Seon-Soo kim,Yeon ju Oh,Tong-Il Jang,Yong-Hee Lee 대한인간공학회 2012 대한인간공학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2012 No.11

직무스트레스는 작업자에게 장기적으로 신체적/정신적 질병을 일으킬 뿐만 아니라 당장 업무 효율을 떨어뜨리거나 인적오류를 유발할 수 있다. 원전과 같은 고신뢰도 체계에서는 종사자의 스트레스와 그 영향에 대한 적절한 관리가 필요하다. KOSS (Korean Occupational Stress Scale)는 직무상 경험되는 스트레스를 설문방식으로 측정하는 주관적 측정도구로써, 한국인의 특성 반영을 검증 받아 다양한 산업에서 사용되고 있다. 그러나 원전의 다양한 고려사항과 특수한 환경에서 근무하는 종사자의 특성을 충분히 반영하고 스트레스를 관리하는데 KOSS가 효과적인지 보다 상세한 검토가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 원전 종사자에 대한 KOSS 기반의 직무스트레스 측정 결과를 바탕으로, 원자력 산업에 적용 가능 여부를 알기 위해 KOSS의 적용성을 검토하였다. 직무스트레스 환산점수 및 사분위수를 도출하고 기존 연구에서 제시한 규준인 한국인 직무스트레스 기본형 참고값과 비교하였다. 또한 작업부하 측정 방법을 이용하여 원전 분야의 측정 결과와 그 외 산업의 측정결과를 비교함으로써 KOSS가 원전 종사자가 겪는 작업부하와 직무스트레스요인을 충분히 반영할 수 있는지 분석하였다. 마지막으로 KOSS의 43개 문항 중 원전 운전원의 체감 직무스트레스 포착이 가능한 문항의 비중을 알아보았다. 이와 같은 결과들을 바탕으로 원자력 산업 종사자의 직무스트레스를 효과적으로 관리할 수 있도록 수정 및 보완 방향을 제시하였다.

Background and Purposes: Over the past three decades, numerous studies performed in Korea have reported that job stress is a determinant risk factor for chronic diseases and work disability. Every society has its own culture and occupational climate particular to their organizations, and hence experiences different occupational stress. An occupational stress measurement tool therefore needs to be developed to estimate it objectively. The purpose of this study is to develop and standardize the Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS) which is considered to be unique and specific occupational stressors in Korean employees. Subjects and Methods: Data were obtained from the National Study for Development and Standardization of Occupational Stress (NSDSOS Project: 2002-2004). A total of 12,631 employees from a nationwide sample proportional to the Korean Standard Industrial Classification and the Korean Standard Occupational Classification were administered. The KOSS was developed for 2 years (2002-2004). In the first year, we collected 255 items from the most popular job stress measurement tools such as JCQ, ERI, NIOSH and OSI, and 44 items derived from the a qualitative study (depth interview). Forty-three items of KOSS, in the second year, were retained for use in the final version of the KOSS by using Delphi and factor analysis. Items were scored using conventional 1-2-3-4 Likert scores for the response categories. Results: We developed eight subscales by using factor analysis and validation process: physical environment (3 items), job demand (8 items), insufficient job control (5 items), interpersonal conflict (4 items), job insecurity (6 items), organizational system (7 items), lack of reward (6 items), and occupational climate (4 items). Together they explained 50.0% of total variance. Internal consistency alpha scores were ranged from 0.51 to 0.82. Twenty-four items of the short form of the KOSS (KOSS-SF) were also developed to estimate job stress in the work setting. Because the levels of the subscales of occupational stress were gender dependent, gender-specific standard norms for both the 43-item full version and the 24-item short form using a quartile for the subscales of KOSS were presented. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that KOSS might be an appropriate measurement scale to estimate occupational stress of Korean employees. Further and more detailed study needs to be conducted to improve the validity of this scale.

