This study attempted to evaluate the direct and indirect effect of emotional labor, job and psychosocial stress, and fatigue of beauty industry workers on their musculoskeletal diseases. The findings of this study showed that, among the workers with perceived symptoms of musculoskeletal diseases, the body part with the most commonly occurring symptom was the shoulder, followed by neck, low back, wrist, arm, foot and knee. As for the effect of work-related psychological factors on musculoskeletal diseases, it was found that the workers with musculoskeletal diseases were more affected by emotional labor and fatigue than non-symptom workers. It was also shown that when their job stress increased, the fatigue level also increased, though their psychosocial stress decreased. In addition, it was found that both direct and indirect effects of emotional labor on fatigue were high, and the indirect effect of job stress through fatigue on musculoskeletal diseases was significant.

This study has been conducted on the subjects of eight undergraduate students with abdominal obesity and eight undergraduate students with normal weight to find out correlation between substantial fatigue and Ratings of perceived exertion through analysis of their blood components when they took exercises to strengthen their abdominal muscular power. Comparatively analyzing HDL-C, LDL-C and lactic acid before and after they took sit-up at level of RPE 19-20, no statistically significant differences in HDL, LDL, lactic acid measures were observed between groups, but a significant difference in RPE was noted between groups(p<0.05) Our findings suggest that control group showed no significant difference in increase of fatigue material whereas the obese group showed a lower frequency of sit-up, though both groups took the same abdominal exercise. Additionally, the lower frequency of sit-up in obese group results from relatively higher Ratings of perceived exertion rather than increase of substantial fatigue material. This study invites future research that examines the effect of a comprehensive obesity exercise program combined with dietetic on ratings of perceived exertion in individuals with obesity.

3D 영상 산업의 활성화와 함께 3D 영상이 적용됨으로써 유망한 산업 분야 중 하나가 게임이다. 2D에서 3D 그래픽으로 그리고 현재는 3D 입체영상으로 진화하면서 이용자에게 깊이감을 제공함으로써 더 큰 즐거움을 주고 있다. 그러나 우리나라 18세 이상 성인 중절반이 안경 또는 콘택트렌즈를 착용하고 있을 정도로 안경 착용자가 많은 환경에서 3D 영상을 즐기기 위해서 또 다른 안경인 3D 안경을 착용해야 하는 것은 큰 불편이 아닐 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 게임에서의 입체영상 및 안경 착용여부가 영상의 특성, 프레즌스 그리고 피로도 등에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 했으며, 실험결과 디스플레이와 안경착용의 상호작용효과는 프레즌스 구성요소 중 시간관여에서 유의미하게 나타났다. 2D 영상에서는 안경 착용자가 높은 반면 3D 입체영상에서는 안경 비착용자가 높게 인지하였다. 그리고 인지된 특성과 피로도 변인에서는 영상 여부의 주효과에서만 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 인지된 특성 구성요소 중 선명도에서는 3D 입체영상 보다 2D 영상의 화질이 좋다고 평가하였으며, 피로도는 2D 영상 보다는 3D 입체영상에서 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose : To identify general characteristics of school personnel with recent fatigue which was the most frequent symptom among subjective symptoms and to explore fatigue-related factors by evaluating physical and perceived health status, life style, and symptoms through data mining techniques. Methods : We collected a data of the 1,147(male 545, female 602) who were elementary, middle, or high school personnel, answered a questionnaire, and received physical examination in Seoul School Health Center from September to November in 2000. And we investigated the differences between fatigue group and non-fatigue group for demographic characteristics, physical health status, perceived health status, symptoms, and laboratory values by frequency, chi-square test, t-test, or simple logistic regression analysis by SAS package 8.1, and then selected significant variables as input variables of a decision tree analysis of CART model by SAS E-miner. Results : In general characteristics, the fatigue consisted of 41.1%(male 35.2%, female 46.4%) among 1,147 school personnel. In classical statistics, factors related with fatigue were female, lower means of systolic and diastolic pressure, young age, personnel in middle school, irregular eating habit, no exercise a week or less than 30minutes exercise a day, perception of unhealthy status, and subjective symptoms including short of breath at exercise. In simple logistic regression to examine the relationship between selected independent variables and fatigue as a dependent variable, the odds ratio of gender (female vs male) was 1.58 times, and young age ( 20s vs 60s) 20.67 times, and middle vs high school personnel 1.86 times. However, we mined combined several characteristics by SAS-E miner. In CART model, if health perception was healthy, and age was >= 37.5 years, the proportion of the fatigue was only 19.3%. but if health perception was not healthy and symptom was severe 'short of breath' during exercise and age was < 53.5 years, and BMI was >= 22.69, the proportion of the fatigue was up to 84.8%. Conclusions : The fatigue consisted of 41.1%(male 35.2%, female 46.4%). In classical statistics, fatigue-related factors among school personnel were young age, female gender, perceived unhealthy status, subjective physical symptoms, poor life-style, and lower blood pressure rather than only physical health status. However, in data mining, if health perception was healthy and age was >= 37.5 years, the proportion of the fatigue was only 19.3%. but if health perception was not healthy and symptom was severe 'short of breath' during exercise and age was < 53.5 years, and BMI was >= 22.69, the proportion of the fatigue was up to 84.8%.

