목적: 이 연구의 목적은 우리나라 직장인들의 직무스트레스를 측정하기 위한 신뢰성과 타당성 있는 도구를 개발하고 평가기준 및 참고치를 제시하기 위해 수행되었다. 대상 방법: 연구 대상은 2차의 걸친 표본추출과정에 의해 선정되었다. 1차 표본은 NSDSOS 프로젝트의 수행을 고안된 3개의 광역권에서 조사된 직장인 30, 146명이고, 2차 표준산업분류(대분류 중분류)에 따른 근로자 인구 분포를 고려하여 확률 추출되어 선정된 12, 631명으로 이들을 대상으로 하여 표준화 작업과 규준을 마련하였다. 전문가 회의와 사전조사를 통해 작성된 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 일반적 특성, 직업적 건강상태(가족력, 질병 과거력 의료이용현황), 직무스트레스 측정도구, 단축형 사회심리적 스트레스(PWI-SF), 피로(MFS) 등을 측정하였다. 그리고 한국인 수준을 측정 평가할 수 표준화된 측정도구와 평가를 성별 도출하였다. 결과: 한국인의 요인으로 간주될 요인을 기존 연구와 외국의 연구결과를 검토...
As we have summarized, a confluence of pathophysiological and epidemiological studies establish that both acute chronic forms psychosocial stress contribute to the pathogenesis atherosclerosis. Clinical consequences include development myocardial ischemia, cardiac arrhythmias, fostering more vulnerable coronary plaques hemostatic changes. Chronic affective disorders, such as depression, appear promote atherosclerosis via hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis overstimulation. can...
