현대 도시인들의 삶의 형태에 대한 최근의 연구들에 의하면 도시인들은 주택이나 아파트, 작업장, 근무지, 사무실, 식당, 상점 및 공공건물 등과 같은 각종 실내에서 그들 삶의 대부분의 시간 (약 90％)을 보내고 있다 (Lee and Cho, 2002). 그럼에도 불구하고 아직 많은 나라에서 실내공간에서 머무르는 긴 시간에 비하여 실내 공기질에 대한 관심과 개선 노력은 상대적으로 미약한 실정이다. 특히, 생활수준의 향상으로 실내에서의 다양한 활동, 요리, 도장, 새로운 건축자재 및 생활용품 등에서 여러 종류의 오염물질이 방출될 수 있고, 차량이나 산업활동 등에서 배출된 여러 오염물질이 외부에서 실내로 유입되어 실내 오염물질의 농도를 높이기도 한다.

The present study aims to determine the effect of the prevention exercise program of musculoskeletal disorders developed for apple and pear farmers. To achieve this goal, 25 farmers who have subjective symptoms in the musculoskeletal system (Criteria 1 in the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) have conducted the prevention exercise program for 12 weeks from April 7, 2011 to July 1, 2011. As a result, the prevention exercise program of the musculoskeletal disorders for farmers in the fruit growing industry have improved physical capability of them (upper extremity endurance, lower extremity endurance, balance and agility) as well as a quality of life effectively. In addition, a quality of life showed a significant correlation with Oswestry Disability Index, and Psychosocial Well-being Index. For the future study, various studies are expected to develop and apply exercise programs in consideration of the characteristics of farming work.

In this study, 46 patients from a local hemodialysis center were enrolled to assess the effects of a self-motivated virtual reality (VR) exercise program on the heart rate variability and quality of life control in hemodialysis patients. The VR group (n = 23) completed a VR exercise program, where the subjects performed the exercise 40 min per session, 3 sessions per week, for 8weeks. After the exercise program, the heart rate variability and quality of life were measured. The VR group showed significant improvement in the heart rate variability and quality of life. The self-motivated VR exercise program provided both the role of supervisor as well as feedback, which is important for hemodialysis patients.Therefore, a self-motivated VR exercise program may be a useful tool for improving the psychosocial function in chronic disease patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships among health related quality of life and uncertainty in adult patients with congenital heart diseases. Methods: The subjects were 136 adult congenital heart disease patients at the congenital heart center out-patient clinic of the A General Hospital in S city. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression. Results: There were significant negative correlations of quality of life with general motor function area and uncertainty. Among predictors, gross motor(${\beta}=-.38$) and daily activity (${\beta}=-.21$) had statistically significant influences on uncertainty(F=6.15, p=.018). Conclusion: Nursing interventions to promote gross motor and daily activity might be essential for adult patients with congenital heart disease in order to reduce uncertainty.

This study conducted a survey from September 5 to 30, 2020 targeting 415 workers participating in regional self-sufficiency center programs in four locations in Daejeon and Daegu. The purpose of the study was to examine oral symptoms of the study subjects and the effects if psychological anxiety parameters on oral health and quality of life. As a result of the study, oral dryness, temporomandibular joint symptoms, and periodontitis all had a significant effect on oral health and quality of life, and psychological anxiety factors had a partial mediating effect. The subjective oral symptom problems led to a negative psychological state, which could further impair the quality of life.

현대인은 대부분 시간을 보내는 노동 환경에 의해 영향을 받는다. 이에 따른 정신적, 신체적 질환은 개인의 건강 문제를 넘어 삶의 질과 연결되며, 결국 사회문제로 귀결된다. 대한민국은 여전히 '산재 공화국'이라는 오명에서 벗어나지 못하고 있는 듯 보이지만, 분명한 것은 끊임없는 성토와 연구를 통해 꾸준히 개선되고 있다는 점이다. 그 중심에서 근로자들과 함께 더 나은 사회를 만들기 위해 노력하는 곳, 한양대학교 의과대학 직업환경의학교실이다.

Background: This study aims to investigate the effect of restrictions on oral health-related activities of young adults, middle-aged, and elderly in Korea on the quality of life and contribute to the development of intervention strategies to improve the quality of life by improving the importance of oral health care and healthy lifestyle habits of adults. Methods: The 8th National Health and Nutrition Survey was used, targeting adults categorized into three age groups: young adults aged 19 to 29, middle-aged adults aged 30 to 49, and prime-aged adults aged 50 to 64. Demographic characteristics and EQ-5D, HINT-8 and oral-related toothache experience, chewing problems, speaking problems, and complaint of discomfort to chew analyzed. T-test and one-way ANOVA were performed to find out the difference in quality of life according to the restrictions on oral activities of adults, and linear regression analysis was performed to investigate the factors affecting the quality of life of adults. Results: The differences between EQ-5D and HINT-8 according to the restrictions on oral health-related activities of young, middle-aged, and prime-aged were statistically significant in all oral activity restriction variables(p ≦0.05). Factors affecting EQ-5D of all adults were statistically significant in all variables such as region, gender, household monthly income, education level, basic living status, economic activity, subjective oral health status, toothache experience, chewing problem, speaking problem, and complaint of discomfort to chew(p ≦0.05). Factors affecting HINT-8 of all adults were statistically significant in variables such as gender, household monthly income, education level, basic living status, economic activity, toothache experience, chewing, speaking, and complaint of discomfort to chew(p ≦0.05). Conclusions: Various measures are needed to improve the quality of life in old age by allowing adults to face physically, mentally, and socially prepared old age. Based on the results of this study, an adult oral health program should be developed to improve the oral health and quality of life of adults.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the effect of increased physical activity (PA) regarding health-related quality of life (QOL) and nutrition intake in hemodialysis patients. Methods: The research was quasi-experimental using pre-test and posttest design. The participants were 60 patients, 30 each in the experimental and control group. The program was up to eight weeks long and involved two kinds of aerobic exercises: intradialytic aerobic exercise to be performed thrice a week and walking for up to seven days a week. The 60 patients undergoing hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease underwent assessment of International Physical Activity Questionnaires (IPAQ), 24-hour diet recall and a 12-item short-form health survey (SF-12; physical component summary score(PCS) and mental component summary score(MCS)) before and after the exercise program. Nutrition intake was assessed using CAN-2.0. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, 𝑥2 test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: In the experimental group, PA post-test scores were also significantly higher than the pre-test scores and the levels of physical component summary score (PCS) in QOL were significantly improved post-test, but the scores on nutrient intake did not improve. The levels of PCS were significant correlations animal protein, manganese, selenium, and Vitamin C. Although there was no group effect, total calorie of nutrition intake was higher than the comparison group. Conclusion: Combined intradialytic exercise and walking was found to be effective on PA, and PCS in QOL. Therefore, the findings of the current study may provide an appropriate guidance for encouraging exercise by hemodialysis patient.