김민(Min Kim),최말옥(Malok Choi),전동일(Dongil Chun) 한국산학기술학회 2019 한국산학기술학회논문지 Vol.20 No.8

본 연구의 목적은 ICF-VR 코어셋과 가치판단 분석툴인 IPC를 이용하여 프리젠티즘 도구에 대한 내용분석을 실시하는 것이 목적이다. 이를 위해 현재 국내에서 프리젠티즘을 측정하는 자기보고식 도구인 KOSS-SF(한국인 직무스트레스 측정도구 단축형)와 PWI-SF(사회-심리적 건강측정도구 단축형)를 사용하였으며, 척도문항 분류와 문항에 포함되어 있는 코드를 분석하여 프리젠팀즘을 측정하기 위해 추가되어야 하는 직업재활 요인을 제안하였다. 2018년 12월부터 2019년 2월까지 연구가 수행되었다. 저자들은 ICF와 IPC의 연결규칙에 따라 2가지 도구들을 독립적으로 분석하였으며, 연구자 간 일치도는 90%로 나타났다. KOSS-SF는 60개, PWI-SF는 34개의 ICF-VR 코드와 연결되어 있으며, 활동과 참여, 신체기능을 측정하는 것으로 나타났다. IPC 분석틀에 따른 결과는 Rational-Social, Emotional-Psychological 영역을 측정하는 것으로 나타났다. 2가지 도구들은 ICF-VR 코어셋과 일치율이 30%이하로 나타나 직업재활 영역을 적절하게 반영하고 있지 않으며, 특히 환경영역 측정에 제한적인 것으로 나타났다. 프리젠티즘을 측정하기 위해 ICF 신체구조, 환경요인, 개인요인에 대한 문항들이 추가되어야 하며, 보다 명확한 응답수집을 위해 설문에 대한 기준점이나 가이드라인이 개발되어야 할 것이다. 이러한 연구결과를 기반으로 추후연구에 대한 제안과 논의를 제공하였다. This study analyzed the contents of KOSS-SF and PWI-SF by using ICF-VR core set and IPC framework for value judgment. The two instruments are self-report questionnaires commonly used for presenteeism in order to suggest vocational rehabilitation factors to predict presenteeism. The study was conducted from Dec 2018 to Feb 2019. For the analysis, the researchers independently linked the scales using the connection rules of ICF and IPC framework. The average agreement between the researchers was 90%. KOSS-SF was linked with 60 ICF-VR codes and PWI-SF with 34 ICF-VR codes, and mainly measured activities and participation, and body function domains. According to the IPC framework, the instruments were found to measure the Rational-Social, and Emotional-Psychological aspects. As a result, the two instruments did not adequately reflect the presenteeism (30% matched) and were particularly limited in ICF-VR environmental domains. Based on the results, questions of ICF body structure, environmental, and personal domains should be added to improve the validity of the presenteeism scale, and references and guidelines should be developed for collecting clearer data. Further study and discussion were provided.

Kim Ji Ho,김환철,Kim Min Sun,Yang Seong-Cheol,박신구,임종한,Lee Dong-Wook 대한직업환경의학회 2023 대한직업환경의학회지 Vol.35 No.1

Background: Studies on the association between occupational stress and depression have been frequently reported. However, the cross-sectional designs of studies limited insight into causal associations. In this study, we investigated the longitudinal association between occupational stress and new-onset depression among employees in a single manufacturing plant. Methods: The annual health checkup data of employees at a manufacturing plant in Korea were collected. A total of 1,837 male employees without depression who completed a health checkup during two consecutive years were included. Occupational stress was measured using a short form of the Korea Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS-SF), and depression was assessed using a Patient Health Questionnaire-2. The association between occupational stress change over the two years and newly developed depression was investigated using two logistic regression models. Results: Across all sub-factors of KOSS-SF, employees who reported increased occupational stress had a higher risk of new-onset depression. Newly developed depression was significantly associated with job demand (odds ratio [OR]: 4.34; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.37–7.96), job insecurity (OR: 3.21; 95% CI: 1.89–5.48), occupational climate (OR: 3.18; 95% CI: 1.91–5.31), lack of reward (OR: 2.28; 95% CI: 1.26–4.12), interpersonal conflict (OR: 2.14; 95% CI: 1.18–3.86), insufficient job control (OR: 1.93; 95% CI: 1.05–3.56), and the organizational system (OR: 1.84; 95% CI: 1.01–3.36). Conclusions: For every sub-factor of the KOSS-SF, occupational stress increase and persistent high stress were associated with the risk of developing new-onset depression. Among the seven sub-factors, job demand had the most significant effect. Our results show that occupational stress should be managed to promote employee mental healthcare.

