Dietitians' work is becoming more complex due to their patients' increased age and the increased incidence of lifestyle diseases. We compared dietitians' reported workplace stress with earlier research on other Public Health Nurses (PHNs) and Hospital Nurses (HNs). In addition, we compared stress levels between dietitian's offices. We found, that the GHQ high scorer's ratio of dietitians was higher than that of PHNs and HNs. Moreover, when correlating high scores with years of experience, high scorers exceeded 40%, regardless of the number of years worked. Stress was especially high among veteran dietitians. Stress due to the amount and complexity of work as well as interpersonal relationships was high in all offices. When comparing between offices, hospital dieticians felt the most stress due to their workload, dietitians in welfare facilities reported the most fatigue and insomnia, and school dietitians felt the most stress due to the complexity of their work. A school lunch center dietitian reported strong "shoulder stiffness". In an open question, many dieticians felt "The workloads of dieticians are becoming more complex and unique". This research suggests a need for improvement in dietitians' workloads. In addition, it showes the importance of educating other staff about the complexity of dietitians' work.
