다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background Heavy Industrial worker feels suffer mental stresses which are caused by heavy work, noisy environment. Such stresses influence health of the workers negatively. Thus the health promotion policy for heavy industrial workers should be made considering the workers' ways of living. This study attempted to provide basic information for development of the health promotion program for heavy industrial workers by examining predictive factors influencing health promotion behaviors of those workers. Method Data were collected from May 8th to May 27th, 1999 using questionnaires with helps of safety and health managers of the plants. Means for the study included the measurement tool of health promotion behavior provided by Park(1995), the tool of self-efficacy measurement by Suh(1995), the tool of locus of control measurement by Oh(1987), the measurement tool of perceived health state by Park(1995) and the tool of self-esteem measurement by Miller(1995). The collected data were analyzed frequency, percentage, standard deviation, t-test. ANOVA Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, multiple stepwise regression. Result Results are summarized as follows. 1. average score of health promotion behaviors 2.63±0.36(min.:1.68, max. : 3.86). In 5 areas of health promotion behavior, it showed the highest level self-realization 3.10±.42 followed by harmonious interrelationship, 2.78±.40 stress(2.55±.49), exercise and nutrition(2.46±.54), resposibility of health(2.22±.47). 2. Relations between demosociographical facters and health promotion behaviors were showed significant differences according to income(F=3.61, P=.007), age(F=3.85, P=.011). 3. Corelation between perceived factors and health promotion behavior the performance was significantly positive with self-esteem(r=.639, P=.000), and perceived health state(r=.559, P=.00) and self-efficiency(r=.557, p=.000) internal locus of control(r=.309, P=.000), external locus of control(r=.233, P=.000). 4. the Self-esteem 40.8% perceived health state, external locus of control, total carreer, carrer, self-efficacy were identified as predictor variables of health promotion behaviors 60.1%. Conclusion In conclusion, the predictive factor which most influence the performance of health promotion behaviors by heavy industrial workers was self-esteem. To promote the health, therefore, it is necessary to develop the nursing intervention program considering predictor variables identified in this study. Further industrial nurses should play their roles actively to help heavy industrial workers increase their capability of self-management of health.
