Industrial shift workers feels suffer mental stresses which are caused by unfamiliar day sleep, noisy environment, sleeping disorder by bright light, unusual contacts with family, difficulty in meeting with friends or having formal social meetings and other social limitations such as the use of transportation. Such stresses influence health of the workers negatively. Thus the health promotion policy for shift workers should be made considering the workers' ways of living and shift work specially. This study attempted to provide basic information for development of the health promotion program for industrial shift workers by examining predictive factors influencing health promotion behaviors of those workers. In designing the study, three power generation plants located in Pusan and south Kyungsang province were randomly selected and therefrom 280 workers at central control, boiler and turbine rooms and environmental chemistry parts whose processes require shift works were sampled as subjects of the study. Data were collected two times from September 17 to October 8, 1999 using questionnaires with helps of safety and health managers of the plants. The questionnaires were distributed through mails or direct visits. Means for the study included the measurement tool of health promotion behavior provided by Park(1995), the tool of self-efficacy measurement by Suh(1995), the tool of internal locus of control measurement by Oh(1987), the measurement tool of perceived health state by Park(1995) and the tool of social support measurement by Paek(1995). The collected data were analyzed using SPSS program. Controlling factors of the subjects were evaluated in terms of frequency and percentage ratio Perceived factors and health promotion behaviors of the subjects were done so in terms of mean and standard deviation, and average mark and standard deviation, respectively. Relations between controlling and perceived factors were analyzed using t-test and ANOVA and those between perceived factors and the performance of health promotion behaviors, using Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. The performance of health promotion behaviors was tested using t-test, ANOVA and post multi-comparison (Scheffe test). Predictive factors of health promotion behavior were examined through the Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis. Results of the study are summarized as follows. 1. The performance of health promotion behaviors by the subjects was evaluated as having the value of mean, $161.27{\pm}26.73$ points(min.:60, max.:240) and average mark, $2.68{\pm}0.44$ points(min.:1, max.:4). When the performance was analyzed according to related aspects, it showed the highest level in harmonious relation with average mark, $3.15{\pm}.56$ points, followed by hygienic life($3.03{\pm}.55$), self-realization ($2.84{\pm}.55$), emotional support($2.73{\pm}.61$), regular meals($2.71{\pm}.76$), self-control($2.62{\pm}.63$), health diet($2.62{\pm}.56$), rest and sleep($2.60{\pm}.59$), exercise and activity($2.53{\pm}.57$), diet control($2.52{\pm}.56$) and special health management($2.06{\pm}.65$). 2. In relations between perceived factors of the subjects(self-efficacy, internal locus of control, perceived health state) and the performance of health promotion behaviors, the performance was found having significantly pure relations with self-efficacy (r=.524, P=.000), internal locus of control (r=.225, P=.000) and perceived health state(r=.244, P=.000). The higher each evaluated point of the three factors was, the higher the performance was in level. 3. When relations between the controlling factors(demography-based social, health-related, job-related and human relations characteristics) and the performance of health promotion behaviors were analyzed, the performance showed significant differences according to marital status (t=2.09, P= .03), religion(F=3.93, P= .00) and participation in religious activities (F=8.10, P= .00) out of demography-based characteristics, medical examination results (F=7.20, P= .00) and methods of the collection of health knowledge and information(F=3.41, P= .01) and methods of desired health education(F=3.41, P= .01) out of health-related characteristics, detrimental factors perception(F=4.49, P= .01) and job satisfaction(F=8.41, P= .00) out of job-related characteristics and social support(F=14.69, P= .00) out of human relations characteristics. 4. The factor which is a variable predicting best the performance of health promotion behaviors by the subjects was the self-efficacy accounting for 27.4% of the prediction, followed by participation in religious activities, social support, job satisfaction, received health state and internal locus of control in order all of which totally account for 41.0%. In conclusion, the predictive factor which most influence the performance of health promotion behaviors by shift workers was self-efficacy. To promote the sense, therefore, it is necessary to develop the nursing intervention program considering predictive factors as variables identified in this study. Further industrial nurses should play their roles actively to help shift workers increase their capability of self-management of health.

