본 연구는 요양보호사의 조직특성 직무태도 등에 따라 수급자인 노인들이 인식하게 되는 만족정도는 달라지게 되며, 이들의 직무스트레스를 줄여야 할 필요성이 있음에 따라 요양보호사들이 인식하는 직무스트레스 수준에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이에 서울지역 방문요양센터에 소속되어 근무하는 요양보호사들을 대상으로 업무자율성, 보상, 교육과 개발, 구성원 상호관계 등의 하위요인으로 구성된 조직특성 요인이 직무스트레스의 인식수준에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석하였다. 분석결과 방문요양센터에 소속되어 근무하는 요양보호사는 근무시간이 짧을수록, 월급여가 많을수록, 업무자율성이 보장될수록, 구성원들과의 상호관계성이 좋을수록 직무스트레스에 대한 인식은 긍정적으로 하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 방문요양센터 운영자들은 요양보호사들의 근무조건인 1일 근무시간과 급여수준에 대한 개선 뿐만 아니라 직장에서의 구성원 상호간의 유대감을 증진시킬 수 있는 다양한 형태의 개선 방안에 대해 보다 많은 관심을 가져야 하며, 통제와 규제보다는 요양보호사들이 업무에 대해 책임을 갖고 자유롭게 수행할 수 있도록 조직환경을 개선해야 할 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구는 계속구강건강관리가 잘 이루어지지 않는 근로자를 대상으로 계획된 행동이론에 기초하여 구강질환이 있을 경우 치과치료이용을 하려는 의도에 미치는 요인을 조사를 하였다. 이에 치과의료를 이용할 의도를 높일뿐만 아니라 실제 치과의료 이용으로 실행될 수 있는 방안을 마련하는데 기초자료로 쓰이고자 시도되었다. 연구대상상자는 1,016명 중 현재 치과치료를 받는 환자 53명과 지난 6개월간 치과방문을 경험한 사람 355명을 제외한 총 608명을 대상으로 조사 분석하여 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 1. TPB 변인과 의도의 상관관계는 행동에 대한 태도, 주관적 규범, 인지된 행동통제의 순으로 나타났으나 인지된 행동통제는 유의하지 않았다. 2. 치과의료이용 의도에 영향을 미치는 일반적 특성은 경제상태로서 여유가 있다고 생각할수록 의도가 높게 나타났으며, TPB 변인 중에서는 치과의료이용과 관련된 행동에 대한 태도와 주관적 규범이 유의한 영향을 주었다. 3. 일반 선형회귀분석한 결과 모형의 설명력은 21%로 나타났다. 구강질환이 있을 경우 치과의료를 이용할 의도가 높다고 하더라도 실제 상황에서는 행동으로 실행이 되지 않을 가능성이 높을 것으로 간주된다. 하지만 의도가 낮은 사람에 비하여 의도가 높은 사람이 실제 치과의료이용을 할 가능성이 높다. 따라서 의도에 영향을 주는 치과의료이용에 관련된 태도와 주관적 규범이 긍정적으로 형성되며 인식할 수 있도록 구강보건교육을 통하여 동기부여가 되어야 하겠다. 그렇게 위해서는 산업장 구강검진이 일회성 형식에 그치지 않으며 구강질환자는 검진치의사의 강력한 치료권고를 통하여 치과치료를 받을 수 있도록 유도하여야 하고, 계속구강건강관리프로그램이 전면적으로 실행되면서 활성화되어 근로자들의 구강건강증진이 이루어져야 하겠다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the experience and meaning of falls among care workers caring for the elderly. Methods: The participants comprised 10 care workers in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. The data collection period was from September to November 2020, and the data were obtained through individual in-depth interviews. The collected data were analyzed using the content analysis method of qualitative research. The main interview questions were as follows: First, in the event of a fall, "can you tell us about your experience and how you dealt with the fall?; second, "can you tell us about your role and the role of family members or the center that manages falls that occur outside of nursing visits.", third, "can you tell us about the difficulties in managing falls based on your experience?", and fourth, "how are falls that occur during nursing visits managed?" Results: As a result of analyzing the experiences of nursing care workers of falls while caring for elders in their homes, five main themes were derived. These were understanding the characteristics of the elderly at home, understanding possible emergency situations, providing caring services, minimizing physical harm, and delivering clear information. Conclusion: A significant finding of this study was that care workers who visit and provide care to elders at home confirmed the need for standard guidelines on appropriate responses in the event of a fall at home and the importance of managing emergencies arising from falls among elders at home. These results highlight the need for the development of emergency response education programs, such as programs on fall care among nurses and care workers who provide care to the elderly, and for enhanced understanding of the fall risk of elders who live at home.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the relationship among musculoskeletal problems, sleep problems, and self-rated mental health of home-care workers. Methods: Data were collected from 447 home-care workers spanning three occupation types: life supporters for the elderly, home-visit caregivers, and life supporters for the disabled. Musculoskeletal problems, sleep problems, and self-rated mental health were assessed using structured questionnaires. Factors affecting self-rated mental health were analyzed using multiple regression. SPSS was used to test the mediating effects of sleep problems on musculoskeletal problems and self-rated mental health. Results: Among the general characteristics, the variables that showed significant differences in musculoskeletal problems were monthly income level, caring-related career duration, weekly working hours, and occupation type; and the variable that showed significant differences in self-rated mental health was occupation type. Among the occupation types, supporters for the disabled had the most musculoskeletal problems and the lowest self-rated mental health. Musculoskeletal problems among home-care workers had a direct negative effect on self-rated mental health and indirect negative effects on sleep problems. Conclusion: Measures are needed to reduce the differences in working conditions and health status among the occupation types of home-care workers. Considering the relevance between the health issues of home-care workers, the development of a carefully designed health promotion strategy is required.
