다량의 연을 사용하는 제조업 중에서 7개의 축전지 제조업, 3개의 폐전지 제련공장, 그리고 2개의 연분 및 광명단을 제조 또는 사용하는 사업장 총 11개 대상 사업장에서 정기 보건관리시 혈중 Zinc Protoporphyrin 농도를 고려하여 생산직 남자 근로자 234명을 선정, 혈액에서 혈중연, 혈중 ZPP, 혈색소 등을 측정하고 소변에서 ${\delta}$-ALA 배설량을 비색법과 HPLC법으로 분석하여 그 차이점을 확인하고 연노출 지표들과의 관련성을 조사하여 연중독 판정기준의 새로운 기준을 마련하기 위하여 본 연구를 시도한 바 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 비색법과 HPLC법에 의한 요중 ${\delta}$-ALA 배설량은 높은 상관성이 있으나 비색법이 HPLC법 보다 2 mg/L 정도 높게 측정되었다(r = 0.989, 회귀식 ; HALA = - 0.8194 + 0.8110 ${\times}$ CALA) 2. 요중 ${\delta}$-ALA 배설량은 두 방법 모두 혈중연 및 혈중 ZPP 농도와의 상관계수가 각각 0.46, 0.37 이상이었으며, ${\delta}$-ALA 배설량을 대수변환하였을 때는 상관계수가 0.63, 0.57로 높아졌으며 통계적으로도 유의하였다. 3. 혈중 ZPP를 독립변수로, 비색법과 HPLC법에 의한 요중 ${\delta}$-ALA 배설량을 종속변수로 한 단순회귀방정식은 다음과 같다. CALA = 2.0421 + 0.0341 ${\times}$ ZPP $R^2=0.1385$ p = 0.0001 HALA = 0.8006 + 0.0280 ZPP $R^2=0.1389$ p = 0.001 4. 혈중연을 독립변수로, 비색법과 HPLC법에 의한 요중 ${\delta}$-ALA 배설량을 종속변수로 한 단순 회귀 방정식은 다음과 같다. CALA = - 0.4134 + 0.1545 ${\times}$ PbB $R^2=0.2085$ p = 0.0001 HALA = - 1.2893 + 0.1287 ${\times}$ PbB $R^2=0.2154$ p = 0.0001 5. 비색법과 HPLC법에 의한 요중 ${\delta}$-ALA 배설량을 대수변환하였을 때 혈중연 및 혈중 ZPP를 독립변수로 하는 회귀식은 다음과 같다. logHALA = 0.3078 + 0.0060 ${\times}$ ZPP $R^2=0.3329$ p = 0.0001 logCALA = 1.0189 + 0.0044 ${\times}$ ZPP $R^2=0.3290$ p = 0.0001 logHALA = - 0.0221 + 0.0246 ${\times}$ PbB $R^2=0.4046$ p = 0.0001 logCALA = 0.7662 + 0.0184 ${\times}$ PbB $R^2=0.4108$ p = 0.0001 6. 요중 ${\delta}$-ALA 배설량에 대한 연중독 주의한계의 cut-off point를 5 mg/L로 하였을 경우 혈중연과 혈중 ZPP의 주의한계에 대한 비색법의 누적 빈도가 HPLC법 보다 높았으며, 따라서 HPLC법의 cut-off point를 3 mg/L로 하였을 때 비색법과 좋은 일치도를 보였고 연노출지표들과 량-반응 관계를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로 연중독 판정기준의 주의한계와 선별한계의 개정이 필요하나 남자 근로자들만의 연구이므로 여자 근로자에 관한 연구가 추가로 필요하다고 생각된다.

