This study is aimed at examining the relationship between health behaviors practices and physical and psychological stresses of radiological technologists who are working at general hospitals across the country. For this purpose, a survey was conducted to 890 subjects by means of questionnaires from the middle of July to the end of August 2003, which resulted in the following outcomes: 1. From the technical and statistical analysis into the physical and psychological states, the item "I feel miserable and dejected" scored the highest points of (3.91), implying that most subjects got heavily stressed, while the item "Life is worth living" recorded (2.59), representing that only a few of them got less stressed. 2. With regard to an analysis of variance depending on their regular exercise, a significant difference appeared in 7 items(P1, P2, P5, P6, P12, P17, and P18)(P＜0.05). 3. Out of analysis into such variance as smoking, significant results were found in the items "I become uncomfortable or disturbed at night" and "I can solve my own problems"(P＜0.05), while no significant difference was confirmed in other items regardless smoking. 4. From the T-test conducted to the independent sample depending on the drive under the influence, a significant difference was shown only in the item "I feel very exhausted, even eating is a labo"( P＜0.05). 5. The T-test with the independent sample of drinking coffee, the item "I am satisfied with the method and the procedure of things I do" turned out to be significant(P＜0.05) while no particular difference was confirmed in other items. In conclusion, it was revealed from the study that the physical and psychological states and health-related practices of radiological technologists seemed to be more affected by regular exercise than by smoking or drinking wine or coffee, a result confirming that the health-related acts are closely associated with the socio-psychological stresses. It is, therefore, strongly suggested that the practice of health-related acts to properly control stress will contribute to promoting health and preventing disease of radiological technologists.
