이 연구는 비대면 채널에서의 언어폭력이 사회적으로 이슈가 되고 있고 감정노동자들의 업무처리 상황에서 발생하는 언어폭력의 실제 사례들은 무엇이 있는가를 전문가심층면접을 통해 조사하였다. 그리고 실제 통화내용에서 언어폭력의 분포를 음성분석(SA)이라는 새로운 빅데이터 기술을 통해 확인하였다. 연구 결과 첫째 비대면 채널을 통해 일어나는 통화에서 언어폭력은 인격모독, 폭언/욕설, 무리한 요구, (성)희롱과 위협/협박으로 분류된다. 둘째 음성분석을 이용하여 이들 범주 중 가장 높은 빈도를 나타내고 있는 것은 인격모독과 폭언/욕설이었으며 인격모독에서는 하대/반말이 가장 높은 비율을 차지하고 있으며 폭언/욕설에서는 일반적 욕설의 비중이 가장 높았다. 특히 전체 언어폭력 사례에서 일반적 욕설이 차지하는 비율이 가장 높았다. 이 연구를 통해 비대면 채널 상황에서 발생하는 언어폭력의 유형을 정리하였으며 감정노동자들에게 있어서 언어적 스트레스가 직무에 어떠한 영향을 끼치는가에 대한 연구의 필요성을 시사하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the types of violence experienced by small and medium sized hospital nurses. Methods: Data were collected from March 1 to 30, 2017, using self-report questionnaires. Responses from 87 nurses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, $x^2$ test, Fisher's exact test, t-test. Results: The majority of the respondents experienced violence from patients (60.2%), visitors (25.5%), doctors (12.2%), and other staffs (2.0%). Verbal violence (80.5%) and physical threats (74.7%) were more frequent than physical violence (25.3%). Violence occurred throughout the hospital. However, verbal violence ($x^2=20.85$, p=.005) and physical threat ($x^2=20.80$, p=.006) were statistically significant according to the department. Violence occurred most frequently in surgical ward, followed by artificial kidney room, emergency room, and outpatient department. Conclusion: Most nurses are exposed to frequent violence. These results suggest that hospital should improve the respective organizational cultures and develop promotional programs and administrative policies to prevent violence. Also, hospitals should develop of violence intervention policies and education programs and counseling programs for nurses.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the types of violence and coping methods experienced by general hospital nurses. Methods: Data were collected from March 17 to 24, 2014, using self-report questionnaires. Responses from 449 nurses were analyzed. Results: The majority of the respondents experienced violence from patients, visitors, doctors, and other nurses. Verbal violence was more frequent than physical threats and physical violence. Most violence happened in ERs, followed by surgical units, and ICUs. The most frequent response by nurses after violence was an emotional response, especially 'anger' ($4.01{\pm}1.059$). Based on general characteristics, the responses were significant for professional experience (F=2.935, p=.013) and work areas (F=2.290, p=.021). The most frequent coping method for nurses after violence had occurred was to 'just complete their duties as if nothing happened'. Conclusion: Most nurses are exposed to frequent violence, but they feel defenseless. These results suggest that hospital should improve the respective organizational cultures and develop promotional programs and administrative policies to prevent violence. In addition, educational programs should be provided for nurses to improve their attitudes and abilities to cope with violence. Also, hospitals should offer sufficient support, stress reduction programs and counseling programs for nurses.

Purpose: This study describes the development of a violence prevention educational program for elementary school children using empathy (VPEP-E) that teachers can use during class. Methods: Hoffman's theory of empathy and Seels and Richey's (1994) ADDIE model were applied to develop this program. Results: The developed program consisted of eight sessions: "Orientation/definition of violence and empathy", "Types and boundaries of violence", "Look into my feelings", "Say it with a facial expression", "Preventing non-empathic violence due to social prejudice", "Preventing physical violence", "Verbal and online violence prevention: empathic conversation", and "I can do well: review of the whole curriculum". The program was evaluated by 15 elementary school teachers, who considered it to be easily accessible to elementary school students. The final VPEP-E, which will be provided in eight times for 40 minutes each for fifth-grade students, will provide a basis for preventing violence by fostering empathy. Conclusion: We expect the developed educational program to be effective in preventing violence among elementary school students. However, further research involving children from various age groups is needed.

