Abstract

This study describes on the level of back pain knowledge from a survey that conducted from November 1, 2013 to January 31, 2014 for 82 cement factory workers at C region in Chung-Buk. The survey results showed that 56.1% of workers experienced back pain. Also the number of back pain of workers increased when workers who subjected more stresses from their works, had been growth in urban area and have not satisfied their given works. The survey also show that workers who subjected back pain once, usually they stopped smoking and reduced drinking, and they willing to take education for back pain-reducing. The worker's level of back pain knowledge was relatively low scores as 56.29 points in the 100-point conversion score, specially back pain associated with the posture were the lowest point of 50 points. Knowledge of back pain, a positive correlation was observed. Finally workers experienced back pain and education of back pain had higher willing to receive the education in the future. However, workers were not obtained the knowledge information on back pain indicated lower scores.

본 연구는 시멘트 사업장 근로자들의 요통 관련 요인과 지식수준을 파악하기 위해 2013년 11월 1일부터 2014년 1월 31까지 충북 C 지역에 소재한 시멘트업에 종사하는 근로자 82명을 대상으로 설문 조사 한 결과 다음과 같다. 근로자의 요통 경험율은 56.1%였으며, 관련 인자는 대도시와 읍면지역에서 성장한 응답자와 업무 스트레스가 많고, 업무환경에 만족하지 않을수록 요통에 대한 정보가 없을수록 요통발생이 높았고, 요통을 경험한 응답자는 흡연을 하다 담배를 끊고, 음주도 줄이는 것으로 나타났고 향후 요통관련 교육을 받을 의향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 근로자의 요통관련 지식수준은 서로 양의 상관관계를 갖고 100점 환산 점수로 56.29로 낮은 수준을 보였고, 특히 자세와 관련된 요통지식이 50점으로 가장 낮았다. 요통경험과 교육에 따른 지식수준은 향후 요통 교육을 받을 의향이 있는 자에서 운동 관련 요통 지식 점수가 유의하게 높게 나타났으며, 요통 지식정보를 얻지 못한 응답자는 모든 지식수준이 낮은 점수를 보였고 유의한 차이가 있었다. 따라서 요통관련 산업 현장의 적극적인 관심과 더불어 요통관련 보건 교육 프로그램을 통해 요통관련 지식수준을 높임으로 효율적인 치유와 예방이 이루어지도록 해야 할 것이다.
