This study was performed to improve the working conditions of female nurses by comparing their organizational commitment and turnover intention according to the type of work shift they prefer. This study is a descriptive survey study, and data were collected by conducting an online survey of 465 female nurses working in three shifts at seven medical institutions. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 24.0 in a χ² test, a two-sample independent t-test, a pearson correlation and MANCOVA. The result shows that the group of nurses preferring fixed work shift had higher organizational commitment at higher ages and had higher turnover intention if they had an experience of transferring to another medical institution. The study also found that the group that prefers fixed work shift had lower organizational commitment and higher turnover intention than the group of nurses preferring shift work. The nursing department in hospital should strive to improve the working environment in female nurses by developing various types of work, with an aim to increase the organizational commitment of female nurses preferring fixed work and reduce their turnover.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate and analyze the association between stress from shift and non-shift work as well as the effects living habits have on eating habits in order to identify why and how workers can improve their health and form proper eating habits for higher working efficiency. Methods: The subjects of this study were 361 workers from K manufacturing company from April 7 to 11, 2014 and they were surveyed using a questionnaire. The subjects were divided into two groups according to working pattern: shift workers (n = 216) and non-shift workers (n = 110). Results: In the general characteristics, there were significant differences in age, work career, work time, marriage, monthly income, and education levels between the two groups. For healthy behaviors, significant differences in subjective health status, moderate physical activity, drinking, smoking, and sleep time were observed between shift workers and non-shift workers. For eating habits, scores of non-shift workers having a regular mealtime, balanced meal composition, and vegetable and seaweed intakes were significantly higher than those of shift workers. The sum score of dietary habits in non-shift workers was also significantly lower than that in shift workers (p < 0.05). Total job stress score did not significantly differ between the two groups. Conclusion: The sum of eating habit scores according to work types was $16.1{\pm}0.6$ in non-shift workers and $14.0{\pm}0.3$ in shift workers. These results suggest that it is necessary to provide food suitable to characteristics of different workers according to work type which should be provided along with daily nutrition counseling to help subjects recognize their status.

There were differences in regular breakfast and snack consumption according to the degree of disability. Massage therapists with shorter length of work more smoked and less consumed breakfast than massage therapists with longer length of work. Lastly, massage therapists who are working at massage parlor were more smoked and less regularly slept, consumed breakfast, and regularly rested than massage therapists who are working in other places.

구급의 발전에 있어서 여성구급대원의 역할이 크다. 여성구급대원의 근무환경과 스트레스 경감을 위하여 대화를 통한 소통이 필요할 것이다. 여성이라는 이유만으로 불평등한 근무형태와 남자와 같은 근무조건을 강요한다는 것은 후진국의 형태이다. 경상북도 여성구급대원의 스트레스에 관한 내용은 시간이 지나면 개선이 되고 바뀌어 갈 것이다. 앞으로 여성구급대원의 역할 또한 더 중요해지고 강조되어 질 것으로 생각하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다.

In this study changes in biorhythm are observed by measuring heart rate variabilities in order to verify, compare, and evaluate stresses in guard duties of guards and CCTV monitoring works of staffs serviced in practical guard sites. Guard duties and CCTV monitoring works similar to a practical situation are implemented for nine students in the department of security at K University over 150 minutes. In the results of observing heart rate variabilities and autonomic function tests for six times with an interval of 30 minutes, the heart rate variability (HRV) in CCTV monitoring works represents lower levels than that of guard duties. Also, in a stable condition the guard duties for 30 and 60 minutes exhibit lower levels than that of 90, 120, and 150 minutes. Regarding SDNN, CCTV monitoring works show higher levels that guard duties and the guard duties for 30 and 60 minutes represent lower levels than that of 150 minutes. In autonomic function tests, there are no differences in TP between groups according to guard duties and CCTV monitoring works. Also, the guard duties for 150 minutes represent more differences in TP compared to that of 30 minutes. The interaction between the duty type and the duty duration is presented. In the case of LF, guard duties for 150 minutes show large differences in duty duration compared to that of 60 minutes. In the case of HF, the CCTV monitoring work group shows higher levels than the guard duty group in which the guard duties for 120 and 150 minutes represent higher levels than that of 30 minutes. The interaction between the duty type and the duty duration is presented. In the case of the LF/HF ratio, the guard duty group exhibits higher levels than the CCTV monitoring group. Also, there is an interaction between the duty type and the duty duration including the difference in durations. The CCTV monitoring works represent lower heart function activities than the guard duties according to increases in parasympathetic nervous activities. It shows that the long-term CCTV monitoring duty repeated everyday shows a high possibility of increasing the exposures of VDT syndrome and nervous breakdown.

의료서비스산업은 인구 고령화, 소득 증대, 건강보험의 보장성 강화 등으로 시장이 급속히 확대되는 추세이다. 의료서비스산업의 대다수를 차지하는 것은 병원으로, 병원은 의사, 의료기사, 간호사, 행정직 등 전문적이고 다양한 직종의 종사자들의 협동작업을 통해 환자들에게 의료서비스를 제공하는 조직이다. 간호사는 많은 직무를 담당하고 있는 다양한 전문 인력 중에서 병원인력의 40%를 차지하고 있으며, 환자에게 제공되는 대부분의 서비스인 치료와 간호업무를 담당하고 있다. 병원인력의 다수를 차지하고 있는 간호사의 잦은 이직과 낮은 생산성은 환자의 치료와 간호업무에 지장을 줄 수 있는데, 소진과 직무스트레스가 간호사의 이직과 생산성에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 간호사의 일반적 특성에 따른 소진과 직무스트레스의 차이를 연구하여, 간호사 개인 맞춤별 내부마케팅 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 간호사의 일반적 특성에 따른 소진과 직무스트레스의 차이는 첫째, 소진에 차이가 있는 일반적 특성으로는 연령, 결혼, 근무형태, 직위, 간호사 경력, 근무처, 병상 수로 나타났으며, 둘째, 직무스트레스에 차이가 있는 일반적 특성으로는 연령, 학력, 결혼, 근무형태, 간호사 경력, 근무처, 병상 수로 나타났다.