본 연구는 학업중단 북한이탈 청소년의 한국사회 적응과정과 사회적 지지의 경험에 관한 심층적 이해를 제시하고, 사회복지 및 거시적 차원에서 적응을 위한 적극적인 지원과 해결방안을 모색하는데 그 목적이 있었다. 본 연구는 사례연구조사를 실시하여 '범주화' 하였고, '학업중단 북한이탈 청소년의 초기적응과정 네트워크' 를 도출하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과로는 첫째, 연구참여자들은 경제적 적응을 제일 힘겨워하였고, 경제적 적응은 학업적응과 매우 긴밀한 연관성을 나타내었다. 연구참여자들은 남한거주기간 1.5년 미만의 초기적응과정에 있는 20대 초반의 학업중단 청소년들이었다. 따라서 탈북과정에서 초래된 학업격차와 연령차로 인하여 정규교육체계에 편입하지 못하였고, 취업시 학력조건이 미달되어 단순노동직의 저임금과 과잉근무에 시달리며 잦은 이직과 무직의 경험을 반복하였다. 둘째, 연구참여자들은 인간관계를 적응과정의 제일 중요한 핵심요소로 인식하였고, 인간관계에서 얻어지는 사회적 지지는 한국사회 적응에 긍정적인 기능을 하였다. 특히 남한사람들과의 교류는 정보적·평가적 지지를 얻을 수 있는 귀한 자원으로 인식되었다. 이러한 정보적·평가적 지지는 연구참여자들의 언어 적응을 돕고 문화적 이질감을 완화하였으며, 심리적 적응의 부정적 측면을 개선해 주었다. 한편 북한이탈주민과의 교류는 '배울 것이 없다' 는 이유로 멀리하였지만, 북한이탈주민 중심의 친밀한 관계에서 오는 정서적 지지는 연구참여자들의 적응과 심리적 안정에 매우 긍정적인 기능을 담당하였다. 셋째, 연구참여자들은 신체건강 및 심리적 적응에 있어 큰 어려움을 경험하였다. 지병은 치료받지 못하여 악화되었고, 여성의 자각증상은 매우 높았다. 새로운 환경에서 밀려오는 스트레스는 심리적 적응에 부정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 연구참여자들은 자신감부족, 대인기피, 소외감을 경험하였고, 스트레스가 만성적인 경우 좌절감과 패배감을, 심각한 경우에는 분노와 우울증상을 경험하였다. 한편 연구참여자들은 가족과 함께 남한에 거주하였으므로 '가족을 고향에 버리고 왔다' 는 죄책감이나 '혼자' 라는 외로움이 낮았고, 민주주의 사회에서의 자유감과 안전감에 높은 만족도를 보였다. 이상의 연구결과를 근거로, 학업중단 북한이탈 청소년의 사회적 지지체계의 강화, 자립·자활을 위한 경제적 지원정책 제안, 학업적응 지원을 위한 교육정책 마련 등에 관한 구체적인 해결방향을 제언하였다.

In the age of global communication, more human exchange is extended at the grass-roots level. In the old days, language policy and language planning was based on one nation-state with one language. But high waves of globalizaiton have allowed extended human flow of exchange beyond one's national border on a daily basis. Under such circumstances, homogeneity in Japan may not allow Japanese to speak and communicate only in Japanese and only with Japanese people. In Japan, an advisory report was made to the Ministry of Education in June 1996 about what education should be like in the 21st century. In this report, an introduction of English at public elementary schools was for the first time made. A basic policy of English instruction at the elementary school level was revealed. With this concept, English instruction is not required at the elementary school level but each school has their own choice of introducing English as their curriculum starting April 2002. As Baker, Colin (1996) indicates the age of three as being the threshold diving a child becoming bilingual naturally or by formal instruction. Threre is a movement towards making second language acquisition more naturalistic in an educational setting, developing communicative competence in a more or less formal way. From the lesson of the Canadian immersion success, Genesee (1987) stresses the importance of early language instruction. It is clear that from a psycho-linguistic perspective, most children acquire basic communication skills in their first language apparently effortlessly and without systematic and formal instruction during the first six or seven years of life. This innate capacity diminishes with age, thereby making language learning increasingly difficult. The author, being a returnee, experienced considerable difficulty acquiring L2, and especially achieving native-like competence. There will be many hurdles to conquer until Japanese students are able to reach at least a communicative level in English. It has been mentioned that English is not taught to clear the college entrance examination, but to communicate. However, Japanese college entrance examination still makes students focus more on the grammar-translation method. This is expected to shift to a more communication stressed approach. Japan does not have to aim at becoming an official bilingual country, but at least communicative English should be taught at every level in school Mito College is a small two-year co-ed college in Japan. Students at Mito College are basically notgood at English. It has only one department for business and economics, and English is required for all freshmen. It is necessary for me to make my classes enjoyable and attractive so that students can at least get motivated to learn English. My major target is communicative English so that students may be prepared to use English in various business settings. As an experiment to introduce more communicative English, the author has made the following syllabus design. This program aims at training students speak and enjoy English. 90-minute class (only 190-minute session per week is most common in Japanese colleges) is divided into two: The first half is to train students orally using Graded Direct Method. The latter half uses different materials each time so that students can learn and enjoy English culture and language simultaneously. There are no quizes or examinations in my one-academic year program. However, all students are required to make an original English poem by the end of the spring semester. 2-6 students work together in a group on one poem. Students coming to Mito College, Japan have one of the lowest English levels in all of Japan. However, an attached example of one poem made by a group shows that students can improve their creativity as long as they are kept encouraged. At the end of the fall semester, all students are then required individually to make a 3-minute original English speech. An example of that speech contest will be presented at the Convention in Seoul.
