A survey of job stress of occupational therapists was conducted and data were analyzed using factor analysis and structural equation modeling (secondary factor analysis) . Rehabilitation services provided by occupational therapists have become greatly developed and are widely available. At the same time these services have become more complicated because of aging of patients as well as patients' families. Most occupational therapists are making great efforts to overcome their job stress. There are, however, few studies regarding stress and burnout of occupational therapists in Japan. The purpose of this study was to analyze the causes of job stress and to create a job stress model to help occupational therapists cope with stress. To design a suitable job stress model, 291 occupational therapists in the Tokyo metropolitan area were surveyed. Six major job stress factors were extracted from our results. The results suggest that factors of job stress of Japanese differ from Europeans in some part beyond the differences of culture and medical service systems, A suitable job stress model for occupational therapists was composed of two latent variables related to “occupational therapy work itself” and “complications involving patients' lives or lifestyles”. This job stress model which refers to the relationship between job stress and its cause may contribute to cope with job stress.
