본 연구에서는 긴장 스트레스를 평가하기 위하여 작업 중에 긴장 조건을 부가하고 행동량, 주관량, 생리량을 계측하여 통계적으로 긴장 상태 유무와 작업 난이도에 따른 변화를 분석하였다. 긴장 스트레스를 유발시키기 위하여 20대 남자 대학생 3D명에게 세 가지 레벨의 트랙킹 작업을 수행하게 하면서 긴장상태를 유발하여 행동량, 주관신고와 생리신호를 측정하였다. 행동량과 주관신고의 결과를 사용하여 본 연구에서 상정된 작업난이도와 긴장조건이 적절한 가를 살펴보고 생리신호를 사용하여 작업난이도와 긴장감을 분석하였다. 난이도가 낮을 때 HRV의 회귀도와 GSR의 평균값은 긴장 조건이 있을 때가 없을 때에 비해서 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났으며 난이도가 높을 때에는 피부온도의 값이 긴장 조건이 있을 때가 없을 때에 비해서 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 또한 긴장 조건이 있는 경우 작업의 난이도가 높을 때에 낮을 때에 비해서 호흡수의 값이 높게 나타났다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 상정한 긴장감은 양호하게 부가되었고 긴장감은 생리신호를 사용하여 측정할 수 있을 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구는 직무 스트레스와 근골격계질환과의 관련성을 알아보기 위하여 단순작업과 반복 작업이 빈번하게 발생하는 전자제품 제조업에 대하여 고용 규모 30인 미만과 300인 이상의 사업장을 구분하여 실시하였다. 연구 대상자 311명은 근골격계질환 관련 자각증상과 한국인 직무 스트레스(KOSS)에 대해 설문 조사 방법을 이용하여 분석하였으며, 그 결과 한국인 직무스트레스(KOSS)영역에서 30인 이하의 사업장이 물리적환경, 직무요구, 직무자율성결여, 직무불안정, 조직체계, 보상부적절, 직장문화의 영역에서 불만족도가 300인 이상사업장에 비하여 스트레스가 높게 나타났다. 근골격계질환 관련 신체 부위별 증상자를 살펴보면 신체부위 목, 허리에 대한 증상 호소자가 가장 많은 것으로 나타났으며, 근로자들이 근무중 회사와의 갈등으로 격는 한국인 직무스트레스(KOSS)에서는 물리적환경, 직무요구, 직무자율성결여, 직무불안정, 조직체계, 보상부적절, 직장문화에 대하여 30인 미만 사업장 소속 근로자들의 스트 레스 노출정도가 높았다. 다만 KOSS부분에서 근로자들의 개인적인 성향을 나타내는 관계갈등부분은 약간의 차이로 300인 이상 고용사업장의 근로자에 대한 스트레스 노 출정도가 높았다. 이에 30인 미만 사업장과 같은 영세업종 근로자들에게 정신사회적 스트레스의 해소를 위한 예방 프로그램이 마련되어야 할 것이다.

The production of cultured coho salmon (Oncorhpchus kisutoh) in Korea has being increased year after year. Smolt being reared in freshwater suffer transferring into seawater and are farmed in cages for fattening. This handling processes including transportation, confinement into cages are unavoidable stress to fish in salmon farming and often end up to mass mortality, This study aimed to investigate the impact of handling process on the stress responses of coho salmon. The indicator of stress was measured by cortisol to be a first response, and for the second response test, glucose, triBlyceride, cholesterol, lactate and electrolyte of $K^+, Na^+, Cl^-$ in serum and the activities of alanine aminotrtnferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were analyzed. As a result, the concentration of cortisol, glucose as well as LDH activity were significantly increased, whereas others showed no difference comparing with control group. It obviously demonstrated that handling process made fish stressful.

Objectives: This study was performed to examine the characteristic cardiovascular response patterns associated with the imagination and discussion of anger-provoked events in patients with hwa-byung. Methods: Forty-three female patients with hwa-byung were evaluated with the Korean version of the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety, Beck Depression Inventory, and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression just before the task. Subjective Units of Distress (SUDS) and Vividness of the event (VIVID) during the imagination and discussion of the event were evaluated immediately after tasks. Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) during baseline, rest, and tasks were also evaluated. Results: Both startle and recovery responses of BP, startle response of HR, SUDS, and VIVID in discussion task were significantly larger than in the imagination task. Conclusion: Results suggest that it is undesirable for the patients to excessively and repeatedly recall and talk about the anger events.

