운전자가 고속도로와 시내도로에서 3시간 동안 주행했을 때 주관적인 운전 피로감 및 졸림감, 신체적인 불편도를 주관적 평가지를 이용하여 측정하였다. 실험결과 운전 피로감은 모든 주행조건에서 운전시간이 경과됨에 따라 유의하게 증가하였고 졸림감은 고속도로 주행시 운전시간에 따라 유의하게 증가하였으며 시내 주행에서 고속도로 주행보다 더 많은 신체부위에서 불편도가 높았다. 따라서 운전 피로는 운전시간에 따라 증가하고 고속도로에서는 졸음, 시내주행에서는 신체적인 불편으로 인한 피로가 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

산업의 발전과 함께 소비3자의 욕구는 제품의 질적, 감성적 향상을 요구하고 있으며, 또한 최근 각종 공학의 눈부신 발전에 힘입어서 자동차의 성능, 안락성 등이 크게 향상되면서 운전자의 운전 중 피로감 제거에 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구는 주관적인 피로감 평가 방식 중 졸림감(KSS), 피로감 용어 및 신체 불편도를 이용하여 평가를 수행하였다. 졸림감 및 피로감 용어는 차종 및 자세에 따라 약간의 차이가 있었지만, 대체적으로 시간이 지남에 따라 불편함의 정도가 심해졌다. 신체 불편도에 대한 평가결과 엉덩이, 요추, 어때, 좌우 발목 부위가 불편한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 차종별 또는 운전자세에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이기도 했다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해서 동환경 시스템의 기초 데이터를 확보할 뿐만 아니라, 자동차를 설계하는데 있어, 보다 안락하고 편안한 운전환경을 만들 수 있는 기초자료로써 활용이 가능할 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to find the relation between the detailed categories of the self-efficacy of workers in the field of railroad signaling and the detailed categories of their fatigue in the use of analysis of moment structure(AMOS) model. A self-administered questionnaire survey of workers in the field of railroad signaling had been conducted and a total of 341 copies were analyzed. This study had the assumption that their general self-efficacy and social self-efficacy would negatively influence their physical fatigue and mental fatigue. As a result, their general self-efficacy negatively influenced their physical fatigue and mental fatigue, whereas their social self-efficacy didn't influence their physical fatigue and mental fatigue. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the fatigue of the study subjects by enhancing corporate support to increase their general self-efficacy.

Continuous use of SNS with having SNS fatigue influences users mentally as well as physically. Although it is reported that they eventually leave SNS due to experience of fatigue, the determinants of SNS fatigue have not been discovered yet. Thus this study aims to find the psychological factors causing SNS fatigue. This study (1) found out the factors causing SNS fatigue, and (2) explored the relationships between the factors and intentions to discontinue/continue to use SNS. Findings of the study suggested that there are seven types of determinants: Sense of relative deprivation, Relationship concern, Management burden, Information overload, Privacy concern, Reputation concern(after posting), Reputation concern(before posting). It is also found that sense of relative deprivation negatively predicted the intention to keep using SNS while management burden, reputation concern(before posting) predicted positively. Furthermore, the sense of relative deprivation and information overload positively predicted the intention to discontinue using SNS while reputation concern(before posting) predicted negatively. This research examined how the determinants of SNS fatigue affect the intentions to keep/stop using SNS from the two different points of view. The determinants of SNS fatigue experienced by SNS viewers influenced them to have intentions to stop using it, whereas those felt by SNS writers affected them to keep using it.

This research examined the correlation among sleep, fatigue and quality of life of stroke patients. Data regarding the quality of sleep, sleep satisfaction, fatigue and quality of life was collected from 37 stroke patients using questionnaires. The data was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis. The results suggested that the quality of sleep is associated with sleep satisfaction and fatigue, and the level of sleep satisfaction is associated with the feelings of fatigue and quality of life. After the occurrence of stroke, most people experience insomnia and complain of physical and mental feelings of fatigue depending on the quality and level of satisfaction with sleep, as well as a decrease in the quality of life. Therefore, for the effective intervention of occupational therapy, it will be necessary to examine the sleep-related factors.

