박종섭(Jong-Seup Park),오경재(Gyung-Jae Oh) 한국농촌의학 지역보건학회 2008 농촌의학·지역보건 Vol.33 No.1

이 연구에서는 시설참외 농작업자와 수도작 농작업자들의 농부증 유병양상 및 특징을 비교 분석함으로써 시설참외 농작업자들의 농부증 예방을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 연구 대상은 일개 농촌지역에 소재하는 시설 참외 농작업자 73명, 수도작 농작업자 87명이었다. 자료수집은 연구자로부터 교육을 받은 면접원들에 의해 수행되었으며 자료는 구조화된 설문지를 이용한 직접면접법을 통해 수집하였다. 조사항목은 일반특성, 건강관련 행위, 농작업 관련 특성, 농부증, 농사일 및 관련 증상 등이었다. 인구?사회학적 특성은 시설참외 농작업자에서 수도작 농작업자보다 연령이 상대적으로 낮고 학력 및 소득수준은 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 한편, 농작업 종사에 따른 성별, 결혼상태, 동거인 수, 생활행태(흡연, 음주, 운동, 비만) 등의 분포 차이는 없었다. 농작업 종사 경력은 시설참외 및 수도작 농작업자에서 각각 23.4년, 33.9년으로 분포 또한 시설참외 농작업자에서 상대적으로 짧은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 일 농작업 시간은 시설참외 및 수도작 농작업자에서 각각 8.3시간, 6.5시간이었으며, 분포 또한 시설참외 농작업자에서 상대적으로 긴것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 농부증 총점수는 시설참외 농작업자(5.9)에서 수도작 농작업자(4.6)보다 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 농부증 유병률은 시설참외 농작업자(38.4%)에서 수도작 농작업자(22.6%)보다 높은 분포를 나타내었으나 유의수준은 경계성(p=0.059)을 나타내고 있었다. 직접표준화 방법을 이용하여 연령을 보정한 결과에서의 농부증 유병률은 시설참외농작업자에서 수도작 농작업자보다 높은 분포를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 농부증 증상은 두 군 모두 어깨결림 및 요통, 야간빈뇨, 수족감각 둔화에서 높은 분포를 나타내었으며 특히 어깨결림, 허리통증, 야간빈뇨 등은 시설참외 농작업자에서 수도작 농작업자보다 상대적으로 높게 분포하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 이러한 연구결과로부터 시설참외 농작업자들에서의 농부증 유병률을 예방하고 관리하기 위해서는 상대적으로 과중한 노동강도 및 노동시간에 노출됨을 방지할 수 있는 농작업 환경 개선, 농기구의 개발, 주기적 휴식 및 운동 등의 방안이 다른 농작업보다 적극적으로 마련되어야 할 것이다. Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the differences in Farmer"s syndrome between greenhouse-melon farmers and rice farmers. Methods: The study included 160 residents, who lived in rural community. Of those subjects, 73 and 87 subjects were assigned to the greenhouse-melon farmers and rice farmers. Data collection was conducted from June 1 to July 30, 2006. Respondents were interviewed by means of a structured questionnaire. Results: This study showed that greenhouse-melon farmers had a lower average age, shorter experience of farming, more working hours per day than rice farmers (p<0.05). Prevalence of the Farmer"s syndrome in greenhouse-melon farmers was 38.4% respectively, the prevalence in rice farmers was 22.6%. There was statistically significant difference in the prevalence of Farmer"s syndrome between greenhouse-melon and rice farmers (p<0.05). The most frequent symptoms among eight symptoms that constitute the Farmer"s syndrome were lumbago, shoulder pain and nocturnal urination regardless of type of farming. But greenhouse-melon farmers had higher prevalence of muskuloskeletal symptoms, such as lumbago and shoulder pain, than rice farmers (p<0.05). Conclusions: These results showed that prevalence of Farmer"s syndrome was more common in the greenhouse-melon farmers than rice farmers. Therefore we should give a special attention to develop farming tools which reduce physical burden and take a rest and exercise periodically during work in the greenhouse-melon farmers.

