We studied an outbreak of itai-itai disease in the Jinzu River basin, in Toyama, Japan. One hundred and fifty females recognized as itai-itai disease patients till by 1990 were studied for the ages and years of onset and residence in the cadmium-polluted area.1. Cases were recognized from as early as 1929, increased gradually to the peak of 1955-1959 and rapidly decreased up to the 1970s.2. It was found that the later the patients was born, the younger the age of onset, though there was no difference of ages of onset between the cases born in the 1910s and the cases born from 1920.3. The onset of itai-itai disease was most frequently seen at 50-59 years of residence in the cadmium-polluted area. It was found that the later a person started to inhabit the cadmium-polluted area, the shorter the period of residence in the cadmium-polluted area up to onset of itai-itai disease.4. Comparing the patients who inhabited the cadmium-polluted area from birth and those who had moved there from non-polluted areas, the age of onset was higher in the latter, but there were no significant differences in the period of residence up to onset.From these findings, it appeared that itai-itai disease was not caused by aging, but by cadmium exposure starting from the 1910s.

This paper describes the development of an instrument, the Nursing Job Stressor Scale (NJSS). The statements on the job stressors were identified from the literature and redesigned to describe nursing situations that result in stress. A 55-items questionnaire was administered to a sample of 568 hospital nurses. Nurses were asked to indicate on a 5-point scale how intensively they experienced such situations as stressful. Factor analysis using a principal factoring with a varimax rotation resulted in 7 subscales that closely paralleled the conceptual categories of stressor on which the scale was based. These subscales were: conflict with other nursing staffs, nursing role conflict, conflict with physicians and autonomy, death and dying, qualitative work load, quantitative work load, conflict with patients. By selecting 33 items, a new set of the Nursing Job Stressor Scale was developed. Test-retest reliability as well as internal consistency indicated that the seven subscales were reliable. Validity was determined by correlating the total score from the Nusring Stresssor Scale with measures of burnout. These examinations showed the usefulness of the scale.
