Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to examine the prevalence of depressive symptoms assessed using CES-D and its association with work environment characteristics and to identify gender differences. The prevalence of depressive symptoms differed significantly by gender: 17.3% for males and 31.7% for females. For both genders, a demanding work environment was related to depression. Farm managers with higher net agricultural income ratio, good feeding and high milk quality, which indicates the latent meaning of "well-managed farm systems" were associated with depressive symptoms. Improving the mental health of agricultural employees should be emphasized for sustainable agriculture. There is a need to formulate policies and establish social systems that consider the physical and psychological health of dairy farm workers.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

酪農家の精神的健康状態は,他の産業の労働者に比べて悪いことが国外で報告されているが,国内での調査事例は対象者へのアクセスの困難さから少ない。酪農従事者は日本の食生活を支える重要な使命を担っており,農村特有の文化を加味した支援方法を構築し支える必要がある.本研究の遂行によって,人の心身の健康状態の現状,環境負荷量およびその相互関係が示され,解決すべき課題が抽出された.持続可能な酪農を促進するために社会的なサポートを考える上で貴重な資料となった.
