Cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major cause of deaths among workers as well as in general population in Korea. Occupational stress like long working hours or overwork can cause sudden unexpected death in a worker who had been suffering from an aggravated preexisting condition such as hypertensive or arteriosclerotic diseases, The Korean government has compensated the cases of cerebrovascular disease and cardiovascular disease due to overwork, but neither a resonable definition of overwork nor detailed evaluation guideline has been officially provided to verify overwork, so that the prevention of, as well as compensation for workers' occupational stress-related cardiovascular attacks, cannot be carried out efficiently. A thorough understanding of the etiopathology of WR-CVDs can be very helpful in developing a prevention strategy.

This study was conducted to present the improvement in professional perception among construction workers engaged in domestic construction sites by analyzing the reality of their professional perception. The results are as follows: First, with regard to professional perception of the construction industry, managerial workers made their positive reply to items regarding construction and construction workers but had their negative attitude towards construction as a job and as a recommendable job for others; whereas production workers showed their negative reply to all the items. Second, with respect to factors for construction being firmly regarded as an 3D industry, managerial workers selected 'long working hours' and production workers replied with 'low wages and income insecurity.' Third, as for improvement activities for professional perception of construction, most of construction workers simply knew about activities being performed but expressed their intention to participate in the activities.

This study was performed to investigate LBP(low-back pain) prevalence rate and its related factors inphysical therapists. A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted to 522 physical therapists in Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk. The LBP prevalence rate for recent 6 months was $61.7\%$. According to age, the prevalence rate was highest in the group aged 24 or less for both male and female physical therapistis. For male physical therapists , it was higher in smokers and drivers, but for female ones, it was not in a significant relationship with smoking and driving. According to work experience, the prevalence rates of those who had been working for less than one year were the highest, and those who had been working at hospitals and clinics were $69.1\%$, significantly high. According to therapy techinque, the prevalence rate related ti PNF was $71.6\%$, the highest and to occupational therapy was $34.3\%$, the lowest. According to working environment for six months, in both male and female physical therapists. LBP prevalence rate was in a statistically significant relationship with work hours during the day, night and weekend duties, repetitive works, motions that bend or twist the waist, the number of patients per day, the number of time to help patients per day, the number of time to carry medical equipment per day and the length of time to work standing. The rate was also higher when physical therapists fekt nire stress from their work. According to the result of multiple logistic regression analysis, male was in a significant relationship with work experience and motions that bend or twist the waist and female was in a significant relationship with work hours during the night and weekend duties, the number of time to help patients per day, motions that bena or twist the waist, actions taken to protect the waist. As for the developmental pattem of LBP in the group of physical therapists with LBP for six moths, $15.7\%$ of them had LBP for first time, $42.3\%$ had recurred LBP, and $42.0\%$ had chronic LBP. As for the causes of LBP, $51.7\%$ said that it was because they worked in the same posture for a long time, and as for how to treat LBP, 48.8% said that they treated themselvs or got help from their co-wokers. The results presented above suggest that physical therapists are exposed to high risk of LBP caused form occupational activities. Therefire, it is necessary to improve working environment to reduce the occurrence of LBP and to develop education programs for preventing the occurrence and recurrence of LBP.

한국의 중 고령자들이 60세 이전에 조기은퇴하는 현상의 주된 이유로 건강문제가 거론된다. 일부 선행연구에서는 은퇴 이후 시점에서의 건강과 조기은퇴 간의 관계를 알아보았다는 점에서 역인과관계 문제가 존재한다. 또한 근로 당시의 건강상태를 고려하지 않고 건강문제와 조기은퇴 간의 관계를 분석함으로 인해 건강문제의 영향력이 과대평가될 수 있는 문제점이 제기된다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 본 연구는 근로 시기와 비교해 건강상태의 악화가 조기은퇴에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 고령화패널 1차 자료에서 조사된 45~52세 중 고령 근로자 1,049명을 대상으로 고령화패널 5차 자료까지의 추적연구를 통해 건강의 악화가 조기은퇴에 미치는 영향을 콕스의 비례위험모형으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 은퇴 이전 시점에서 치료가 필요한 만성질환의 증가는 자영업자의 은퇴 위험을, 주관적 건강상태의 악화는 임금근로자의 은퇴 위험을 유의하게 높이는 것을 확인했다. 이러한 결과는 역인과관계 문제와 편향 문제를 없애거나 줄인 상황에서도 건강 악화는 여전히 조기은퇴의 주된 원인임을 보여준다. 자영업자와 임금근로자 간 은퇴원인의 차이는, 자영업자의 근로신축성에 기인한 것으로 추측된다.

