Abstract

This study is a participatory action research conducted to develop a program to prevent musculoskeletal disorders among kitchen workers in a general hospital. This study was conducted from March to December 2018 with 15 kitchen workers, 3 nutritionists, 2 nurses, and 1 physical therapist working at C general hospital located in G city. Based on the conceptual model of participatory practice research, quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed comprehensively. As a result of developing a program for preventing musculoskeletal disorders and applying it 13 times, the satisfaction level was high in the composition, operation time, and expertise of the program, and it was found that they wanted to operate the program continuously in the future. Therefore, based on the results of this study, it is necessary to develop and apply a musculoskeletal disease prevention program that considers the characteristics of the work department and work targeting other workers through participatory action research.

본 연구는 종합병원 내 조리실 종사자들의 근골격계 질환 예방을 위한 프로그램을 개발하고자 수행한 참여적 실행연구이다. 이 연구는 G시 소재 C종합병원에 근무하는 조리실 근로자 15명, 영양사 3명, 간호사 2명, 물리치료사 1명이 참여하였으며 2018년 3월부터 12월까지 이루어졌다. 참여적 실행연구에 대한 개념적 모형을 바탕으로 양적 자료와 질적 자료를 통합적으로 수집하고 분석하였다. 근골격계 질환 예방을 위한 프로그램을 개발하여 총 13회를 적용한 결과, 프로그램의 구성과 운영시간, 전문성 부분에 있어서 만족도가 높게 나타났으며 향후 지속적인 프로그램의 운영을 원하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 향후 다른 근로자들을 대상으로 하여 근무부서와 작업의 특성을 고려한 근골격계 질환 예방 프로그램을 참여적 실행연구를 통해 개발하고 적용할 필요가 있다.
