Abstract

This study was to conducted to examine the associations between job stress and musculoskeletal symptoms of child care teachers. Questionnaires were administered to 132 child care teachers and the responses were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. The average total job stress was 2.80. Based on NOISH criteria, musculoskeletal symptoms were prevalent in 46.2% of the participants. The musculoskeletal symptoms by body part appeared mostly on the shoulder (25.8%), followed by the lower back (18.9%), hands/wrist/fingers (17.4%), neck (11.4%), legs/feet (9.1%), and arms/elbows (7.6%). The positive symptom group showed higher levels of total job stress, work overload, and relationship with school parents stress scores than then the symptom free group. Musculoskeletal symptoms were significantly associated with job stress, work overload, and relationship with school parents stress. Overall, the results of this study indicate that it is necessary to develop strategies for reducing job stress to prevent musculoskeletal symptoms.

본 연구는 보육교사의 직무스트레스 정도와 근골격계 자각증상을 파악하고, 직무스트레스와 근골격계 자각증상과의 관련성을 확인하기 위한 서술적 조사연구로서 어린이집에 근무하는 보육교사 132명을 대상으로 하였다. 본 연구에서 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 직무스트레스는 5점 만점에 평균 2.80점이었고, 하부영역별로는 업무과부하 3.35점, 학부모와의 관계 3.13점, 원장지도력 및 행정적 지원부족 2.56점, 동료와의 관계 2.27점이었다. 근골격계 NOISH 양성자 기준에 의한 근골격계 자각증상이 있는 대상자는 46.2%(61명)였고, 신체부위별 근골격계 자각증상은 어깨부위가 25.8%(34명)으로 가장 많았고, 허리 18.9%(25명), 손/손목/손가락 17.4%(23명), 목 11.4%(15명), 다리/발 9.1%(12명), 팔/팔꿈치 7.6%(10명) 순으로 나타났다. 근골격계 자각증상의 유무에 따라서 직무스트레스 총점, 업무과부하, 학부모와의 관계 점수에 차이가 있었다. 또한 근골격계 자각증상과 직무스트레스 총점(OR=1.02, 95CI=1.01-1.04), 업무과부하(OR=1.08, 95CI=1.02-1.15), 학부모와의 관계(OR=1.21, 95CI=1.06-1.37)가 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 직무스트레스 경감을 통한 근골격계 증상 예방 프로그램 개발의 기초자료로 활용될 것을 기대한다.