Purpose: This study aims to reveal violence victimization of visiting nurses and investigate the coping and prevention strategies adopted by public institutions. Method: The data were collected over three weeks in 2017 using self-report questionnaires from 237 visiting nurses. Data were collected between August 23 and September 15, 2017. Result: Among the respondents, 74.7% had experienced some types of work-related violence during the past year. Verbal abuse (65.4%) was most common, followed by physical threat (46.8%), sexual abuse (43.9%), and physical violence (5.5%). The nurses perceived the most common cause of violation as socio-economic frustration of the offenders vented out on the nurses. Besides, most reported offenders had mental health problems. The two most effective measures to prevent violence faced by the nurses are terminating visiting services for the offenders and implementing the buddy system, which has rarely been used in practice. Conclusion: These findings show that visiting nurses are exposed to a risk of serious abuse in everyday work life, and the nurses themselves or institutions have failed to handle the violence, showing shaky responses at best. Therefore, it is necessary to establish internal regulations and systems at the institutional level that can help prevent violence against visiting nurses.

본 연구는 서울시 소재 지하철 근로자 876명을 대상으로 직장 내 폭력경험 실태를 파악하고, 직장 내 폭력과 정신건강과의 관련성을 파악하고자 실시하였다. 자료수집은 구조화된 설문지로 웹 사이트에서 하였고, 자료분석은 SPSS 20.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 다중선형회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 직장 내 폭력경험 실태에서 신체적 폭력, 언어적 폭력, 성희롱 및 인격무시 모두에서 폭력의 주체가 '고객'으로 나타났다. 직장 내 폭력과 정신건강과의 관련성에서는 직장 내 폭력유형인 신체적 폭력, 언어적 폭력, 성희롱 및 인격무시 모두에서 정신건강의 하위영역과 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 직장 내 폭력이 정신건강에 미치는 영향에서는 신체적 폭력, 성희롱 및 인격무시에서 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 설명력은 8.3%이었다. 본 연구는 지하철 근로자를 대상으로 직장 내폭력 경험 실태를 파악한 것과 정신건강에 미치는 영향을 통계분석을 통하여 이들 간의 관계를 분석하였다는데 의의가 있다. 향후 지하철 근로자의 직장 내 폭력을 예방할 수 있는 고객응대 가이드라인 마련과 근무환경에 맞는 구체적인 폭력예방대책을 마련하여 적용할 것을 제안한다.

본 연구는 국내 노인요양시설의 기관과 종사자 관련 요인들이 클라이언트의 폭력행위에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴봄으로써, 시설에서 발생하는 클라이언트 폭력의 예방 및 감소 방안 마련의 근거를 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 전국 16개 광역시도 23개 노인요양시설에 근무하는 요양보호사 253명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 종사자의 인구사회적 특성, 학력과 경력, 업무수행 관련특성, 근무환경, 조직특성, 위험관리체계 요인들이 클라이언트 폭력에 미치는 영향에 대한 다중회귀분석을 실시했다. 조사결과 클라이언트 폭력은 신체, 언어, 기타, 재산피해, 성 폭력 순으로 빈번히 발생하는 것으로 보고되었으며, 응답자 소속기관의 절반 정도만 기관위험관리체계를 실시하고 있었다. 모든 유형의 폭력행위에 대한 회귀분석에서는 위험관리절차와 상사리더쉽이 클라이언트 폭력의 감소와 관련 있는 유의한 요인으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 기관 위험관리절차의 개선과 감독자 리더쉽역량 개선에 대한 시사점을 제시하였다.
