|
|
Objective: This study was carried out to examine the factors affecting the fatigue and health promotion behavior of hairdressers and their respective levels. The data were collected from 195 hairdressers working in beauty shops in Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do Province using self-administered questionnaires over the period from July 1 to July 31.
Methods: A multiple regression model was used to study the factors influencing fatigue and health promotion behavior among hairdressers.
Results: This study showed a statistically significant difference in perceived fatigue levels and health promotion behavior according to age, family type, education level, work period, work position, and fatigue level in the past one week. In addition, multiple regression showed that statistically significant factors affecting perceived fatigue were education level, work period, and fatigue level in the past one week. Statistically significant factors affecting health promotion behavior were age and fatigue level in the past one week. The level of perceived fatigue among hairdressers tended to be higher than other workers, and their level of practice of health promotion behavior was generally lower.
Conclusions: The improvement of the work environment, such as through the distribution of a proper workload considering workers’ characteristics and strengthening of exercise programs to reduce the fatigue level and promote health practices among hairdressers is needed.
