Objectives: A rapid increase in the population of migrant workers in Korea has brought new challenges regarding the possible effects of acculturation on health. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of acculturation- and work-related psychosocial factors on work-related musculoskeletal disorders among migrant female workers living in Korea. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used. A translated, structured questionnaire was administrated to 156 southeastern Asian female full-time workers living in Korea. Results: About 35% of the participants experienced some type(s) of work-related musculoskeletal disorder(s), which were more prevalent in Vietnamese women than in Thai and Filipino women. Women who preferred to maintain their own heritage and to reject the host country heritage were at risk for work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Conclusion: Acculturation strategy and nationality were found to be significant factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Health professionals need to accommodate acculturation contexts into risk assessment and intervention development for work-related musculoskeletal disorders separately for different nationalities.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a moderate-intensity, walking exercise program on the body composition, blood lipids and psychosocial outcomes in postmenopausal obese women. Methods: With a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test design, a total of 36 postmenopausal obese women was recruited in 2 metropolitan areas by convenience sampling. Sixteen women participated in 1 hour of moderate-intensity walking exercise 5 days per week for 3 months and 20 women did not. Cardiovascular risk factors include body composition and blood lipids. Body composition was measured as body mass index, % body fat, and waist/hip ratio; Blood lipids were measured with total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL and LDL; psychosocial outcomes were evaluated by self-esteem and depression. Results: Over 3 months, the score of self-esteem increased and depression decreased in the exercise group relative to the control group. However, there were no significant differences in body composition and blood lipids. Conclusions: This study suggests that 3 months of moderate-intensity exercise training can improve psychosocial outcomes but further studies are needed to replicate walking exercise on physiologic variables among postmenopausal obese women. These findings are of public health relevance and add a new facet to the growing literature on the health benefits of moderate exercise.

Objectives : To identify the psychosocial well-being status in a rural community, and examine the association between the psychosocial well-being status and adverse lipid profile. Method : In 2001, we surveyed 575 subjects in Yangpyoung, Kyounggido, including medical examination, fasting-blood sample and questionnaires for the psychosocial well-being status, socioeconomic position and behavioral risk factors. The logistic regression analysis was used to examine explanatory factors of the psychosocial well-being status, and association between the psychosocial well-being status and adverse lipid profiles. Result : The association between the psychosocial well-being status and adverse lipid profiles was not strong. The total cholesterol and triglyceridelevels were associated with psychosocial well-being. The adjusted odds ratio for moderate psychosocial well-being relating to total cholesterol was 1.90 (95%CI, 0.82-4.04), but that for triglyceride was 0.65 (95%CI, 0.36-1.21). The HDL-Cholesterol and LOL-Cholesterol level were not associated with the psychosocial well-being status. Conclusion : The total cholesterol and psychosocial well-being status were weakly associated, but the between the psychosocial well-being status and adverse lipid profiles were not consistent.

연구목적 : 산후우울증은 여러 요인이 관여하여 발생하며, 이들 위험요인에는 다양한 심리사회적 요인이 포함된다. 이전의 여러 연구결과들을 통해 산후우울증의 위험요인이 알려지고 있지만 아직까지 국내에서 산후우울증을 대상으로 위험요인을 연구한 경우는 별로 없다. 본 연구는 국내에서 산후우울증의 심리사회적 위험요인으로는 어떤 것이 있는지를 알아보기 위하여 시행되었다. 방법 : 일신기독병원을 방문한 출산 후 약 6~8주에 있는 산모 119명을 대상으로 하였다. 설문지를 이용하여 산후우울증의 위험요인에 대하여 조사하고 산후우울의 정도를 측정하였다. 설문지는 이전 연구들을 통해 알려진 위험요인들을 참고하고 산모들의 스트레스와 관계되는 요인들을 추가하여 작성하였다. 산후 우울증을 평가하기 위해 EPDS(Edinburgh postnatal depression scale)를 번안해서 사용하였고, 산후우울의 정도는 측정된 EPDS 접수에 따라 판단하였다. 결과 : 총 대상 산모 119명 중 EPDS에 의해 산후우울증으로 진단될 수 있는 고위험군은 16명으로, 13.45%의 빈도를 보였다. 고위험군에서는 과거 우울증상을 경험한 경우와 결혼생활에 대한 만족도가 낮은 경우가 저위험군에 비해 유의하게 많았다, 또 과거 우울증상을 경험하였던 군, 임신중 우울과 불안증상을 경험한 군, 임신 및 산욕기동안 스트레스 생활사를 경험하였다고 보고한 군, 결혼생활에 대한 만족도가 낮은 군, 그리고 나이가 많을수록 EPDS 접수가 유의하게 높았다. 반면, 산모의 교육수준, 종교, 직업의 유무, 임신과 출산에 따른 직업중단 희망임신 여부 분만방법 수유방법, 유아의 입원여부, 그리고 기대했던 유아의 성별 및 실제 유아의 성별은 우울증상에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 결론 : 이상의 결과로 볼 때 산후우울증은 산후에 비교적 높은 빈도로 발생 가능하며, 우울증의 과거력, 임신동안 우울과 불안증상의 경험, 스트레스 생활사, 결혼생활에 대한 낮은 만족도, 그리고 산모의 연령과 같은 요소들이 산후우울증의 위험요인이었다. 임신과 산욕기 동안 산모에 대하여 적절히 정신의학적으로 개입함으로서 조기에 산후우울증을 발견하고 치료할 수 있으며, 산후우울증으로 인하여 산모와 유아에게 미치는 다양한 손실을 예방할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among physical and psychosocial risk factors, mental health, and presenteeism of South Korean hairdressers. Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of data extracted from the 2014 Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS), conducted by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency. For the present analysis, 920 hairdressers were selected. Based on existing literature, a set of variables was chosen from the KWCS. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the association among risk factors in working place, mental health, and presenteeism. Results: The prevalence of poor mental health and presenteeism was 45.1% and 36.0%, respectively. The results of multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that 'repetitive hand or arm movements,' were significant predictors of mental health (OR: 0.63, CI: 0.41~0.97), and 'role clarity' was a significant predictor of presenteeism (OR: 1.86, CI: 1.10~3.13). Conclusion: Based on these results, we suggest to improve the clarification of the role of hairdressers as a strategy to reduce their presenteeism.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with the mental health-related quality of life (MHQoL) of Korean workers. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 192 Korean pay workers who worked in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk Province, Korea. Data were collected from May 15 to July 2, 2019, through selfreported questionnaires. The survey had a total of 87 questions including individual, organizational, and psychosocial factors. MHQoL was measured using short form-36 version 1. Data were divided into four domains of MHQoL and analyzed using a hierarchical linear regression model. Results: From the hierarchical linear regression analysis, when the psychosocial factors were included in the regression model, the R² change in the four domains of MHQoL increased significantly by 19~47%. A common predicting factor associated with the four domains of MHQoL was identified as perceived stress symptoms. Other factors affecting MHQoL showed slight differences in each domain. Conclusion: Based on the study results, it is necessary to monitor the psychosocial symptoms to improve MHQoL of Korean workers. Considering each factor affecting the four areas of MHQoL, workplace-based interventions to improve MHQoL should be provided to workers.