Three-dimensional (3D) crosstalk is one of the main causes of visual fatigue and needs to be suppressed. The 3D crosstalk can be categorized into two different kinds according to its appearance-additive 3D crosstalk and subtractive 3D crosstalk. In this paper, we analyze the influence of different kinds of 3D crosstalk to the perceived level of visual fatigue in order to suppress the perceived 3D crosstalk effectively.

영화 아바타의 성공 이후, 3D 영화의 성공 사례가 계속 이어지지 못하고 있다. 3D 영상이 성공하기 위해 많은 것을 고려해야하지만, 특히 휴먼팩터 부분을 간과시한 결과가 아닌가 하는 주장이 제기되고 있다. 3D 영상이 시청자에게 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 이제 막 초기 연구가 실행되고 있는 상황에서 본 연구는 3D 영상 시청 후 시청자의 심리적 반응을 인지된 특성, 프레즌스, 시각 피로도 그리고 양안운동 지각을 통해 측정하고자 했다. 90명을 대상으로 한 실험연구 결과 첫째, 인지된 특성은 프레즌스에 영향을 미치고 인지된 특성의 세부 요인 중 실물감이 프레즌스에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 프레즌스의 경험정도가 높을수록 인지된 안구운동이 증가했지만, 시각피로도는 감소하였다. 이처럼, 프레즌스가 눈 움직임 지각과 시각피로도에 미치는 영향이 가지는 첫 번째 함의는 다음과 같다. 우리가 눈을 움직인다는 것은 우리가 미디어적인 도구로서 우리의 눈을 사용한다고 여기기보다는 눈과 함께 환경과 상호 작용하고 있다는 것이다. 따라서 콘텐츠에서 경험할 수 있는 상호작용의 요소들이 많아야 할 것이라고 추론할 수 있으며 이를 후속 연구를 통해 검증하는 것이 필요할 것이다. 다음으로는 프레즌스의 요인 중 시간 관여가 높아짐에 따라 시각피로도에 대한 지각이 감소한다. 반면 몰입 실재감이 증가함에 따라 시각피로도는 증가하게 되므로 콘텐츠 제작 시 몰입 실재감을 높이는 효과는 일정 수준이상이 되지 않도록 조절해야 할 것이다. 이를 위해 프레즌스에 영향을 미치는 인지된 특성변인 중 실물감 요인이 프레즌스의 세부요인별로 어떠한 영향을 미치는지, 프레즌스에 영향을 미치는 다른 변인은 무엇인지를 후속 연구를 통해 알아볼 필요가 있을 것이다.

Stress is a primary health promotion issue in worksite research because psychological distress is closely related not only to workers　 health status but also to their job performance. This study identified the work environment and work condition factors affecting workers　 stress symptoms among the Korean manufacturing factory workers. A total of 7,818 factory workers employed in 1,562 manufacturing companies participated in the Korean nation-wide occupational health survey conducted by the Korean Occupational Safety and Health Agency in 2003. Participants were selected by the stratified proportional sampling process by standardized industry classification, company size, and locations. Trained interviewers visited the target companies and interviewed the factory workers randomly selected in each company. Work environments included physical work environments (temperature, noise, hazardous organic compounds, and so on) and psychological work environments (job demands, job control, and social support at work), and work conditions included daily working hour, rest time, and so on. Men were 71.5% and the mean age was 34.0 years old. The average working period in the present company was 6.9 years. The average stress score was 26.2 under the perfect score, 50, which means the moderate level of stress. Perceived stress had significant correlations with young age, poor physical work environment, high fatigue, bad perceived health status, and high job demands in Pearson's simple correlation analysis. Perceived health status and perceived fatigue explained 21% variance of stress symptoms and the work environment factor explained 4.8% of that; however, work condition did not have the sufficient effect. In particular, psychosocial work environment variables (job demand, job control, and social support at work) had a clear effect on stress symptoms rather than the physical work environments. Poor perceived health status, severe perceived fatigue, poor physical work environment, high job demands, low social support, heavy alcohol consumption and little exercise were significantly related to high stress symptoms in the Korean manufacturing workers.

Purpose: The study was to identify relationships between the family support, perceived health status and self esteem in Korean women with breast cancer. Methods: Data were collected by questionnaires from 214 women with breast cancer in inpatient and outpatient settings at three different university hospitals and one cancer hospital in B city, Korea. The instruments included Family Support Scale, Perceived Health Status Scale, and Self Esteem Scale. The collected data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, and Pearson's correlation coefficients by SPSS WIN 15.0 program. Results: There were significant differences in the family support by age, education, and cost burden. There were significant differences in the perceived health status by education, occupation, economic status, pain, fatigue, and cancer insurance. There were significant differences in the self esteem by age, occupation, economic status, type of religion, pain, fatigue, and cancer insurance. Self-esteem was significantly correlated with family support and perceived health status. Conclusion: These results suggested that promoting perceived health status and enhancing family support would increase self-esteem effectively among Korean women with breast cancer.
