Firemen are directly exposed to various harmful chemicals, physical factors and mental stress during rescue and fire-fighting. In fire extinguishing, unstable posture, poisonous gas, dust, high temperature and heavy equipments are possible hazardous factors. The alertness for emergency, shift work, job strain and stress are also possibly hazardous. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of musculo-skeletal symptoms and job stress and to determine risk factors in firemen. This study was carried out in a group of 226 firemen in Busan City, Korea. Standardized Nordic Questionnaire was used to investigate the prevalence of musculo-skeletal symptoms and Psycho-social Well-being Index (abbreviated PWI) was used to investigate the prevalence of job stress. General and occupational characteristics were included education, marital status, alcohol and smoking history, working duration, and work shift system. Body mass index (BMI) scores were calculated by physical examination including height and weight. Concerning musculo-skeletal complaints, the commonest site was neck, and shoulder, lower back, upper back were the next. Complaint site above one area of body was about 80%. From multiple logistic regression analysis, working duration was significant variable in musculo-skeletal symptoms. Odds ratio were 15.4 in working duration. About 16.8% was high risk stress group. From multiple logistic regression analysis, shift work and alcohol drinking were significant variables in PWI scores. Odds ratios were 2.25 in shift work. Accordingly, interventions are needed for health promotion of long term and shift worker.

Objective: This study was performed to identify the related factors of change affecting the stage of change, on the assumption that there are various stages of change in the exercise behavior of workers. Method: The subjects of the study consisted of 138 workers of 10 workplaces located in Daejeon City, and data collected by using questionnaires were analyzed with SPSS/WIN 11.5 program. Results: The subjects were distributed in the stage of exercise behavior change as follows: precontemplation stage(10.9%), contemplation stage(22.5%), preparation stage(41.3%), action stage(8.7%), and maintenance stage(16.7%). Of the process of change depending on the stage of exercise behavior change, the consciousness raising(F=11.50, p=.00), dramatic relief(F=2.82, p=.02) showed significant difference in the cognitive process, and the counter conditioning(F=4.56, p=.00), reinforcement management(F=4.64, p=.00), self-liberation(F=9.46, p=.00), and stimulus control(F=13.28, p=.00) showed significant difference in the behavioral process. For decision-making depending on the stage of exercise behavior change, both the pros of decision-making(F=9.23, p=.00) and the cons of decision-making(F=2.45, p=.04) showed significant difference. Self-efficacy depending on the stage of exercise behavior change showed significant difference as F=11.50, p=.00. The related factors of change affecting the stage of exercise behavior change were the pros of decision-making, the cons of decision-making, and self-efficacy including 34.1% R-square. Conclusion: In order to change the exercise behavior of workers positively, they need to be stimulated to use the cognitive and behavioral process in the process of change properly, and to be induced to make a decision positively. And also exercise programs suitable to various characteristics of each worker as well as those of workplaces to enhance self-efficacy need to be applied after being devised. Through the further longitudinal research, it is necessary to analyze the various aspects, such as groups to select, to maintain, to stop or give up the exercise, and to avoid the change, and to study how the related factors of change affect diversity like the above.

Objective : The objective of this study is to determine the effects of fear of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) on socio-psychological health during an outbreak of MERS and the post-traumatic stress as a mediator on the relationship between stress and socio-psychological health. Methods : Visual Analog Scale, Impact of Event Scale -Revised, Psychosocial well-being index short form was implemented for 150 medical persons who worked at the hospital in which exposure to MERS cases had been confirmed and 96 ordinary people. A Pearson correlation coefficient and a hierarchical multiple regression was carried out to confirm the effect of fear of MERS and the mediating effect of post-traumatic stress between fear and socio-psychological health. Results : The higher the fear, the lower the socio-psychological health in both healthcare workers and the public (r=0.32, p<0.01) and the higher post-traumatic stress (r=0.32, p<0.01). But, the research results showed that only healthcare workers had a partially mediating effect of post-traumatic stress in the relationship between fear and socio-psychological health (${\beta}=0.45$, t=6.33 p<0.001), (${\beta}$ value : 0.39>0.26). Conclusion : This study demonstrated that the post-traumatic stress can indirectly lead to a negative effect on the socio-psychological health of healthcare workers when under the fear of MERS and shows adverse effects on psycho-social wellbeing. This suggests that clinical intervention and psycho-social approach aiming at reducing post-traumatic stress is important to maintain mental health during crisis development.

