초록

국내의 의료보험 제도의 순기능은 높이 평가받지만 불완전한 보장성의 문제로 인해 국민들은 민영의료보험 가입을 통해 보장성을 확보하고자 한다. 이로 인해 최근 민영의료보험의 가입률이 높아지게 되었고, 청구율 또한 높아지게 되었다. 이처럼 민영의료보험을 찾는 사람이 늘어남에 따라 민영의료보험사의 근로자는 직무 부담이 가중되었으며, 특히 보험금 지급을 담당하는 보험심사 근무직의 경우 보험금을 고객과의 소통, 회사의 수익 상출에 기여 등 다양한 이유로 직무스트레스가 나날이 증가하고 있으며 그로 인한 부작용을 경험하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 보험심사 근무직의 직무스트레스가 정신건강에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하여 보험심사 근무직의 직무스트레스를 감소시키고 정신건강을 증진하고자 서술적 조사 연구를 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 보험심사 근무직의 직무스트레스는 정신건강에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 세부적으로는 직무스트레스가 역할수행능력·자기신뢰도, 우울, 수면장애·불안, 일반건강·생명력의 정신건강 4가지 요인 모두에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 보험심사 근무직의 직무스트레스가 정신건강에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미친다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 직무스트레스는 근로자로 하여금 직무수행에 대한 열의를 감소시키고 이직률, 퇴사율을 높이는 등 조직적인 측면에서의 부작용을 초래하기도 하지만 개인의 신체 건강을 악화시키고 우울, 불안 등과 같은 질환을 유발하여 정신건강을 피폐하게 만들기도 한다. 따라서 이를 예방하기 위하여 대상자의 특성에 맞는 적절한 직무스트레스 예방법과 대처법을 제공하여 직무스트레스를 감소시키고 정신건강을 증진할 수 있도록 지원하여야 할 것이다.

The net function of the domestic medical insurance system is highly regarded, but due to the problem of incomplete coverage, the public wants to secure coverage through private medical insurance subscription. As a result, the subscription rate of private medical insurance has recently increased, and the billing rate has also increased. As the number of people seeking private medical insurance increased, workers at private medical insurance companies are experiencing increased job stress and side effects, especially for insurance reviewers who are in charge of paying insurance, such as communicating with customers who claimed insurance and contributing to the company's profit. In response, this study analyzed the effects of job stress on mental health of insurance reviewers and conducted a descriptive survey study to reduce job stress of insurance reviewers and promote mental health. The analysis shows that job stress for insurance reviewers has a significant impact on mental health (+). In detail, job stress has a significant impact on all four factors: social performance and self-confidence, depression, sleeping disturbance and anxiety, and general well-being and vitality. This study showed that job stress in insurance reviewers has a significant (+) impact on mental health. Job stress can cause side effects in organizational aspects, such as reducing enthusiasm for job performance and increasing turnover and resignation rates, but it can also worsen individual physical health and cause diseases such as depression and anxiety, causing mental health to be impoverished. Therefore, in order to prevent this, appropriate work stress prevention methods and countermeasures should be provided to help reduce work stress and improve mental health.
