Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level and intensity of emotional labor of physical therapists and occupational therapists, and to identify the factors affecting them. Cross-sectional study was conducted on physical therapists and occupational therapists across the country using self-populated questionnaire. A total of 2,000 questionnaires were distributed to retrieve 1,500 questionnaires(75%), of which 1,374 questionnaires(68.7%) were finally analyzed, excluding 126 that answered duplicates or were missing answers. Multi-linear regression was performed to identify factors on the strength of emotional labor. According to the analysis results, high-risk groups in the areas under 'Emotional demand and regulation' and 'Overload and conflict in customer service' and 'Emotional disharmony and hurt' were 29.4%, 19.0% and 22.0% respectively, especially in 'Emotional demand and regulation', 'Overload and conflict in customer service', 'Emotional disharmony and hurt' for women working days, and 49% of daily work hours. Accordingly, we will be able to regularly screen physical therapists and occupational therapists for dangerous groups, and manage the intensity of emotional labor through the creation of a therapist's working environment, such as limiting overtime hours and assigning appropriate number of patients. Through this study, the grounds and methods for mitigating the negative effects of emotional labor and mediating emotional labor should be provided.

본 연구의 목적은 물리치료사 및 작업치료사의 감정노동 수준과 강도를 평가하고 이에 미치는 요인을 알아보았다. 전국 물리치료사 및 작업치료사를 대상으로 자기기입식 설문지를 이용한 단면적 조사연구(cross-sectional study)를 실시하였다. 총 2,000부의 설문지를 배포하여 1,500부(75%)의 설문지를 회수하였고, 이 중 중복으로 답변하거나 답변이 누락된 126부를 제외하고 1,374부(68.7%)의 설문지를 최종 분석하였다. 감정노동의 강도에 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 다중선형 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과, '감정조절의 요구 및 규제', '고객 응대의 과부하 및 갈등', '감정부조화 및 손상' 하부영역에서 고위험군은 각각 29.4%, 19.0%, 22.0% 이었으며, 특히 감정노동의 강도를 평가하는 '감정조절의 요구 및 규제', '고객 응대의 과부하 및 갈등', '감정부조화 및 손상'에서 감정노동의 위험군은 여성, 작업치료사, 주간 49시간 이상 근무, 하루 치료 환자 수 15명 이상으로 파악되었다. 이에 따라 물리치료사 및 작업치료사를 대상으로 정기적으로 위험군을 스크리닝 하고, 초과근무시간 제한과 적절한 환자 수 배정 등 치료사의 근로환경 조성을 통해 감정노동의 강도를 관리할 수 있겠다. 본 연구를 통하여 감정노동으로 인한 부정적 영향을 완화시키고, 감정노동을 중재할 수 있는 근거와 방안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
