The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among potential job-related risks, emotional dissonance, and job turnover intention of caregivers at the long-term care facilities in South Korea, and to explore the potential mediator role of burnout in this association. For the study, survey data of 434 caregivers at long-term care facilities were collected and analyzed using structural equation modeling method. The results showed that high level of caregivers'perception of the potential job-related risks led to increased burnout and turnover intention of caregivers. Second, caregivers'burnout partially mediated the effect of the potential job-related risks on turnover intention. Third, the more caregivers experience emotional dissonance, the higher the possibility of caregivers'burnout. On the other hand, emotional dissonance of caregivers did not give significant direct impact on turnover intention. Burnout fully mediated the relationship between emotional dissonance and turnover intention of caregivers. Lastly, the more caregivers experience burnout, the higher possibility of turnover intention. Based on the results, researchers suggested possible intervention methods as well as preventive measures to reduce the turnover of caregivers at long-term care facilities.

As the demand for elderly care service has been on rise due to the increasing of the aging population, the role of visiting caregivers becomes increasingly important. In this context, this study aims to examine whether there are moderating effects of social support and self-efficacy on the relationship between resilience of visiting caregivers and their burnouts. The hierarchical regression analysis was used for statistical analysis. The findings from the study are as follow. First, resilience has a negative effect on burnout. As the resilience increases, the burnout decreases. Second, social support has moderating effects on the relationship between a resilience sub-variable(positivity) and burnout. Third, self-efficacy has a moderating effect on the relationship between a resilience sub-variable(self-regulation) and burnout. The findings of the study suggest that nursing facilities pay attention to psychological characteristics of visiting caregivers as well as their job characteristics in designing burnout prevention programs for them.

본 연구에서는 리싸이클 방법에 따른 리싸이클 폴리에스터사의 물리적 성질을 고찰하고자 하였다. 시료로는 물리적 리싸이클 방법과 화학적 해중합을 통한 리싸이클 방법을 사용한 폴리에스터사를 사용하였다. 리싸이클 폴리에스터사의 표면 형상을 관찰하기 위해 SEM을 이용하였고, 열적 거동을 규명하기 위해 DSC를 이용하였으며, 미세 구조적 차이를 살펴보기 위해 XRD 분석을 하였고, 역학적 성질을 평가하기 위해 인장강도와 절단신도를 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 리싸이클 방법에 따라 Tg, 결정화 온도, 융점과 융해열은 약간의 차이를 보였다. 화학적 리싸이클 PET사는 Virgin PET사보다 Tg가 약간 상승하였고, 승온 시 결정화 온도는 하강하였으며, 융점의 차이는 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 해중합에 의해 PET의 비결정영역의 고분자 사슬 간의 거리가 좁아져 더 높은 Tg를 나타내는 것으로 생각된다. 또한, 물리적 리싸이클 PET사의 융점과 융해열은 화학적 리싸이클 PET사의 융점과 융해열보다 더 높게 나타났다. 결정화도에서는 리싸이클 방법에 따른 차이는 거의 보이지 않았다. 이는 리싸이클 공정이 폴리에스터의 결정영역 변화에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 실의 인장강도는 리싸이클 PET사는 virgin PET사보다 약간 더 낮았고, 물리적 리싸이클 PET사와 화학적 리싸이클 PET사는 비슷하게 나타났고, 절단신도는 virgin PET사, 물리적 리싸이클 PET사와 화학적 리싸이클 PET사 간의 뚜렷한 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study aimed to examine the effects of job stress on the turnover intention through mediation of vacational consciousness and to reduce turnover intention of long-term care workers based on the results. We used 447 long-term care workers working in Seoul and Gyeonggi area. For the research purpose, the mediation effect was verified after the technical analysis and verifying multicollinearity using on SPSS and sobel-test. The results of this study are as follows: First, the lower the age of care worker and the higher the monthly household income, the higher the turnover intention. Second, the higher the perceived job stress, the higher the turnover intention. Third, the higher the job consciousness of the long-term care workers, the lower the turnover intention. Fourth, job stress of long-term care workers showed statistically significant effect on turnover intention by partial mediation of job consciousness. Based on the above results, I suggested the clinical and policy practice to prevent the separation of long-term care workers and improve the quality of care service for the elderly.