The main purpose of this study was to test the effect of the structured information on the sleep amount of the patients undergoing open heart surgery. This study has specifically addressed to the Following two basic research questions: (1) Would the structed in formation influence in the reduction of sleep disturbance related to anxiety and Physical stress before and after the operation? and (2) that would be the effects of the structured information on the level of preoperative state anxiety, the hormonal change, and the degree of behavioral change in the patients undergoing an open heart surgery? A Quasi-experimental research was designed to answer these questions with one experimental group and one control group. Subjects in both groups were matched as closely as possible to avoid the effect of the differences inherent to the group characteristics, Baseline data were also. collected on both groups for 7 days prior to the experiment and found that subjects in both groups had comparable sleep patterns, trait anxiety, hormonal levels and behavioral level. A structured information as an experimental input was given to the subjects in the experimental group only. Data were collected and compared between the experimental group and the control group on the sleep amount of the consecutive pre and post operative days, on preoperative state anxiety level, and on hormonal and behavioral changes. To test the effectiveness of the structured information, two main hypotheses and three sub-hypotheses were formulated as follows; Main hypothesis 1: Experimental group which received structured information will have more sleep amount than control group without structured information in the night before the open heart surgery. Main hypothesis 2: Experimental group with structured information will have more sleep, amount than control group without structured information during the week following the open heart surgery Sub-hypothesis 1: Experimental group with structured information will be lower in the level of State anxiety than control group without structured information in the night before the open heart surgery. Sub-hypothesis 2 : Experimental group with structured information will have lower hormonal level than control group without stuctured information on the 5th day after the open heart surgery Sub-hypothesis 3: Experimental group with structured information will be lower in the behavioral change level than control group without structured information during the week after the open heart surgery. The research was conducted in a national university hospital in Seoul, Korea. The 53 Subjects who participated in the study were systematically divided into experimental group and control group which was decided by random sampling method. Among 53 subjects, 26 were placed in the experimental group and 27 in the control group. Instruments; (1) Structed information: Structured information as an independent variable was constructed by the researcher on the basis of Roy's adaptation model consisting of physiologic needs, self-concept, role function and interdependence needs as related to the sleep and of operational procedures. (2) Sleep amount measure: Sleep amount as main dependent variable was measured by trained nurses through observation on the basis of the established criteria, such as closed or open eyes, regular or irregular respiration, body movement, posture, responses to the light and question, facial expressions and self report after sleep. (3) State anxiety measure: State Anxiety as a sub-dependent variable was measured by Spi-elberger's STAI Anxiety scale, (4) Hormornal change measure: Hormone as a sub-dependent variable was measured by the cortisol level in plasma. (5) Behavior change measure: Behavior as a sub-dependent variable was measured by the Behavior and Mood Rating Scale by Wyatt. The data were collected over a period of four months, from June to October 1981, after the pretest period of two months. For the analysis of the data and test for the hypotheses, the t-test with mean differences and analysis of covariance was used. The result of the test for instruments show as follows: (1) STAI measurement for trait and state anxiety as analyzed by Cronbachs alpha coefficient analysis for item analysis and reliability showed the reliability level at r= .90 r= .91 respectively. (2) Behavior and Mood Rating Scale measurement was analyzed by means of Principal Component Analysis technique. Seven factors retained were anger, anxiety, hyperactivity, depression, bizarre behavior, suspicious behavior and emotional withdrawal. Cumulative percentage of each factor was 71.3%. The result of the test for hypotheses show as follows; (1) Main hypothesis, was not supported. The experimental group has 282 minutes of sleep as compared to the 255 minutes of sleep by the control group. Thus the sleep amount was higher in experimental group than in control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (2) Main hypothesis 2 was not supported. The mean sleep amount of the experimental group and control group were 297 minutes and 278 minutes respectively Therefore, the experimental group had more sleep amount as compared to the control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. Thus, the main hypothesis 2 was not supported. (3) Sub-hypothesis 1 was not supported. The mean state anxiety of the experimental group and control group were 42.3, 43.9 in scores. Thus, the experimental group had slightly lower state anxiety level than control group, howe-ver, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (4) Sub-hypothesis 2 was not supported. . The mean hormonal level of the experimental group and control group were 338 ㎍ and 440 ㎍ respectively. Thus, the experimental group showed decreased hormonal level than the control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (5) Sub-hypothesis 3 was supported. The mean behavioral level of the experimental group and control group were 29.60 and 32.00 respectively in score. Thus, the experimental group showed lower behavioral change level than the control group. The difference was statistically significant at .05 level. In summary, the structured information did not influence the sleep amount, state anxiety or hormonal level of the subjects undergoing an open heart surgery at a statistically significant level, however, it showed a definite trends in their relationships, not least to mention its significant effect shown on behavioral change level. It can further be speculated that a great degree of individual differences in the variables such as sleep amount, state anxiety and fluctuation in hormonal level may partly be responsible for the statistical insensitivity to the experimentation.
