Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of occupational stress, sleep quality, fatigue, and health-related quality, and to identify factors associated with their health-related quality of life.
Methods: This study was a cross-sectional and descriptive correlation study, and the participants were recruited by rank and working area through double-allocation sampling methods. The data were collected from March 31 to May 12, 2022. Among 154 collected data, complete data from 149 participants were used for analysis. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test and one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis.
Results: Naval service members’ occupational stress, sleep quality, fatigue, and health-related quality of life were significantly different in relation to their work patterns, the current working areas, and level of occupational noises. In regression analysis, factors associated with physical component summary (PCS) health-related quality of life were work patterns (t=-2.40, p=.018), occupational stress (t=-2.80, p=.006) and sleep quality (t= -3.54, p=.001). The significant factors related to mental component summary (PCS) health-related quality of life were occupational stress (t=-2.39, p=.018) and fatigue (t= -3.25, p=.001).
Conclusion: This study emphasizes the need for active management of occupational stress, sleep quality, and fatigue as major factors associated with health-related quality of life, while considering naval service members’ work patterns, working area, and exposure to noise. Furthermore, establishing policies for differentiated health management in consideration of the work characteristics of naval service members should be made at the national level. Therefore, this study is meaningful in that it provided basic data for preparing health management plan according to the work characteristics of the naval service members.
