Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze dental technician's job environment and job stress level and to examine its correlation. 180 dental technicians in Seoul, Incheon, and Chungnam area were selected. Survey was carried out from April 6, 2009 to May 20, 2009 by using self-administered questionnaire. The following are the analytical results in the collected data. 1. As a result of analyzing the research subjects' working environment level, there was significant difference in the item of health(P<0.05). The average in the working environment was indicated to be high with 1.53. 2. As a result of analyzing the research subjects' job-stress causing level, there was no significant item in all the variables. The average of job stress was indicated to be high with 3.44. 3. As for correlation between working environment and job stress, most of variables were indicated to have reverse correlation, thereby having been shown that the worse working environment leads to the more job stress.

본 연구는 치과기공사의 작업환경과 직무스트레스 정도를 분석하고 그 상관관계를 알아보기 위해 서울특별시, 인천광역시, 충남지역의 치과기공사 180명을 선정하고 자기 기입식 설문지를 이용하여 2009년 4월 6일에서 5월 20일까지 조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료의 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 연구 대상자의 작업 환경정도를 분석한 결과 건강 항목에서 유의한 차이가 있었다(P<0.05). 작업환경 평균은 1.53 으로 높게 나타났다 2. 연구대상자의 직무 스트레스 유발정도를 분석한 결과 모든 변수에서 유의한 항목은 없었다. 직무 스트레스 평균은 3.44로 높게 나타났다. 3. 작업환경과 직무스트레스의 상관관계는 대부분의 변수가 역 상관관계 가 있는 것으로 나타나 작업환경이 나쁠수록 직무스트레스를 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다.
