Occupational therapists (OTs) interface patients much longer than other healthcare workers and, thus, are likely to experience a high level of stress because of work, physical fatigue, lack of professional knowledge and skills, and problematic relationships with patients, etc. This study examined the quality of the lives of OTs and the workplace which is an influential factor. This study recruited 200 OTs and used a professional quality of life scale. We found that, only 27.0% experience high levels of compassion satisfaction (CS) and 80.5% and 74.5% experience high or average levels of burnout (BO) and secondary traumatic stress (STS) of compassion fatigue (CF), respectively. We discovered that CS was higher in temporary employees; and CF was higher in females, subjects in their 30s; and those working at general hospitals. Also, BO was higher in those with one to five years of clinical experience and regular employees. Last, STS was higher in the group without stable income. This study verified that clinical experience is a critical factor that reduces BO, and excessive workload outside of treatment lowers the professional quality of life. This suggests that work environment and regulations related to OTs must be improved to increase CS and reduce CF.

An activity of nature experience guidance can be considered as an educational event, thus, I regarded the volunteers as the guides of nature experience and examined closely their guidance activities as a participant to provide in-depth description about their behavior, context, and changes in ethnographic view. In this study I raised two following questions; 1) how have the guides been changed through two types of activities and 2) what problems are brought up in their context. First, the volunteers acquired awareness and sensitivity to the total environment and its related problems during course of training, even though they were initially motivated to participate in training course for their children. Second, guidance activity improved their basic understanding of and views toward the environment, awareness of the total environment, attitudes to environment, skills in solving environmental problems and participation levels in working towards resolution of environmental problems. However, they had difficulties in communication with each other and since nature experience guides are wives and mothers they worked against time and needed support from their family. Further studies will continue on analysis of training programs for the guides to improve and to contribute guide's positive changes to non-formal environmental education.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine about dental hygienists' myofascial pain syndrome, lower back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), medial and lateral epicondylitis, hand-arm vibration syndrom and work-related musculoskeletal syndrome (WMSD) experience and hygienists' posture, motion. Methods: The self-administered questionnaire was surveyed from June 1 to September 30 of 2018 targeting 280 dental hygienists in Gyeongnam province and 266 dental hygienists' answers were analyzed. Results: The average daily working hours of a dental hygienist was more than eight hours 59.0%, with an average of 33 patients per day. The average number of patients who receive treatment for more than 30 minutes is 15. The angle of motion of the subjective evaluation was above 60%. Medical position and form of movement were more than 50% above the standard level. Symptoms of posture and motion that cause WMSD were hand-arm vibration syndrome 68.1%, myofascial pain syndrome 58.6%, lower back pain 51.1%, CTS 50.4% in order. Experience WMSD related symptoms which dental hygienists experience were myofascial pain syndrome 92.9%, CTS 57.9%, lower back pain 56.4%, medial and lateral epicondylitis 37.2%, hand-arm vibration syndrome 24.4%. Conclusion: The above results showed the posture and motion of dental hygienists and were found that the experience rate which dental hygienists experience WMSD of myofascial pain syndrome, Lower back pain, and CTS was significantly more than 56%.

Scenario-based learning (SBL) has been used in a variety of training situations across different disciplines. Despite its seemly widespread use in construction management discipline, very few attempts have been made to explore its effectiveness and the respective students' learning experience. Using a survey research design, this study aims to investigate students' perceptions on SBL approach in construction management courses. The specific objectives are: (i) to identify the characteristics of a favourable SBL environment, and (ii) to explore the students' learning experience and effectiveness of the SBL approach. The results show that the four characteristics of a favourable SBL environment are: effective team formulation, constant engagement with lecturer, working in a group, and incorporation of motivational incentive for participation. The students really appreciated the opportunities to apply concepts learnt in the lectures in their SBL group work. Also, they perceived that the SBL approach is effective in developing their reflective and critical thinking skills, analytic and problem-solving skills and their ability to work as a team. These findings should facilitate more critical approaches to similar form of teaching methods.

본 연구의 목적은 성폭력 상담자 대리외상 경험의 심층내용을 탐색하고 이에 대한 개입전략을 개발하기 위함이다. 이를 위해 성폭력 상담 현장에서 3년이상 근무한 12명의 성폭력 상담자를 대상으로 심층 면접을 실시하였다. 그리고 개념도(concept mapping) 방법을 활용하여 성폭력 상담자 대리외상 경험에 대한 내용 탐색과, 그 개념 구조를 확인하였다. 그 결과, 성폭력 상담자 대리외상 경험에 관한 60개의 핵심 문장을 추출하였다. 이후 심층 면접 참여자와 같은 조건의 평정 참여자 19명에게 핵심 문장을 분류하고 평정하도록 한 뒤, 다차원적 척도법과 군집분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 x축의 부정적 인식차원과 심리·정서적 차원, y축의 개인 내적 차원과 행동적 차원이 나타났고, 일에 대한 몰입과 회의감, 정서적으로 동화되는 경험, 성에 대한 과민성, 남성에 대한 경계 증가, 안전감 위협이라는 5개의 군집이 나타났다. 이는 성폭력 상담자가 경험하는 성폭력 상담자 대리외상의 내용을 범주화하여 파악할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하였을 뿐만 아니라, 이러한 결과들을 토대로 그동안 국내 성폭력 상담자 대리외상에 대한 양적인 연구에 필요성이 대두 되었던 결과를 다시 확인 하였고, 성폭력 상담자 대리외상 척도 개발의 필요성을 확신하는 결과였다.

작업공정 특성상 작업환경이 열악하다고 판단되는 조선소 근로자의 구강보건증진과 구강보건교육계획, 산업구강보건정책 및 제도 개선에 기여하고자 편의표본추출법에 의해 선정한 전남 지역 조선소 및 협력업체 10곳에 근무하는 조선소 근로자를 대상으로 구강보건교육 경험에 따른 구강보건인식의 차이를 알아보기 위하여 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 연구대상자 310명 중 구강보건교육경험이 없는 근로자는 89.4%이었고, 구강보건교육 무경험자는 구강보건 지식정도, 인식정도, 관심정도, 중요정도가 낮은 것으로 나타났으며 구강보건 지식정도, 인식정도, 관심정도, 중요정도 간에는 상관관계가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 구강보건교육 무경험자가 구강보건교육을 받지 못하는 이유는 기회가 없었기 때문인 것으로 나타났고 선호하는 교육내용은 치아우식증예방 및 치료법, 선호하는 교육방법은 치의사의 강연인 것으로 나타났으며 구강보건교육 경험이 있는 근로자일수록 구강보건교육 경험이 없는 근로자보다 구강보건교육에 참여할 의향이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of workplace bullying experience and resilience on the organizational socialization among new graduate nurses. Methods: This is a descriptive correlational study with 148 new graduate nurses working in the hospitals in B city of Korea. The instruments that were used for measuring main variables were the negative acts questionnaire-revised (NAQ-R), the Korean version of the Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC), and the measurement tool for new nurses' organizational socialization. Results: The prevalence of workplace bullying was 22.3%, and the subjects reported moderate level of resilience. Significant negative correlations between workplace bullying and resilience, and organizational socialization were found. A significant positive correlation was found between resilience and organizational socialization. As a result of multiple regression analysis, resilience, workplace bullying, and a working in desired unit turned out to be variables that explained new graduate nurses' organizational socialization (adjusted $R^2=.514$, p<.001). Conclusion: The results of this study suggested that new graduate nurses with higher resilience and less experience of workplace bullying would show higher organizational socialization. Further research is needed to identify the regulation effect of resilience in between workplace bullying and organizational socialization.