본 연구는 임금근로장애인의 코로나19로 인한 직장 내 어려움과 생활만족도의 관계에서 고용안정성의 매개효과, 그리고 장애중증여부에 의한 조절된 매개효과를 확인하는 데 목적을 두었다. SPSS 25ver, PROCESS macro를 활용하여 분석을 실시한 결과, 코로나19로 인한 직장 내 어려움은 임금근로장애인의 고용안정성을 통해 생활만족도에 부적 영향을 미쳤다. 즉 임금근로장애인이 경험하는 코로나19로 인한 직장 내 어려움 수준이 고용안전성을 통해 생활만족도를 저해하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 이러한 변수들 간의 관계에서 장애중증 여부의 조절효과는 나타나지 않았다. 이는 코로나19로 인한 직장 내 어려움은 장애 정도와 무관하게 임금근로장애인의 고용안정성, 생활만족도를 감소시키는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 본 연구는 팬데믹 상황에서 임금근로장애인의 생활만족도, 고용안정성 증진을 위한 제도적 시사점들을 논의하였다.

뇌성마비아의 조기 발견에 관련된 모자인자를 조사하기 위하여 1987년 2월부터 1987년 4월까지 대구 장애자 복지관, 대구대학교 부설재활원, 성바오로 어린이집, 그리고 부산 뇌성마비아복지회에 통원 또는 입원치료를 받고 있는 어린이 110명중 1980년 1월 1일 이후 출생자 74명 전원의 어머니를 대상으로 면담조사 하였다. 아버지의 학력과 이상 발견시기와는 아무런 상관관계가 없었으나 어머니의 학력이 대학졸업이상 일때가 고졸이하에 비해 어린이의 이상을 일찍 발견했고, 또 아버지의 직업이 전문직 또는 관리직일 때가 그 이외의 직업에 비해, 그리고 아버지의 월수입이 610,000원이상 일때가 600,000원 이하보다 더 일찍 발견하는 경향이었다. 첫째아이가 둘째아이 보다 그리고 부모의 나이가 34세 이하인 경우가 35세 이상인 경우에 비해 좀더 일찍 이상을 발견하는 경향을 보였다. 남아에서 여아에 비해 더 일찍 이상이 발견되었고 육아상담을 정기적으로 받은 어린이에서 정기적으로 받지 않은 어린이보다 더 일찍 이상이 발견되었는데 5% 유의수준에는 약간 못미쳤다. 연구대상아를 임신했을 때 산전관리를 7회이상 받았던 경우가 6회이하 받았던 경우에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 일찍 어린이의 이상이 발견되었다. 처음으로 이상을 발견한 사람은 부모가 85.1%, 육아 상담을 정기적으로 받은 여부와는 관계없이 의사가 발견한 것은 2.7%였고 부모가 어린이의 이상을 발견하고 의사의 진단을 받았을때 36.5%에서 뇌성마비 진단을 받았고 나머지는관찰, 정상등으로 진단이 확실하지 않았다. 부모가 어린이의 이상을 발견하고 $2{\sim}3$개월 뒤에 의사의 진단을 받았고 진단후 전문적 치료를 시작할 때까지 방치했거나 물리치료, 한약, 침술 등을 받았다. 뇌성마비아의 조기 발견을 위해 의학교육과 임상수련과정에서 어린이의 발달을 평가하는 방법의 교육과 수련이 강화되어야 할 것이며 진단을 위한 전문인력의 양성이 필요한 것으로 생각된다. 또 부모들의 뇌성마비를 비롯한 각종 장애의 진단과 치료에 대한 인식을 높이기 위한 계몽교육이 필요하다.

