Development and Validation of the Japanese Version of the Revised Publication Pressure Questionnaire ( PPQr ‐J)
In academic settings, publication pressure or the demand for high publication output in prestigious journals is significantly linked to negative mental health outcomes and may lead to questionable research practices. The Revised Publication Pressure Questionnaire (PPQr) was developed to assess these pressures globally; however, this questionnaire has not been adapted to the unique academic environment in Japan. In this study, the Japanese version…
Association of Personal Values in Adolescence with Subjective Health Status, Meaning in Life, and Life Satisfaction in Adulthood
This study aimed to replicate a previous finding of the association between personal values in adolescence and health/mental well‐being in adulthood among workers, in a large community sample, with an additional focus on eudemonic well‐being. A cross‐sectional study was conducted in urban and suburban cities of Japan. Subjective health status, eudemonic well‐being (meaning in life), and life satisfaction in adulthood were measured in 2010; 11 typ…
Quantity and quality of napping to mitigate fatigue and sleepiness among nurses working long night shifts
Background Napping during night shifts is a countermeasure against fatigue and sleepiness, which both impact patient safety. However, there is insufficient evidence on how nurses nap, especially concerning their napping quality. This study explored night-shift napping and its associated factors among nurses, considering napping quantity and quality, to mitigate fatigue and sleepiness. Methods This month-long prospective observational study includ…
The association between team job crafting and work engagement among nurses
Ward-level team job crafting at baseline did not predict nurses' work engagement, work performance, psychological distress, or intention to leave at a three-month or six-month follow-up. The impact of ward-level team job crafting may attenuate over several months
The validation of Chinese version of workplace Perma-profiler and the association between workplace well-being and fatigue
The Chinese version Workplace PERMA-Profiler indicate nice reliability and validity. Furthermore, all CIS dimensions were negatively influenced by Positive Emotion, while commonly positively associated with Engagement

The effect of internet-based acceptance and commitment therapy (iACT) on psychological well-being among working women with a pre-school child
Effects of 90 Min Napping on Fatigue and Associated Environmental Factors among Nurses Working Long Night Shifts
For nurses working long night shifts, it is imperative that they have the ability to take naps to reduce fatigue, and that an appropriate environment is prepared where such naps can be taken. We verified the effects of 90 min napping on fatigue and the associated factors among nurses working 16-h night shifts. We investigated 196-night shifts among 49 nurses for one month. Wearable devices, data logging devices, and questionnaires were used to as…
Adolescent Work Values and Drug Use in Adulthood
Background: Personal values have been considered as a predictor of drug use. Methods: We examined the association between work values in adolescence and drug use in adulthood using 23-year longitudinal data from the Youth Development Study. Results: Partial extrinsic and intrinsic work values predicted cannabis use in the past year after adjusting for sociodemographic variables and alcohol and tobacco use at baseline. A part of intrinsic work val…

Psychotic Experiences and Hikikomori in a Nationally Representative Sample of Adult Community Residents in Japan
Psychotic experiences (PEs) may be associated with hikikomori. In the present study, we analyzed interview data from a community-based representative sample ( N = 1,616) in Japan to know the association of PEs over a life time, as well as the two components, hallucinatory experiences (HEs) and delusional experiences (DEs), with lifetime experience of hikikomori (severe social withdrawal). Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the asso…
Association between Urban Upbringing and Compulsive Internet Use in Japan
The purpose of this study was to show the association between urban upbringing and compulsive internet use (CIU). The interview data of the sample (N = 2431) was obtained from the World Mental Health Japan Second Survey and a multilevel model was used to investigate the association. Multiple imputation was also conducted in this study. Growing up in a large city was significantly associated with higher Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS) scores …
Association between sitting time at work and the onset of major depressive episode
Long sitting time at work (9.5+ h per day) might be associated with MDE onset among workers. However, the linear association indicated conflicting results. Non-linear associations between sitting time and MDE onset might explain this inconsistency. The evidence for an adverse association between sitting time at work and MDE onset remains inconclusive
Personal values in adolescence and their associations with metabolic biomarkers in adulthood
Background Personal values, which are formed in early life, can have an impact on health outcome later in life. Objective The aim of this study is to investigate the relation between personal values in adolescence and bio-indicators related to metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adulthood. Participants and Methods The longitudinal data used was from the Japanese Study on Stratification, Health, Income, and Neighborhood (J-SHINE). Personal values in adol…
Japanese version of the 42-item psychological well-being scale (PWBS-42)
The subscales of the Japanese version of the PWBS-42 showed accep. levels of reliability and support for convergent validity in the Japanese population. The factor structure was slightly different from the theoretical 6-factor model: items of three subscales (environmental mastery, purpose in life, and self-acceptance) loaded together on two factors. This finding may be interpreted in light of the interdependent self construal found in Japan in w…
Time preference and personal value
There may be an association between time preference and personal values. Time discounting and hyperbolic time discounting may be associated with different aspects of personal values, i.e., area of priority values and commitment to value, respectively
Association between personal values in adolescence and impaired bonding relationship with children
While a future longitudinal study is needed, the present findings may indicate that personal values in adolescence are associated with their bonding relationship with children
Inhibitory effect of black tea and its combination with acarbose on small intestinal α-glucosidase activity
Reliability and Validity of the Japanese Version of the Coping Inventory for Adults for Stressful Situations in Healthy People
The present study examined the validity and reliability of the Japanese version of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations-2nd EditionTM (CISS; hereafter the CISS-J). The participants were 1,268 healthy Japanese individuals. The factor analyses yielded three major scales (task-, emotion-, and avoidance-oriented coping) corresponding to the original version. In addition, the avoidance-oriented scale of the CISS-J contained two subscales (Dis…
