Abstract

This study is a descriptive research for understanding the health behaviors, job stress, and musculoskeletal subjective symptoms of university employees, and also for examining the influence factors having effects on the musculoskeletal subjective symptoms. Targeting total 158 university employees, the data was collected from July to August 2020. In the results of this study, the characteristics related to health behaviors showed the percentages like the rate of drinking(68.6%), rate of smokers(9.6%), rate of exercising three times or more a week(15.4%), and the rate of regular eating habit(64.7%). The mean score of job stress was 63.7. The musculoskeletal disease symptom group falling under the occupational musculoskeletal subjective symptom standard of NIOSH was 18.6%, and the musculoskeletal subjective symptom of shoulders showed the highest rate. Also, the 29.5% of research subjects responded that the cause for their musculoskeletal pain was work. As the factors having effects on the musculoskeletal subjective symptoms, the sex, age, career experience, and job stress had significant effects on the subjective symptom of shoulder part(p<.01) while the regular exercise had significant effects on the subjective symptom of waist(p<.05). The educational background and regular meals had significant effects on the subjective symptom of legs and knees(p<.05). Thus, in order to prevent the musculoskeletal diseases of university employees, it would be necessary to develop/apply the programs for the relief of job stress, regular exercise, and regular meals.

본 연구는 대학 교직원의 건강행태, 직무스트레스, 근골격계 자각증상에 대해 알아보고, 근골격계 자각증상에 미치는 영향요인을 규명하기 위한 서술적조사 연구이다. 대학 교직원 158명을 대상으로 하였으며, 자료수집기간은 2020년 7월부터 8월까지이었다. 연구결과 건강행태 관련 특성에서 음주를 하는 비율이 68.6%였고, 흡연자 9.6%, 주 3회 이상 운동하는 비율은 15.4%, 규칙적인 식사 습관을 가진 비율이 64.7%로 나타났다. 직무스트레스는 평균점수가 63.7점이며, NIOSH의 직업적 근골격계 자각증상 기준에 해당되는 근골격계 질환 증상군은 18.6%으로 그 중 어깨 부위 근골격계 자각증상의 비율이 가장 많게 나타났다. 또한, 연구 대상자의 29.5%가 근골격계 통증의 원인이 업무라고 응답하였다. 근골격계 자각증상에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 어깨부위 자각증상은 성별, 연령, 경력, 직무스트레스가 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며(p<.01), 허리 자각증상은 흡연과 규칙적인 운동이 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 다리·무릎 자각증상은 학력, 규칙적인 식사가 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 따라서 대학 교직원의 근골격계 질환을 예방하기 위해서는 직무스트레스 완화, 규칙적인 운동, 규칙적인 식사를 할 수 있도록 프로그램 개발 및 적용이 필요하다.
