도시근교지역 농작업자들의 농부증과 피로자각증상의 관련성

국문 초록 (Abstract)

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.
