  • 목적: 본 논문에서는 증가되는 안경광학과 입학정원의 문제점과 안경사의 수요공급에 대하여 연구하였다. 방법: 교육통계, 보건복지백서, 대학 알리미, 대학의 홈페이지를 통하여 자료를 수집하였다. 결과: 안경광학과의 모집정원을 이용하여 수요와 공급 등을 예측하였다. 결론: 현재 배출된 안경사의 수는 과잉공급이다. 안경사의 과잉 공급은 안경사의 근로여건 악화와 직무만족도 저하 유발하고 따라서 그리고 잦은 이직과 타 직종으로의 전업을 발생시킨다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 정확한 자료의 조사가 필요하며 안경사 유관 기관들은 결집하여 정부의 인력정책수립에 대응해야 한다. 그리고 안경사의 직무영역 확대, 질적 수준 향상, 근로여건 개선 등은 안경광학과 학제의 통일과 입학정원의 축소를 용하여 이뤄질 수 있다.

  • This paper illustrates the application of Fuzzy Theory and Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) for developing Occupational Stress Index(OSI). The purpose of the OSI development is for future prediction and problem solving of prevailing occupational stress. In developing OSI, the concept of fuzzy set theory was introduced to determine the existence and level of perceived occupational stress instead of actually measuring the strain parameters. The AHP is adopted to collect different weighting factors, since there exist various perceptions and responses to the occupational stress by different individuals. The validation study revealed that the OSI is a reliable predictor of work-related accident and illness and the physiological health of employees. Creating preventive measures, such as early detection of stress, proper placement and promotion of employees, and job enlargement will be possible by using this OSI effectively.

  • To investigate the risk factors of low back pain, an epidemiological study was carried out among male workers aged 20-55 employed in an automobile industry in Korea during the time period from February 1993 to October 1995. Workers participated to this study were divided into low back pain group(LBP) and control group, according to the self-reports by written questionnaires. General characteristics, medical history, work related factors, fatigue, and MMPI were compared between two groups. To clarify the relationship between job related low back pain and radiologic features of lumbar spine, radiographic study was carried out. The resultant data were processed for $x^2-test$, t-test, and stepwise logistic regression to confirm the adjusted odds ratios. The results were as follows: 1. History of back disease, lifting and carrying work, excessive physical fatigue, and weakend back strength of individual workers were directly associated with low back pain. Odd ratios of these 4 risk factors of low back pain were 5.07, 3.34, 1.49, and 1.22 respectively. 2. The frequency of low back pain history was significantly higher in LBP group. 3. Back muscle strength of lumbar spine of LBP group were significantly lower than control group. 4. The workers in LBP group revealed high fatigue symptoms. 5. In MMPI test LBP group showed higher scales in hypochondriasis, depression, hysteria, psychopathic deviate, paranoia, psychasthenia, schizophrenia, and hypomania. 6. LBP group were more frequently involved in lifting and carrying, working in awkward position, bending, twisting and using lower extremities. 7. LBP group were exposed more to vibration during working. 8. In the Analysis of radiographs of lumbar spine, Jacob's line not crossing fourth lumhar disc space, transitional vertebrae and lumbar displacement more than 4.4mm in standing lateral view were more frequently observed in LBP group than control group. Through these results, it is concluded that identification of previous history of back problem, change of work or working environment for workers with previous back problem and measures to relieve both physical and psychological fatigue of the workers are required for optimal management of work-related back problems among workers. In the present study, several results were different from the previous reports: Jacob's line not corssing fourth lumbar disc space, lumbarization, and vertebral slipping (spondylolisthesis) more than 4.4mm are related to backache. Meticulous studies are required to elucidate the difference.