1989년 5월부터 1990년 4월까지 경주군 보건소 결핵실에 신규등록한 초치료 결핵환자 195명과, 경주군 의료보험조합에 가입하여 1988년 1월부터 1989년 11월 까지 병 의원에서 치료 중인 결핵환자 381명중 조사가 가능했던 176명을 대상으로 결핵에 관한 관리양상을 조사하였다. 보건소 등록자가 병 의원 등록자보다 사회경재적 수준이 대체적으로 낮았으며, 가족 중 환자의 비율이 보건소 등록자가 병 의원 치료자보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 폐결핵에 대한 인식이 과거보다 개선되어 결핵이 '전염병'이라고 정확하게 알고 있는 사람은 보건소 등록자와 병 의원 치료자가 각각 59.5%와 51.7%로 나타났으며 이는 유의한 차이를 보였고(p<0.05), '유전병'이라고 알고 있는 자도 두군에서 각각 9.2%와 11.4%로 나타났다. 폐결핵 치료에 대한 인식에서도 '잘 치료하면 환치가 가능하다'라고 대답한 사람이 보건소 등록자가 3%로 병 의원 치료자의 77.8%보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 폐결핵 치료를 위해서 '규칙적으로 약을 복용해야 한다'고 답한 자가 보건소 등록자가 98.0%로써 병 의원 치료자의 89.8%보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). '규칙적으로 약을 복용해야 한다'고 답한 사람들 중에서 기타 질병에 도움을 줄 수 있는 항목에 대한 보건소 등록자가 병 의원 치료자보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 현재의 치료기관과 최초의 진단기관 및 치료받고자 원하는 기관의 일치도에 있어서는 병의원 치료자가 72.2%로 보건소 등록자의 34.9%보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 또 보건소 등록자가 보건소에서 최초의 진단을 받은 경우가 40.5%로써 병 의원 치료자가 병 의원에서 최초의 진단을 받은 89.2%보다 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 현재의 치료기관과 최초의 진단 기관 및 객담 검사를 받은 기관의 일치도에 있어서도 보건소 등록자가 40.0%, 병 의원 치료자가 66.5%로써 유의한 차이을 보였다(p<0.05). 보건소에서 폐결핵을 치료하는 줄 아는지 여부를 물은 결과 보건소 등록자는 81.5%, 병 의원 치료자는 73.3%가 알고 있었다고 답했으나 유의한 차이는 없었다. 병 의원 치료자들이 보건소에서 폐결핵을 치료하는 줄 알면서도 이용하지 않은 이유 중 481.%가 보건소에 대한 신뢰도에 문제가 있기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 보건소에서 거의 무료로 폐결핵을 치료한다는 것을 알게된 동기가 보건소 등록자와 병 의원 치료자 중 인간경로를 통한 경우가 각각 84.9%, 69.0%인데 비해 매스미디어를 통한 경우는 8.2%, 14.7%였고, 학교교육을 통한 경우는 2.5%, 6.2% 등으로 나타났다. 보건소 등록자들이 보건소에서 치료받은 이유는 63.0%가 '믿을 수 있기 때문'이라고 했지만 50.3%는 '비용이 적게 들기 때문'이라고 했으며, '믿을 수 있는 것은 아니지만 비용이 적게 들기 때문'이라고 한 경우가 9.3% 였고, 27.7%는 특별한 이유없이 보건소에서 치료받는 자들 이었다. 결론적으로, 보건소 등록자가 사회경제적 수준이 낮음에도 불구하고 질병에 대한 인식이 높은 것은 가족 중 결핵환자가 많은 것과 보건소가 결핵 관리를 더욱 철저히 하는 영향 때문인 것으로 여겨진다. 그러나 최초 진단 기관과 치료받은 기관의 일치도의 차이와 보건소 등록 환자의 63.0%만이 보건소를 신뢰하기 때문에 치료받는다고 한 점, 그리고 병 의원 치료자의 48.1%가 보건소에서 결핵을 거의 무료로 치료 받는다는 것을 알고 있음에도 불구하고 불신감 때문에 보건소에 오진 않는 것으로 나타나는 점 등을 고려해 볼 때 보건소 이용에 관한 홍보와 결핵에 대한 보건교육이 더욱 강화되어야 한다고 생각된다.
