Abstract

To prevent poor mental health status in workers, it is necessary to minimize workplace stress and strengthen the stress resilience of individual workers. We focused on the sense of coherence (SOC) as an individual stress-coping ability and discussed SOC and occupational stress. Furthermore, we investigated previously published studies of resilience, which is a similar concept to SOC that has recently gained attention, and of occupational stress. The results indicated that specific support that was designed to increase SOC and resilience to prevent poor mental health status required the construction of a program including a cognitive-behavioral therapy approach, improvements to daily living habits, and acquisition of communication skills and that the effects of this program then need to be verified.