본 연구는 도시근교에서 농업에 종사하고 있는 농부들의 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련행위 특성 및 농작업 관련 특성에 따른 농부증 및 피로자각증상 실태를 파악하고, 농부증과 피로자각증상과의 관련성을 알아보고자 시도하 였다. 조사 대상은 우리나라 중부지방의 D광역시 근교의 4개 동에서 농업에 종사하고 있는 296명을 대상으로 하였으 며, 자료 수집은 2011년 4월 1일부터 6월 30일까지의 기간 동안에 설문지를 사용하여 면접 조사하였다. 연구결과, 조 사대상자의 농부증 분포는 「농부증 음성」이 18.2%, 「농부증 의심」이 47.6%, 「농부증 양성」이 34.1%이었다. 농 부증은 피로자각증상과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 피로자각증상이 정상인 군에 비해 고위험 피로군군에서 농 부증에 속할 위험도가 유의하게 증가하였다. 위계적 다중회귀분석 결과, 농부증에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 성별, 학 력, 외래진료 및 입원경험유무, 피로자각증상이 유의한 변수로 선정되었으며, 특히 피로자각증상은 농부증에 독립적으 로 큰 영향을 미치고 있었다. 위와 같은 연구결과는 농부증이 인구사회학적 및 건강관련행위 특성뿐만 아니라 피로자 각증상과도 유의한 관련성이 있음을 알 수 있으며, 특히 피로자각증상은 인구사회학적 특성이나 건강관련행위 특성과 는 독립적으로 농부증에 영향을 미치는 요인이 되고 있음을 시사하고 있다. This study was performed to find out the relationship between farmer’s syndrome and self-conscious fatigue symptoms in farmers of suburban area. The questionnaire was prepared to survey the socio-demographic characteristics, health-related behaviors, farming activities, farmer’s syndrome, and self-conscious fatigue symptoms of the farmers, and the survey was carried out from April 1 to June 30, 2011 by interviewing 296 farmers residing suburban area of Daejeon city. As a results, the ratio of farmers who had positive farmer’s syndrome, doubtful syndrome, and no syndrome were 34.1%, 47.6%, and 18.2%, respectively. The farmer’s syndrome was positively correlated with the self-conscious fatigue symptoms, and farmers with self-conscious fatigue symptoms in high risk group were at higher risk of having farmer’s syndrome. The results of hierarchic multiple regression analysis indicated that sex, education, health, and self-conscious fatigue symptom were correlated with the farmer’s syndrome. Among the affective factors variables, independently self-conscious fatigue symptom was the most influential. As a conclusion, the occurrence of farmer’s syndrome was influenced by the socio-demographic characteristics, health-related behaviors, and self-conscious fatigue symptoms of the farmers. Especially, self-conscious fatigue symptom was independently influenced the occurrence of farmer’s syndrome.

농업인 안전재해 예방을 위한 각국의 법령체계 비교와 시사점

김영문 한국비교노동법학회 2019 노동법논총 Vol.47 No.-

As a result of this study, the prevention of agricultural work safety accidents starts from the ‘freedom of the body’ of Article 7 of the Constitution. Since this fundamental right also implies an objective order of value, the state should ensure that all citizens, including self-employed farmers, are protected from the constitutional basic rights protection obligation from the danger of violating “freedom of body safety”. As long as self-owned farmers are discriminated against agricultural workers and ordinary workers from the prevention of agricultural work safety accidents, this is an infringement of the right to equality and the state does not guarantee the constitutional basic right to freedom of physical safety. Thus, the state is obliged to take active legislation to prevent agricultural work safety accidents. From the point of view of comparative research, the implications of farmers, especially self-owned farmers, from foreign countries to prevent safety accidents during farming are as follows. First of all, the ILO Recommendation should not prevent safety accidents in terms of agriculture as one industrial sect, but rather preventive systems in terms of human labor in agriculture. Therefore, the safety of agricultural work disasters means that the same measures should be taken regardless of ordinary workers, agricultural workers, and self-owned farmers. Another ILO Recommendation suggests that self-employed farmer does not have any employers who are responsible for safety and health. Through self-owned farmers themselves, safety disaster prevention system and policy should be established and carried out. As a result of examining the position of other major countries, each country has a different situation regarding the prevention of safety disasters of self-farming. Most countries refer to the application of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which applies to ordinary workers, mainly for agricultural workers. However, self-employed farmers should enjoy the freedom of physical safety under Article 12 of the Constitution as a general public. As far as discrimination is concerned, there is a risk of equal rights violations. However, making a safety disaster prevention method does not prevent a safety disaster, so various counseling and education programs should be created based on the prevention system. Finally, farmers themselves should come up with ways to participate in the prevention of safety disasters. Above all, as an organization representing their collective interests in relation to the prevention of agricultural worker safety accidents, self-farming should include safety accident prevention in its activities. In addition, as shown in the case of Japan, the law is important in preventing agricultural work safety accidents, but administrative guidance as a non-legal delivery system is very important. In conclusion, comparative studies show that farmers ‘voluntary participation, creation of collective interest structure, and unlawful delivery system are important in preventing farmers’ safety disasters.

