A number of recent studies have shown that occupational stress is closely associated with increased fatigue and decreased job satisfaction. This study was designed to assess stress in workers in the field of EIA (environment impact assessment) from July 2009 through september 2009, and questionnaires were uesd to analyze the stress scores and identify the primary factors influencing stress in this occupation. The number of respondents was 272 working in the Capital (Seoul and Kyunggido), Chungcheongdo, Jejudo area. A structured questionnaire was used to evaluate the participants' socio-demographics, job-related factors, health-related behaviors, occupational stress, reaction factor (self-perceived fatigue, job satisfaction) and buffer factor (social support). Occupational stress and self-perceived fatigue were assessed using the Korean Occupational Stress Scale-Short Form (KOSS-SF) and the Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (MFS), respectively. The analysis revealed a strong correlation between occupational stress, job satisfaction, and social support, with occupational stress being associated with an increased risk of fatigue and decreased job satisfaction. In the multiple regression analysis(stepwise), the main factors influencing occupational stress were found to be job satisfaction, supervisor, fatigue, working time, no. of personnel, career. The results of this study suggest that occupational stress is a determinant predictor of self perceived fatigue and job satisfaction. Thus, a strong recommendation is made for a stress management program for reduction of occupational stress, and for the development of relevant experts on the health and quality of life of environment impact assessment workers.

본 연구는 소방공무원들을 대상으로 직무스트레스, 피로수준을 파악하고 우리나라 근로자의 평균 직무스트레스 수준과 비교하며 직무스트레스의 하부영역요인과 중재요인(사회적 지원, 직무만족) 및 반응요인(피로)과의 관련성을 파악함으로써 소방공무원의 원활한 업무수행을 위한 기초 안을 수립하고자 시도되었다. 연구대상자는 소방보수교육에 참여한 소방공무원 408명을 대상으로 2011년8월부터 2011년 10월까지 설문조사를 통하여 실시하였으며 설문조사 내용에는 응답자의 일반적 특성, 직무스트레스(KOSS-SF), 중재요인, 반응요인(피로(MFS)) 등에 대하여 평가를 실시하였다. 분석결과 직무만족은 직무스트레스와 강력한 음의 상관관계를 보이며 피로와는 양의 상관관계를 보였으며 다중회귀 분석 결과 직무만족, 성, 나이, 하루 처리건수, 운동 등이 주요 변수인 것으로 나타났다. 소방공무원의 직무스트레스에 영향을 미치는 주요변수를 조절변수로 하여 로지스틱 회귀 분석결과 직무스트레스가 높은 부류에서 고위험 피로군에 속할 가능성이 15%정도 감소되는 것으로 나타나 소방공무원의 직무스트레스 감소와 건강 증진을 위한 직무만족 향상 프로그램이 반드시 필요하다고 사료된다.

Musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) problems have been increasingly reported in hospital sector but the problems were not addressed with respect to holistic aspects of the target population in Korea. Often, it is required to understand how MSD symptoms are associated with factors such as personal, work environmental and psychosocial stressors. To examine features of association between sets of MSD symptoms and the factors, a questionnaire survey was conducted in a university hospital. A 140-item questionnaire was developed and used for collecting information including factors (e.g., job/occupation, task/activity, job stress) and MSD symptoms. A total of 1,091 workers (male 23.7% and female 76.3%) were finally determined for data analyses. Prevalence rate for the whole body was 72% and, among body parts, the highest was 48.7% for the shoulder, followed by 34.6%(the low back), 32.7%(the leg/foot), 27.9%(the neck), 26.7%(the wrist) and 12%(the elbow). The symptoms were significantly different by job/occupational variable in each of all body parts except the neck. The symptoms were very significantly different by task/activity variables in each of all body parts while those symptoms were significantly different by psychosocial variables, depending on body part and gender. In the logistic regression analyses performed for MSD symptoms by body part and each of 3 factors, odds ratio values varied, ranging from 0.7 to 3.3. The controls for reducing the symptoms were discussed on the basis of the findings. The results show that the MSD symptoms can remarkably vary by the factors and, in particular, can be highly differential for the task/activity factor. This study suggests that MSD symptom features be examined by using various factors and then a higher differential factor be primarily utilized for controling MSD symptoms in general industry including hospital settings.
