Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the cause of turtle neck syndrome that occurs in a pharmacists and the relationship between the height and table height and to suggest a table height appropriate for height. By conducting correlation and regression analysis of the turtle neck index, NDI, and VAS. As a result of calculating, the relationship between the pharmacist's height and table height, which is good for preventing turtle neck, is less than about 65cm, and it was proven that the height of the table is a major factor in causing or worsening turtle neck syndrome. It is believed that further follow-up research is needed to determine whether the calculated through this paper is effective and can be applied to other occupational groups.

본 연구는 약사라는 특정 직업군에게서 발생하는 거북목 증후군의 원인을 약사의 신장-탁상높이와 연관성을 규명하고 신장에 적합한 테이블 높이를 제언하기 위해 진행하였다. 약사의 신장-탁상높이에 따른 거북목지수, NDI, VAS 상관분석 및 회귀분석을 진행하여'신장-테이블 높이에 따른 예상 거북목 지수'를 회귀분석을 통해 식을 만들었으며 식을 통해 결과 값을 산출한 결과, 거북목 예방에 좋은 약사의 신장과 테이블 높이의 관계는 약 65cm 이하임을 산출하였고 약사의 신장과 탁상높이의 차이가 약사의 거북목 증후군 발생 또는 악화시키는 주요 요인임이 입증되었다. 향후 약사의 신장-탁상높이의 차이가 65cm 이하와 그 이상의 비교/대조군 실험을 통해 본 논문을 통해 산출된 식이 거북목 예방에 효과가 있는지, 다른 직업군에도 적용할 수 있는지에 대한 후속 연구가 더 필요하다고 생각한다.
