Purpose: This study is a descriptive research that analyzes the current status of education for COVID-19 response tasks and factors affecting work fatigue of primary health care practitioners who have experience in dispatching to respond to COVID-19. Methods: This study collected data through an online survey from September 21 to 29, 2022, targeting 193 primary health care practitioners. The data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and logistic regression analysis using the SPSS 25.0 program. Results: 74.1% of the study subjects were dispatched without receiving disaster medical training to respond to COVID-19. 59.6% of the study subjects' work fatigue was above the level of being very tired. The factors that affect the work fatigue of the subjects were disaster participation experience, work intensity, compensation regulations, compensation satisfaction, and understanding of COVID-19 guidelines. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, an educational program for systematic disaster response and preparation for primary health care practitioners in charge of public health care should be developed to efficiently cope with the occurrence of new infectious diseases in the future.

Purpose: This study is a descriptive research study to identify the relationship between the experience of verbal abuse, compassion fatigue, and work engagement among nurses in the emergency unit. Methods: Study subjects were 107 nurses working in a university hospital in Gyeonggi-Do. The instruments used were a verbal abuse checklist, a subscale of the Professional Quality of Life Scale used to measure compassion fatigue, and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS version 22.0 program for independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficients. Results: Emergency nurses experienced more verbal abuse and compassion fatigue than nurses in other departments, and the level of work engagement was low. There was a positive correlation between experience of verbal abuse and compassion fatigue and a negative correlation between both of these variables and work engagement. Particularly, verbal abuse appeared in the order of nurses, patients & caregivers, and doctors. This means there were serious problems with communication with nurses. Conclusion: In order to reduce verbal abuse, it is necessary to establish a communication culture of mutual respect between nurses, medical staff, patients & caregivers. Moreover, a compassion fatigue management program is needed to reduce emotional fatigue.

Background: The success of an injury intervention program can be measured by the proportion of successful return to work (RTW). This study examined factors of successful return to employment among workers suffering from work-related injuries. Methods: Data were obtained from the Social Security Organization, Malaysia database consisting of 10,049 RTW program participants in 2010-2014. The dependent variable was the RTW outcome which consisted of RTW with same employer, RTW with new employer or unsuccessful return. Multinomial logistic regression was performed to test the likelihood of successful return with same employer and new employer against unsuccessful return. Results: Overall, 65.3% of injured workers were successfully returned to employment, 52.8% to the same employer and 12.5% to new employer. Employer interest; motivation; age 30-49 years; intervention less than 9 months; occupational disease; injuries in the lower limbs, upper limbs, and general injuries; and working in the manufacturing, services, and electrical/electronics were associated with returning to work with the same employer against unsuccessful return. Male, employer interest, motivation, age 49 years or younger, intervention less than 6 months, occupational disease, injuries in the upper limbs and services sector of employment were associated with returning to new employer against unsuccessful return. Conclusion: There is a need to strengthen employer commitment for early and intensified intervention that will lead to improvement in the RTW outcome.

There is much dangerous machine in worksite. These make the rate of accidents increase. Specially, among them, dryness equipment work has the highest rate of accidents. Therefore, it has been managed by safety-health law. It is very important to make a special study of work using the dangerous machine. In press work, it is also important to develop safety system program to improve productivity and work safely In this reaserch. the safety mangement system is built for the work improvement of the Press. I will try new development method about dangerous machine.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of working conditions on internship satisfaction. Hotel & Restaurant management students at universities in Jeonju participated in this study. Out of 156 questionnaires, 149 were analyzed using SPSS 17.0 and descriptive analysis, frequency test, factor analysis, reliability test, chi-square, t-test, ANOVA, duncan's multiple regression analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis were used. Based on the result of the conducting factor analysis, the working conditions were classified into 2 factors: work suitability and work environment. Internship satisfaction was classified into 3 factors: internship preference, education and work satisfaction, company satisfaction. Cronbach's alpha was calculated for the reliability of the survey instrument. Consequently, the working conditions were shown to affect internship satisfaction. Among the working conditions, work suitability had a lower effect on internship satisfaction than work environment. At the resort used in this study, the salary level was high, but the level of work environment, internship preference, and company satisfaction was low. The students wanted attend an internship program at the desired place to be hired and found that it was more important to be assigned to the desired department than having a higher salary.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the stress from work and stress coping methods of hospital nurses. The study design was a descriptive survey research. There were a total of 168 hospital nurses included in this study. Data were analyzed by t test, ANOVA (Sheffe's test), and Pearson's correlation coefficient using SPSS/WIN17.0. The stress level from work was 4.27 and stress coping methods was 2.67. Marital status was positively correlated with education level, current department, career duration, and current position. The education level was positively correlated with career period and current position. Current position was positively correlated with stress coping methods. A further follow-up study on nurses in hospital is necessary to relieve stress from work and to increase better stress coping methods. Moreover, to decrease the stress from work of nurses, it is necessary to develop a program that helps them to cope with stress. In addition, these findings contribute to the development of such program.
