  • For happy life, it is first of all essential to live healthily although wealth is important too. Korean government has enforced National Health Insurance Program and has improved it every year. However, health security still leaves something to be desired in Korea. Although Korean government also enacted National Health Promotion Law in 1995, the national health promotion policy has not been effectively carried out because of the problems of institution related to policy implementation and expenses of organizations. Also, community health services have failed to realize the anticipated results. Especially, health education services which are deeply related to national health consciousness are not well accomplished. Therefore, the average life span of Korean people is 73.5 years which display the level of the developing countries, while it is 74.7 years in the developed countries. Various health education services which Korean government and private organizations are carrying out are not activated. At this time, national health behavior and Quality of life will be greatly enhanced if "Mobile Health Education Teams" play active roles with new image, visiting vulnerable areas to health problems all over the country.e country.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of sleep quality and occupational stress on health-related quality of life among a university's security workers. Methods: 128 security workers voluntarily participated in the study. The survey asked demographic, health related, job related factors, the Korean Occupational Stress Scale Short Form(KOSS-SF), sleep quality questionnaire, and 12-Short Form Health Survey version 2.0(SF-12v2). The data were analyzed by using descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, multiple linear regression, and multiple logistic regression. Results: The interrupted rest time was significantly negatively related to occupational stress. The occupational stress significantly affected sleep quality. The significant variable affecting Physical Component Score(PCS) and Mental Component Score(MCS) was sleep quality and occupational stress, respectively. Conclusions: HRQOL was founded to be affected by occupational stress and sleep disorder among the security workers. Based on this study, we suggest that the management of both occupational stress and sleep quality is crucial to improve the HRQOL.
