Abstract

This study was conducted to examine ’the amount of drinking’ and its perception by female workers who worked
for small and medium-sized workplaces and to find out some variables which affect them. The questionnaire survey was performed on the female workers who worked for 3 distribution companies in Seoul from Feb. 3 to Feb. 15, 2003. A total of 432 questionnaires were collected and analyzed with SPSS 11.0. 1. The average score of ’the amount of drinking’ by
female workers was not a dangerous level for health. However, the percentage of problem drinking in the small
and medium-sized workplaces(17.10%) was much higher than that in the large-sized workplace(5.7%). The amount of drinking by female workers in the small and medium-sized workplaces had -.260 Pearson’s correlation coefficients with age. And 6.7% of ’the amount of drinking’ could be explained by age. This result implies that as their age is lower, their amount of drinking is more problematic. The amount of drinking by female workers in the largesized workplace had -.190 Pearson’s correlation coefficients with education. And 3.6% of ’the amount of drinking’ could be explained by education. This result implies that as their education is lower, their amount of drinking is more problematic. 2. As for the average score of the perception of ’the amount of drinking’, it was 2.3 on the 4-point scale and showed no difference according to the size of workplaces. This result implies that they have a poor understanding on the control of ’the amount of drinking’.
In conclusion, it is desirable that health management should be provided for female workers on the basis of the
results of assessing the amount of drinking and its perception by them and it should be differentiated according
to the size of workplaces, age and education.
