초록

본 연구는 야간 근무 도시철도승무원을 대상으로 직무스트레스와 수면장애가 낮 시간대 졸음에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 낮 시간대 졸음 지수는 타 근무시간대 보다 높게 측정되어 졸음 정도가 심한 것으로 나타났다. 이후 일반적으로 수면장애 및 스트레스 완화에 도움이 된다고 알려진 아로마에센셜 오일을 야간근무 근무자들에게 처치하여 스트레스와 자율신경계에 미치는 효과를 검증하였다. 아로마테라피를 처치 받은 실험군은 아무것도 처치하지 않은 대조군과 비교하여 스트레스의 감소, 자율신경계의 전체 활성도가 개선되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 도시철도승무원의 야간근무가 스트레스 증가와 자율신경계에 부정적으로 영향을 미치며, 이를 완화하기 위하여 아로마테라피 처치가 좋은 대안이 될 수 있음을 입증하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 야간 근무자들의 스트레스를 완화시켜 잠재적인 안전사고 예방에도 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

This study analyzed the effects of job stress and sleep disorders on sleepiness during the daytime for a night-shift urban railway crew. As a result of the analysis, measurements on a daytime sleepiness index were higher for the crew than those during other working hours, indicating that the degrees of sleepiness and drowsiness were severe. Afterwards, aromatic essential oils, which are generally known to help relieve sleep disorders and stress, were utilized to verify the effect on stress on night-shift workers. The experimental group treated with aromatherapy was found to show improved stress reduction and overall activity levels in the autonomic nervous system compared to an untreated control group. This study proves that night work by an urban railway crew negatively affects stress levels by increasing stress and negatively affects the autonomous nervous system, also showing that an aromatherapy treatment can be a good alternative to alleviate these conditions. The results of this study are expected to help prevent safety accidents by relieving the stress of nighttime workers.
