Associations between work-family conflict and depressive symptoms and effect modification by social support and income among Japanese workers: A community-based cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Work-family conflict has been associated with depression, but it remains under-examined, particularly in population-representative studies. Furthermore, factors modifying this association have not been fully explored. This study investigates the associations of work-to-family conflict (WFC) and family-to-work conflict (FWC) with depressive symptoms in a community-representative Japanese working population. Whether social support and household income modified this association was also examined.

Methods

A baseline survey of the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study for the Next Generation was conducted, employing a population-based cohort design across 16 municipalities in seven prefectural areas of Japan from 2011 to 2016, focusing on workers aged 40-64 years
