The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of the Belly Button Meditation (BBM) technique on stress response, physical symptoms, and work flow of workers in South Korea. Study participants were randomly assigned into 3 groups: an experimental group, a comparative group, and a control group, with each group comprising 25 individuals. The experimental group received training on the BBM program by watching and practising a 10-minute BBM exercise video, while the comparative group performed a national gymnastics routine according to 10-minute video. Both groups received this training 3 times a day for 4 weeks. Stress response, physical symptoms, and work flow were assessed at pre and post of the study. The pretest for demographic variables, stress response, physical symptoms, and work flow were found to be statistically homogeneous. The experimental group showed a statistically significant decrease in stress response and physical symptoms compared with the comparative and control groups at the posttest of the study. The experimental group also showed a statistically significant increase in work flow. The results of this study suggest that the BBM program may be effective in relieving the stressors and physical symptoms and improving the degree of work flow. Long-term training on the BBM program has positive psychological and physical benefits, as shown by previous studies. However, this study is significantly meaningful for decreasing stress and physical symptoms, and improving the work flow of workers through the introduction and practice of a 10-minute meditation exercise into the daily routine of busy workers.

This study examined 168 family care workers who work in the ChungnamㆍChungbuk Province about how role stress affects to depression, and verified moderating effects of family strength in this process. The results were as follows: First, it was found that role conflict of role stress was more than average level, and role overload of role stress was somewhat lower than average level. Family strength was found to be lower than average level, and depression was found to be higher than average level. Second, influential factors of depression were role overload, family strength, health status, and role conflict. Third, role overload was found to have moderating effects on the relationship between role stress and depression. Based on such empirical analysis results, this study suggested comprehensive working strategies to improve family strength and to prevent depression of family care workers.

There has been a growing interest in the health status of non-regular workers. We performed this study to examine the relationship between non-regular employment and health behaviors, mental health, and Quality of life (QOL). We analyzed 2013 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data and 1846 adults (aged 20∼60 years) were included. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the effects of employment type, work type, and work hours on health behaviors (medical exam, cancer screening, smoking, alcohol intake, exercise), mental health (stress, depressed mood), and QOL (EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D)). We observed that male non-regular workers were likely to take less medical check-up and cancer screening and to have more problems with usual activity domain of EQ-5D. Female non-regular workers also took less medical check-up, felt more stress and depression, and had significantly more problems with mobility, usual activity, and anxiety/depression domain of EQ-5D. The multivariate-adjusted Odds ratios(ORs) for not having medical check-up and cancer screening in male non-regular workers were 3.88 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.58∼5.85) and 1.77 (1.19∼2.65), respectively. Female non-regular workers have significantly higher OR for having depressive mood (1.80, 1.06∼3.05) and having problems with usual activity (5.12, 1.06∼24.8), and anxiety/depression (2.08, 1.07∼4.04) domain of EQ-5D. There was no significant differences in poor health behavior between regular and non-regular workers, but female night shift workers have significantly higher OR for current smoking (2.85, 1.51∼5.35) compared with day workers. This study showed that non-regular employment was associated with worse health behavior, mental health, and QOL.
