Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify correlations between the musculoskeletal symptoms and job stress of occupational therapists at rehabilitation hospitals. To this end, the study conducted a survey on 210 occupational therapists at rehabilitation hospitals located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do between June 1 and July 30, 2014. The average age of the subjects who participated in this study was $25.4{\pm}3.4$ years old, and their average work period was $2.3{\pm}2.1$ years. The subjects included 151 women (71.9%) and 171 permanent workers (81.4%). Among the subjects, 114 individuals (54.3%) had experienced a musculoskeletal symptom, and their major affected areas included hands/fingers (21%) and legs (18.6%). The percentage of high risk group of job stress was higher in musculoskeletal symptom group. And the proportion of high risk for job stress was higher in females. In particular, males showed significant differences in 'job demands', 'inappropriate reward', 'occupational climate' and females showed significant differences in 'Interpersonal conflict', 'inappropriate reward'(p<0.05).

본 연구는 재활병원 작업치료사들의 근골격계 증상과 직무스트레스와의 관련성을 알아보기 위해 서울 및 경기도에 위치한 재활병원 작업치료사 총 210명을 대상으로 2014년 6월 1일부터 7월 30일 사이에 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구에 참여한 대상자들의 평균 연령은 $25.4{\pm}3.4$세이었고, 평균 근무기간은 $2.3{\pm}2.1$년이었다. 참여자 중 여자가 151명(71.9%)이었고 정규직이 171명(81.4%)이었다. 대상자들 중 114명(54.3%)이 근골격계 증상을 경험하였고, 주된 손상부위는 손/손가락(21%)과 다리(18.6%)였다. 여성이 직무스트레스의 고위험군이 남성에 비해 더 많았고 직무스트레스에 대한 위험도가 높을수록 근골격계 발생 빈도가 증가하였다. 남성은 '직무요구', '보상부적절'과 '직장문화'에서 스트레스가 높을수록 근골격계 발생 빈도가 증가하였고, 여성은 '관계갈등', '보상부적절' 에 대한 스트레스가 높을수록 근골격계 발생 빈도가 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다(p<0.05).
