Abstract

|
The purpose of this study is to grasp the relationship between the amount of physical activities at work perceived by workers and their health promotion behaviors.
To achieve such a purpose, this survey was conducted on 476 Workers who work for 3 food product work-sites located in Keong-in area by means of questionnaire from June 15 to July 14, 1998. Collected data were statistically analyzed by SPSS/WIN.
The significant results were obtained as follows.
1. The average scores of the amount of physical activities at work and health promotion behavior were 3.18 and 2.84 respectively; the former was slightly higher than moderate score 2.5 and the latter was almost the same as it. It can be interpreted that workers perceive their physical activities at work are heavier than their daily activities, which seems to make their health promotion behaviors still inactivated.
2. The amount of physical activities at work, it was were greater revealed that the more activities workers do after work, the more they walk and the more exercises they do.
It implies that the voluntary practice of good health habit at leisure can be greatly contributed to the activation of more productive activity at work.
3. The amount of health promotion behaviors was larger as workers do more physical activities at work and have lower PIBW(Percent Ideal Body Weight). It means that the voluntary practice of good health habit is closely related to the degree of obesity and their positive attitude toward their work. Average PIBW was 106.71; most of the workers are distributed within the standard range in their weight. So we can presume that most of them are not seriously conscious of weight maintenance in their daily lives.
Therefore it is desirable that health promotion program for workers should be developed toward connecting their physical activities at work with those in their daily lives much more.