성인 남성은 주된 경제활동 인구로서 앉아서 보내는 시간이 상대적으로 길어 이들의 좌식 시간과 건강의 연관성에 대한 관심과 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 성인 남성의 좌식 시간과 영양, 식이 및 건강 행태의 차이와 관련성에 대해 알아보고 건강 위험 요인을 예방하기 위한 가이드라인의 기초자료로 활용하는 것이다. 피험자 (n = 1,068)는 평소 하루 앉아서 보내는 시간 (시간 및 분)에 따라 4개 그룹으로 분류하였다. 좌식 시간이 가장 긴 그룹의 대상자는 평균 연령이 가장 낮았고 허리둘레가 유의적으로 가장 컸다. 또한 좌식 시간이 가장 긴 그룹의 교육수준과 White collar의 비율이 높았고, 이에 따라 업무 중 고강도와 중강도 신체활동을 하지 않는 비율 또한 높았다. 최근 1년의 음주 빈도는 그룹 간 유의적인 차이는 있었으나, 좌식 시간이 가장 짧은 그룹과 가장 높은 그룹에서 가장 빈번하였으며, 이는 좌식 시간보다는 평균 근로시간과 비슷한 경향이었다. 걷기와 근육 운동 횟수에는 그룹 간 차이가 없었지만, 유산소 운동 실시 비율은 좌식 시간이 긴 그룹에서 더 낮게 나타났다. 식이습관, 평일 수면시간 및 정신건강은 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 당뇨병 의사 진단을 받은 사람은 좌식 시간이 가장 긴 그룹에 가장 많았으나, 골다공증, 관절염, 골관절염, 류마티스성 관절염은 유병 빈도가 미미하였고 그룹 간 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 심혈관질환과 관련된 요인 중 LDL-콜레스테롤만 유의적인 차이가 있었는데, 좌식 시간이 가장 긴 그룹의 혈중 LDL-콜레스테롤 농도가 가장 높았다. 에너지 및 영양소 섭취량의 경우 좌식 시간이 가장 긴 그룹의 비타민 B₁과 칼슘 섭취량이 가장 적었고, 비타민 C를 EAR보다 적게 섭취한 분율이 가장 높았다. 본 연구 결과는 한국 성인 남성의 건강 및 영양상태 등이 좌식 시간과 관련이 있다는 것을 시사하므로 좌식 시간을 건강 위험요인으로 인지하고 이를 예방하고 해결할 수 있는 가이드라인을 개발하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the nature of work-family compatibility in the everyday experiences of dual-earner families. By comprehensively describing how dual-earner families manage daily life, this study shows their current situations. In particular, this study overcomes the limitations of previous studies using the phenomenological research methods. Previous studies partially dealt with the problems of dual-earner couples, such as the role conflict of wives and husbands. However, this study broadly demonstrates how wives and husbands as independent individuals manage their lives by working together for a living. Participants were 6 males and 6 females, who lived in Gwangju metropolitan city. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the method of Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen in Moustakas (1994). The results of this study display that dual-earner couples work for a living, but work is the driving force in their life. Family provides dual-earner couples with a stable life, but their stable life is possible by social support like the assistance of a mother-in-law. Dual-earner couples consider work and family as the essential axis of life, thus they give the same value on work and family. Even though dual-earner couples have a difficult time educating their children because of long working hours and coming home late, they positively combine work and family meeting the needs of self-improvement. Therefore, it is necessary to create a working environment that provides enough time for housework and childcare.

본 논문은 파트타임근로를 통해서 짧은 시간 내에 높은 고용률 향상이라는 성과를 달성한 네델란드에서의 파트타임근로의 현황과 전망, 제도와 정책 등을 종합적으로 살펴보는 글이다. 네델란드는 파트타임근로를 통한 고용률 제고뿐만 아니라 양질의 파트타임을 만들어냈다는 점에서 주목받고 있다. 네델란드에서 파트타임근로가 증가한 것은 시장, 제도, 정책, 그리고 노사관계 등 다양한 요인들이 파트타임근로를 촉진하는 방향으로 서로 보완하면서 발전하였기 때문이다. 노동시장에서는 여성의 경제활동참가 증가와 기업의 파트타임수요의 증가라는 선순환 구조가 형성되었고, 파트타임근로를 보호하고 파트타임에 유리하도록 인센티브 구조를 재설계하며 근로시간선택권을 보장하며 보육시스템을 강화하는 제도나 정책이 지속적으로 강화되었다. 그러나 이러한 시장에서의 수요-공급의 선순환 구조와 파트타임을 촉진한 제도와 정책도 노사정 사이의 사회적 합의라는 커다란 틀 속에서 그에 기초해서 이루어진 것이었다는 점이 중요하다. 또한 거의 30년 가까지 지속된 네델란드모델은 노동시장의 문화와 관행으로 정착되어 풀타임근로나 노동시간 확대의 방향으로 전환하기는 어려운 것으로 평가된다. 따라서 네델란드 모델은 네델란드의 사회적 조건 하에서 성립한 특수한 모델이고 높은 수준의 사회적 합의를 기초로 하여 제도와 시장이 보완적으로 잘 결합되어 있는 모델이기 때문에 여타 국가가 부분적인 제도 이식을 통해서 성과를 내기는 어렵다고 판단된다.

Purpose: This study is aimed at obtaining the information on the physical fitness level of female flight attendants at a local airline. Methods: The subjects are 2,409 female flight attendants who have had medical examination and physical fitness tests at an airline medical center from January 2 to December 30, 2008. The independent variables include socio-demographic & behavioral characteristics, and medical examination results, whereas the dependent variable is their physical strength score representing their fitness level. Results: Factors that affect the fitness strength score are age, flight hours per year, and fasting blood sugar level. It is found that physical fitness level is higher when the subjects are over 35, on board for over 850 hours per year and their fasting blood sugar level is over 100 mg/dL. Conclusion: It is concluded that for the improvement of flight attendants' health, more exercise to develop cardio-respiratory endurance and muscular strength is needed, and further study needs to be done to develop fitness enhancement programs considering flight attendants' job characteristics, working years, and flight hours per year, and programs for those returning to their workplace after a long-term leave, and new employees.