  • 119구급대원의 응급구급활동과 관련하여 형사법적으로 문제되는 영역은 크게 세 가지이다. 첫째는 구급 요청을 거절하는 행위이며, 둘째는 요구호자를 이송하지 않는 미이송 행위이고, 셋째는 응급처치행위이다. 이러한 일련의 구급대원의 행위들이 '응급의료에 관한 법률'이나 관련 법규의 규정에 위반되어 이루어진 경우에는 이들 법률들에 규정된 범죄행위가 성립한다. 특히 정당한 이유 없이 구급요청을 거절한 행위는 응급의료법상 응급의료거부죄가 성립하고, 적법한 절차에 의하지 아니한 응급처치는 무단 응급처치죄가 성립한다. 또한 구급요청거절과 미이송 행위 그리고 응급처치나 미응급처치 등으로 인해 요구호자가 사망하거나 상태가 악화된 경우에는 형법상 살인죄나 업무상과실치사죄 또는 중상해죄가 성립할 수 있다. 이처럼 구급대원의 경우에는 구급활동과 관련하여 형사적 책임으로부터 자유로울 수가 없다. 즉 구급대원들도 직무의 소홀과 과실로 인해 발생하는 법익침해적 결과에 대해서는 당연히 형사적 책임을 져야 한다. 그러나 긴급상황에서 불가피하게 국민의 생명과 건강을 침해한 경우에는 이들을 보호할 수 있는 법적 방안도 마련되어야 하며, 특히 열악한 근무환경에서 구급대원에게만 그 책임을 전가할 수 없는 게 현실이다. 현재 구호자보호법 제정문제가 논의되고 있는데, 이 법률에 구급대원의 형사면책부분이 합리적으로 규정되어 궁극적으로 구급대원들이 국민의 생명과 건강을 지키는 파수꾼으로서 그 역할에 충실할 수 있도록 하여야 한다.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyse the factors affecting rehabilitation of physically disabled persons . Data were collected from 118 physically disabled persons who were registered at facilities for disabled persons by an interview surevey Conducted from October 17 to October 26, 1988. The three facilities for the survey were selected by stratified random sampling. The results were as follows : 1. Using factor analysis, 10 variables were-grouped into 4 factors : physical need, need for social problem-solving, need for social interaction and educational need. The proportion of variance explained by these factors was $58.3\%$. 2. Age, religion and job were significantly related to the functional life scale score, but other variables were not. 3. Family APGAR score and severity of disability were significantly rotated to the functional life scale score. 4. From the multiple regression analysis on rehabilitation of the physically disabled person, the following: three variables were statistically significant : age, severity of disability and family functioning. These results suggest that age, severity of disability and family functioning variables are important factors for rehabilitation of physically disabled persons. Since the family functioning variable can be controlled by care, rehabilitation team should monitor the variable closely to improve the efficiency of rehabilitation. Because of their implication for further study, some variables, other than those considered here, are needed for studying rehabilitation of physically disabled persons.

  • Iron deficiency anemia is a worldwide public health problem relevant to unsound nutritional practice. While the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia is very common among pregnant women, appropriate nutritional service programs to improve the iron status are lacking in Korea. In an attempt to develop a nutritional screening tool to separate the high-risk subjects of iron deficiency, we carried out a nutritional survey for 115 Korean pregnant women whose gestational age ranged from 13 to 24 weeks. Each subject was interviewed with questionnaires for general characteristics and dietary habits. Food intake was measured by 24-hour recap method and 2 day record. Fasting blood was drawn for measuring hemoglobin and serum ferritin. It appeared that half of the pregnant women belonged to the anemia group and had insufficient dietary habits to provide adequate amounts of dietary iron. The first gravida and the working women had better hematological iron indicators than the second or more gravida and the housewives. It also appeared that women who had bigger family size and lower BMI in pre-pregnancy had poorer iron status. Among the food consumption habits, fruit dependent dietary habit was related to poor iron status. Sufficiently consumed green leafy vegetable and appropriate amount of food before morning sickness were positive factors of iron stares. Our results indicated that parity, BMI, current job, family size, food habits including consumption of fruits, green & yellow vegetables, and food habits before the onset of morning sickness are significant factors to contribute the Fe deficiency anemia during pregnancy.

  • 최근 우리사회에 급증하고 있는 북한이탈주민들이 성공적으로 정착하지 못하고 부적응 현상을 보이고 있는 현실에서, 이 연구는 북한이탈주민들이 봉착해 있는 적응과 정착의 문제를 "정보"의 관점으로 접근해 보고자 하였다. 이 연구에 의하면 북한이탈주민들은 남한사회의 정착을 위해 다양한 정보요구를 가지고 있었는데, 그 중에서 취업/사업에 대한 정보요구가 가장 높았으며, 이어서 복지혜택. 건강/안전, 육아/교육, 북한소식, 언어/억양 등의 순으로 정보요구가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 안타깝게도 이러한 정보요구를 충족하기 위한 방법에서는 많은 한계가 존재하고 있었다. 그들은 남한사회 정착에 필수적인 정보를 입수하기 위해 공식적인 기관이나 단체를 활용하기보다는 자신과 같은 처지에 있는 북한이탈주민 가족, 친구, 이웃을 통해 폐쇄적으로 정보를 입수하는 경향을 보이고 있었다. 그리고 TV와 신문, 인터넷 등 대중매체 정보원을 적극적으로 활용하려는 모습은 나타났으나 현재 그들의 정보환경이 상대적으로 열악한 상태에 있어 필요한 정보를 제대로 입수하여 삶의 문제 해결에 활용하는데 어려움을 겪고 있었다.
