Objectives: This study aimed to estimate the trajectory of depressive symptoms among aged 20 years adults and examine the direct and indirect pathway linking socioeconomic status(education attainment, household income, occupation), alcohol use and depressive symptoms. It particularly focused on whether alcohol use would mediate the relationship between socioeconomic status and depressive symptoms. Methods: This study analysed 13,763 households of Korean Welfare Panel Study 1st, 2nd, 3rd data using Latent Growth Curve Modeling. Results: The results showed that study participants tend to decrease depressive symptoms with years. Similar to the findings of the previous studies, education attainment and household income among the socioeconomic status factors effected directly depressive symptoms and indirectly by mediating alcohol volume controlling sex and age. Conclusions: Based on findings of this study, the policy and practical implications were discussed.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) in occupational disease claims and identify patterns of WRMSDs for each body part by industry and occupation. Methods: This study analyzed the raw data of occupational disease claims for musculoskeletal disorders deliberated by the Occupational Disease Decision Committee of the Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service in 2020. The data was classified into 6 body parts with the highest numbers of occupational disease cases by using the complete enumeration data on principal diagnoses and 4 types of subdiagnoses in the raw data. The characteristics and approval rates of WRMSDs by body part, industry and occupation were examined and summarized. Results: A total of 13,015 occupational disease cases for WRMSDs were classified, and lumbar spinal (back) diseases accounted for the largest proportion of claimed diseases, followed by shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and neck diseases in a descending order. The occupations with the highest and second highest numbers of occupational disease cases by body part were found to be automobile assemblers and production-related elementary workers for the neck, school meal service workers and cooks for the back, construction frame mold carpenters and school meal service workers for the shoulder, elementary workers in mining and food service workers for the elbow, food service workers and automobile parts assemblers for the wrist, and ship welders and school meal service workers for the knee. Conclusions: This study examined the characteristics and approval status of WRMSDs by body part and occupation. Based on the study results, management strategies for the prevention of WRMSDs should be established regarding occupations with a high risk of WRMSDs for each body part.

Results of the studies are as follows: 1. Hypothesis 1 ; Tendencies of finger sucking will be greater in children of occupant mothers due to lack of maternal love. Through chi-square examination significant difference is revealed by P>0.05 level, therefore Hypothesis 1 is rejected. (X²=0.24) 3. Hypothesis 2; of occupant mothers tend to have had wanted number of children through family planning. Ratio of wanted versus unwanted children were tested and significant difference is revealed by P<0.05 1eve1. Hypothesis 2 is supported. (X²=8.398). 3. Hypothesis 3: Non-occupant mothers tend to cuddle more while feeding infants. Significant difference Is revealed through Chi-square test by P〈0.05 level. Hypothesis 3 is rejected. (X²=4.34) Conclusion and recommendations: Occupant mothers' higher degree of interest and consideration compared to that of non-occupant mothers in regard to nurturing of their children have been ascertained by this study.

본 연구는 직업분류에 따른 의료비 지출 영향요인을 분석하였다. 한국의료패널(Korea Health Panel)의 2012년도 데이터를 이용하여 만20세 이상의 성인을 대상으로 결측값을 제외한 총 4,538명을 최종 분석대상으로 하였다. 자료분석은 의료비 지출 영향요인을 분석하기 위하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 하였다. 연구분석 결과 Model 1은 단순노무 종사자에 비해 농림어업 숙련 종사자, Model 2의 경우 직종의 경우 판매 종사자에 비해 단순노무 종사자에서 의료비 지출 증가에 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었다. 성별은 남자에 비해 여자, 혼인은 무에 비해 유, 소득계층은 1분위에 비해 4분위, 5분위, 만성질환은 무에 비해 유에서 의료비 지출이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서, 건강검진 또는 예방활동 활성화를 위한 보건의료정책 및 보건학적 접근에 있어서 직종, 만성질환 등을 반영한 보다 체계화된 접근이 필요하다.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the relationship among musculoskeletal problems, sleep problems, and self-rated mental health of home-care workers. Methods: Data were collected from 447 home-care workers spanning three occupation types: life supporters for the elderly, home-visit caregivers, and life supporters for the disabled. Musculoskeletal problems, sleep problems, and self-rated mental health were assessed using structured questionnaires. Factors affecting self-rated mental health were analyzed using multiple regression. SPSS was used to test the mediating effects of sleep problems on musculoskeletal problems and self-rated mental health. Results: Among the general characteristics, the variables that showed significant differences in musculoskeletal problems were monthly income level, caring-related career duration, weekly working hours, and occupation type; and the variable that showed significant differences in self-rated mental health was occupation type. Among the occupation types, supporters for the disabled had the most musculoskeletal problems and the lowest self-rated mental health. Musculoskeletal problems among home-care workers had a direct negative effect on self-rated mental health and indirect negative effects on sleep problems. Conclusion: Measures are needed to reduce the differences in working conditions and health status among the occupation types of home-care workers. Considering the relevance between the health issues of home-care workers, the development of a carefully designed health promotion strategy is required.

본 연구는 직업분류 및 고용분류별 스트레스, 스트레스 상담, 우울증상, 우울증상 상담 정도를 파악하기 위해 지역사회건강조사 자료를 이차 분석하였다. 직업분류별 및 고용분류별 확실한 비교를 위해 기준 직업군으로 '무직(직업분류 기준항목)'과 '무급가족종사자(고용분류 기준항목)'를 포함하여 한국표준직업분류(6차 개정)에 의한 총 13개의 직업군을 이용하였다. 직업분류 및 고용분류별 스트레스, 스트레스 상담, 우울증상, 우울증상 상담 여부의 교차비에서는 '무직'과 '무급가족종사자'의 스트레스 정도가 대체적으로 더 낮게 나타난 반면, 스트레스 상담, 우울증상, 우울증상 상담에서는 '무직'과 '무급가족종사자'가 오히려 더 높은 교차비를 보였다. '관리직'을 포함한 7개의 직업군은 '무직'보다 스트레스를 많이 받지만(OR > 1), 의료기관 이용률은 낮게 나타났다(OR < 1). '고용주 및 자영업자'와 '임금근로자'가 '무급가족종사자'에 비해 높은 교차비를, 스트레스 상담 및 우울상담에서는 낮은 교차비를 보였다. 본 연구는 정신건강문제 선별 및 관리를 위해 특정 인구집단에 대한 접근을 통해 직장 내 정신보건서비스 제공에 대한 필요성을 시사하고 있다.
