physician was held in common and significantly associated with the occupational physician's dedication and complete protection of privacy. For health consultations given by occupational physicians to be effective, it is necessary to help employees realize the physicians' outstanding dedication and to convey to the workers the absolute assurance of their privacy protection.
