The purpose of this study was to provide the basic data for the effective health management of the industrial workers, by classifying factors influencing their perceived symptoms to examine their health status and identifying the inter' relationship of their perceived symptom with their working department. the environment of working area and their general characteristics. The study was undertaken from October 1 to November 30. 1989. The subjects were 999 workers who had worked in Industrial Corps located in Chungbuk Province. The results of this study were as follows: I . Worker's perceived symptoms were classified according to the following eight factors; 1) musculo - skeletal symptoms of shoulder, neck, back and arm 2) optical symptoms 3) symptoms in head(such as headache and dull) 4) musculo - skeletal symptoms of leg and lower back 5) gastro - intestinal symptoms 6) mental symptoms. 7) neural symptoms 8) lung and heart symptoms II . The degrees of workers' perception of perceived symptoms; Mean score of perceived symptoms:7.0 The rank of degrees of perceived symptoms: The highest:musculo - skeletal symptoms of shoulder, neck, back, and arm The second:optical symptoms The third:musculo - skeletal symptoms of leg and lower back The fourth:mental symptoms the fifth:gastro-intestinal symptoms m . Analysis of the inter-relationship of perceived symptoms with working department, environment of working area and general characteristics; 1) sexuality The difference of degrees of perceived symptoms was significant;femanle was higher than male(P<0.000). 2) level of education The difference of degrees of perceived symptoms according to the level of education was significant; The higher the level of education, the higher the degree. 3) working department The working department played a significant part in the degrees of perceived symptoms of workers; Workers of assembling department:musculo-skeletal symptoms both of shoulder. neck, back and arm and of leg and lower back(P<0.000). Workers of inspection department:optical symptoms(P<0.05). Office workers:mental symptoms(P<0.05). 4) kinds of job The difference of the degrees of perceived symptoms according to kinds of job was significant; Workers dealing with chemical materials and workers dealing with job with high tension:gastro-intestinal symptoms and symptoms in head. Workers dealing with weighty things or working a long time with the same posture:musculo-skeletal symptoms both of shoulder, neck, back and arm and of lower back(P<0.000). 5) working posture The difference of the degrees of perceived symptoms related with working posture was significant; Sitting:optical symptoms(P<0.0000) and symptoms in head(P<0.005) Standing:musculo-skeletal symptoms of leg and lower back(P<0.0000). 6) satisfaction with their own duty The more dissatisfien they were. the higher became the degrees of their perceived symptoms(P<0.0001). 7) satisfaction with their working condition The more dissatisfied with their working condition they were, the higher became the degrees of their perceived symptoms(P<0.001). 8) environment of working area The environment of working area played a significant part in the degrees of perceived symptoms of workers; Workers exposed to most of the factors of the environment of working area were higher than those not exposed in the degrees of musculoskeletal symptoms. Workers in the noisy environment:optican symptoms(P<0.000), symptoms in head(P<0.005). Workers in the damp environment:optical symptoms(P<0.005) and lung and heart symptoms(P <0.01). Workers with illumination problem:optical symptoms(P<0.000), mental symptoms(P<0.005) and neural symptoms(P<0.01). Workers with ventilation problem:optical symptoms and lung and heart symptoms(P<0.001)

An analysis of nursing activities in a in-patient ward and its management was observed in order to assess necessary number of nursing hands and find out reasonable work management with them. The study was performed with two wards of St. Mary′s Hospital, Catholic Medical Center, for the period from July to December 1970. The results and conclusions were as the following 1. The role of the nurses are determined by doctor′s order in 57.7% in kind, 80.0% in amount. and by nurses decision 20.0% in amount. 2. Works related to patient care are found to be 20.6% in the internal medicine ward and 20.4% in the surgical ward while works related to treatment are 4.7% in the former and 27.2% in the letter. Medication occupies 40.0% in the internal medical ward while 26.6% in the surgery ward, and observation occupies 34.7% in the former while 25.8% in the letter. These can be said to reflect characteristic differences bet ween the two wards. 3. When nursing functions were evaluated by importance "A" level in the amount of works to be done occupied 67.6% in the surgical ward and 62.8% in the internal medical ward. In the kind of the important works, "B"level is found to be most frequent with 50% while "A"level 43%. When evaluated by difficulty, "B"level was found to be most frequent in amount in both internal medicine and surgical wards (52.6%, 38.2%). 4. Works needing professional knowledge and skills occupied 92% in the both wards while unprofessional works 2.8% and 4.2% respectively. There are indications, however, that unprofessional works have an increasing tendency. 5. When evaluated by the amount of works, the surgical ward has 11 nurses less and the internal medicine ward 3 nurses less then the necessary number of nursing staffs. There are shortage of 12 and 6 nurses respectively when evaluated by the number of patients and 18 nurses in the both wards when evaluated by the medical regulations of the Government. 6. The ratio of the nursing staff to patient was found to be 1:11.5, 1:23.0 and 1:34.5 in the morning, evening and night turn in the surgical ward. In the medical word the ratio was 1:9.4, 1:22.0 and 1:33.0. 7. The deficiency of necessary equipment and tension accompanying management of those equipment were found to lower the effective functioning of the head nurse who is a junior manager of the ward. They also consume much of the time and energy of the nurses at work who are over burdened in most of the cases. 8. The high rate of the number of nurses who leave the job impairs the functioning of team work which is considered to be most important in the effective performance of nursing activities and thus contributes to lower the efficiency of nursing functions.

