연구목적 본 연구에서는 기능성 위장질환(Functional gastrointestinal disorder, 이하 FGID)이 동반된 정신질환자들의 정신사회적 특성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 일 대학병원 정신건강의학과 외래를 방문한 환자를 대상으로 Rome III questionnaire - Korean version에 따라 FGID를 선별하여 144명의 자료를 분석하였다. 인구학적 요인을 조사하였으며, 정신사회적 요인을 평가하기 위해 Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-15, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Korean, State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory를 사용하였다. 통계분석은 독립표본 t-검정(independent t-test)과 교차분석(chi-square test)을 사용하였다. 결 과 FGID에 따른 집단간 비교에서 학력에 따른 차이가 나타났다(${\chi}^2=10.139$, p=0.017). FGID 집단에 따른 정신질환의 차이에서는 과민성 대장증후군(Irritable bowel syndrome, 이하 IBS) 집단에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. (${\chi}^2=11.408$, p=0.022) IBS 집단은 불안(t=-3.106, p=0.002), 우울증상(t=-2.105, p=0.037), 신체증상(t=-3.565, p<0.001), 특성분노(t=-3.683, p<0.001), 분노-억제(t=-2.463, p=0.015), 분노-표출(t=-2.355, p=0.020)에서 높은 점수를 나타냈다. 기능성 소화불량(Functional dyspepsia) 집단에서는 불안(t=-4.893, p<0.001), 우울증상(t=-3.459, p<0.001), 신체증상(t=-7.906, p<0.001), 특성분노(t=-4.148, p<0.001), 상태분노(t=-2.181, p=0.031), 분노-억제(t=-2.684, p=0.008), 분노-표출(t=-3.005, p=0.003)지표가 유의하게 높았다. 비미란성 위식도 역류증(Nonerosive reflux disease) 집단에서는 불안(t=-4.286, p<0.001), 우울증상(t=-3.402, p<0.001), 신체증상(t=-7.162, p<0.001), 특성분노(t=-2.994, p=0.003), 상태분노(t=-2.259, p=0.025), 분노-억제(t=-2.772, p=0.006), 분노-표출(t=-2.958, p=0.004)에서 유의미하게 높은 수준을 나타냈다. 결 론 본 연구에서는 정신질환자에서 FGID의 유병률이 매우 높고, 다양한 정신사회적 변인들이 이에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이러한 정신의학적 접근은 FGID 환자를 더 잘 이해하고 치료하는데 있어서 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis in elementary school students according to the body mass index. Methods: This study was conducted as cross-sectional descriptive research using a structured questionnaire. Data were collected from 6,398 students at 15 elementary schools located in Y City in Korea. The cross-sectional survey used the Korean version of International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate the odds ratios of body mass index. Results: The symptom prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis in the last 12 months was 12.4%, 49.5%, and 24.5%, respectively. The symptom prevalence of asthma was significantly higher in the obesity group. The number of those without any asthma symptom in lifetime was significantly smaller in the overweight (OR=0.70, p=.004) and obesity (OR=0.57, p=.005) groups than in the healthy weight group. Conclusion: These results suggest that asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis prevention programs for elementary school students should include weight control intervention.

The excessive exposure to powered hand tools can cause damage to nerves, impair blood circulation, and musculoskeletal damage. The symptoms associated with hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) include numbness, tingling, pain and subsequent reduced dexterity of the hands. This study was performed to report the prevalence of the HAVS and evaluate its related factors among the workers using powered hand tools. Total 282 workers in 11 plants of Kyungki and Inchon areas were examined. A standard symptom questionnaire was developed and administered to collect information on personal characteristics, work history, operating conditions, tool characteristics, and subjective symptoms of HAVS. Mean values (standard deviations) of the age, the duration of powered hand tools used, and the daily hours using powered hand tools were 38.3(8.9) years, 79.3(62.2) months and 6.0(2.6) hours, respectively. 132 workers(46.8%) showed vibration-induced white finger symptoms according to the Taylor-Pelmear classification, and 30 workers(10.6%) were interfered with the work. The results of a multiple logistic regression analysis controlling for age and daily working hours showed that smoking, work duration, weight of tools, and continuous work over 2 hours were significantly associated with the symptom of HAVS.

Objectives : To investigate the effect of overtime work on fatigue symptoms among Korean female workers. Methods : A total of 1,875 subjects were analyzed using the structured questionnaire, which was composed of overtime work, fatigue symptom, and background characteristics. Data analysis included multiple regression to test for a relationship of overtime work with fatigue symptom while statistically controlling for demographic and occupational variables. Results : Overtime work was more common in those with shorter work years of 3 or less than in those with longer work years. Overtime work was more popular in day workers than in shift workers. No significant difference of smoking and drinking state was observed between two groups. Subjective fatigue symptoms were significantly higher in overtime workers than in workers without overtime work. In a multiple regression analysis with significant control variables, overtime work was associated with 0.31 more fatigue symptom(p<0.001). Conclusion : Our findings suggest that overtime work may increase risks for fatigue symptom. Therefore, preventive strategies will be needed to control the negative effect of overtime work on health status of female workers.

A cross-sectional study was conducted in an effort to investigate the effect of air pollution on respiratory symptoms. Two groups of female aged more than 20 living in the unpolluted rural area of Taebul (n=159) and urban area of Taegu (n=140) were selected. The ATS-DLD-78 questionnaire was translated into Korean and administered with minor modification. The proportion of smoker was less than 1% in both area. Exposure to smoking and higher educational level were more frequent in Taegu. Age-adjusted prevalence rates of 'chronic cough', 'chronic sputum', 'wheezing', and 'dyspnea' were higher in Taegu than in Taebul. In particular, the prevalence rate of 'chronic sputum' in Taegu was found to be higher, which was statistically significant. Exposure to smoking and education level were not concerned with all respiratory symptom prevalence rates. In conclusion, this study Indicates that an urban factor is related to the rates of respiratory symptoms in Korea.