Petrogenesis of lavas from Mokolo-Kosséhone region, northernmost segment of the Cameroon Volcanic Line: constraints from major/trace elements and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic data

Rikangsou Tchouhla,Merlin Gountié Dedzo,Boris Chako-Tchamabé,Gervais Onana,Djamilatou Diddi Hamadjoda,Pierre Christel Biakan à Nyotok,Klamadji Moussa Ngarena,Asobo Nkengmatia Elvis Asaah,Pierre Kamgan 한국지질과학협의회 2023 Geosciences Journal Vol.27 No.2

This study presents major and trace elements, and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope data of the Mokolo-Kosséhone volcanic rock (basanite, trachybasalt, trachyte, and rhyolite) from the northernmost segment of the Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL). The basanite sample exhibits primitive character (MgO: 12–14 wt%; Mg#: 69–72; Ni: 327–427 ppm; Cr: 524–599 ppm; Co: 57–60 ppm). Trace element and isotopic signatures of the mafic lavas are similar to those of OIB. The trends observed in the major oxides and compatible trace elements against SiO2 from basanite to rhyolite are attributed to the fractionation of different mineral phases such as Fe-Ti oxides, olivine, clinopyroxene, feldspar, and quartz. The enrichment in LREEs and depletion in HREEs associated with (La/Yb)N > 5 (12.39–32.65), (Tb/Yb)N > 1.7 (1.71–2.89), and Dy/Yb > 2 (2.16–3.63), suggest the presence of a garnet phase in a mantle source. The lavas were produced at varying depths by low degrees of partial melting (< 4%) of a source containing less than 5% of garnet peridotite. The 206Pb/204Pb values of basanite (19.69630–19.79122) are similar to those of FOZO (206Pb/204Pb > 19.5). The trachybasalt samples with 206Pb/204Pb values of 19.25 and 19.37 suggest the probable enrichment of magma with a high-μ (HIMU) signature (206Pb/204Pb < 19.5) by a crustal component. Trace elements and isotopic compositions (87Sr/86Sr: 0.70308–0.70378, 143Nd/144Nd: 0.51287–0.51296, 206Pb/204Pb: 19.24652–19.79122) of the Mokolo-Kosséhone lavas are consistent with a mixture of different source material from the sub-continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) and the asthenosphere with minor crustal contamination. The composition of the source is analogous to those described in the northern portion of the CVL and other volcanic massifs along the CVL.

Hye Sook Jang,Eunha Yoo,Jeong Hee Kim,Sun-Jin Jeong,Jae Soon Kim,Doo Young Ryu 인간식물환경학회 2021 인간식물환경학회지 Vol.24 No.2

