Background: In recent years, the interest in health and safety in the workplace has increased. Agriculture is one of the human work activities with the highest risk indexes. Studies on risk perception of agricultural workers are often referred to as specific risk factors (especially pesticides), but the risk perception plays an important role in preventing every kind of accident and occupational disease. Methods: The aim of this research is to test a new method for understanding the relation between risk perception among farmers and the main risk factors to which they are exposed. A secondary aim is to investigate the influence of training in risk perception in agriculture. The data collection was realized using a questionnaire designed to investigate the risk perception; the questionnaire was given to a sample of 119 agricultural workers in central Italy. Through the use of the "principal components analysis" it was possible to highlight and verify the latent dimensions underlying the collected data in comparison with scales of attitudes. Results: Results show that the highest percentage of strong negative attitude is among the people who have worked for more years, while farmers who have worked for fewer years have a marked positive attitude. Conclusion: The analysis of the questionnaires through the synthetic index method (Rizzi index) showed that agricultural workers involved, in particular the elderly workers, have a negative attitude towards safety; workers are hostile to safety measures if they have not attended special training courses.

본 연구는 한국과 일본의 노인입소시설 케어워커를 대상으로 노인에 대한 태도 및 치매지식이 치매에 대한 태도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 실증적으로 검증하였으며 나아가 치매에 대한 태도를 결정하는 요인에 있어 한일 간에 차이가 있는지 비교 분석 하였다. 조사는 한국의 케어워커 320명, 일본의 케어워커 350명을 대상으로 하였으며 설문지를 활용한 우편조사방법으로 이루어졌다. 자료 분석에는 t-test, 다중회귀분석을 활용하였으며 이에 따른 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저, 한일 간에 노인에 대한 태도 및 치매지식, 치매에 대한 태도를 비교한 결과 치매지식에서는 유의미한 차이가 없었으나 치매에 대한 태도와 노인에 대한 태도는 한국에 비해 일본의 케어워커가 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 치매에 대한 태도에 상대적으로 영향력이 큰 변인을 살펴보면 한국은 치매지식(β=.305 p<0.001), 일본은 노인에 대한 태도(β=.348 p<0.001)라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 노인에 대한 태도와 치매지식은 한일 양국에서 공통적으로 치매에 대한 태도에 영향을 미치는 변인으로 나타났다.

Purpose: The research were conducted to identify the knowledge, attitude and the preventive behaviour of noise according to noise-induced hearing loss prevention education and to provide primary data for effective noise-induced hearing loss prevention education for noise-exposed workers. Method: 104 noise-exposed workers were included in this study. The instrument used in this study was knowledge, attitude and preventive behavior of noise tool by Lee & Lee(1996). The first data were collected before the noise education from August to September, 2002. During 6 months, the education was provided, and then the second data were collected from April to May, 2003. Data were analyzed by SPSS 10.0 win program for finding frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, and ANOVA. Results: The results of this study were as follows: There were statistically significant differences of knowledge and attitude of noise related education level, and adhesion quality of wearing ear protection equipment after noise education. Also, otitis media's history, received education of the personal protective devices for the hearing conservation was significant in the preventive behaviour of noise. Conclusion: In conclusion, the noise-induced hearing loss prevention education was effective in changing the knowledge, attitude and the prevention behaviour of noise. Therefore, the noise-induced hearing loss prevention education is strongly recommended for noise-exposed workers and it will be necessary repeated education for changing prevention behaviour of noise.

