Objectives: The present study was intended to assess the mental health of nurses working for university hospitals and to establish which factors determine their mental health. Methods: Self-administered questionnaires were given to 1,486 nurses employed in six participating hospitals located in Daejeon City and Chungnam Province between July 1 st and August 31st, 2006. The questionnaire items included sociodemographic, job-related, and psychosocial factors, with job stress factors (JCQ) as independent variables and indices of mental health status (PWI, SDS and MFS) as dependent variables. For statistical analysis, the Chi-square test was used for categorical variables, with hierarchical multiple regression used for determining the factors effecting mental health. The influence of psychosocial and job-related factors on mental health status was assessed by covariance structure analysis. The statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results: The factors influencing mental health status among subject nurses included sociodemographic characteristics such as age, number of hours of sleep, number of hours of leisure, and subjective health status; job-related characteristics such as status, job satisfaction, job suitability, stresses such as demands of the job, autonomy, and coworker support; and psychosocial factors such as self-esteem, locus of control and type A behavior patterns. Psychosocial factors had the greatest impact on mental health. Covariance structure analysis determined that psychosocial factors affected job stress levels and mental health status, and that the lower job stress levels were associated with better mental health. Conclusions: Based on the study results, improvement of mental health status among nurses requires the development and application of programs to manage job stress factors and/or psychosocial factors as well as sociodemographic and job-related characteristics.

One of the major requirements in preventing Work-related MusculoSkeletal Disorders(WMSDs) is to know definitely what vigorous exertion requirements are contained in a job. This requires improved job analysis tools which can accurately evaluate potentially harmful stresses to the musculoskeletal system. But to simply evaluate the level of stress at a joint, or in a muscle is not enough to motivate job changes. Therefore, the development of ergonomic evaluation tools for the jobs are important to ergonomics. The main objective is compared of the results that made by the ergonomic evaluation tools (e.g., BRIEF and RULA) in actually shoes manufacturing. These were developed in the foreign. So, it is priory needed to research of the ergonomics about Korean characteristic work by physiology and biomechanics.

Stress affects the type of adaptation required for each case and the type of social support is also different. In order for social support to have a buffer effect on stress, we want to understand how to measure social support and support according to specific stress situations. Therefore, this study examines coping behaviors of community service workers exposed to these job stresses and examines the effect of support system (family support, peer support, superior support) on coping behavior. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of stress, coping resources and coping behaviors of community service workers. In this study, self - report method was used to investigate the questionnaire using structured questionnaires. In this study, the statistical program was used for data analysis and hierarchical regression analysis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of job stress, depression and fatigue on sleep quality of care workers employed in long-term care facilities. Methods: The participants were 213 care workers who worked in 11 long-term care facilities. The collected data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression with using the SPSS 23.0 program. Results: We found that patient-related job stress was the greatest stressor among care workers' job stresses. A significant difference in sleep quality was observed according to the self-perceived health status of the care workers. The care workers' sleep quality was negatively correlated with job stress (r=-.16, p=.018), depression (r=-.31, p<.001) and fatigue (r=-.29, p<.001). The influencing factors of sleep quality were depression (${\beta}=-0.22$, p=.001) and fatigue (${\beta}=-0.15$, p=.047). Conclusion: It is necessary to improve the health status and sleep quality of care workers by developing and applying health promotion programs to reduce the depression and fatigue of the care worker. This will ultimately improve the quality of service care for the patients.

본 연구는 종합병원에 근무하는 간호사를 대상으로 이들의 건강수준(SF-36)을 파악하고, 건강수준과 인구사회학적 특성, 직업관련 특성 및 직무스트레스 내용 등의 제 요인들과의 관련성을 파악하고자 실시하였다. 조사대상은 250병상 이상의 6개 종합병원에 근무하고 있는 간호사 572명으로 하였으며, 자료 수집은 2014년 5월 1일부터 5월 31일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문지를 이용한 설문조사에 의하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상 간호사들의 건강수준(SF-36)은 개인의 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련행위 특성 및 직업관련 특성뿐만 아니라 직무스트레스 내용과도 유의한 관련성이 있음을 시사하고 있다. 특히 건강수준(SF-36)은 직무스트레스 내용에 있어서 업무 요구도가 낮고, 업무의 자율성, 상사 및 동료의 지지도가 높을 때 높아지는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 간호사의 직무스트레스를 통제할 수 있는 조직 내 시스템 개발과 분위기 조성이 우선되어져야 할 것이며, 또한, 간호사들의 건강수준(SF-36)을 증대시키기 위한 프로그램 개발이 필요하다고 사료된다.