마상진,김영생 한국농·산업교육학회 2006 농업교육과 인적자원개발 Vol.38 No.1

This study was to analyze the needs for education and training program of Korean farmers. Based on the survey of 773 farmers from Korean Advanced Farmer Federation(KAFF), Woman Agricultural Farmer Federation(WAFF), and Korea Rural Economic Institute(KREI) Farmer Respondents, the needs for farmer education and training program including program contents, program methods, and program supports were analyzed. The need analysis indicated that farmers need program contents such as managing farm labor resource, managing tools, equipment & supplies, and setting up farm business as well as raising livestock and crop, and marketing; farmers prefer small-size class and field trip with practical instruction; farmers prefer experts understanding their current situation and problems; farmers prefer practice-based program evaluation; farmers prefer short-term and winter season program; farmers are acquiring program information mainly through agricultural officers and mass media; farmers want to be supported with program registration fee and post-program information; there are individual differences in specific needs for program contents, methods, and supports according to farmers' products, managing level, farming career, and gender. 이 연구는 농업인들의 교육훈련 프로그램 내용, 방법, 그리고 지원과 관련한 요구를 파악하는데 있었다. 연구 목적 달성을 위해 이 연구에서는 한국농업경영인연합회, 한국여성농업인연합회 소속 농업인 그리고 한국농촌경제연구원 현지통신원 농업인 등 773명의 농업인에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 농업인들의 교육훈련 프로그램에 대한 요구 분석 결과는 다음과 같았다. ① 농업인들은 생산기술, 마케팅 이외에도 다양한 영농 영역에 대한 교육훈련 요구가 있었다. ② 농업인들은 소규모 인원으로 구성된 교수학습과 견학식으로 진행되는 교수학습을 많이 선호하였다. ③ 농업인들은 그들의 현실과 특성을 이해하고 있는 강사를 선호하였다. ④ 농업인들은 프로그램 평가 방법으로 실습평가를 선호하였다. ⑤ 농업인들은 겨울철 교육훈련과 단기 교육훈련을 선호하였다. ⑥ 농업인들은 농업관련 공무원과 신문방송 등을 통해 교육훈련 프로그램에 대한 정보를 가장 많이 얻고 있었다. ⑦ 농업인들은 교육훈련 비용에 대한 지원을 원하고 있었다. ⑧ 농업인들은 사후관리와 관련하여 교육훈련과 연계된 적절한 영농정보의 제공을 가장 원하고 있었다. ⑨ 농업인들은 교육훈련 프로그램 내용, 방법, 지원 등에 대하여 영농작목, 경영수준, 영농경력, 성별과 같은 특성에 따라 다른 요구를 하고 있었고, 특히 영농작목에 따른 차별화된 교육훈련을 원하고 있었다.

농업인대학 교육사업에 대한 성별영향평가

문미경(Moon Mi-Kyong),진종순(Jin Jongsoon) 서울행정학회 2010 한국사회와 행정연구 Vol.21 No.2

The government offers basic and expert technical education for farmers to increase human capital and expertise of farmers because the population and competitiveness of farmers is declining. In particular. Farmer's College provides expert technical education for farmers. One of the factors of the emerging issue of education for farmers is the male-oriented perspective of the overall policy measures conducted by entities such as the U.N. Because women's opportunities are structurally limited and women are peripheral as farmers in Korea, education for farmers should be discussed as gender policy. This study focuses on expert technical education and conducts gender impact assessment on long-term education programs in Farmer's College. This study found that policy measures are necessary to reflect gender impact assessment in the Farmer's College. First, the overall structure of education plans and documentation should be replaced by formats reflecting gender perspectives. Second, the Farmer's College should expand opportunities for female farmers to participate in education programs by adopting affirmative action programs for female farmers and married couples to take together. Lastly, education for government officials is necessary to prepare budgets incorporating gender perspectives.

