치과위생사의 감정노동과 우울 및 수면의 질

Abstract

최근, 다양한 산업영역에서 감정노동으로 인한 건강영향에 대해 보고되고 있어, 고위험 직업군 중의 하나인 치과위생사에서 이로 인한 실태를 파악할 필요가 증대되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 임상 치과위생사의 감정노동 수준과 우울 및 수면의 질 정도를 확인하고, 이들 간의 의 관련성을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구방법은 2016년 2월 15일부터 3월 15일까지 서울, 인천 및 경기지역에 소재한 치과의원 및 치과병원, 종합병원 및 대학병원에서 근무하는 치과위생사 224명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다, 치과위생사의 감정노동은 33.14±5.55점이며, 학력, 직위, 건강상태, 관절염, 허리‧ 목의 통증 유무에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 우울은 19.20±10.45점이며, 연령, 결혼, 근무시간, 근무경력, 운동, 건강상태, 관절염, 허리·목의 통증, 호흡기장애, 두통, 위장장애에 따라 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 수면의 질은 7.49±2.82점이며, 결혼, 건강상태, 관절염, 두통, 위장장애, 피부질환, 하지정맥류에 따라 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 피어슨 상관분석결과 감정노동과 우울 및 수면의 질은 유의미한 정(+)의 상관관계에 있었으며, 감정노동이 높아질수록 우울이 높아지고, 수면의 질이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 선형 회귀분석결과 우울에 영향을 미치는 요인은 수면의 질, 감정노동, 건강상태, 연령, 운동, 호흡기장애, 근무경력에서 통계적으로 유의한 연관성이 있었다. 수면의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인은 우울, 하지정맥류, 위장장애에서 유의한 연관성이 있었다. 본 연구결과를 통하여, 감정노동이 우울 및 수면의 질의 관련성을 확인하였으며, 치과위생사의 우울 및 수면장애를 예방하기 위하여 감정노동을 관리할 수 있는 방법 및 교육 프로그램개발에 힘써야 할 필요성이 있다.| Recent studies show that adverse health effects can be caused by emotional labor among workers in a wide range of industrial fields, and dental hygienist has been known as one of the highest risk group of emotional labor. This study aimed to investigate the present condition of emotional labor and the association between depressive symptom and quality of sleep among dental hygienists. By questioning survey, data were corrected from 224 dental hygienists worked in a dental clinic, a dental hospital, general hospital and a university hospital located in Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi-do Province from February 15th through to March 15th, 2016. The mean score of emotional labor was 33.14±5.55 and had statistically significant differences by the level of education, position, physical condition, with or without of arthritis, backache and neckache. For Depression, the mean score was 19.20±10.45, and by age, marriage, working hours, exercise, physical condition, arthritis, backache, neckache, respiratory disorder, headache and gastroenteric trouble were statistically significant different. For quality of sleep, the mean score was 7.49±2.82, and were statistically significant different by marriage, physical condition, arthritis, headache, respiratory disorder, skin disease and varicose vein. Pearson correlation analysis showed that emotional labor, depressive symptom and quality of sleep have positive correlation. When emotional labor increase, depressive symptom also increase and quality of sleep decrease. Quality of sleep, emotional labor, physical condition, age, exercise, respiratory disorder, working experience were significantly affecting to depressive symptom and quality of sleep were significantly related with depressive symptom, varicose vein, respiratory disorder by linear regression analysis, The results of this study indicated that emotional labor is correlated with depression and quality of sleep. This study highlights the necessity to develop emotional labor management strategy and education program in order to prevent depression and sleep disorder of dental Hygienists.; Recent studies show that adverse health effects can be caused by emotional labor among workers in a wide range of industrial fields, and dental hygienist has been known as one of the highest risk group of emotional labor.
