This study was carried out to investigate the current state of occupational health management and characteristics of employees working in small-scale-enterprises (SSE) employing less than 50 workers. Samples were chosen among the two thousands employees working in 838 factories where located in Youngdungpo-Ku, Seoul, Korea. The study results were as followed: 1. Most factories investigated in the study were manufactures (68.6%) which were established in 5 to 10 years ago (29.2%), employing less than 5 workers (72.9%) and registered in accident compensation insurance (23.0%). 2. Health screening was undertaken in 24.9% workplaces for periodic health examination and in 1.5% for special health examination. Environmental monitoring was done in 3.3% factories. Very few factories displayed Material Substance Data Sheet (MSDS) in 3.1% among the total factories. 3. Workplaces usually had their own toilets in 75.9% and washing basin in 58.6% as types of sociowelfare facilities. 4. Employees responded in the study were mostly in the range of age from 30 to 39 in 34.7%. male in 84.8%. the married in 70.3%. manual workers in 42.0%. mostly working regularly 51 hours per a week in 48.2% and earned 710.000 Won to 1.000.000 Won per month in 35.0%. Medical utilization for employees were covered by factories sponsored medical insurance in 12.7% and by provincial sponsored medical insurance in 83.4%. 5. Two point six percents of employees were suffered by diseases. The health complaints indicated were mainly digestive problems in 46.7% and hypertension in 24.4%. 6. Employees wore personal protective equipments for work such as gloves in 48.1%. safety shoes in 30.5%. ear plug in 5.5% and mask in 6.9%. Based on the results of study, we recommend that various types of occupational health management should be developed according to workplace working condition of each factory. In addition to the development of occupational health strategies. we think that it is more important to monitor and to allocate how effectively they operate each other on the basis of longitudinal continuity. Besides, we would like to insist that these all management effort should be focused on prevention of disease and occupational health education of employees.

이 연구의 목적은 초등학생의 과학, 공학, 기술에 대한 인식과 과학자, 공학자, 기술자에 대한 이미지를 조사하는 데 있다. 본 연구에서는 조사도구로 Fralick et al. (2009)의 연구에서 사용된 DAST(Draw a scientist test)를 Draw a scientist at work와 Draw a engineer at work를 수정하고 변형하여 사용하였으며, 경남 G시의 S초등학교 6학년 209명을 대상으로 조사하였다. 연구 결과에 의하면, 초등학생들이 가지고 있는 과학자의 이미지는 선행연구에서 나타난 전형적인 과학자의 이미지와 비슷하였다. 공학자의 대표적인 이미지는 짧은 머리에 안경을 쓰고 있지 않으며 평상복을 입고 일을 하고 있는 형태이다. 그리고 주로 선박, 로봇, 컴퓨터, 비행기를 설계하거나 만드는 모습을 나타내었다. 기술자의 대표적인 이미지는 짧은 머리에 보호 장갑을 끼고 용접용 마스크를 착용하였다. 기술자는 자동차, 로봇 등을 고치거나 렌치, 드라이버, 용접기 등을 이용하여 일하는 모습을 나타내었다. 학생들은 공학과 기술을 학문으로 인식하지 못하는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한, 공학, 기술의 연구 분야, 연구 방법에 대해서도 다양하게 인식하지 못하였다.

In order to protect Rescue 119 workers exposed on the spot from potential infection, this study identified their awareness and practices of infection control so that it could help preventing them from infection and also provide basic materials necessary for pre-hospital infection control. This study applied questionnaire survey to total 215 Rescue 119 workers at fire stations in Jeonbuk province, Jeonnam province and Gwangju city from July 14 to Sept. 14, 2006 for the benefit of data collection. The questionnaire about possible associations between awareness and practices of infection control consisted of total 46 times across 6 categories such as washing hands during emergency activities ; fluid therapy and injection ; respirator maintenance; individual hygienics ; disinfectant supplies and equipments maintenance ; and control of infectious wastes. And collected data were processed using SPSS statistic program to analyze frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, Pearson's correlation coefficient, t-test and one-way ANOVA. As a result, this study came to the following conclusions : In terms of awareness about infection control, our respondents showed highest awareness about infectious waste control, and also showed highest level of practices in washing hands during emergency activities. Throughout all domains, awareness means were higher than practice means. In particular, infectious waste control was the domain of significant differences between awareness and practices. In terms of associations between awareness and individual characteristics, it was found that female rescue worker group and hospital/general hospital career group (before joining the Rescue 119) showed significantly higher awareness on statistic level. In regard to associations between individual characteristics and practices, it was found that female rescue worker group showed higher level of practices than male group on statistic level. This study also analyzed correlations between rescue workers' awareness and practice of infection control. As a result, it was found that the higher awareness was in correlations with the higher practices across all 6 domains including washing hands. In addition, the higher awareness of a questionnaire item was in significantly positive correlations with the higher practice of other items. However, our respondents showed high awareness about anti-infection, but low practices in reality. This indicates necessity of devising possible solutions to improve the practices as much as awareness. Especially, it was noted that major reasons for insufficient practices of infection control guideline come from unhabituated practices and lack of supports for infection-preventing supplies and protective device (mask, etc). Hence, it is necessary to provide more infection-preventing supplies for local rescue workers sufficiently, in parallel with steady habituation of infection control. Furthermore, it is required to manage and study infection control policies even at pre-hospital step in efforts for effective infection control, education and activities.

이 연구의 목적은 초등학교 예비교사들을 대상으로 미세플라스틱 배출원에 대한 인식을 조사하는 것이다. 연구 참여자는 학부 남학생 75명과 여학생 91명이었다. 미세플라스틱 배출원에 관한 선행연구들을 참조하여 15문항으로 구성된 설문지를 개발한 후, 전문가 검토 및 예비연구를 통해 수정하였다. 설문 결과, 응답자의 80% 이상이 이전에 뉴스, 인터넷, TV 등을 통해 미세플라스틱에 대해 들어본 경험이 있다고 하였다. 그러나 실험복, 물티슈, 황사용마스크, 종이컵 등이 미세플라스틱 원인물질로 제조된 것을 인지하지 못하는 경향이 있었다. 미세플라스틱 오염이 예상되는 상황을 묻는 설문에서도 '달리는 자동차의 타이어가 마모된다'와 '바닥에 붙어있는 껌이 작아진다'에 대한 선택 빈도가 상대적으로 낮았다. 이러한 결과는 상당수 예비교사들이 합성섬유나 합성고무가 미세플라스틱의 배출원임을 인지하지 못한다는 것을 보여준다. 미세플라스틱 문제에 대한 태도에서는 성별 차이가 나타났다. 즉, 여 예비교사들은 관련 문제에 더 관심을 보이고, 해결에 대한 참여 의지를 더 보이며, 미세플라스틱 관련 교육의 필요성을 더욱 절감하였다. 향후 과학교육을 위한 함의를 논의하였다.
