Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify correctional nurses' job stressors. Method: The data were collected from 51 correctional nurses using a self-completion questionnaire. To analyze data, content analysis was done using an analysis scheme developed by the investigators. Results: 160 significant statements were analyzed and categorized. The analysis scheme consisted of 8 categories and 23 subcategories. 8 categories analyzed by the investigators were as follow: relationship with other corrections staffs, overloaded work, career development, role conflict, work environment, relationship with patients, legal & ethical dilemma and administration environment. Conclusions: The correctional nurses' job need legal support from society and systematic support to improve nurses' job satisfaction.

This study was undertaken to assess the effect of sound stress on humoral and cellular immune responses to thymus-dependent and independent antigens in mice. After mice were exposed to 4 hr daily sound stessors(83㏈) for 4 days before or after immunization, the primary and / or secondary immune response to sheep red blood cells(SRBC), polyvinylpyrroridone(PVP) or picry1 chloride(TNCB) were assayed. When mice were exposed to sound stressor before or after immunization, delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction and contact sensitivity to TNCB was remarkably depressed compared with those of the unstressed control mice. However, the primary and secondary hemagglutinin response of the stresed mice to SRBC showed a pronounced increase compared with that of the unstressed mice, In contrast to antibody response to SRBC, the primary antibody response of the stressed mic to PVP was almost not detected. surprisingly, the secondary antibody response to PVP of the mice receiving the secondary sound stress was markedly increased when the immune-depressed mice received the secondary immunization with PVP at 46 days after the primary immunization. The susceptibility of mice to intraven-oulsy infected Candida albicans was not changed by the sound stress.

The purpose of this study is to propose the baseline data for -developing the occupational stress measurement tool for Psychiatric nurses Working in the hospital. 135 staff nurses in psychiatric unit of 11. hospital were participated during the period from August 1 to August 20, 1988. Though the pretest and literature review a questionnaire was coristructed with 88 stressors which were experienced by the psychiatric nurses in the hospital. Subjects were given instruction to rate 1~6 likert type scale according to the level of stress experienced by each stressor described. Reliability of the tool was tested by Cronbach's Alpha and the reasult was ${\alpha}=0.94871$. Factor analysis was applied to organize 88 items together: As the result, 14 factors were obtained. The factors were; 1) Administration problem 2) Work overload 3) Role conflict as a profession 4) Lack of professional knowledge and skill 5) Conflict with nurses 6) Conflict with other health teams 7) Conflict in nurse-clint relationship 8) Conflict with supervisor 9) Conflict with suborinate 10) Low reward 11) Scheduling probrem 12) Inappropriate physical environment 13) Staff inadequate 14) Inadequate of equipment.

The purpose of this study was to examine the stressors of students in high school. Demographic data such as jobs of parents, family types, levels of living (parents' monthly income) and students' school records, high school types, number of friends, religion, pocket money and their sex showed as the main causes of high school students' stress. The data was analyzed by a t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Duncan Multiple Range Test. The variable which significantly influenced the general properties was sex(p=0.001), high school type (p=0.000), number of friends (p=0.002), parents monthly income (p=0.011) and whether existence of their father or not (p=0.045). In the result (stress score), girl students (25.07) feel greater stress than boy students (20.68). High school type, an academic girls' high school (27.34) and boys' high school (25.67) showed the highest. It was indicated in the study that it is necessary to have programs that help students' stress management and improve high school type Systems.

In the present study, degradation characteristics of pumps in nuclear power plants were investigated to provide the information of degradation mechanism and stressors. The failure records of pumps for the periods 2000 to 2006 on INPO(Institute of Nuclear Power Operations) EPIX(Equipment Performance and Information Exchange System) DB were reviewed. The 1,834 failure records reveal that the critical areas of pump failures are bearing, mechanical seal, gasket/o-ring, shaft, impeller, coupling and packing. Based on the failure rate of critical areas, the important degradation mechanism and stressors were determined. Additionally, the relationship between degradation mechanism and stressors such as wear was examined. Finally, the monitoring parameters related to degradation and stressors were discussed for the future development of degradation evaluation and prognosis technology of pumps.

Physical and psychological events can produce stress response in various degrees. Stress affects many aspects of physiology including both brain and peripheral elements which is represented as hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. Brain elements consist of corticotropin-releasing hormone(CRH), locus ceruleus(LC)-norepinephrine(NE)/autonomic system. Peripheral elements include pituitary-adrenal axis and the autonomic nervous system, which coordinate the stress response. Current trend of the stress researches is emphasizing the mechanisms of the stress response which is adaptive or become maladaptive. This review introduces 1) the concepts of stress, 2) physiological and behavioral aspects of stress responses, 3) the consequences of stress response, 4) the measurements of stress and 5) stress management for those interested in stress research.

Groundwater monitoring wells (about 70 wells) were extensively installed in 28 sites surrounding Lake Texoma, located on the border of Oklahoma and Texas, to assess the impact of geochemical stressors to shallow groundwater quality. The monitoring wells were classified into three groups (residential area, agricultural area, and oil field area) depending on their land uses. During a two-year period from 1999 to 2001 the monitoring wells were sampled every three months on a seasonal basis. Water quality assay consisted of 25 parameters including field parameters, nutrients, major ions, and trace elements. Occurrence and level of inorganics in groundwater samples were related to the land-use and temporal change.

Recently obesity which had not been at issue very much before comes to the fore as an important health problem. But women frequently attempt excessive weight controls not to cure obesity but to fit false norms of women's appearances. Both these trends and tendencies of perceiving themselves to be fatter than what thay are work as a kind of stressor which impose psychological burden on most women, and finally threaten their mental health. In this point, the purpose of this study was to analize the factors having an effect on women's weight-related stress. This study included a survey and obese level measurement of a systematic random samples of 431 E. University senior students for 17 days(from 13 May 1996 to 29 May 1996). As results, obese level, especially the subject's evaluation for her obese level, history of weight control, and strong weigh control beliefs that the success depends on herself influenced stress.

본 연구의 목적은 가족스트레스 이론과 선행연구를 바탕으로 하여 제안된 이론적 모델의 검증을 통하여 일과 가정생활의 두 역할을 병행하는 데서 기인하는 역할긴장이 매개변수인 가족자원과 대처방안에 의해 어떻게 중재되어 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는가를 규명하는데 있다. 다단계 추출법으로 미국 로스엔젤레스에 거주하는 한인교포 중 맞벌이부부를 연구대상으로 선정하여 질문지를 통해 남편과 아내의 자료를 표집하였지만 본 연구에서는 117명의 남편의 자료만을 결과 분석하였다. 분석방법은 이론적 검증에 유용한 LISREL Ⅶ 프로그램이 사용되었다. 처음에 제안된 이론적 모델의 검증에는 문제를 보였지만 PSI Matrix를 고정하고 가정생활의 역할 stressor와 가족자원의 경로를 첨가하여 수정된 모델은 자료에 의해 충분히 검증되었다. 그러나 남편의 이론적 모델은 가족스트레스 이론을 일반화시키지 못했기 때문에 일과 가정생활의 두 역할을 병행하는 데서 기인하는 남편의 역할긴장을 가족스트레스 이론으로 설명하는데는 문제가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 본 연구에서 제안된 이론적 모델의 의미와 제한점 등을 살펴본 후 미래연구가를 위한 방안이 제시되었다.
