초록

본 연구는 요양병원 요양보호사의 작업환경, 심리적 업무요구, 피로도, 근골격계 증상의 관계를 파악하고 근골격계 증상에 미치는 영향요인을 규명하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구방법은 S시에 소재한 3곳의 요양병원에 근무하는 요양보호사 128명을 대상으로 2020년 4~5월까지 설문 조사하였다. 연구결과 요양병원 요양보호사의 근골격계 증상은 어깨, 손/손목/손가락, 허리 세 부분에 대한 증상발생빈도, 증상지속기간, 통증의 강도를 합한 값으로 42점 만점에 평균 11.41±9.50점으로 나타났다. 요양병원 요양보호사의 근골격계 증상에 미치는 영향요인을 규명하기 위해 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 근무병동(β=.18, p=.034)과 심리적 업무요구(β=.21, p=.013), 피로도(β=.25, p=.003)가 근골격계 증상에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 이들 3개 변수는 근골격계 증상에 대하여 21.6%의 설명력을 보였다(F=6.87, p<.001). 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 요양병원 요양보호사들의 근골격계 증상을 감소시키기 위해서는 담당하는 환자의 중증도를 고려하여 심리적 업무요구와 피로도를 줄일 수 있는 중재프로그램 개발 및 적용이 필요하다.

This study was conducted to examine relationships among job environment, psychological work demand, fatigue, musculoskeletal symptoms, then to investigate the factors influencing musculoskeletal symptoms of care workers in long-term care hospitals. A total of 128 care workers recruited from three long-term care hospitals in S city. Self-reported questionnaire survey was conducted from April to May, 2020. The results were as follows: The musculoskeletal symptoms of the care workers were the sum of the frequency of symptom occurrence, duration of symptoms, and intensity of pain in the three parts of the shoulder, hand/wrist/finger, and waist. The average score was 11.41±9.50 points out of 42. According to the hierarchical regression analysis, their musculoskeletal symptoms were significantly influenced by working department(β=.18, p=.034), psychological work demand(β=.21, p=.013) and fatigue(β=.25, p=.003), explained 21.6% of the total variance(F=6.87, p<.001). Based on our results, in order to reduce musculoskeletal symptoms of care workers in nursing hospitals, it is necessary to develop and apply an intervention program that can reduce psychological work demand and fatigue in consideration of the severity of the patient in charge.
