Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify musculoskeletal symptom and pain related working posture with operation-room workers. Methods: The subjects of this study were 73 people who were working from hospital operating-room. A questionnaire consisting of general characteristics, pain symptoms, and pain frequency was given. Objective working posture analysis was done by using REBA after recording moving images in hospital operating-rooms. Results: The result were as follows. The risk level of musculoskeletal symptom related working posture was high, and the management level was at the least 2; 'some management was required for musculoskeletal symptom'. The frequency of pain was 3~4 times/week and the severe pain were experienced from legs, neck, and shoulder. The result of relation of general characteristics and pain were significant variable with sex, age, marital status, weight, past working history, average working time(hr/day), working style, and working department. Conclusion: These results contribute to a better understanding of operation-room workers have high possibility of musculoskeletal disease and are severe musculoskeltal pain related working posture.

The purpose of this study was to examine about correlation among dental hygienists' work environment, recognition on preventive education of musculoskeletal disease, the work-related musculoskeletal disease, and the work characteristics. The aim is to suggest a management plan for reducing symptom of musculoskeletal disease. The self-administered questionnaire was surveyed and collected from August 1-12 of 2011 targeting 210 dental hygienists Seoul, Gyeonggi, Daegu, Pohang. Except 5 people whose responses are not clear and who suffered accident, the analysis was made on 205 people. The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS WIN 15.0 program. As a result, dental hygienists, the average was the highest with 3.07 in 'between shoulder and neck(right side).' Seeing the pain frequency by body region, the average was the highest with 1.47 in 'ankle/calf(left side).' Seeing the appearance of having trouble in work ability related to pain experience of musculoskeletal disease by body region, the average was indicated to be the highest with 1.84 in 'knee(right side).Therefore, the agencies have to pay more attentions and efforts to ensure safety of musculoskeletal disorders in dental hygienist.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the working posture and symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders of dental hygienists during scaling. The subjects in this study were 264 selected dental hygienists. A convergence study was implemented using questionnaire that was prepared to cover general characteristics, health care, the work of scaling, working posture and subjective musculoskeletal symptoms. As for data analysis, R 2.15.1 was employed. As a result of analyzing the collected data, the rate of good working posture during scaling stood at 29.9 percent; roughly good posture, at 37.5 percent; incorrect posture, at 32.6 percent. Regarding the area of the body in which they complained of musculoskeletal symptoms, the shoulders were 3.32-fold more mentioned than any other area(OR,3.32;95%CI, 1.58~6.98); the foot, 2.97-fold more(OR,2.97;95%CI, 1.18~7.48); the hands, 2.84-fold more(OR,2.84:95%CI, 1.35~5.98); the neck, 2.82-fold more(OR, 2.82;95%CI, 1.35~5.91); the back, 2.41-fold more(OR,2.41;95%CI, 1.02~5.68). The findings of the study that demonstrate the importance of good working posture are expected to make a contribution to the improvement of work environments, the development of efficient preventive programs and the preparation of sustained educational plans, and it's necessary in the future to make a research study by including psychosocial factors.

Safety is the most important issue in the construction industry. Especially, work-related disease is increasing and resulted in lack of young workers and high turnover due to its 3D industrial image. The main objective of this paper is to identify the relationship of WRMSD with hand tools used in the building construction industry. In order to reach to the goals, the survey and interviews with laborers are conducted. The data is analyzed in a statistical manner. One of the interesting findings from the research is that the carpenters and steelworkers are the principal trade group suffering from WRMSD due to unsafe working condition and method. The results of the research will be used as the basis for the ergonomic design of the better construction working condition and hand tools.

우리나라에서 근골격계 질환으로 인한 업무상 질병 인정 건수가 매년 급격히 늘고 있다. 근골격계 질환이란 생산직과 사무직에서 단순반복작업으로 인하여 목, 어깨, 팔꿈치, 손목, 손 등의 근육, 건, 신경 등 주변조직에 스트레스가 누적되면서 손상을 입혀 만성적 통증이나 감각이상 등을 나타내는 질환으로,2001년에는 산재로 승인된 질환자 수가 1,598명으로 전년보다 58%가 증가하는 등 우리나라에서 중요한 직업병의 하나로 자리매김하고 있다. 그러나 우리나라에서는 재해판정기준은 있으나 구체적인 인정요건에 대한 지침이 정립되지 않고 있어 업무상 질병으로 인정할 때 어떻게 판단하여야 하는지에 대한 문제가 심각해질 우려가 있다. 따라서 본고에서는 한국, 일본, 미국의 업무상 질병 인정기준을 비교하고 그중에서 작업관련성에 대한 각국의 ㅊ차이를 비교함으로서 어떤 문제가 해결되어야 할 것인지를 논하고자 한다.

This research has a purpose of providing base data to prevent musculoskeletal disorders, by analyzing the changes in muscle body due to sling exercises, of the industrial laborers with work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The subjects of this research are 20 volunteers who applied for musculoskeletal treatment exercises in hospitals, from region D industry H. 10 of the 20 subjects were involved in sling exercise program for 12 weeks, and the other 10 subjects were ordered to retain their common practices. We have used the statistics software SPSS ver.18.0 to analyze the data, and have offered a descriptive analysis of the measured variables. To discover the sling exercise effects, we have executed a t-test (paired sample t-test) comparing the before-after relationship of 12-week sling exercise program, and the level of significance were set to a=.05. With these set of research methods and procedures, we have concluded the following. As a result, we have concluded that 12-week sling exercise program does exert influence in changing muscle body of work-related musculoskeletal patients.
