Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the job characteristics of container terminal workers by applying the Job Strain model, and to assess the relationship among the general characteristics, job characteristics and psychosocial distress. Methods: A self-administrated questionnaire survey was performed to the container terminal workers in Pusan. Among the 200 male workers who answered the questionnaires, white-collar workers and blue-collar workers were 100, respectively. Karaseks Job Content Questionnaire was utilized to evaluate the job characteristics and Psychosocial well-being index (PWI) was applied to measure the extent of their psychosocial stress. Results: In white-collar workers, the skill discretion, created skill, decision-making authority, decision-making latitude, psychological job demand, and supervisor support of the job characteristics were significantly high, while in blue-collar workers physical exertion was significantly high. The result of Psychosocial well-being index (PWI) reveals that blue-collar workers were more stressed than white-collar workers, especially, the indices of depression (factor 2), sleeping disturbance and anxiety (factor 3), General well-being and vitality (factor 4) were significantly increased; whereas, in white-collar workers, only the index of social performance and self-confidence (factor 1) was significantly increased. And PWI scores were significantly increased in the lower social support and psychological job demand. By the multiple logistic regression analysis for PWI, blue-collar workers had increased odds ratio of 2.66(95% CI;1.11-6.41) compared with white-collar workers. The unmarried workers increased odds ratio of 3.54(95% CI;1.18-10.62) compared with married workers. And workers who have not own house increased odds ratio of 2.35(95% CI;1.15-4.79) compared with workers who have own house. Particularly, odds ratio of work-shift in blue-collar workers was 11.10(2.14-57.64). Conclusion: Skill discretion, created skill, decision-making authority, decision-making latitude, psychological job demand, and supervisor support were increased in white-collar workers. Decreased skill discretion and increased physical exertion were found in blue-collar workers, which is supported the Job Strain model. Job stress of blue-collar workers was comparatively higher than that of white-collar workers, especially, skill discretion, decision-making authority, decision-making latitude, job insecurity, physical exertion were noticeable factors. Especially, sleeping, smoking, and work shifting turned out to be a main cause that increases stress. Therefore, in order to decrease the job stress, a health promotion program to change the health behaviors should be activated and an organized job stress management program should be introduced. Especially, working condition for blue-collar such as physical exertion and work-shift should be improved.

최근까지 수면과 stress 만성 동통에 관한 많은 석학들의 연구가 이루어져 왔다. 만성적인 구강안면 통증의 조절에 있어 단지 치료실내의 치료만으로는 반응하지 않는 치과적 원인만이 아닌 중요한 다른 원인이 존재하는 다양한 임상 증례를 접함에 있어 만성 통증을 유발 할수 있는 수면 장애에 대해 조사하여 구강안면 통증 환자의 진단과 치료에 있어 유용한 정보를 제공하고자 한다. 수면은 극히 개인적인 과정이며 같은 수면 양태를 지닌 사람은 거의 없다. 이렇듯 다양한 수면 양태를 Pittsburgh sleep quality index를 이용하여 주관적 수면의 질, 수면 잠복기, 수면 장애, 수면 효율, 수면제의 사용, 주간 기능 장애를 분석하여 총 수면 지수와 구강 안면 통증 양상을 연구하였다. 101명에게 PSQI 설문지와 behavioral pain scale을 이용하여 수면력과 두경부 통증과 통증의 확산, 두통과 수면, 통증에 대처 하는 방법등에 대해 조사하였다. 이에 본 연구에서 양호한 수면자와 불량 수면자에 따른 수면의 질 통증 환자군, 두통이 있는 군, 전신적 약 복용, 습관적으로 카페인 함유 음료를 마시는 대상에게서 수면 장애가 있음을 보여 주었고 불량 수면자에게서 두경부 통증과 통증의 확산, 운동시 통증 등의 빈도가 더 높았음을 보여주었다. 통증을 해소 하는 방법은 그냥 쉰다 등 으로 적극 적이지 못했으며, 추후 수면이 통증 해소에 도움이 될수 있는 지에 따른 연구가 필요하리라 생각된다.

본 연구는 일부 지역 치위생과 학생을 대상으로 IBS와 수면의 질의 관련성을 파악하기 위하여 수행하였다. 연구대상은 전북지역 4개 대학 치위생과 344명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 2013년 5월부터 9월까지 수행하였으며 결과는 다음과 같다. 대상자의 IBS의 배변양상유형은 혼합형이 57.6%로 가장 많았고, 변비형 10.5%, 미분류형 7.1%, 설사형 6.1%로 나타났다. 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 수면의 질은 3학년 11.45점, 2학년 10.90점, 1학년 9.53점으로 학년이 높을수록 수면의 질이 통계적으로 유의하게 낮았으며, IBS일 경우에서도 수면의 질이 낮아 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. IBS 유무에 따른 수면의 질 차이는 습관적 수면효율성, 수면제 복용, 낮 시간 기능장애가 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내 대조군에 비해 수면의 질이 낮았다. IBS 배변양상유형에 따른 수면의 질 차이는 수면방해에서 혼합형이 6.86점으로 가장 높았고, 습관적 수면효율성은 변비형이 1.00점, 주관적 수면의 질은 변비형이 1.42점, 수면제 복용은 미분류형이 0.15점으로 가장 높았으나 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았지만, 낮 시간 기능장애에서는 변비형이 2.61점으로 가장 높아 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p=0.012). 수면의 질 하위요인간의 상관관계는 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과를 바탕으로 IBS의 경우와 학년이 높을수록 수면의 질이 낮다는 것을 알 수 있었고, IBS의 경우 낮은 수면의 질로 인하여 낮 시간 동안의 기능장애가 있는 것으로 나타나, 과민성장증후군의 증상에 대해 교육하고 증상을 완화시킬 수 있는 적절한 스트레스 관리법과 올바른 식습관에 관한 교육 및 예방프로그램 개발을 통해 수면의 질을 높일 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.
