Trends of Occupational Health Nursing Research in Korea

Abstract

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to identify the trends of occupational health nursing research by analyzing the Korean Journal of Occupational Health Nursing for the last 20 years. Methods: A total of 268 published papers during the 20 year period were analyzed with structured analysis forms. Results: Most of the articles were descriptive, but the number of experimental studies increased. Fifty-five percents of the subjects were healthy workers. Most common selection of subjects appeared to be based on convenience. Sixty-eight percent of research instruments were questionnaires and the reliability and the validity of instruments were described in approximately half of the studies. Parametric statistics were the main methods of data analysis, but some advanced statistics were often used rather than simple descriptive statistics. Mainly "health" has been studied (47.9%) among four meta-paradigms of nursing science. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop more rigorous and various research methodology such as longitudinal design, experimental study, or randomized controlled trial. Also, special attention must be paid to studying the environment of workers.

A work-relatedness assessment in epidemiological case investigation of occupational cancers: I. Principles

“…Purdue et al [ 10 ] reported that an estimated 2%–8% of cancers resulted from occupational exposure to carcinogens (3%–14% in men and 1%–2% in women). Kim [ 11 ] reported an estimated 5,846 cases of occupational cancers in 2005; however, only 30 patients received compensation.…”

Trend Analysis of Nurses' Stress Based on the Last 10 Years of International Research

“…시도가 미흡한 바, 간호사의 특수한 환경과 복잡한 스트레스 원을 반영할 수 있는 스트레스 측정도구의 개발에 대한 국가 적 지원과 학계의 노력이 필요하다. 연구가 많은 반면 환경에 대한 연구가 부족하다는 일관적 인 결과를 보고하였다(Choe et al, 2009;Kim & Lee, 2011). 본 연구결과와 국내 연구의 경향을 비교하였을 때, 간호사 스 트레스에 관한 국외 논문은 환경영역에 대한 비중이 상대적으 로 높음을 알 수 있었다.…”
