초록

목적: 신축건물 재실자들의 안구건조증을 조사하고, 안구건조증이 작업생산성 및 일상적인 활동에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 방법: 신축한지 3개월이 지난 건물에서 일 평균 8시간 이상을 근무하는 사무직 근로자 33명을 대상으로 하였다. 실내공기질은 알데하이드류와 온습도를 측정하여 평가하였다. 안구건조증은 Ocular Surface Disease Index(OSDI)를 이용하여 정상, 경도, 중등도 및 중증으로 분류하였고, 라식수술, 눈 화장, 일일 컴퓨터와 스마트폰 사용시간, 그리고 일일 평균 근무시간을 조사하였다. 작업생산성과 일상활동 관련 설문은 Work Limitation Productivity 설문을 사용하여 손실정도를 10점 척도로 체크하였다. 결과: 사무실의 폼알데하이드 농도는 $42.42{\pm}6.30{\mu}g/m^3$ 이었고, 온습도는 각각 $26.2{\pm}0.7^{\circ}C$와 $40{\pm}1%$ 였다. 안구건조증은 정상, 경도, 중등도 및 중증이 각각 15.2%, 18.2%, 18.2%, 48.5%였다. 안구건조증의 심한 정도와 작업생산성 및 일상적인 활동의 손실 정도는 각각 0.599와 0.655의 높은 상관성을 보였다(p<0.001). 안구건조증이 중증인 경우는 정상에 비해 유의하게 높은 작업생산성 손실과 일상활동 저해를 나타냈다(p<0.001). 안구건조증이 심한 경우는 정상에 비해 작업생산성 손실과 일상활동 저해가 3점 이상일 확률이 각각 3.26배(p=0.032)와 2.25배(p=0.045) 높았다. 결론: 신축건물 사무직 근로자들의 안구건조증은 작업생산성과 일상적인 활동에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose: The study examined dry eye symptoms of occupants in a newly constructed building and its effects on their work productivity and general activity. Methods: The study subjects were 33 office workers who spent more than eight hours per day on average in a new building constructed in the past three months. The indoor air quality of the new building was evaluated by measuring aldehydes, temperature and humidity. The level of dry eye symptoms was classified into normal, mild, moderate and severe by using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI). The experience of LASIK surgery, use of eye makeup, daily use time of a computer and smart-phone, and average daily working hours were also examined. The Work Limitation Productivity Questionnaire was used as the questionnaire about work productivity and general activity to measure the impairment level on a ten-point scale. Results: The concentration variation of formaldehyde in the office was $42.42{\pm}6.30{\mu}g/m^3$. The temperature and humidity were $26.2{\pm}0.70^{\circ}C$ and $40{\pm}1%$, respectively. The respondents with normal, mild, moderate and severe dry eye symptoms were 15.2%, 18.2%, 18.2% and 48.5%, respectively. The severity of dry eye symptoms and impairment of work productivity and general activity demonstrated high correlations of 0.599 and 0.655, respectively (p<0.001). Compared to the normal case, severe dry eye symptoms demonstrated significantly high impairment of work productivity and interruption of general activity (p<0.001). The case of serious dry symptoms showed the possibilities of having impairment level of work productivity and interruption of general activity above three points 3.26 times (p=0.032) and 2.25 times (p=0.045), respectively, higher than that of the normal case. Conclusions: It was confirmed that dry eye symptoms among office workers in a newly constructed building affects work productivity and general activity.
