본 연구는 지역아동센터에서 아동들에게 직접 서비스를 제공하는 핵심인력인 사회복지사의 사회적 지지가 직무만족에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 전라남도 소재의 지역아동센터에서 근무하는 사회복지사를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 240부를 분석자료로 활용하였다. 사회복지사의 인구통계학적 특성을 통제변수로 설정하여 사회적 지지가 직무만족에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 사회적 지지가 직무만족에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 사회복지사의 사회적 지지가 높을수록 사회복지사의 직무만족이 높다는 것을 의미한다. 분석결과를 바탕으로 사회복지사의 사회적 지지 향상 방안으로 첫째, 지역아동센터 사회복지사들의 업무 표준화와 전문교육의 지지 강화, 둘째, 우수지역아동센터의 가산점 부여, 셋째, 동료 및 지역사회간 네트워크 협력 체계 구축을 제언으로 한다.

본 연구의 목적은 2008년 7월에 실시된 노인 장기요양 보험제도 실시에 따라서 보건 복지 전문직 종사자의 수요모형을 구축하고 수요를 예측함으로써 인프라구축이 필요한 교육기관의 학과개설과 증원에 대비하고자 함이다. 2009년 5월 현재 노인 장기요양 보험 시행 1주년 주요 통계 현황을 바탕으로 2010부터 2030년까지 장래 노인인구의 노인 장기요양 인정자 추계와 이에 따른 시설 요양기관, 재가 서비스기관, 가족급여등의 요양보험 이용자로 인한 보건 복지 전문직 종사자의 수요를 측정하였다. 사회복지사는 2020년 16,624명 2030년 24,688명으로 전망되었다. 간호사는 2020년 11,287명, 2030년에는 16,764명으로 수요증가가 가속화될 전망이다. 요양보호사의 경우 2009년에 필요한 인원은 44,824명이며 8월 31일 현재 1,078개의 교육기관에서 1년간 약 50만명 이상을 양성함으로써 소요인원의 10배 이상으로 과다 양성되었다.

Objectives: Oral health management is important to improve the quality of life among the elderly. This study investigated the performance of elderly oral health management among some care workers in long-term-care hospitals. Methods: The study subjects were 174 care workers in 10 long-term-care hospitals. Data on general characteristics of care workers, attitude, recognition and knowledge of elderly health, performance of elderly oral health management were collected by a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed through descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, correlation and multiple regression analysis by using a SPSS version 23.0 statistical program. Results: The performance score of oral health management was $4.34{\pm}0.64$ on the 5-point Likert scale. The subjects who exercised more than 2 times a month were significantly higher in their performance of elderly oral health management compared to subjects who did not exercise (${\beta}=0.232$, p=0.035). And, the subjects who cared 10-19 persons were significantly higher in performance of elderly oral health management compared to subjects who cared more than 20 elderly (${\beta}=0.246$, p=0.020). The oral health behavior of care worker (${\beta}=0.271$, p<0.001) and the knowledge of oral health care (${\beta}=0.055$, p=0.008) were positively related to the performance of elderly oral health management. Conclusions: The educational program designed to improve knowledge of care workers in accordance with the standard textbook for training care workers should be developed, and the long term education program should be reinforced to improve the performance for elderly oral health care. If care workers can care a proper number of old persons, they will give oral health care to them.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting medical knowledge and practice of dental treatment for systemic disease among dental health care workers. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 222 dental health care workers working in Seoul, Daejeon, Busan, Gyeonggi province, Chungcheong province, and Jeolla province within the period between May 1 - June 30, 2016. Knowledge and medical knowledge about the clinical treatment of patients suffering from systemic disease and their practice were composed of items that were corrected, supplemented, and developed by themselves based on previous research. Results: Factors affecting knowledge about clinical treatment of patients suffering from systemic disease were place of employment, treatment about systemic disease, and practice of dental treatment for systemic diseases. Predictive power was 38.5%. Factors affecting practice of clinical treatment of patients suffering from systemic disease were sex, place of employment, treatment about systemic disease, the basic equipment and drugs needed for emergency care, and knowledge of dental treatment for systemic diseases. Predictive power was 39.1%. Conclusions: Dental health care workers' knowledge and practice of dental treatment of patients suffering from systemic diseases were important factors influencing each other.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the risk perception, safety climate and preventive behaviors of COVID-19 infections, and to verify the factors influencing the adoption of preventive behaviors by health care workers. Methods: A mixed-method approach was used based on a survey carried out in a general hospital. Quantitative data (N=181) were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple regression. Qualitative data (N=8) were collected through individual interviews and analyzed through Colaizzi's phenomological research method. Results: The factors influencing adoption of preventive behaviors by health care workers were safety climate (β=.41, p<.001), education (β=-.20, p=.025), work unit (β=-.16, p=.032), and risk perception (β=.15, p=.020). The explanatory power was 28.3%, and they have shown that these health care workers felt 'the threat of a pandemic like a battlefield', experienced 'struggle with quarantine rules' and realized 'the reality of infection control and the reorganization for change'. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that to increase the adoption of infection control preventive behaviors by health care workers when faced with new infectious diseases in the future, it is necessary to establish organizational support and a safe climate. This study confirms the need for preemptive support and education.

Coronavirus disease 2019 poses an occupational health risk to health-care workers. Several thousand health-care workers have already been infected, mainly in China. Preventing intra-hospital transmission of the communicable disease is therefore a priority. Based on the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety model, the strategies and measures to protect health-care workers in an acute tertiary hospital are described along the domains of work task, technologies and tools, work environmental factors, and organizational conditions. The principle of zero occupational infection remains an achievable goal that all health-care systems need to strive for in the face of a potential pandemic.
