Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the occupational risk factors that affect oral symptoms in hospital facility workers. This study surveyed 627 hospital facility temp·contract workers in the metropolitan area from November 17, 2020 to May 20, 2021. The results of the study indicate that oral symptoms were higher among workers with high risk of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. Also, symptoms of oral mucosa, temporomandibular joint disorder, and dry mouth were high in the areas of job insecurity and organizational injustice. As the occupational risk factors and occupational stress of workers increased, the risk of oral symptoms increased. In the future, this study can be used as basic data for improving oral health policies to better the oral health of hospital facility workers.

본 연구목적은 병원 시설 근로자들의 구강 증상에 영향을 미치는 업무 위험요인을 살펴보고자 한다. 연구 방법은 수도권 지역의 대학병원 시설 관리 파견·용역 근로자 627명을 대상으로 2020년 11월 17일~2021년 5월 20일까지 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 근골격계 질환과 상해 위험이 높은 근로자들에게서 구강 증상이 높게 나타났다. 또한 직무 불안정과 조직 불공정성의 영역에서 구강점막, 악관절 장애, 구강건조증 증상이 높게 나타났으며, 이직 의도와 질병 출근 요인에서 구강건조증 위험도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 근로자들의 업무 위험 요인과 직무스트레스가 증가할수록 구강 증상 위험도가 증가하였다. 추후 병원 시설 근로자들의 구강건강 증진을 위한 구강보건정책 개선 기초 자료로 활용될 것이다.