Objectives : We aimed to explore the relationship among fatigue and perceived stress, depressive mood in the working population. We also examined associations with demographic and life style factors and investigated the effect of individual coping skills on these associations. Methods : Fatigue Severity Scale(FSS), Perceived Stress Scale(PSS), Brief Encounter Psychosocial Instrument - Korean version(BEPSI-K), Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), Stress Coping Skill Questionnaire were administered to 621 civil servants. All of above and other demographic factors are self-administered questionnaire survey and this study is cross sectional. Results : Mean FSS score was 3.04 which was lower than 3.22, the severity cut off score. FSS, PSS, BEPSI-K, BDI were all higher in female. Subjects with active coping skills showed relatively low fatigue, perceived stress, depressive mood than those with passive coping skills. Logistic regression analyses indicated that the PSS, BDI, BEPSI-K in working population increase the risk of fatigue and regular exercise lowers the risk. Conclusions : Adults who were afflicted by stress, experienced depressive mood or were physically inactive were at much higher risk of feeling fatigue. Since no other large data sets are available for fatigue, the results from this study could serve a very useful purpose, to furnish a basis for comparison with future research results based on more complete data.

The authors identified a treatment-resistant patient with chronic fatigue syndrome, characterized by chronic fatigue, headache, unrefreshing sleep. Some studies reported that chronic fatigue syndrome was associated with affective disorder, especially seasonal affective disorder and many studies reported that bright light therapy was effective in seasonal affective disorder. But efficacy of light therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome was rarely reported. We treated the patient with morning light treatment using 2500lux light box, the clinical symptoms in this case were improved. The authors suggest that the light therapy can be a treatment modality for chronic fatigue syndrome.

Fatigue is a significant problem in health care. The relationship between chronic fatigue and psychiatric disorders has generated significant interest in recent years. Increased rates of psychiatric disorder among individuals with chronic fatigue have been reported. Fatigue may be defined as physical and/or mental weariness resulting from exertion. The cause of fatigue is complex, influenced by events occurring in both the periphery and the central nervous system. Because fatigue may result from a number of causes, it should be treated comprehensively. The treatment is largely symptomatic and rehabilitative.

개개인의 생활 수준 향상으로 자동차가 개인 교통 수단이나 레저 생활용으로 더욱 많이 활용되면서 장시간 운전이 늘어감에 따라, 운전자의 신체적 피로는 운전 중의 사고의 원인이 되고 있으며, 장시간 운전시의 피로감의 원인이라고 할 수 있는 엔진과 노면으로부터 인체에 전달되는 진동에 대한 대비책으로, 시트 부분의 내진 및 감쇠 설계가 실제로 운전자가 느끼는 승차감 즉 안락성에 결정적인 역할을 한다고 볼 수 있다. 국내의 경우 자동차 시트 기술은 대부분 외국 기술에 의존하고 있는 실정이어서 전문적인 연구는 매우 미흡한 실정이다.(중략)

유난히 길었떤 장마 끝이 지나가고 여름철 무더위도 한풀 꺾였다. 이번 수해로 많은 피해를 입은 이웃들은 복구 작업에 아직도 구슬땀을 흘리고 있을 것이다. 여름철 무더위에 가장 조심해야 할 것은 고온에 의한 열손상이다. 여름철이면 흔히 '더위 먹었다'고 표현하는 사람들이 늘어난다. 주로 호소하는 증상은 피로감과 짜증, 무기력, 집중력 장애, 식육부진, 두통, 어지러움 등이다. 이러한 증상들은 다른 질병의 초기 증상일 가능성도 있지만 흔한 원인 중 하나가 바로 과로와 더위로 인한 신체리듬의 장애라고 할 수 있다. 이것을 일시적인 증상으로 자연 회복이 되는 경우도 있지만 반드시 적절한 도움을 받아야 하는 경우도 있다. 열경련, 열피로, 열사병 등 고온에 의한 열손상에 대해 알아보자.
