이 연구는 물리치료사의 직무스트레스와 이직의도를 확인하고 둘 사이의 관련성을 파악하기 위해 실시되었다. 연구 대상자는 경기 인천지역에 근무하는 물리치료사 309명이었다. 자료 수집은 2015년 6월 1일부터 동년 6월 25일까지 구조화된 자기-기입방식 설문조사를 사용하였다. 연구결과, 직무스트레스는 직무자율에서 가장 높았고, 관계갈등에서 가장 낮게 나타났으며, 이직의도는 $2.80{\pm}0.70$점이었다. 물리치료사는 나이와 총근무년수가 증가할수록 직무스트레스와 이직의도가 높아지는 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<.05). 이직의사는 모든 직무스트레스 요인들과 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었고, 의욕저하 또한 직무불안정을 제외한 직무스트레스의 모든 요인들과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<.05). 또한 직무스트레스 요인 중 직무자율, 직무체계, 보상, 직장문화가 이직의도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 물리치료사의 직무 스트레스의 증가는 이직의도를 높이는 위험요인인 것을 알 수 있었고, 직무스트레스와 이직의도를 감소시키기 위한 노력이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Background: Organizations are pursing complex and diverse aims to generate higher profits. Many workers experience high work intensity such as workload and work pressure in this organizational environment. Especially, psychological burden is a commonly used term in workplace of Republic of Korea. This study focused on defining the psychological burden from the perspective of occupational safety and health and tried to develop a scale for psychological burden. Methods: The 48 preliminary questionnaire items for psychological burden were prepared by a focus group interview with 16 workers through the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire II and Mindful Awareness Attention Scale. The preliminary items were surveyed with 572 workers, and exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and correlation analysis were conducted for a new scale. Results: As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, five factors were extracted: organizational activity, human error, safety and health workload, work attitude, and negative self-management. These factors had significant correlations and reliability, and the stability of the model for validity was confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis. Conclusion: The developed scale for psychological burden can measure workers' psychological burden in relation to safety and health. Despite some limitations, this study has applicability in the workplace, given the relatively small-sized questionnaire.

Purpose: This study was to investigate the factors influencing hotel workers' health practice. Methods: This study was based on the partial PRECEDE model. The subjects of this study were 261 servers sampled at random from a hotel located in Seoul. For the statistical analysis of collected data, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and logistic regression were performed with the SAS (Version. 8.01) program. Results: There were statistically significant primary factors influencing different parts of health practice. That is, regular exercise was influenced by gender, age and marital status, diet habit was by marital status, and type of working, prohibition of smoking was by gender, age and type of employment, and drinking by gender and job stress. Conclusion: This study has a limitation in generalized application to hotels in this country because it is a cross-sectional examination about the factors affecting health practice in the employees of a hotel. Further study is needed with various and broad variables that promote health practice and contributed to the development of health promotion programs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in requirement and activity related to workers' health promotion according to business type and enterprise size. Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of data extracted from a survey on the Enterprise Health Promotion Index. For the present analysis, 7,784 companies were selected. Results: Requirements for lifestyle management and activities to prevent musculoskeletal disorders were the highest. The requirement and activity of musculoskeletal disorders and cerebrovascular disease were high in the manufacturing industry. Meanwhile, in the non-manufacturing industry, the requirement and activity of job stress management were high. Small-sized companies had a high requirement to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and cerebrovascular disease. Conclusion: Government support should be strengthened in workers' lifestyle management. Additionally, workers' health promotion in small-sized companies needs to focus on preventing musculoskeletal disorders and cerebrovascular disease.

This review paper is to provide theoretical background and empirical evidence for gender sensitive health policy in Korea. We explore how sex and gender are implicated in health disparities. After reviewing major concepts regarding sex, gender, and health, the study moves on to describe the ways in which gender interacts with other social determinants (socioeconomic position, workplace, stress, social support, and violation) to show disparate health outcomes. Next, suggested health models considering gender and social process are introduced. The article concludes by suggesting the necessity of gender sensitive policy consorted with social programs in tackling health equity.

The work posture impose additional stress upon human workers so that it should be carefully considered in designing works. However, we have a lot of manufacturing plants which convert their standing workplace to sedentary one. To confirm the validity of that trend, the authors conducted an experimental study, and compared the results. The results of the EMG and the self-cognitive symptoms, in general, showed a correspondent trend that the sedentary work posture was rated more comfortable. At the beginning of the work, complaint of the lowerback was higher whereas that of the lower leg and the feet went higher as the time elapsed. If the weight of workpiece were heavier than 500g, increasing rate of bodily discomfort in the sedentary posture were greater than that of the standing posture. In the meanwhile, the standing posture was consistently superior to the sedentary posture in its performance. Thus, in conclusion, for a light assembly work, sedentary work posture would be recommendable because bodily discomfort would be larger irrespective of the small increase of performance increase.

Today, the number of automated machine has rapidly increased in industrial workplaces. Nevertheless, workers are often required to handle materials manually. Technical information for using the revised NIOSH lifting equation to evaluate a variety of two - handed Manual Material Handling (MMH) tasks was investigated. The NIOSH suggested the Lifting Index that provides a relative estimate of the level of physical stress associated with a particular manual lifting task. To measure operator's workload in lifting task, Lifting Index Simulator(LIS) was developed based upon the revised NIOSH lifting equation in this study. The purpose of this study was to develop LIS and use the NIOSH lifting equation in our workplace.

The South Korean construction industry has shown a high proportion of industrial accidents (approximately 28% of whole injuries) and the continuously increasing accident rate. Although many safety research emphasized that the 3E (Enforcement, Education, and Engineering) approach is a potential solution to enhance workplace safety, there should be benefits to consider psychological (i.e., Emotional) effects on the safety performance since most construction works are human-oriented. Thus, understanding construction workers' psychological conditions can be a priority. This research studied the relationships between psychological conditions-which cover stress, personal temperament, emotional disturbance, and drinking habit-and specific safety-related factors including safety motivation and knowledge, and safety performance of individual workers at a construction site. This study conducted a survey of 430 respondents and analyzed the data with the multiple linear regressions. The results imply persistence, trait anxiety, and problem-focused coping style are the critical factors that should be controlled for enhancing jobsite safety. Finally, the research outcomes could be applied to build a strategic safety management plan for a construction manager.

본 연구는 의료기관 간호사의 양육스트레스, 역할갈등이 이직의도에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 본 연구대상은 병원에서 근무하는 간호사로 자녀가 있는 간호사를 142명을 대상으로 하였으며, 수집된 자료의 분석은 SPSS/WIN 23.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 대상자의 양육스트레스의 정도는 4점 만점에 평균 2.50점, 역할갈등 정도는 5점 만점에 평균 2.48점, 이직의도 정도는 5점 만점에 평균 2.71점이었다. 이직의도에 영향을 미치는 변수는 양육스트레스(β=.257 p<.001), 직무만족(β=.242, p<.001), 역할갈등(β=.161 p<.001)으로 나타났으며 설명력은 총 45.6%이었다. 결론적으로 병원간호사의 이직의도는 양육스트레스, 역할갈등, 직장만족이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 기혼간호사들의 양육스트레스와 역할갈등을 낮추기 위한 방안으로 양육과정에 있는 간호사들의 근무환경 개선 방안이 필요하다.
