The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between lifestyle and health status among employees in a community. The participants were 199 white collar workers in J city. Data were collected from August 7 to 24, 2012 using the self-report questionnaire. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson coefficient correlation with SPSS/Win 17.0. There was a statistically significant correlation between lifestyle and health status(r= .164, p= .020). Mental component summary of health status was a statistically significant correlated with leisure activity(r= .270, p= .000) and regular exercise(r= .180, p= .011). Therefore, this study provided support for associations between lifestyle and health status. We suggest that strategies to emphasize leisure activity and regular exercise would be important for white collar workers to improve their mental health.

$\bullet$ 목적 본 연구는 한국의 생산직 근로자와 사무직 근로자의 직업성 손상 및 질환의 차이를 비교하고 산재보고 축소(underreporting)의 규모를 추정하고자 수행되었다. $\bullet$ 방법 한국의 경인지역에서 구축된 근로자 건강진단 수진자 코호트와 1999-2001년 사이에 재직 중이었던 근로자의 건강보험 청구자료를 이용하였다. 근로자의 직무내용과 건강진단의 종류(특수건강진단 및 일반건강진단)로 사무직과 생산직 근로자로 구분하였으며, 이들 사이의 근골격계질환과 손상 및 중독에 해당하는 건강보험 이용률의 차이를 신고되지 않은 산재로 추정하였다. 이를 바탕으로 도수율, 산재발생률 및 재해율을 계산하였다. $\bullet$ 결과 생산직 근로자는 사무직 근로자보다 100 인년 당 3.47건 더 높은 건강보험이용률을 보였다. 이를 토대로 추정한 한국의 도수율은 12.57-18.1, 재해율은 2.74-3.29, 산재발생률은 3.62-5.44이었다. $\bullet$ 결론 한국 제조업의 산재발생률은 공식적인 통계보다 2-3배 더 높을 것으로 추정되지만, 연구의 제한점을 고려하여 이해할 필요가 있다.

This is a descriptive research to find out the effect of office workers resilience, depression and stress. The research subjects were 123 office workers in one location and data were collected from August 1 to 20, 2018. Collected data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The research results showed negative correlation between office workers resilience and their depression(r=-.195, p=.040), stress (r=-.424, p=.000). Sub-factors of resilience to affect their depression were satisfaction level in their lives (β=-.299, p=.001) and relationship(β=.300 p=.002). Sub-factors of resilience to affect their stress were satisfaction level in their lives(β=-.315, p=.001). This research was helpful to understand office workers resilience and it is necessary to develop a variety of education and training programs to enhance this.

This study was aimed to develop a mobile wellness program, and then to examine the effectiveness of the program in office workers to improve their physical activity. A single group pre-test post-test design was used. A total of 26 office workers received a mobile wellness program using a wearable device during 12 weeks. Effectiveness of the intervention was measured at soon after a mobile wellness program. There were significant differences between pre-test and post-test on daily steps (t=-2.52, p=.018), competence (t=-2.12, p=.044), and wellness(t=-2.83, p=.009). In conclusion, the mobile wellness program using a wearable device is effective for office workers by improving daily steps and encouraging their competence and wellness.

This study discusses whether digital literacy of Chinese white-collar workers influences informal learning and investigates the moderating effect of incentives on the relationship between digital literacy and informal learning. The aim of the research is twofold. First, it attempts to determine whether digital literacy of white-collar employees has a positive correlation with informal learning. The study further examines whether incentives from companies-material and non-material-have a moderating effect on the relationship between digital literacy of white-collar employees and informal learning. The ability to handle ICT devices and to utilize information both indicate positive correlations with knowledge acquisition through job performance, cultivation of self-development ability, and learning. Signficantly, the material and non-material incentives had a moderating effect only on the relationship between the ability to utilize information and knowledge acquisition through job performance, which was not revealed in other relationships. Overall, the findings may have practical implications of analysis to hire and train workers in Chinese companies and to design compensation schemes for corporate incentives.

Background : This study investigated and analyzed the life style of male white- collar workers and their perception of obesity to determine how to improve eating habits and prevent obesity. Materials and Methods : Using the questionnaires distributed to and collected from 300 male white-collar workers in Daegu, the survey was conducted from December 20, 2005 to February 28, 2006. Two hundred sets of collected questionnaires were used for the analysis, and SPSS WIN 12.0 was employed to analyze the data. Results : Forty-two percent of subjects had weights ranging between 71 kg and 80 kg; 39.5%, weighted between 61 kg and 70 kg. The waist measurements of 64.5% of all respondents were between 32 and 34 inches. The lifestyle questions found that 54% of respondents were smokers and 88.5% drank alcohol. In addition, 62.5% of all respondents reported doing exercise, whereas 37.5% reported no exercise. Conclusion : The height and weight of 200 respondents were used to calculate the body mass index (BMI). Only 31.6% had a normal BMI, whereas 32% were found to be overweight, a condition likely to lead to obesity. Meanwhile, 36.5% of respondents were obese or morbidly obese.

This study is to investigate the effects of manual lymphatic drainage of stressed hospital office employees on the autonomic nervous. A total of 30 stressed hospital office women voluntarily participated in the study. The participants were randomized to the manual lymphatic drainage groups and rest groups. The intervention was conducted for 20 minutes in each group. There were significant differences in sympathetic nerve, parasympathetic nerve, and pain within manual lymphatic drainage groups(p<.05). There were significant differences between groups for the sympathetic nerve, parasympathetic nerve, and pain(p<.05). Therefore, manual lymphatic drainage is an effective intervention for reducing the stress and pain of stressed hospital office employees.

The authors conducted a cross-setional study to evaluate the differences of screening test results between clerks and laborers in an occupational health center in Taegu, 1992. A total of 10, 207 workers was included in the study. Of these, male were 6,597 and female 3,610. Constitutional variables included were items of health examination and some confounding variables(sex, age, body weight and work duration). All analyses were conducted separately for each sex through the use of multiple logistic regression analysis on occupation, controlling for age, work duration, and body weight. Laborers showed abnormal hearing test more often than clerks in both sexes. The blood pressure that showed statistical significance in univariate analysis in both sexes lost its significance after controlling covariates. Liver function and urine protein had statistically significant differences between two occupational groups in males and visual correction did in females. The results suggest that there are differences clerks and laborers in some of screening tests and analytic studies are needed to identify the causes of the differences.