본 연구는 국내 농업인의 천식 및 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환을 파악하기 위해「농업인의 업무상 질병 및 손상조사」를 조사하였다. 관련된 국내연구 자료가 미비하여 국외 농업인의 천식 및 만성폐쇄성 폐질환 연구결과를 찾아보았고, 그 결과. 국내 농업인들의 천식 및 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환 유병률은 국외 연구 결과들보다 낮게 나타났다. 실제 국내 농업인의 호흡기 질환 유병률은 더 높을 수 있으므로, 추가적인 연구가 필요하고, 호흡기 질환 예방대책이 마련되어야 한다. Objective: Farmers are known to have high prevalence of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). This study aims to investigate the current status of asthma and COPD in domestic and foreign farmers with the ultimate goal of raising awareness of asthma and COPD among farmers and contribute to supporting evidence for the prevention of respiratory diseases in farmers. Methods: The study utilized data from the Farmer’s Occupational Disease Survey, conducted by the Rural Development Administration, to determine the prevalence of respiratory diseases in domestic farmers. The prevalence of asthma and COPD in overseas farmers was evaluated by researching other foreign studies and articles. Results: The prevalence of asthma and COPD in domestic farmers was less than of foreign farmers’. The prevalence of asthma in domestic farmers was high as upto 8.4% and COPD upto 5.5%. Studies from Europe and America showed prevalence of asthma in farmers high as upto 14.8% and COPD upto 17.1%. Conclusions: This study conducted an investigation using the Survey on Occupational Diseases and Injuries in Farmers to understand the current status of asthma and COPD in domestic farmers. Due to a lack of relevant domestic research, we examined and compared with the research results on asthma and COPD among overseas farmers. Further research is necessary and preventive measures for respiratory diseases need to be developed.

농업인의 교육 참여 실태와 관련 변인- 2006년 정부의 농업 교육 투자 확대 이후 변화 탐색

마상진 한국농·산업교육학회 2014 농업교육과 인적자원개발 Vol.46 No.3

This study was to investigate farmers' participation in education, to identify the related variables, and to explore the change since 2006 agricultural education reform which was launched by government. For the purpose, this study carried out a survey on 653 farmers. Survey results indicated farmers' education participation had expanded since 2006, while high participants’ share of total educational opportunities had increased. Most of farmers’ educational motives were goal-oriented and learning-oriented rather than action-oriented. Farmers’ barriers to participation of education were mainly related with accessibility; farmers’ educational participations were different according to gender, age, education, return migrating, and educational motive: women, young, high-educated, urban-rural migrating, learning and goal oriented farmers were more active participating in education than men, old, low-educated, native, action-oriented farmers. Also, farmers’ education attendances depended on years of farming experience, commodity, farm scale, farming background, and producer organizations participation: relatively short-term experience, livestock and fruits farming, large farm scale, non-farming background, producer-organization member farmers were more active education participants than long-term experience, grains farming, small farm scale, farm-succeeding, non producer-organization member farmers. Tobit regression showed that the most explainable variable to farmers' agricultural education participation was farmers' educational motive. In addition, future study on farmer learning and farming work related variables and farmer education participation and motive relationship was suggested. 2006년 이후 공공부문의 농업인 교육 관련 투자가 본격화되면서 농업교육 전담기구 신설과 더불어 교육의 전문화, 다양화를 추진되었다. 이 연구는 한국 정부의 농업인 교육에 대한 투자 확대 이후, 그 이전 시점과 연구 비교를 통해 농업인 교육 참여 실태의 변화 분석하고, 그 관련 변인을 구명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 선행 연구 분석을 통해 분석모형을 도출하여 한국농촌경제연구원 통신원 대상으로 설문조사(653명 응답)를 실시하였고, 분석 결과 몇 가지 결론을 도출하였다. 첫째, 농업인의 교육과 관련한 공공부문의 투자가 활성화 되면서 농업인의 교육 참여는 더욱 보편화되었지만, 일부 농업인에 의한 교육기회 집중 역시 가속화되었다. 둘째, 농업인은 활동지향 보다는 목표지향, 학습지향의 동기에 기반하여 교육에 참여하고 있지만, 농업인이 참여하고 있는 교육 내용과 실제 원하는 교육 내용 간에는 다소 차이가 있었다. 셋째, 농업인의 교육 참여의 가장 큰 장애요인은 교육에 대한 접근성 부족이었다. 넷째, 농업인의 성, 연령, 학력, 귀농여부, 교육동기 등 개인 특성에 따라 교육 참여도에 차이가 있었다. 다섯째, 농업인의 영농경력, 영농품목, 영농규모, 취농유형, 생산자 조직활동 여부 등의 영농 특성에 따라 교육 참여도에 차이가 있었다. 여섯째, 농업인의 교육 참여 동기가 교육 참여도를 가장 잘 설명하고 있었다. 이상의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 후속 연구로서 농업인 학습 관련 특성이나 일 관련 특성과 교육 참여나 동기와의 관계 연구를 제언하였다.