Objective : Korean employees tend to release their stress by alcohol drinking. This study aimed to investigate the association between job stress and problematic drinking in Korean employees. Methods : The study participants were 72,119 employees who attended health screenings and responded to the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test-Korea (AUDIT-K), Korean Occupational Stress Scale-Short Form (KOSS-SF), Center for Epidemiologic Study-Depression (CES-D), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and questionnaire on suicidal ideation and sociodemographic characteristics. We investigated the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the problematic drinking group ($AUIDT-K{\geq}12$) and used binary logistic regression to determine the impact of job stress on problematic drinking. Results : Age, gender, marital status, education year, sleep duration, obesity, smoking, suicidal ideation, and depression and anxiety showed significant differences between the problematic drinking group and normal group. Among the various kinds of job stresses, job insecurity and lack of reward were associated with problematic drinking. Conclusion : The result of this study suggested that certain kinds of job stress might be associated with problematic drinking in Korean employees.

The association of poor body postures with pains or symptoms of musculoskeletal discorders has been reported by many researchers. An ergonomic evaluation of postural stresses as well as biomechanical stresses is also important especially when a job involves highly repetitive or prolonged poor body postures. The human body is divided into five parts: shoulder/upper arm, lower arm/wrist, back, neck, lower extremities. A work-sampling based macropostural classification system was developed to characterize various postures in this study. Application of the posture classification schema developed in this study to 7 automobile assembly tasks showed that the schema can be used as a tool to didntify the operation and tasks involving highly stressful body postures. This posture classification schema can also be applied as a basis for quantitive evaluating the workload of manual task.

공공도서관에서 공중에게 도서관서비스를 제공하는 사서는 감정노동의 종사자라 할 수 있다. 그리고 공공도서관 사서의 감정노동은 종사자의 감정과 조직에서 요구하는 감정 간의 차이로 인하여 지각하게 되는 스트레스를 구성하게 되어, 조직몰입이나 직무만족 등의 조직유효성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 이에 본 연구는 공공도서관 사서의 감정노동이 직무몰입과 직무만족에 미치는 영향에 대해서 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 위하여 문헌조사를 통한 공공도서관 사서와 감정노동과의 개념적 배경을 바탕으로, 공공도서관 사서의 조직몰입과 조직만족 대한 이론적 근거를 마련하였다. 그리고 본 연구는 수도권소재 33개 공공도서관에 근무하는 238명의 사서를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여, 조사된 설문내용은 SPSS20 통계패키지를 이용한 통계분석으로 처리하여 각 변인간의 관계를 분석하였다. 그리고 이러한 분석결과를 바탕으로 공공도서관 사서의 감정노동이 공공도서관 사서의 조직몰입과 조직만족에 미치는 영향에 대한 토론을 전개하였다.

본 연구는 일부 소방직공무원들의 스트레스 및 피로 수준을 파악하고, 스트레스와 피로에 관련된 요인을 구명하고자 청주시의 소방공무원 262명을 대상으로 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문지(self-administrated questionnaire)를 이용한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 전체 조사대상 소방공무원들의 사회심리적 스트레스 수준은 잠재적 스트레스군이 12.2%, 고위험스트레스군이 87.5%이었으며, 건강군은 한 명도 없었다 피로수준은 중앙값을 기준으로 구분하였을 경우, 낮은 군이 51.1%, 높은 군이 48.9%를 차지하였다. 단계별 다변량 회귀분석 결과 사회심리적 스트레스에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 주관적인 건강상태, 직장생활만족도, 직무요구도, 음주상태 등이 선정되었으며, 피로수준에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 주관적 건강상태, 규칙적인 운동여부 등이 선정되었다. 이상의 연구결과는 소방공무원의 사회심리학적 스트레스나 피로수준이 대단히 높은 것을 시사하며 여러 요인들이 관여하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 소방공무원들의 스트레스나 피로를 감소시키기기 위한 건강증진프로그램의 개발 및 시행이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