Background and objective: This study was carried out to investigate and analyze the preference for plant fragrance and the psychological effects of a agro-healing activity in 101 firefighters aged 39.71 ± 10.94. Methods: For the psychological evaluation, post-traumatic stress symptoms, Korean occupational stress scale short form (KOSS-SF), emotional intelligence, and job satisfaction were surveyed on the Likert scale. For the preference for plant fragrances, 20 ㎕ of commercially available essential oils from four plant species (Mentha spp., Lavandula spp., Citrus limon, C. sinensis) were absorbed into each test paper and provided to the participants. Results: The rate of post-traumatic stress symptoms was high at 37.6% of the firefighters surveyed.. C. limon fragrance had the highest preference among the four plant fragrances, followed by C. sinensis 〉 Mentha spp. 〉 Lavandula spp. with statistically significant difference (F = 14.256, p < .001). The lower their age, income, and position, and higher the education level, the higher the preference for plant fragrances. And the administrative group had higher preference for plant fragrances than field group. In addition, as a result of examining the correlation between job satisfaction, preference for plant fragrance, post-traumatic stress, emotional intelligence, and job stress for fire-fighters, the higher the job satisfaction, the higher the fragrance preference and emotional intelligence, and the lower the post-traumatic stress and job stress. Conclusion: Therefore, installing a garden using botanical fragrances at workplaces that firefighters can easily access will improve job satisfaction and relieve stress. It can be concluded that applying the fragrance of plants to the healing farming activities at the fire-fighter s workplace can increase the usefulness of the healing activities.

This study was undertaken to identify the correlation between the quality of sleep and job stress among occupational therapists. The study provides basic data related to the quality of sleep of occupational therapists and suggests ways to reduce job stress through sleep quality improvement. From June 27 to July 30, 2022, the quality of sleep and job stress were assessed through the sleep quality scale and KOSS-SF, respectively. The subjects included 194 occupational therapists working in hospitals and other institutions across the country. The collected data were subjected to descriptive statistics and Pearsons correlation analysis using SPSS 21.0. Our results determined that the average quality of sleep was low, averaging 2.03±.22, and was significantly correlated with job stress. These results confirm the relationship between quality of sleep and job stress. Based on the data obtained, it is important to recognize that enhanced quality of sleep should be considered a criterion for reducing job stress.

Sang-Hee Kang,Yoon-Jung Boo,Ji-Sung Lee,Woong-Bae Ji,Byoung-Eun Yoo,Ji-Young You 대한외과학회 2013 Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research(ASRT) Vol.84 No.5

Purpose: Surgeons serve one of the most challenging and stressful professions. Ineffective control of occupational stress leads to burnout of the surgeon. The aim of this study was to obtain preliminary data on the sources and the degree of stress of surgeons and to determine the feasibility of the survey. Methods: A total of 63 surgeons in our three affiliated hospitals were enrolled in this study. Fifty-five questions were used to assess the demographics, characteristics and Korean occupational stress scale (KOSS), which were prepared and validated by the National Study for Development and Standardization of Occupational Stress. Results: Forty-seven of the 63 surgeons participated in this study (74.6%). The mean KOSS score of the survey was 50.9 ± 8.55, which was significantly higher than that of other professions (P < 0.01). Drinking and smoking habits were not related to the KOSS score. Doing exercise was related to a low KOSS score in terms of low KOSS total score (P < 0.01). Average duty hours (P < 0.01) and night duty days per week (P = 0.01) were strongly related to higher KOSS in the linear regression analysis. Conclusion: This is the first study to evaluate job stress of surgeons in Korea. This study showed that Korean Surgeons had higher occupational stress than other Korean professions. A larger study based on this pilot study will help generate objective data for occupational stress of Korean Surgeons by performing a survey of the members of the Korean Surgical Society.

Hyun-Wook Jeong,Yu-Chang Kim,Seung-Chul Park 대한인간공학회 2012 대한인간공학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2012 No.11

Background: In recent years, Korea"s shipbuilding industry is being rapidly expanded the offshore plant industry. These changes are increasing interest on job stress, it’s one of main issues in occupational health field. Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences of job stressors and job stress among white and blue-collar workers. Method: The survey was using Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS) questionnaire and was administered to 8,080 workers of large shipyard company. Result: As a result of the survey, compared with the median score of Korean workers, job stress level of shipyard company workers was low. However, seven categories of KOSS, except for job demand showed higher stress levels of blue-collar workers than white-collar workers. Conclusion: The overall stress level of shipyard company workers is low, however, it is important to find stressors by considering the type of work, working period etc., through a detailed analysis of KOSS 8-categories. Application: The results of this study may be helpful to identify the level of stress and to establish preventive measures in Shipyard Company.
