Purpose: This study was conducted to find out interrelation of health behavior and related variables to provide basic data for an effective health promotion for the taxi-divers. Methods: 293 male taxi-drivers from 2 cities in Korea participated in this study. The data were collected using questionnaires from April 17th to Jun 3rd, 2006, and analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression. Results: There were statistically significant differences according to monthly income, past illness or surgery, current disease or medication, frequency of fright on daily driving (FFDD), driving fatigue, working style, social support in health status; current disease or medication, FFDD, driving fatigue, duty shift, social support in health perception; body mass index (BMI), FFDD, driving fatigue, intention of changing job, social support in health behavior. Social support, health status, health perception, and health behavior were significantly correlated with one another. The multiple regression analysis showed that health perception (17.8%), BMI (6.8%), intention of changing job (5.7%), and driving fatigue (4.2%) explained the 34.5% variance of health behavior. And the 22.6% of variance of health perception was explained by social support (12.2%), health status (6.9%), and duty shift (3.2%). Conclusions: To promote the taxi-drivers' health, nursing intervention strategies unique for them should consider health behavior and affecting factors.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to investigate the relationships between job stress or social support and job satisfaction, and the function of social support, theoretically considered to mediate the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction. Methods: After obtaining informed consent from participants, data were collected from 122 taxi drivers. Gamma was used for testing of the first and second hypotheses. Partial Gamma was used to test the third hypothesis. Patterns of elaboration described by Babbie (1986) were selected for interpretation of the relationship among the three variable analyses. Results: First, a negative relationship was observed between job stress and job satisfaction (Gamma=-.543, p=.001) and a positive relationship was observed between social support and job satisfaction (Gamma=.741, p<.001). Second, when controlling for social support, the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction showed a decrease under conditions of both low and high social support. As for the mediating effect of social support, job stress was found to affect social support and social support was found to affect job satisfaction. Conclusion: The results showed that social support had a mediating effect between job stress and job satisfaction. Therefore, development and implementation of appropriate social support interventions is needed in order to reduce job stress and promote job satisfaction.

Personal NO$_{2}$ expousre and time activity patterns were measured during March, 1991 for 46 taxi drivers in the Seoul area. Badge-type personal samplers were worn for 24 hours by taxidrivers for monitoring personal expousre to NO$_{2}$. A standard respiratory questionnaire was administered and pulmonary function test was performed using a protable spirometry. The mean concentrations of personal NO$_{2}$ expousres of taxi drivers were 0.55ppm. Personal NO$_{2}$ exposures of taxi drivers were seemed to be higher in longer period of driving, smokers, and use of LP gas in homes. Prevalence rate of respiratory symptoms and the level of pulmonary function(FEV$_{1.0}$ and FVC) seemed to be related to higher personal NO$_{2}$ concentrations. It is concluded that persoanl NO$_{2}$ expousres of taxi drivers are probably affected by indoor NO$_{2}$ levels of a tax/and their common activities.

최근 서비스 산업이 발전하면서 고객들이 보다 편하게 택시를 사용하기 위해 콜택시 서비스를 일반적으로 사용하고 있지만, 기업 입장에서 콜 센터를 구축하기 위해서는 막대한 비용이 소비된다. 본 논문은 기존에 사용되는 단말기 방식의 콜 시스템이 아닌 핸드폰을 사용해 콜 센터 구축에 소비되는 비용을 최소화했다. 그리고 CTI(Computer Telephony Integration)를 이용해 택시 콜 센터의 고객관리, 업소관리, 기사관리, 주문관리, 정산관리 등의 업무를 보다 효율적으로 통합 관리 할 수 있는 시스템을 UML(Unified Modeling Language)을 적용해 설계 및 구축했다. CTI를 보다 효과적으로 구현하기 위한 장치로써 현재 상용화 되어 있는 CID(Caller Identify Display)를 이용해 고객의 발신 번호를 PC에서 받아 실시간으로 고객의 정보를 Database에서 검색했다. 이 시스템은 저렴한 비용으로 구축이 가능하고, 효율적인 고객관리 기능으로 고객 서비스를 개선할 수 있다.

