AB - Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the effect between job stress in jobholders and xerostomia.
Methods : 250 jobholders living in Jecheon city were the subjects of this questionnaire. The questionnaire was made up of three contents and 37 items: general characteristic(13), job stress(14), degree & behavior of xerostomia(10). The data were analyzed by two-sample t-test, one-way ANOVA to examine the subjects general characteristics,job stress and degree of xerostomia and were analyzed by Chi-square test to examine the subjects general characteristics, job stress and behavior of xerostomia.
Results : Only 215 jobholders were evaluated due to inadequate responses. The results were as follow.
1. As general characteristic of jobholder, male(83.7%) were more than women(16.3%), 30~39 year-old(47%) in age variable, university graduation(63.7%) in the last educational background variable, 2~3 million won(31.2%) in the month average income variable, 1~5 year(33.5%) in tour of duty variable, non-smoker(47.9%) in smoking variable were most. Married(58.6%) were more than unmarried(39.5%). Alcoholic(69.8%) were more than nonalcoholic(30.2%).
2. As classification of job stress, high strain group was 28.4%, active group was 26%, low strain group was 24.2%,passive group was 21.4%.
3. Analysis of effect between general characteristic and degree & behavior of xerostomia showed smoker were statistical significantly higher than non-smoker on‘ dry eat’,‘ Am-sal’,‘ Night awake’,‘ Slip-liq’and‘ Gumcandy’(p<0.05) and showed alcoholic were statistical significantly higher than non-alcoholic on ‘Dry PM’,‘Night awake’,‘ H2O-bed’(p<0.05).
4. Analysis of effect between job stress and degree & behavior of xerostomia showed hight strain group were statistical significantly higher than low strain group on ‘Dry PM’, ‘Dry-day’, ‘Am-sal’, ‘Eff-life’and ‘Night awake’(p<0.05).
Conclusions : As high strain group were higher than other groups on degree & behavior of xerostomia, stress would be factor that have an effect on xerostomia. Thus consider and management of stress is necessary for diagnosis and treatment of xerostomia.
