Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the subjective symptoms of respiratory disease and factors related to prevalent status among dental technicians by analyzing the questionnaire data from 300 dental technicians in Seoul and GyeongGi-Do, using SPSS WIN 18.0 program. The results are followings; 1. There were significant differences among subjects in the normal complaints rate for cough by presence smoking, total career, and work days per week. 2. There was significant difference among subjects in the normal complaints rate for sputum only by work days per week.(P<0.05) 3. There were significant differences among subjects in the normal complaints rate for continuance of sputum or congestion by work days per week and required measures for improvement in pain. 4. There were significant differences among subjects in the normal complaints rates for blocked nose and coryza by sex, age, work days per week and average length of breaking time during working (P<0.05). 5. There were significant differences among subjects in the normal complaints rates for shortness of breath by sex, exercise frequency, average length of exercise, main job. 6. There was significant difference among subjects in the experience rate due to symptom of pulmonary disease only by main job.(P<0.05).

본 연구는 치과기공사의 호흡기 질환의 자각증상과 관련되는 작업요인을 알아보기 위해 서울시, 경기도 지역의 치과기공사 300명을 대상으로 설문조사 데이터를 SPSS WIN 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 분석결과 연구 대상자의 평소 기침 호소율은 성별, 현재 흡연유무, 총 기공경력, 주당 근무일수 항목에서 유의한 차이가 있었고, 둘째, 연구대상자의 평소 가래 호소율은 주당 근무일수 항목에서만 유의한 차이가 있었다(P<0.05). 셋째, 연구대상자의 가래나 담이 지속되는 호소율은 주당 근무일수, 통증 증상 호전을 위해 필요한 조치 항목에서 유의한 차이가 있었고, 넷째, 연구대상자의 평소 코막힘, 코감기 호소율은 성별, 연령, 주당 근무일수, 업무 중 휴식시간 항목에서 유의한 차이가 있었다(P<0.05). 다섯째, 연구 대상자의 평소 숨참 호소율은 성별, 운동정도, 운동 평균시간, 주된 업무 항목에서 유의한 차이가 있었고, 여섯째, 연구 대상자의 폐질환 증상으로 인한 결근 경험율은 주된 업무 항목에서만 유의한 차이가 있었다(P<0.05).
