Baseline Characteristics

We conducted a scoping review of original articles that investigated health issues.

Participant flow

Figure 1 shows the PRISMA flow diagram. The database search with the above search words yielded 17,122 English-language articles and 6,154 Japanese-language articles. In the PubMed search, we performed a title search and excluded when any of the following conditions were met: languages other than English (n=2,688), foreign settings (n=5,551), commentary/letter (n=283), clinical studies (n=9,343), infants/children/students (n=399), and older adults (n=489). Next, we read the abstract of the remaining 2,367 and excluded 1,511 articles that had no relevance to work (n=462), specific participants (n=383), men workers only (n=27), and out-of-scope (n=777). Specific participants included those who experienced disasters, had infectious diseases, such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Coronavirus, influenza, end-of-life caregivers, women after retirement, medical personnel whose work is very specialized, for example, bereaved caregivers, a nurse with organ transplantation, first-year medical doctors and nurses, and in a minimal area of specialty, including nurses working at a psychiatric ward. Finally, we included 853 studies in English in the scoping review. In Ichu-shi, we performed a title search and excluded studies in languages other than Japanese (n=1370), when the study setting was not Japan or the study participants were not Japanese (n=56), a commentary/ letter/bulletin/proceeding/conference or meeting reports/protocol (n=890), investigated "patients" and clinically relevant issues (n=1,561), infants/children/students (n=150), or elderly (n=209). Among the remaining 2,501 articles, we retrieved abstracts and excluded those not relevant to work (n=532), specific participants (n=764), men-only (n=40), or out-of-focus (n=597). Finally, we included 855 Japanese language articles for a scoping review. Three investigators (KN, MA, and KM) independently searched the literature and any discrepancy were discussed with the team members.

Outcome measures

Nine research areas of eligible articles
The nine areas were developed regarding 38 items from the Checklist for Creating Healthy Workplaces for Men and Women Workers developed by the working women health in 200812 and 21 items from the "Survey on Health Promotion for Working Women" conducted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in 20174 to support and care for women. The nine areas aimed to clarify which areas of occupational health are lacking and what kind of research needs to be accumulated in the future and were determined by the result of exchanging opinions with experts and academic members at the 94th Congress and symposium of the Japan Society for Occupational Health.13 W
