The goal of this study was to determine whether food industry workers are exposed to musculoskeletal loads due to the work time, frequency, awkward postures and inappropriate workspace design. Three catering workers were evaluated based on job analysis and posture analysis. The results showed that the four most time-consuming tasks were arranging(17%), cooking(16%), handling before cooking(15%) and cutting(15%), and the four most frequent tasks were arranging(21%), cooking(18%), handling after cooking(16%) and handling before cooking(13%). The most common posture was a standing posture(73%) with neutral back(73%), and bent head(50%), left lower arm(71%), right lower arm(78%) and right hand(60%). The comparative analysis of subtasks for the risk levels of musculoskeletal disorders was conducted using the work time, frequency and cumulative time of the postures. The ``displaying`` and ``handling after cooking`` showed higher risk levels than other subtasks. In addition, the height and length of the tables were evaluated to be inadequate for the workers. It can be concluded that the working environments for catering workers of restaurants should be improved due to the high cumulative time of awkward postures of upper extremities.

Objectives : While cervical cancer is one of the leading cancers among women worldwide, there are a number of effective early detection tests available. However, the participation rates in cervical cancer screening among Korean women remain low. After the nationwide efforts in 1988 and thereafter to encourage participation in cervical cancer screening, few studies have investigated the effects of socioeconomic inequality on participation in cervical cancer screening. The purpose of this study was to investigate 1) the level of socioeconomic disparities in receiving cervical cancer screening by age group and 2) if there was an improvement in reducing these disparities between 1995 and 2001. Methods : Using data from the Korean National Health Status, Health Behavior and Belief Survey in 1995, the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 1998 and 2001 (sample sizes of 2,297, 3,738, and 3,283), age-standardized participation rates were calculated according to education level, equivalized household income, and job status. Odds ratios and the relative inequality index (RII) were also calculated after controlling for age. Results : Women with lower education levels were less likely to attend the screening test, and the disparities by education level were most pronounced among women aged 60 years and older. The RIIs among women 60 years and older were 3.64, 4.46, and 8.64 in 1995, 1998, and 2001, respectively. Higher rates of participation were reported among those in the highest income category, which was more notable among the middle aged women (40s and 50s). An inconsistent trend in the rate of participation in cervical cancer screening by occupational level was found. Conclusions : Indicators of socioeconomic position seem to have varying impacts on the inequalities in the rates of participation in cervical cancer screening according to age group. These results demonstrate the need for more aggressive and age-based interventions and policy programs to eliminate the remaining inequalities.

Objectives : Socioeconomic position (SEP) refers to the socioeconomic factors that influence which position an individual or group of people will hold within the structure of a society. In this study, we provide a comprehensive review of various indicators of SEP, including education level, occupation-based SEP, income and wealth, area SEP, life-course SEP, and SEP indicators for women, elderly and youth. Methods and results : This report provides a brief theoretical background and discusses the measurement, interpretation issues, advantages and limitations associated with the use of each SEP indicator. We also describe some problems that arise when selecting SEP indicators and highlight the indicators that appear to be appropriate for health inequality research. Some practical information for use in health inequality research in South Korea is also presented. Conclusions : Investigation into the associations between various SEP indicators and health outcomes can provide a more complete understanding of mechanisms between SEP and health. The relationship between specific SEP indicators and specific health outcomes can vary by country due to the differences in the historical, socioeconomic, and cultural contexts of the SEP indicators.

