“…The major limitation is related to the crosssectional analysis and self-reported data, which precludes the authors from making an inference about any causal the workplace and of workload to the capacity and needs of an individual should encourage him/her to remain occupationally active. When studying the relationship between being non-employed or unemployed, and having mental health problems, especially depression, the literature has mostly focused on the influence of job loss on the development of depression [48,49], or on work-related factors and the development of depression [50][51][52][53]. Limited evidence suggests that individuals suffering from depression have more odds for being occupationally inactive.…”

The main objective of this study is to examine the relationship between health and an early exit from paid employment in the Finnish, Polish, and Spanish populations. The authors have addressed the following 3 issues: who chooses not to work according to gender patterns, whether the health status is a determinant of being non-employed, and what diseases are associated with being non-employed. Material and Methods: The studied material consists of data from the Collaborative Research on Ageing in Europe (COURAGE in Europe) project. The analysis was based on a sample of 5868 individuals, including 1214 from Finland, 2152 from Poland and 2532 from Spain. In the paper, these data were complemented with the results of the PArticipation To Healthy Workplaces And inclusive Strategies in the Work Sector (PATHWAYS) project. Results: The results of the study revealed that self-rated health was a strong predictor of being non-employed for different reasons. Chronic diseases, such as arthritis, angina, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, depression and hypertension, were typically associated with an increased risk of being non-employed due to health problems and early retirement. Women more frequently reported arthritis and depression, while a higher proportion of men suffered from angina and diabetes. Conclusions: The results obtained by the authors highlight the importance of evaluating gender patterns in work cessation and, at the same time, the importance of gender-focused actions in terms of preventing withdrawal from the labor market. In principle, all chronic diseases have some impact on participation in the labor market. It is worth noting, however, that each of them affects workforce participation in a different manner, depending on the specific disease, country and gender. For this reason, tailored support to every individual's needs is highly recommended.

요 약 본 연구는 일반 사무직근로자의 근골격계 자각증상 정도에 따른 직무스트레스, 자기효능감, 우울 및 건강관 련 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 시행되었다. 광주광역시 D보건소와 D구청에서 근무하는 근로자 중 구조 화된 설문지를 자발적으로 조사에 응한 83명 중 응답이 불충분한 근로자 3명을 제외한 80명을 최종 분석대상자로 선 정하였다. 실험 결과 근골격계 자각증상 정도에 따른 직무스트레스, 자기효능감, 우울 및 건강관련 삶의 질은 모두 유 의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 건강관련 삶의 질을 제외한 우울, 자기효능감, 직무스트레스 간에 유의한 상관 성을 보였다. 결론적으로 일반 사무직 근로자의 근골격계 자각증상의 정도가 심해질수록 직무스트레스, 자기효능감, 우울 및 건강관련 삶의 질 요인에도 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 향후 근골격계 장애에 따른 불안전한 직무스 트레스, 자기효능감, 우울 및 건강관련 삶의 질의 개선을 위해 다양한 프로그램 개발 및 시행이 필요할 것이다. AbstractThe study aims to evaluate job stress, self-efficacy, depression and health-related quality of life according to musculoskeletal symptoms of the ordinary white-collar worker. The subjects of the study were 83 workers who were working D Health Center and Dgu office of Gwangju Metropolitan City and they were voluntarily interviewed with a use of organized questionnaire. Except the responses from three subjects whose responses were insincere of 102 ones were decided for the final analysis. The results showed that there were significant differences in all job stress, self-efficacy, depression and health-related quality of life according to musculoskeletal symptoms. Depression, self-efficacy, job stress were significantly correlated; however, health related to quality of life was not. Therefore, as the results indicate that job stress, self-efficacy, depression and health-related quality of life can be affected by musculoskeletal pain for office workers, there is a need for the development of programs focused on the prevention of musculoskeletal discomfort.