자동차의 운전은 지각, 의사결정, 운동능력 등 다양한 능력을 필요로 하는 복잡한 행동의 연속이고, 지속적인 고도의 의식집중이나 외부자극에 대한 긴장감이 유발되므로 운전자는 피로를 느끼게 되며, 이러한 피로는 교통사고의 원인이 되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 복잡한 도시생활, 교통체증, 직업적인 특성 등에 의하여 운전자가 차량 내에서 보내는 시간은 증가하고 있고, 그에 따른 피로나 스트레스를 피할 수 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 산소공급에 의한 운전 중 피로경감의 가능성을 알아 보기 위하여 주관적인 평가 및 반응시간 테스트를 통하여 각각 다른 산소농도를 공급할 때의 주행시간 경과에 따른 운전 피로감을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 주관적 피로감은 저농도(18%)의 산소조건에서 가장 피로를 많이 느끼고 고농도(30%)의 산소조건에서의 피로감은 상대적으로 감소하였다. 졸림감도 1시간 이상 주행시간이 경과된 경우에 고농도 산소조건에서 상대적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 주행 2시간 후에 급정거의 지시로부터 브레이크에 반응하는 시간은 저농도의 산소조건에 비하여 고농도의 산소조건에서 유의하게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터 자동차 운전 중에 산소농도가 저하되면 현저하게 피로를 느끼게 되고, 고농도의 산소를 공급하는 경우는 상대적으로 피로감이 저하되며 반응시간이 단축되는 것으로 나타나, 산소공급에 의하여 운전자의 피로가 경감될 수 있다고 시사되었다.

스웨덴 시간제근로가 주로 여성들의 일자리로 자리잡고 있음에도 불구하고 주변화되지 않고 좋은 일자리로 자리잡게 된 데에는 다음 세가지 조건이 가장 중요하였다고 판단된다. 첫째, 스웨덴에서 시간제근로는 고용유연화를 목적으로 한 것이라기 보다는 생계부양자 모형의 전환을 목적으로 한 포괄적인 일-생활 양립 프로젝트의 일환으로 확산되었으며 보육정책, 육아휴직정책과 긴밀하게 연계되어 시행되고 있다는 점이다. 둘째, 단시간근로 청구권을 바탕으로 한 전환형 시간제가 많아 종사상 지위의 측면에서 볼 때 전일제와 시간제의 지위 상 경계의 구분이 쉽지 않고 부가급여, 사회급여에서 차별적 대우의 근거가 없다는 점이다. 세째 EU근로시간 지침과 노동법, 단체협약에 의해 전일제근로의 노동시간에 대한 규제가 엄격하게 이루어지고 있어 시간제근로에 대한 수요가 크고 그와 함께 시간제근로의 초과근무를 엄격하게 통제하고 있어 시간제근로가 실질적으로 안착될 수 있었다는 점이다. 시간제근로가 스웨덴 여성들의 경제활동 및 생애과정에 미친 영향과 관련해서는 시간제근로가 여성 고용률을 증가시키는 데 기여했다는 데는 연구자들 간에 큰 이견이 없다. 1970년대 이후 시간제근로의 확산 과정을 보면 시간제근로는 기존에 경제활동을 하고 있던 전일제 여성근로자들을 시간제로 전환시킨 것보다는 경제적으로 비활동적이었던 여성들을 노동시장으로 끌어들인 효과가 훨씬 컸다. 시간제근로 확산 이후 스웨덴 여성들의 생애과정의 지배적인 패턴은 양육기 이전 전일제-양육기 시간제-양육기 이후 전일제로 양육기의 경력단절이 최소화된 패턴으로 대체된 것으로 평가된다. 성평등의 관점에서 볼 때 스웨덴의 시간제근로는 여성화의 문제, 여전히 온존하고 있는 성별직종분리의 문제 등 분리된 일자리라는 한계를 안고 있음에도 불구하고 여성들의 노동시장 통합도를 높이고 전일제로의 징검다리 역할을 하는 긍정성을 보여주고 있다.
