It is common knowledge that the mental health management system in SSEs is not satisfactory. A questionnaire survey was performed to evaluate the present mental health management of SSEs in two industrial areas in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. The questionnaires were distributed to occupational health management personnel of 74 SSEs in the areas, and 69 questionnaires were returned (93.2%). Most of these were manufacturing enterprises (38 enterprises ;55.1%), and most of the occupational health management personnel were administrative workers (27 personnel;39.1%). Among the SSEs, 29 people (42.0%)answered that mental health information can be obtained, 17(24.6%)answered that “mental health management system is in place,”and 43 (62.3%) answered that prospective mental health management is necessary. In addition, mental health management was being carried out in enterprises in which mental health information was obtainable (p<0.001), and a larger number of administrative workers, as compared with non-administrative workers, answered that a prospective mental health management system would not be necessary (p=0.044). In conclusion, it was considered that providing mental health information and support to administrative workers would play a key role in promoting the mental health management system for SSEs.