소규모사업장 보건관리기술지원사업 지원여부에 따른 사업장내 의사소통 비교

목적: 소규모사업장 보건관리기술지원사업 지원여부에 따라 사업장내 위험의사소통채널이 마련되었는지와 이 채널이 기능을 하는지, 그리고 의사소통채널마련과 사업장내 위험의사소통 활성화의 기본적이고 중요한 배경이 되는 사업주의 산업보건에 대한 관심이 차이가 있는지에 대해 살펴보고자 하였다. 방법: 서울, 안산, 대전, 광주, 포항 지역에서 보건관리기술지원사업을 받은 사업장과 받지 않은 사업장을 대상으로 비례층화무작위표본추출법을 사용하여 추출한 후 1991년 12월 6일부터 10일간 우편설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문대상은 각 사업장의 남녀 각 1명, 보건업무담당자, 사업주였으며, 설문내용은 사업장 및 응답자의 일반적 특성 및 사업장내 위험의사소통이었다. 설문에 응답이 온 463개 사업장의 자료를 자료처리하여 총 228개 사업장(단해년도지원 사업장 189개, 연속2년지원 사업장 13개, 비지원사업장 26개)을 대상으로 분석하였다. 결과: 사업장내 의사소통에 대한 단변량분석에서는 보건업무 담당자의 선정여부만이 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 소규모사업장 보건관리기술지원사업을 지원받지 않은 사업장과 지원받은 사업장의 사업장내 위험의사소통을 비교하기 위한 로지스틱회귀분석 결과, 모든 항목에서 통계적으로는 유의한 차이를 보여주지 않았다. 그러나 사업주의 관심(OR ; 1.63, 95% CI ; 0.38~7.01)과 보건업무담당자의 선정(OR ; 3.67, 95% CI ; 1.00~13.44) 및 결정권한(OR ; 1.48, 95% CI ; 0.25~8.91), 사업주의 산업보건문제 소통(OR ; 3.07, 95% CI ; 0.81~11.71), 보건업무담당자의 정보요청경험(OR; 4.48, 95% CI ; 0.97~20.57)에서는 지원받지 않은 사업장에 비해 지원받은 사업장에서 교차비가 증가하는 양상을 보여주었다. 반면 노동자의 산업보건문제 소통가능성여부는 오히려 교차비가 0.53(95% CI ; 0.11~2.44)로 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. 결론: 소규모사업장 보건관리기술지원사업을 의사소통의 측면에서 평가해보면, 사업주나 보건업무담당자에게는 다소 효과가 있었지만 노동자가 지속적으로 참여할 수 있도록 의사소통문화를 바꾸어내는 데에는 한계가 있었다. 개선을 위해서는 노동자 중심의 접근 프로그램의 개발 및 시행이 시급하다 할 수 있다. Objectives :This study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the government-funded subsidized occupational health program for small-scale enterprises(GSOHP_SSE) by occupational health com-munication in workplace. Methods : We sampled the 1,835 enterprises of study by proportional stratified random sampling among industries of supported and not supported by GSOHP_SSE in Seoul, Ansan, Daejeon, Kwang-joo and Pohang. Information on the general characteristics of enterprises and respondants and occupational health communication in the workplace was collected on self-reported questionnaires by post-survey between December 6 and 15 in 2001. We received answers from 463 enterprises and analyzed 228 enterprises through data-cleaning by logistic regression to evaluate effectiveness of GSOHP-SSE about occupational health communication in the workplace. Results : By multiple logistic regression analysis, GSOHP_SSE turned out not to be statistically significant factor in all dependent variables about occupational health communication in the work-place. The concern of owner(odds ratio (below OR) ; 1.63, 95% confidence interval(below 95% CI) ; 0.38-7.01), formation(OR ; 3.67, 95% CI ; 1.00-13.44) and empowerment(OR ; 1.48, 95% CI ; 0.25-8.91) of health manager, request about occupational health problem of health manager(OR ;4.48, 95% CI ; 0.97-20.57) and occupational health communication of owner (OR ; 3.07, 95% CI ; 0.81-11.71) had the trend increasing OR in the industries supported GS-OHP_SSE relative to the industries not supported. But in recognition of possibility on occupational health communication of laborers, OR of GSOHP_SSE was decreased in 0.53(95% CI ; 0.11-2.44). Conclusions: This study found that the GSOHP_SSE was some effective to the side of employer and health manager, but had a limitation about change of communication culture useful to the laborers. We suggested the laborer-centered health training programs or the empowerment-based health training programs for effective occupational health management in the workplace.
