Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to clarify the mental health status and its related factors among male workers during the transition to retirement in orderto build support measures to maintain their mental health and well-being. The mental health status of male workers was assessed by interview and self-administered questionnaires,which elicited their job stress, depressive symptoms (CES-D), perceived health status, life satisfaction, and individual social capital (SC). The results showed that their mental health status improved towards retirement, which was related to the reductionin their job stress and using appropriate coping strategies, and higher individual SC. In order for workers in the retirement transition to keep better mental health, it is important to increase their individual SC as well as to help manage their job stress.