농업인 안전재해예방에 관한 입법의 비교법적 검토

김영문(Kim Youngmun) 한국비교노동법학회 2017 노동법논총 Vol.40 No.-

Farmer’s accident rate is higher than that of general employee. In korean agriculture are most of farmers small self-employed farmers. They are not employee. Therefore, the industrial accident law and the occupation safety and health acts are not applied to this farmers. The Act on the Safety Insurance of the Farmers and Fishermen and the Prevention of Safety Accidents is applied from January 7, 2016. But the preventionrules of this law are insufficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to make suggestions and make legislative proposals in Korea through comparative legal studies on the prevention of safety accidents for small self-employed farmers. In this article, we first examined the legislation on the prevention of safety accidents of farmers in Germany. Above all, Germany is organizing self-employed farms as industrial accident insurance, and considering farms as workplaces, farmers as farm owners. To this farmers as the employers in the industrial accident law and the occupation safety and health acts are imposed preventive obligations on themselves, family members and other assistants. In particular, German Social Legislation(SGB) imposes a preventive obligation on a single farmer who is working alone. In Korea, where most of the farmers are small self-employed farmers, it is necessary to introduce the concept of farmers as a ‘Unternehmer’ and farms as ‘Betrieb’ in Germany. In this article, we have proposed a legislation for the prevention of farmer’s safety accidents.

농부중의 정신적 원인에 대한 연구

박태진,이가영,Park, Tae-Jin,Lee, Ka-Young 한국농촌의학지역보건학회 1997 농촌의학·지역보건 Vol.22 No.1

Backgrounds : There has been many studies investigating the causes of farmers' syndrome. In some studies, psychologic stress is related to farmer's syndrome. And the diagnostic criteria of farmer's syndrome is similar to those of generalized anxiety disorder. So we carried out this study to investigate the psychiatric causes of farmers' syndrome. Methods : This study was done in some rural and urban areas of Kyoungsangnam Province, July, August, October and November of 1996. Those who came to free medical service and completed interview, medical examination and laboratory examination and 20-59 years old were 150 persons. And those who came to health center for health examination and completed only interview and 20-59 years old were 94 persons. The questionnaire was composed of sociodemographic factors, health risk factors, farmer's syndrome, work load, BEPSI(inventory to measure stress), Spielberger's state-trait anxiety inventory, self-rating depression scale. To examine statistical significance, we used X2-test, Mantel-Haenszel test for linear association, t-test, ANCOVA, correlation, multiple regression, logistic regression. Results : The prevalence of farmer's syndrome, adjusted for age and sex with population of Kyungsangnam Province of 1993 was 208 per 1,000(90 per 1,000 in men and 329 per 1,000 in women). In bivariate analysis, farmer's syndrome was significantly related to age, sex, job, income, smoking, alcohol drinking, work load, BEPSI, state anxiety, trait anxiety, depression, body mass index, Hwa-Byung, hypertension, anemia. However, when age and sex were adjusted, job was not significantly related to farmer's syndrome. The score of farmer's syndrome was significantly related to age, sex, work load, BEPSI, trait anxiety by multiple regression. Farmer's syndrome was significantly related to increasing age(odd ratio 1.079, 95% C.I. 1.060 - 1.099), sex(odds ratio of male 0.434, 95% C.I. 0.349 - 0.540), and BEPSI(odds ratio 1.231, 95% C.I. 1.148 - 1.320) by logistic regression. Results of logistic regression analysis of the component symptoms of farmer's syndrome were as follows. Shoulder stiffness was significantly related to increasing age, female sex and BEPSI. Lumbago was significantly related to increasing age, female sex and trait anxiety. Numb limbs and nocturia was significantly related to increasing age and female sex. Breathlessness was significantly related to work load, sleeplessness was significantly related to depression, dizziness was significantly related to job and state anxiety, and abdominal fullness was significantly related to female sex. Conclusion : Farmers' syndrome was related to work load, but was more related to psychiatric factors such as BEPSI and trait anxiety. And the occupation was not risk factor of farmers' syndrome in this study, so further study is needed to investigate the cause of farmers' syndrome.