Thirteen taxi drivers as the subject in the experiment were exposed to vertical vibration which is controlled on a rigid seat reflecting vibration on passenger vehicle. They were employed not only to get human response of objective measurement but also to make subjective evaluation of the vibration. The subjective evaluation was estimated using the absolute discomfort threshold of the controlled vibration, which was achieved with the three-down one-up method that is widely used in the field of psychophysics. As the result, apparent mass and apparent eccentric mass as objective human response tend to gradually decrease when frequency of the vibration increases. The absolute discomfort threshold was increased in case of increasing the frequency. Concludingly, the subjective discomfort evaluation is highly correlated with the objective human responses at the range of idle vibration on passenger vehicle.

The three-down one-up method which is commonly used in the field of psychophysics is employed in this study that is to reveal how much magnitude of vibration makes discomfort in passenger vehicle on idle condition. Thirteen taxi drivers were invited for subject of the experiment where they evaluated the controlled vibrations on rigid seat in terms of idle vibration on passenger vehicle at frequency range from 15 Hz to 40 Hz. As the result, vibration of 100~105 dB is marginal range to make discomfort on passenger seat. Frequency dependency of the discomfort was found at the frequency range, which is the higher frequency the lower discomfort with the same magnitude of vibration. The frequency dependency found here was compared with ISO 2631-1 that is more sensitive at the frequency range.

The effect of dietary factors on the self-reported symptoms of fatigue were surveyed by the interviewing method among 119 taxi drivers in Cheonan area. It was shown that 86.5% of them were working over 11 hours a day and 34.4% of them over 16 hours. the level of job satisfaction was very low. Many of them felt fatigue during driving. Some symptoms of fatigue which many taxi drives said to be suffered from were headache physical exhaustion nervousness tired and sore eyes and anorexia. When related variables to the self-reported symptoms of fatigue were analyzed daily sleeping hours and exercise were significantly correlated with physical mental and neuro-motor fatigue, Subjects who had meals irregularly were greater than those who had regularly. In addition they tended to eat faster during working and 28.6% of them seldom had breakfast. Subjects who had meals irregularly consumed significantly less fat iron calcium vitamin A, and riboflavin. A and riboflavin and niacin than those who skipped it.

산업재해보상보험법(법률 제4826호) 4조 1항에 의하면 '업무상 재해라 함은 업무상의 사유에 의한 근로자의 부상, 질병, 신체장애 또는 사망을 말한다'로 규정되어 있습니다. 질병을 포함한 재해가 업무상 사유에 의한 것인가의 여부를 판단하는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니며 더욱이 국가의 사회적.경제적 여건에 따라 시대적으로 업무관련성의 범위나 인정기준등 개념이 변화되고 있기 때문에 산업보건분야 관련 종사자들은 관심을 갖고 항시 그 흐름을 파악하는 것이 바람직합니다. 본 란에서는 관계자 분들의 이해를 돕기 위해 근로복지공단에서 발행되는 '산재보험법판례속보'에 게재된 내용을 선별하여 업무상 재해 인정에 관한 최근의 법원 사례를 소개합니다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of long-term taxi driving posture on the balance of musculoskelectal system. Methods : The author practiced Moire topography by using IBS-2000 for 30 male taxi drivers and general people. Then we measured difference of contour lines, difference of shoulder joint height, interval between vertical baseline of pelvis and vertical baseline of neck, ratio of thoracic curve and lumbar curve, difference of width between right and left through Moire topography. After we statistically analyzed difference of Moire topography's data between long-term employed male taxi drivers and general people. Results : 1. Taxi drivers, difference of contour lines in scapular, lumbar, gluteal region was bigger than general people and significant difference(p<0.05) was observed between subject group. 2. Taxi drivers, diference of shoulder joint height was more large than general people and significant difference(p<0.01) was observed between subject group. 3. Taxi drivers, diference of interval between vertical baseline of pelvis and vertical baseline of neck was more large than general people and significant difference((p<0.05) was observed between subject group. 4. Taxi drivers, ratio of thoracic curve was more large than general people and ratio of lumbar curve was more less than general people and significant difference(p<0.05) was observed between subject group. Conclusions : According to above results long-term taxi driving posture might cause musculoskelectal system unbalance.