본 연구는 근로자들의 구강보건 지식, 태도, 행위와 구강 자각증상 및 구강건강관련 삶의 질(OHIP-14)을 조사하고 구강건강관련 삶의 질 향상에 영향을 미치는 요인과 영향관계를 파악함으로써, 근로자 구강건강증진사업을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 편의표본추출법을 적용하여 서울, 경기, 인천지역에서 근무하는 근로자 398명을 대상으로 2013년 3월 26일부터 4월 30일까지 자기기입식에 의한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 구강보건지식, 태도, 행위 및 구강자각증상이 구강건강관련 삶의 질의 수준에 미치는 영향력과 이들 변수의 영향관계를 분석하기 위하여 경로분석을 실시한 결과 OHIP-14에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강자각증상이었고, 구강보건행위는 간접효과가 있었다. 구강자각증상에 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강보건행위였고, 구강보건지식과 태도는 간접적인 영향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 구강보건행위에 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강보건지식 및 태도였고, 구강보건지식은 태도에 영향을 미쳤다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 근로자의 구강건강관련 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해서는 우선적으로 구강자각증상을 줄이기 위한 방안을 마련해야 하며, 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 대해 간접효과가 확인된 구강보건행위를 향상시키기 위한 노력이 필요하다. 따라서 근로자의 구강자각증상을 줄이기 위한 구강검진 및 진료사업과 구강보건행위 향상을 위한 구강보건교육사업이 포함된 근로자 구강건강증진사업을 개발하여 적용할 필요가 있다고 생각된다.

Background: The objective was to assess the knowledge level, attitude, and practice of health care workers towards standard precautions, and to identify the related factors. Furthermore, it was attempted to identify the proportion of having the experience of needle stick injuries (NSIs) and associated factors among participants. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a teaching hospital among 233 health workers using a self-administrated questionnaire. The questionnaire included eight knowledge items, seven practice items, and five attitude items. Based on the mean score of each category, responses were grouped into "satisfactory" and "unsatisfactory". Univariate, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were done. Results: The mean age of the participants 32.95 (SD ± 9.70) and 62.2% of them were women. 57.5% of the staff had a satisfactory level of correct knowledge (>5 correct answers), 37.3% had a satisfactory positive attitude (>3 correct answers), and 30.9% had a satisfactory practice (>3 correct answers) towards standard precautions. The occupation was one of the predictors as doctors were less likely to have satisfactory knowledge and practice compared to nurses (OR = 0.269, 95% CI: 0.10-0.70 and OR = 0.248, 95% CI: 0.08-0.77, respectively). Out of 174 participants, 31.6% of them reported experiencing NSIs and support staff were 71% less likely to experience NSIs compared to nurses & paramedics. Conclusion: The findings revealed a substandard adherence of standard precautions among participants, which highlighted the necessity of the provision of a periodic, tailored training program based on the occupation and risk exposure.

본 논문의 목적은 중소 IT기업 S/W 개발자의 생산성을 높이기 위하여 어떤 요소들이 직무몰입에 긍정 또는 부정적 영향을 미치는가를 분석하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 개발자의 직무능력을 중요한 선행변수로 보고 있다. 그리고 역할갈등과 태도가 직무몰입을 가져오는 중요한 매개 작용을 한다는 가설에서 출발하였다. 실증자료를 통한 경로 분석 결과, 직무능력 변수들이 매개변수인 역할갈등과 태도에 영향을 미치며, 이들이 직무몰입에 직, 간접적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 중요한 발견은 업무지식이 높을수록 역할갈등은 낮게 나타났으며, 업무기술력이 높은 인력일수록 역할갈등이 더 높게 나타났다. 이는 중소 IT기업의 경우 조직 내에서 직무기술력이 우수할수록 많은 기대와 일을 시키는 것에서 기인되었다고 보아진다. 결국, IT 개발자의 업무지식을 높이고 직무에 대하여 좋은 태도를 형성하여야 직무몰입을 높일 수 있다.

It requires to make the safety education not a merely formal education but as a practical one for the factor of safety on the industrial environment. We surveyed the workers who are working for a power plant-related small and medium sized businesses around Incheon about the necessity of safety education to improve the safety awareness for themselves. The answered workers for the survey are numbered 198, and we can analyzed those questionnaires by using SEM(Structural Equation Modeling). We ran the analysis by the tool of statistics, AMOS19.0. We examined the basic hypothesis that self-efficacy, safety education, and perceived safety influenced on the will for the safety on the job through the attitude of safety on the work as a parametric cause. We can derive a result that self-efficacy and education about safety makes an effect not only on the will for the safety directly, but also through the attitude and perceived safety. Perceived safety does not influenced on the attitude of safety on the work. Education, attitude, and perceived safety show positive influential factors, but self-efficacy represents negative effect directly on the will for the safety. Safety eduction makes more positive effect on the attitude and perception of the safety, and it shows the necessity for the reinforcement.
