Objective : The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect on psychosocial status in elderly women with chronic low back pain after practicing lumbar stabilizing exercise using the gym ball, and to developed and activated on exercise program for healthy senile life. Methods : The subjects were 23 elderly women with chronic low back pain. Mean age of subjects was $67{\pm}13$ years. The lumbar stabilizing exercise using the gym ball was performed 3 times a week during the 8 weeks study period. The research tool were ODI(Oswestry Disability Index), VAS(Visual Analogue Scale), SES(Self-esteem Scale), GDSSF-K(Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form Korea Version), PSS (perceived stress scale), Life satisfaction, and MMSE-K.

본 연구는 일부 소방직공무원들의 스트레스 및 피로 수준을 파악하고, 스트레스와 피로에 관련된 요인을 구명하고자 청주시의 소방공무원 262명을 대상으로 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문지(self-administrated questionnaire)를 이용한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 전체 조사대상 소방공무원들의 사회심리적 스트레스 수준은 잠재적 스트레스군이 12.2%, 고위험스트레스군이 87.5%이었으며, 건강군은 한 명도 없었다 피로수준은 중앙값을 기준으로 구분하였을 경우, 낮은 군이 51.1%, 높은 군이 48.9%를 차지하였다. 단계별 다변량 회귀분석 결과 사회심리적 스트레스에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 주관적인 건강상태, 직장생활만족도, 직무요구도, 음주상태 등이 선정되었으며, 피로수준에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 주관적 건강상태, 규칙적인 운동여부 등이 선정되었다. 이상의 연구결과는 소방공무원의 사회심리학적 스트레스나 피로수준이 대단히 높은 것을 시사하며 여러 요인들이 관여하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 소방공무원들의 스트레스나 피로를 감소시키기기 위한 건강증진프로그램의 개발 및 시행이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 일부 농촌지역 주민을 대상으로 사회심리적 스트레스 수준을 평가하고 관련요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 대상은 전라남도 나주시 4개면에 거주하는 40세에서 70세 사이의 성인 1,806명으로 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련 행태, 사회적 지지 및 인성에 따른 스트레스 수준을 파악하였다. 스트레스 수준은 PWI-SF를 이용하였으며, 사회적 지지는 긍정적 지지, 부정적 지지를 조사하였고, 인성은 A형 행동유형, 통제신념, 자기존중심을 조사하였다. t-검정, 분산분석, 상관분석 및 위계적 다중 회귀분석을 통해 스트레스 수준과 대상자의 여러 가지 특성과의 관련성을 분석하였다.연구결과 건강군이 20.0%(361명), 잠재적 스트레스군 63.4%(1,145명), 고위험 스트레스군 16.6%(300명)였고, PWI는 평균 17.2±9.8였고, 남성이 15.0±8.8, 여성이 18.7±10.1였다. 스트레스는 사회인구학적 특성, 건강관련 행태, 사회적 지지 및 인성에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 남자의 경우 직업이 없는 경우, 수입이 낮은 경우, 비음주자인 경우, 긍정적 지지가 낮은 경우, 부정적 지지가 높은 경우, A형 행동유형의 성향이 강한 경우, 내적 통제 신념이 약한 경우, 자기 존중심이 낮은 경우 스트레스 수준이 유의하게 높았다. 여자의 경우 직업이 없는 경우, 배우자가 없는 경우, 긍정적 지지가 낮은 경우, 부정적 지지가 높은 경우, A형 행동유형의 성향이 강한 경우, 내적 통제 신념이 약한 경우, 자기 존중심이 낮은 경우 스트레스 수준이 유의하게 높았다. 농촌지역 주민에서 사회심리적 스트레스 수준은 사회적 지지 및 인성과 밀접한 관련성이 있었다. 따라서 스트레스 수준을 감소시키기 위해서는 이러한 사회심리적 요인을 고려하는 방안이 개발되어야 한다고 사료된다.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to review the research trends and to identify developmental direction of studies on community interventions according to the ecological model for workers with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risk factors. Methods: Electronic databases including PsycINFO, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library and the reference lists of articles were searched. All articles were assessed in relation to inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 29 researches being reviewed. Each review was critically appraised by two authors using a guideline of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses). Results: Nowadays, interventions in organizational level, integrated and web-based interventions are increasing to prevent CVD risk factors for workers. Even though the importance of psychosocial aspects to prevent CVD, the only 2 studies included psychosocial factors in the outcome variables. Also, 14% among 29 researches were based on theories. Conclusion: Psychosocial factors such as job stress, depression, and emotional labor could be CVD risk factors. Therefore, interventions including psychosocial aspects are needed to prevent workers' CVD risks more effectively. Theory-based interventions are needed to support interventions' effects and to develop the nursing science.

