Purpose: This study aimed to comprehend the real context of metabolic syndrome-related factors of Korean male blue-collar workers from small-sized companies based on the health belief model. Methods: A total of 37 workers from three companies were interviewed, and three series of focus group interviews were conducted. Data were analyzed using deductive content analysis. Results: Data were classified into four categories: knowledge, perceived susceptibility and severity, perceived barriers, and beliefs. Knowledge referred to low knowledge level; perceived susceptibility and severity referred to unawareness of susceptibility and severity; perceived barriers referred to shift work, overtime work, and a social context including having no choice but to drink; and beliefs referred to believing that health promotion behaviors do not relate to preventing metabolic syndrome, believing that one cannot prevent metabolic syndrome oneself, and believing that professional help is required. Conclusion: To prevent and reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome among Korean male blue-collar workers, interventions should focus on strategies to increase metabolic syndrome-related knowledge and perceptions, social support, and self-efficacy for practicing health behaviors. In addition, it is necessary to develop policies for establishing a healthy drinking culture in companies.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with the mental health-related quality of life (MHQoL) of Korean workers. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 192 Korean pay workers who worked in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk Province, Korea. Data were collected from May 15 to July 2, 2019, through selfreported questionnaires. The survey had a total of 87 questions including individual, organizational, and psychosocial factors. MHQoL was measured using short form-36 version 1. Data were divided into four domains of MHQoL and analyzed using a hierarchical linear regression model. Results: From the hierarchical linear regression analysis, when the psychosocial factors were included in the regression model, the R² change in the four domains of MHQoL increased significantly by 19~47%. A common predicting factor associated with the four domains of MHQoL was identified as perceived stress symptoms. Other factors affecting MHQoL showed slight differences in each domain. Conclusion: Based on the study results, it is necessary to monitor the psychosocial symptoms to improve MHQoL of Korean workers. Considering each factor affecting the four areas of MHQoL, workplace-based interventions to improve MHQoL should be provided to workers.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing health-promoting behaviors (HPB) among fish market merchants. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design including 117 merchants working at a fish market in city C. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires during April 19-30, 2021, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé's test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression analysis with SPSS/WIN 23.0. Results: The scores were 2.68±0.49 for HPB among fish market merchants. Factors significantly influencing HPB among fish market merchants were perceived disabilities (β=-.42, p<.001), self-efficacy (β=.26, p<.001), perceived benefits (β=.16, p=.012), exercise (β=.14, p=.023) and daily working hours (β=-.13, p=.030). These factors accounted for 60.3% of the HPB of fish market merchants. Conclusion: These findings suggest that efforts are needed to reduce perceived disabilities, reduce working hours per day, and develop programs to enhance self-efficacy, perceived benefits, and exercise in order promote HPB among fish market merchants.

본 연구는 업종별 산업간호사의 보건관리업무의 내용과 수행정도를 측정하고 업종별 보건관리업무 수행정도를 비교 분석코저 한다. 연구방법은 산업간호사회에 등록된 산업장중 서울, 인천, 마산, 창원, 부산, 울산 지역에 있는 130개 산업장을 임의로 선정하여 산업간호사를 대상으로 설문조사하였다. 자료분석은 반도와 백분율, 업종간의 보건관리업무 내용별 수행정도는 일원분산분석과 다중검증 비교로 유의성을 검증하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 업종별로 산업간호사의 업무수행에 유의한 차이를 보인 보건관리내용은 서비스업에 있어서 근로자의 건강사정에 대한 수행정도가 제조업과 기타제조업에서 보다 높게 나타났다.(F=4.23, P=.0167) 반면에 근로자의 건강진단과 계속관리, 작업환경 관리업무 수행정도는 제조업과 기타제조업에서 서비스업보다 높게 나타났다.(F=9.78, P=.0001 ; F=5.366. P=.005) 2) 업종간에 유의한 차이가 없는 보건관리내용은 산업장진단 또는 건강문제분석, 보건교육, 통상증상에 대한 투약, 기록과 보고, 건강관리실 운영 등이었으며 업무수행정도는 가끔 또는 필요시하는 정도로 나타났다. 반면에 조사, 연구 참여에 대한 수행정도는 세 업종 모두 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과들은 산업장 간호사의 신규교육이나 직무교육과정운영이 업종별로 운영되어야 함을 시사해 준다고 볼 수 있으며 또한 산업간호사의 직무 중 보건 교육, 통상질환에 대한 투약, 기록 및 보고, 건강관리실운영등은 업종간에 유의한 차이가 없으나, 수행정도는 낮은것으로 나타나 이에 대한 실제적인 직무교육이 강화되어야 할 것으로 생각된다. 특히 보건교육도 업종별로 차이가 있으므로 다양한 보건교육교재의 개발이 필요하다고 생각된다.
