Purpose: This study was conducted to identify patterns and trends of studies of SMIs from 1999 to 2004, and to suggest the directions of future research activities. Method: 38 research studies of SMIs were selected and classified according to the sample characteristics, and the types of SMIs and outcome variables. Results: The number of SMIs studies has been increased since 1991, but it was more smaller than descriptive studies. They tended to be conducted more without the conceptual framework or randomization. Nurses were the most popular subjects and GHQ was more prevalent than other instruments. SMIs studies used confusedly in "job stress" terms. The outcome variables, most frequently measured were "anxiety and depression". 46 interventions were conducted in 38 studies. Most of them were individual worker-focused intervention and CBT was most frequently conducted. There were wide variations in duration, and intervals of SMIs. Conclusions: These results of this study will be used to guide the development of SMIs. And it was needed to identify and debate on 'stress' terms among the authors and to develop the SMIs. Also, it will be needed research that evaluate the effect of Job SMIs and experimental studies must be conducted rather than descriptive studies.

Purpose: This quantitative meta analysis sought to determine the effectiveness of SMIs. Method: Forty-six experimental studies with a randomized or nonequivalent control group pre-post test design were included in the analysis. The selected studies were classified according to the sample characteristics, the types and methods of the interventions, and the types of outcome variables. Six intervention types were distinguished: cognitive-behavioral intervention(CBT), relaxation techniques(RT), exercise(EX), multimodal programs 1 and 2(MT1, 2), and organization-focused interventions(OTs). Effect sizes were calculated for the 4 outcome categories across intervention types: psycho-social outcome, behavioral-personal resources, physiologic, and organizational outcome. Results : Individual worker-focused interventions(ITs) were more effective than OTs. A small but significant overall effect was found A moderate effect was found for RT, and small effects were found for other ITs, The effect size for OTs was the smallest. The interventions involving CBT and RT appeared to be the preferred means of reducing worker's psycho-social and organizational outcomes. With regard to physiologic outcomes, RT appeared to be most effective. CBT appeared to be most effective in reducing psycho-social outcomes. The effects of OT were non-significant, except for the psycho-social outcomes. Conclusions: SMIs are effective. Interventions involving RT and CBT are more effective than other types.
