Studies on the occupational maladjustment syndrome. (Part 2). (In Reference to Relationship Between Psychophysiological Character and Clinical Feature)

Abstract

In a previous report (Natsume et al. Jpn. J. Ind. Health, Vol. 24) on the occupational maladjustment syndrome (O.M.A.S.), on the basis of clinical data, we classified patients with O.M.A.S. into 5 subcategories; core, drop-out, transient reaction, special job maladjustment and other. The core and drop-out types are typical of O.M.A.S. In order to test our hypothesis regarding the clinical and psychophysiological character of patients with O.M.A.S., 39 subjects (25 core type and 14 drop-out type) were studied by poly-graphic techniques such as EEG, EMG of facial muscles and electrooculogram, and the results were compared with those of 16 normal subjects. © 1985, Japan Society for Occupational Health.
