이 연구는 우리나라 변호사의 재정적 스트레스와 정신건강 사이의 관련성을 파악하기 위해수행되었다. 2014년 6월부터 12월까지 윤리연수에 참가한 변호사들을 대상으로 자기 기입식 설문조사를 실시하였고, 수거된 설문지 총 731부 중 복수 응답(또는 누락)과 부정확하게 기입된 설문지를 제외한 총 686부를 분석에 사용하였다. 재정적 스트레스는 설문 중 보상 부적절에 대한 응답을 분석하여평가하였고, 정신건강은 사회 심리적 건강측정도구 단축형(PWI-SF)을 사용하여 평가하였다. 통계는카이제곱 검정과 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 사용하였다. 전체 대상자 중 131명(19.1%)이 재정적 스트레스가 높았고, 134명(19.5%)이 정신건강 고위험군에 속하였다. 그리고 재정적 스트레스가 높은 집단은낮은 집단에 비해 정신건강의 고위험군에 속할 확률이 11.31배나 높았다. 변호사는 재정적 스트레스가높아질수록 정신건강의 위험은 더욱 높아지는 경향이 있었다. The aim of this study was to determine the association between financial stress and mental health among lawyers in the Republic of Korea. We conducted a self-report survey among lawyers who participated in ethics training from June to December 2014. A total of 731 questionnaires were returned; after excluding questionnaires with missing or inaccurate responses, we analyzed 686. Financial stress was evaluated by analyzing responses relating to financial burden, and mental health was evaluated by using the Psycho-social Wellbeing Index Short Form (PWI-SF). Data were analyzed with a chi-squared test and multiple logistic regression. Of the total 686, 131 (19.1%) reported high financial stress, and 134 (19.5%) were in the high-risk group of mental health status. Moreover, those with high financial stress were 11.31 times more likely to be in the high-risk mental health than those with low financial stress. Our results suggest that as a lawyer’s financial stress gets higher, the risk of mental health status tends to get higher significantly.

The aim of this study was to determine the association between occupational stress and psycho-social stress among lawyers in the Republic of Korea. We conducted a self-reported survey among lawyers who participated in ethics training from June to December 2014. A total of 731 questionnaires were returned; after excluding questionnaires with missing or inaccurate responses, we analyzed 681. occupational stress was evaluated by analyzing responses relating to a total of 8 questionnaires: job demand (work overload), insufficient job control (difficulties in achieving goals), lack of reward, and interpersonal conflict (with clients, opponents, law enforcement agencies, the court, and staff). With these data, psycho-social stress was evaluated by using the Psycho-social Wellbeing Index Short Form (PWI-SF). Data were analyzed with a chi-squared test and multiple logistic regression analysis. Of the total 681, 575 (84.4%) reported occupational stress and 135 (19.8%) were in the high-risk group of psycho-social stress. In this study, 134 (99.3%) out of 135 lawyers in the high-risk group of psycho-social stress were exposed to occupational stress (p<0.0001). This results suggest that those with lawyer's occupational stress were 33.54 times more likely to be in high-risk group of psycho-social stress than those without of occupational stress. Lawyer's occupational stress was strongly associated with psycho-social stress. 이 연구는 우리나라 변호사의 직무 스트레스와 사회심리적 스트레스와의 관련성을 파악하기위해 수행되었다. 2014년 6월부터 12월까지 윤리연수에 참가한 변호사들을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였고, 수거된 설문지 총 731부 중 복수 응답(또는 누락)과 부정확하게 기입된 설문지를제외한 총 681부를 분석에 사용하였다. 직무 스트레스는 ‘직무요구(업무과중), 직무자율(목표 달성의 어려움), 보상부적절, 관계갈등(의뢰인, 상대방, 수사기관, 법원, 동료)’의 총 8문항에 대한 응답을 분석하여 평가하였고, 사회심리적 스트레스는 사회 심리적 건강측정도구 단축형(PWI-SF)을 사용하여 평가하였다. 분석 방법은 카이제곱 검정(Chi-squared test)과 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석(Multiple logistic regression analysis)을 사용하였다. 전체대상자 681명 중 575명(84.4%)이 직무 스트레스에 노출되어 있었고, 135명(19.8%)이 사회심리적 스트레스의 고위험군에 속하였다. 사회심리적 스트레스 고위험군에속하는 135명 중 134명(99.3%)이 직무 스트레스를 경험하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 직무 스트레스에노출되어 있는 집단은 그렇지 않은 집단에 비해 사회심리적 스트레스의 고위험군에 속할 위험이 약33.5배 높았다. 따라서 변호사의 직무 스트레스는 변호사의 사회심리적 스트레스를 결정하는데 있어서중요한 요인으로 작용하였다.