Objectives: The psychophysiologic response pattern between healthy subjects and patients with generalized anxiety disorder, and the relationship among anxiety rating scales and those patterns in patients were examined. Methods: Twenty-three patients with generalized anxiety disorder(AD) and 23 healthy subjects were evaluated by Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety(HRSA) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory before baseline stressful tasks. Subjective Units of Distress were evaluated just before baseline period, immediately after stressful tasks, at the end of the entire procedure, and psychophysiologic measures, i.e., skin temperature(ST), electromyographic activity(EMG), heart rate(HR), electrodermal response(EDR) during baseline & rest and during two psychologically stressful tasks (mental arithmetic, TM; talk about a stressful event, TT) were also evaluated. Results: 1) AD group showed significantly higher EMG level during rest after stressful tasks and higher HR level during all period except TM compared to control group. 2) AD group showed lower change in the startle response(SR) of ST, in the SR & the recovery response(RR) of EMG during TM, and in the RR of EDR immediately after TM than control group. AD group showed that the RR of EDR was significantly lower than the SR during stressful tasks. 3) We found that there was significantly negative correlation between state anxiety and the RR of EDR after TT in AD group. We also found that there were significantly positive correlations between HRSA score and the SRs of EDR during stressful tasks, and between state anxiety and the SR of EDR during TT. Conclusion: Our results suggest that patients with generalized anxiety disorder show higher autonomic arousal than healthy subjects and decreased physiologic flexibility or reduced autonomic flexibility.

효과적인 조직운영을 위한 직무스트레스의 관리는 무엇보다 조직구성원이 지각하고 있는 직무스트레스 유발요인이 무엇인지를 파악하고, 직무로 발생하는 스트레스의 역기능을 최소화하거나 스트레스 요인을 제거함으로써 조직 효과성을 제고시킬 수 있는 연구가 필요하다. 연구의 결과 소방공무원의 직무스트레스에 대해 영향요인은 심리적 환경이 가장 영향력 있는 변수이며, 그 다음으로는 작업환경, 조직문화, 신체적 환경 순으로 나타났으며 행정업무와 인간관계는 통계적으로 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between sociodemographic characteristics and attitude of job for occupational therapist. Method : Among 125 occupational therapists who voluntarily responded on structured survey final subject of study is total 123 persons except two occupational therapists who did not respond completely. Result : Attitude of Job was significantly different according to employment status and hospital types, and job stress was significantly different according to employment status and job directivity was significantly different according to hosipital types. Also, for correlation of job attitude, job satisfaction was high as higher job stability, lower job stress, and higher job directivity. Conclusion : To improve attitude of job, employment status should be regularized and the education and improvement of labor conditions are necessary to improve attitude of job and job directivity.

Objective : The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of rehabilitation therapists' general characteristics and job involvement on stress. The subjects of this study were occupational therapists and physical therapists working for long-term hospitals and general hospitals located in K and B cities, South Korea. Methods : The study investigated general characteristics, job stress, and job involvement by using questionnaires. Analysis conducted on total 144 questionnaires excluding 19 questionnaires, which did not satisfy the subject selection criteria. Results : The results show that job involvement had significantly positive correlations with job requirement, job autonomy, relationship conflicts, organization system, inappropriate compensation, job instability, and workplace culture. Secondly, marital status, wage level, and job engagement explained 46.6% of variations in job stress. Conclusion : The study was meaningful in examining the variables influencing the job stress of rehabilitation therapists. We expect that it can be used for improving the job environment of rehabilitation therapists.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of the sensory processing characteristics of parents of developmentally delayed children and parents of typically developed children on parenting stress. Methods : From July to August 2022, 61 parents of children with developmental delays and 64 parents of children with typical development who used occupational therapy services at pediatric clinics and child development centers were evaluated for parenting stress and sensory profiles. Results : In a multiple regression analysis on the effect of sensory processing characteristics on the total score of parenting stress, tactile processing (β = 0.353, p = 0.001), gender (β = 0.438, p = 0.000), and monthly income (β = -0.261, p = 0.014) significantly affected the parenting stress of the parents of children with developmental delay. In parents of typically developing children, tactile processing (β = 0.376, p = 0.002) and gender (β = -0.264, p = 0.024) were found to have a significant effect on parenting stress. Conclusion : Parental gender and tactile processing characteristics of developmentally delayed and typically developing children are significant influencing factors for parenting stress.