The main purposes of this study were to investigate the content of health behaviors and to examine factors influencing the health behaviors of the elderly. Data regarding the health behavior of 126 people over 65 years of age living in community settings were used. All subjects were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of sociodemographic variables, health behaviors, present chronic disease, subjective health status, a scale for worthy life, a scale for self-esteem, and a scale for loneliness. Health behaviors included 27questions on diet, exercise, stress-coping, smoking, drinking, a regular medical check-up, social activities, etc. The data analysis procedure included stepwise regression using health behavior as the dependent variable, and sociodemographics, illness, and psychosocial variables as independent variables. Stepwise regression revealed that factors such as feelings of worthy life($\beta$＝-0.350, p＜0.0001), communicating with otjers or the lack there of ($\beta$＝0.183, p＜0.05), and self-esteem($\beta$＝0.196, p＜0.05) were independently and significantly associated with health behaviors. For example, individuals who showed higher levels of worthy life and who had confiding relationships with others tended to practice more health behaviors. Subjects who had a higher level of self-esteem showed the same tendency. These results suggest the necessity of a intervention that considers psychosocial aspects should be included in care of the elderly so as to promote positive health behavior.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between psychosocial stress and depression symptoms in dental hygiene freshman. Methods : A self-reported questionnaire of 45 questions was filled out by 207 dental hygiene students in Gyeongnam from December 9 to 11, 2013. Data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 18.0 program for descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA. Results : Religion tended to influence on positive effects on academic stress because those having religion had less academic stress. Economic condition also influenced on physical and mental stress in the students($8.52{\pm}5.63$)(p=0.000). Low economic status influenced on academic problems(p=0.022), family problems(p=0.014), rational relationship problems(p=0.002), and interpersonal problems(p=0.007). There was no significant difference between future problems(p=0.125) and self-efficacy(p=0.076). The physical symptoms included digestive disorders($16.73{\pm}5.37$), cardiac symptoms($14.61{\pm}5.51$), headache($9.46{\pm}3.59$), insomnia($8.32{\pm}3.67$) (p=0.000). The mental symptoms included negative emotions($15.07{\pm}3.94$)(p=0.000). Conclusions : In order to reduce the psychosocial stress symptoms in dental hygiene freshman, it is important to develop the stress debriefing program in the future.

Objectives : To examine whether cumulative chronic stress influences the immune status, and to verify the effect of social support on the relationship between these two dimensions in male manufacturing workers. Methods : A total of 39 workers were recruited for this study. A structured-questionnaire was used to assess general characteristics, job characteristics (work demand and decision latitude), psychosocial distress, and social support. The serum levels of CD4 and CD8 were measured as immune markers, and were collected between 8:00 and 10:00am in order to standardize the markers. Nonparametric statistics were used to estimate the differences between job characteristics and the immune markers. Results : General characteristics, and health-related behaviors, were not associated with CD4, CD8 or CD4/CD8. No relationships were found between job characteristics and the mean levels of immune reactivity. These results were consistent, even after controlling for social support. Social support failed to modify the relationship toward work demand, decision latitude or psychosocial distress to CD4, CD8, and CD4/CD8. Conclusion : Cumulative chronic life stress might not influence the immune status, and the effects of social support on the immune function under chronic stress, may not play a crucial role in modifying the relationships. This implication supports that the effect of stress on the immune function may be determined by the characteristics of that stress. further research should effectively considers the type, magnitude and timing of a stress event, and modifiable factors, such as personality traits, coping style, and hormone excretion levels, on the alteration of immune status.

본 연구는 사무직 남성 근로자들을 대상으로 이들의 직무스트레스 요인 및 사회심리적 요인과 피로수준 간의 관련성을 파악하며, 피로수준에 유의하게 영향을 미치는 요인들을 규명하고자 하였다. 조사대상은 50인 이상 300인 미만 중소규모 사업장 42개소에 근무하고 있는 사무직 남성 근로자 872명으로 하였으며, 자료수집방법은 2009년 2월 1일부터 2009년 4월 30일까지의 기간 동안에 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상자의 직무스트레스 요인에 따른 피로수준은 업무요구도가 높을수록, 업무의 자율성이 낮을수록, 상사의 지지도가 낮을수록 유의하게 높았다. 사회심리적 요인에 따른 피로수준은 자기존중감이 높을수록 유의하게 높았다. 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 피로수준에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 연령, 주관적 건강상태, 근무경력, 결근횟수, 직장생활만족도, 규칙적 운동유무, 수면시간, 외래진료유무, 업무요구도, 상사의 지지도 및 자기존중감이 유의한 변수로 선정되었다. 위와 같은 연구결과를 볼 때, 직장인의 피로수준은 인구사회학적 특성, 직업관련 특성 및 건강관련행위의 실천여부 뿐만 아니라, 직무스트레스 요인 및 사회심리적 요인과도 유의한 관련이 있음을 시사하였다.
