Background: Messaging surrounding skin cancer prevention has previously focused on the general public and emphasized how or when activities should be undertaken to reduce solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure. Generic messages may not be applicable to all settings, and should be tailored to protect unique and/or highly susceptible subpopulations, such as outdoor workers. The primary objective of this study was to develop a set of tailored, practical, harm-reducing sun safety messages that will better support outdoor workers and their employers in reducing the risk of solar UVR exposure and UVR-related occupational illnesses. Methods: We adapted a core set of sun safety messages previously developed for the general population to be more applicable and actionable by outdoor workers and their employers. This study used an integrated knowledge translation approach and a modified Delphi method (which uses a survey-based consensus process) to tailor the established set of sun safety messages for use for outdoor worker populations. Results: The tailored messages were created with a consideration for what is feasible for outdoor workers, and provide users with key facts, recommendations, and tips related to preventing skin cancer, eye damage, and heat stress, specifically when working outdoors. Conclusion: The resulting tailored messages are a set of evidence-based, expert- approved, and stakeholder-workshopped messages that can be used in a variety of work settings as part of an exposure control plan for employers with outdoor workers.

In this era of the knowledge-based economy, the most important issue that we faced is the management of the knowledge workers who is the main source of enterprise. There has been a big issue on the organizational commitment recently which is the idea of how much employees have a positive affection to the enterprise they work for and also how much time, knowledge and energy employees are willing to invest for their company success. Improving this concept would provide a meaningful implication in managing the knowledge workers. This research which is based on previous studies, it aims to control the effect on the organizational commitment by Shared Leadership which puts the job characteristics of knowledge workers into a dominant factor. As a result of the study, among the several job characteristics, autonomy and a feedback had a positive effect on the organizational commitment. Shared Leadership as a moderating variable, has shown an affirmative effect on autonomy, a feedback, and problem solving as an independent variable and on the organizational commitment as a dependent variable. However, related to the job complexity, it did not show a notable influence. Also, the Shared Leadership has shown a favorable impact on the feedback and problem solving, but barely effected on autonomy or job complexity.

This study identified the influence of employees' hybrid start-up intention (intention to start a business while maintaining a job) on the employees' self-determination motivation (intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation) and prior knowledge through the Model of Goal-directed Behavior (MGB). We used a PLS-SEM called SmartPLS 3.0 for 126 valid samples collected by judgement extraction for office workers throughout June 13, 2020 to July 3, 2020, and empirically evaluated the measurement model (internal consistency reliability, convergent and discriminant validity) and the structural model (multicollinearity, determination coefficient, effect size, predictive relevance, etc.). Only the intrinsic motivation for realizing the hybrid start-up goal of office workers had a significant impact on the hybrid start-up attitude and subjective norms, and the prior knowledge of hybrid start-up had a significant impact on the hybrid start-up desire and the hybrid start-up intention. In order to induce hybrid start-ups for workers with unstable employment, we need systems and programs that can inspire employees with intrinsic motivation and knowledge about hybrid start-up, so follow-up researches are necessary to analyze about government systems and consulting support that can promote hybrid start-up.

This study was conducted to propose a model for nursing performance in group occupational health service. To achieve such a goal, the writer choose and analysed two kinds of journals which were thought to be the most suitable for that purpose and authoritative on community health nursing: The Journal of Korean Community Nursing and the Journal of Korean Academic Society of Industrial Nursing. The total number of the articles analysed in this study was 16 and in the analysis of them the writer was specially concerned with the following questions: 1) Have there been any different performances in occupational health management between staying nurses and visiting ones? 2) What are the levels of knowledge, attitude, and practice of workers and how can we, on the basis of them, develop the program that workers are able to participate positively in ? the obtained conclusions are as follows. 1) Different performances are revealed between staying nurses and visiting ones: Common symptom management frequently appeared in staying nurses. Counseling, health education and follow-up care after medical examination were more frequently revealed in visiting nurses. 2) As for the lovel of knowledge, attitude, and practice of occupational health, workers have average one respectively. The major factors influencing the level of KAP of workers were area, age, sex and status. Counseling, health education, follow-up care after medical examination, and health promotion should be reinforced as core programs in group occupational health services. And for the part of visiting nurses, it is necessary to put more emphasis on efficiency training using the method of nursing process.

This study was carried out to investigate the present status of nutrition services for infants in public health centers and the need for nutrition services of health workers and infants mothers. The study subjects were 146 health workers and 197 infants mothers. The results were as follows : At present, the only major nutrition services for infants were vaccination and dental care. Proper nutrition management services were available to infants. Nutrition knowledge scores were 16.8 for health workers and 15.3 for mothers out of 20 possible points. Health workers strongly demanded a well-organized nutrition education program, government support, audio-visual materials and the employment of a community nutritionist. The public health workers, in particular, demanded the development of education programs for breastfeeding and weaning. The infants mothers demanded services of nutrition information and teaching of cooking and menu planning. Based on this, the results suggest that the employment of a community nutritionist and the development of practical nutrition service programs for infants are needed very urgently for public health centers.

Effective and sustainable prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WR-MSDs) remains a challenge for preventers and policy makers. Coordination of stakeholders involved in the prevention of WR-MSDs is a key factor that requires greater reflection on common knowledge and shared representation of workers' activities among stakeholders. Information on workers' strategies and operational leeway should be the core of common representations, because it places workers at the center of the "work situation system" considered by the intervention models. Participatory ergonomics permitting debates among stakeholders about workers' activity and strategies to cope with the work constraints in practice could help them to share representations of the "work situation system" and cooperate. Sharing representation therefore represents a useful tool for prevention, and preventers should provide sufficient space and time for dialogue and discussion of workers' activities among stakeholders during the conception, implementation, and management of integrated prevention programs.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors affecting the education experience, education needs, and knowledge level of calculation criteria for dental workers. It was conducted on dental workers in Daegu and Gyeongbuk province and an online survey was conducted using Google Survey. We used frequency analysis, crossover analysis, and ANOVA analysis method to find out general characteristic, education experience, education needs, and knowledge level according to education experience and education needs of candidates. As a result of in the knowledge level survey of dental health insurance, there were high rates of incorrect answers to the calculation criteria when the claim program automatically processes it or notifies you through an error window. The level of knowledge of candidates who are experienced, on a claim, and with experience in dental insurance training in the last six months was high. In conclusion, it seems that accurate and correct insurance claims are possible when the dental workers are familiar with the calculation criteria changed through regular dental health insurance education. We look forward to this study providing basic data in preparation of education system for professional dental insurance claims for dental workers.
