Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate Korean blue-collar workers’ Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and influencing factors in Korean blue-collar workers.
Methods: Participants in this study were 109 Korean blue-collar workers. The survey included health-related, work-related, and psycho-social factors. SF-36 was used to measure HRQoL. The data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis.
Results: In the hierarchical linear regression model, when subjects’ psycho-social variables were included in the regression model, R2 change was statistically significant. The significant predictors for HRQoL were education level (β=.26, p=.023), depression (β=-.38, p<.001), and self-efficacy (β=.23, p<.001).
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that health care providers must have priority to consider psycho-social variables, especially depression and self-efficacy to improve HRQoL in Korean blue-collar workers.