Objectives: Exposure to aircraft noise has been shown to have adverse health effects, causing annoyance and affecting the health-related quality of life, sleep, and mental states of those exposed to it. This study aimed to determine sleep quality in participants residing near an airfield and to evaluate the relationship between the levels of aircraft noise and sleep quality. Methods: Neighboring regions of a military airfield were divided into three groups: a high exposure group, a low exposure group, and a control group. A total of 1082 participants (aged 30-79 years) completed a comprehensive self-administered questionnaire requesting information about demographics, medical history, lifestyle, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results: Of the 1082 participants, 1005 qualified for this study. The prevalence of sleep disturbance was 45.5% in the control group, 71.8% in the low exposure group, and 77.1% in the high exposure group (p for trend < 0.001). After adjusting for potential confounding factors, we determined the exposure-response relationship between the degree of aircraft noise and sleep quality. Of the participants with a normal mental status, the prevalence of sleep disturbance was 2.61-fold higher in the low exposure group and 3.52-fold higher in the high exposure group than in the control group. Conclusion: The relationship between aircraft noise and health should be further evaluated through a large-scale follow-up study.

Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the association between job stress and mental health among male and female workers in a large electric manufacture company. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 3,228 employees who participated in annual medical check-up working in a large electric manufacture company in Gyeonggi Province. Medical check-up and self-administrated questionnaire were performed at the same time. Korean Occupational Stress Scale Short Form (KOSS-SF) and Psychosocial Wellbeing Index Short Form (PWI-SF) were applied to assess occupational stress and mental health. Hierarchical multiple linear regression and multiple logistic regression were performed to estimate the association between job stress and mental health. Results: The proportion of high risk of mental health was 17.1% in male, and 46.9% in women. Job stress had a greater effect on mental health than other general and work characteristics. All subscales of job stress were revealed to affect mental health. Bad occupational climate and lack of reward are the strongest risk factors in mental health of male and female respectively. Conclusions: Our results suggest that job stress could affect mental health among large electronic manufacture workers.

This study was carried out to find heavy metal contents in soil and in native plant in the regions near by zinc-mines, located at the Chilgok and Uljin Gun in Kyeongpook area. In the heavy metal contents during the to growth of native plants, Cd was contained in the order perennial > biennial > annual plant, but Cu was annual > perennial > biennial plant, and there was no difference in Zn contents. The native plants contained heavy metal highest were Osmunda japonica in Cd, Persicaria thunbergii H.G in Cu and Equisetum arvense L. in Zn. Cd was contained highest in Pteridaceae, Cu in Equisetaceae and Zn in Polygonaceae. In the heavy metal contents by the part of plant of Equisetum arvense L. and Erigeron canadensis, Cd and Zn were much contained in the order leaf > stem > root, but Cu was in the order root > leaf > stem. The average contents of Cd, Cu, Zn in soil were 1.27ppm. 12.04ppm. 64.28ppm in Chilgok, and 3.30ppm. 72.93ppm. 194.04ppm in Uljin respectively. There were positive correlations between Cd contents of heavy metals(Cd, Cu, Zn) in soil and in native plant, but not significant. It was estimated that Osmunda japonica, Pteridium aquilinum (KUHN) var and Equisetum arvense L. which most absorbed heavy metal have effect of exclusion of heavy metals near by zine-mines region.
