Abstract

|
|
This study is designed to analyze the factors influencing the health care activities of industrial H. nurses working in Seoul. Toward this end, 88 industrial H. nurses were inter-viewed from August 25th-September 30th, 1986. Also records of their health care activi-ties work for one week period was analyzed.
Major findings are as follows:
1. Subjects
39.6 percent of the firms surveyed in this study had 300-1000 employees. 50.5 percent were in the manufacturing sector.
The age of industrial H. nurses surveyed in this study averaged 28, while 64.8 percent of them had junior college education and 63.7 percent were unmarried. They had an average working experience of 2 years .8 months. By and large they were satisfied with their work. Their average salary was 390 thousand won a month. 76.9 percent were working in in-dependent facilities. 60.4 percent were employed on a part time basis. Management was mostly positive toward industrial H. nursing care.
2. Factors influencing the activities of industrial nurses
Industrial H. nurses aged between 30 and 34 showed a relatively higher level off health care activities, while those aged between 25 and 29 showed a lower level of health care activities. The difference was not statistically significant.
Those with four years of experience showed the highest level of activities, while those with less than one year experience showed the lowest. Again this was not statistically signi-ficant.
The differences in motivation with regard to nursing care and environment management work showed a statistically significant difference (P < 0.01). Those who sought employment
out of the sense of moral obligation showed the highest level of activities.
Those who are satisfied with their work showed a relatively high level of activities, though not statistically significant. As for working conditions, those who work less than 9 hours a day and/or work in independent facilities showed higher level of activities. It was not statistically significant. However those working under the management with a clear under-standing of the need for industrial H. nursing care showed a higher level of activities, which is statistically significant (P < 0.05). Those exclusively responsible for health care showed a higher level of activities, particularly, in the welfare work (P < 0.05).
