There are various types of professional workers from each field working at a rehabilitation hospital. However, treatment services are being provided for patients with serious symptoms for many hours during a day and, as a result, the workers receive much more stress than people working at ordinary companies, which leads to a decline in job satisfaction rate. Accordingly, the purpose is in enhancing job satisfaction rate of rehabilitation hospital workers through participation in sports activities that provide great help to health management and work efficiency improvement. Method: For research subjects, nurses at rehabilitation hospitals in Pusan city, nursing assistants, physical therapist, occupational therapist and administrative workers were selected.
