The objective of this study is to broaden our understanding of psychiatric disorders due to work-related burn injury compensated by the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance operated by the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service (KCOMWEL).
Using the KCOMWEL electronic database, we collected data on psychiatric disorders due to work-related burn injury based on workers' compensation records from 2005 to 2014 and analyzed the characteristics of the claims.
The average number of claims per year for post-traumatic stress disorder was 67 and the approval rate from 2005 to 2014 was 53.6%. Regarding occupation, 63 workers were elementary workers involved in the performance of simple and routine tasks which may require the use of hand-held tools and considerable physical effort and 59 were electrical and electronic equipment fitters and repairers. Acute stress disorder, nonorganic insomnia, and sexual dysfunction were the most commonly approved psychiatric disorders associated with work-related burn injury, followed by mixed anxiety-depressive disorder.
We analyzed the characteristics of the psychiatric disorders due to work-related burn injury for which compensation was received from 2005 to 2014 according to the approved results. To gain a long-term understanding of the management of workers' compensation status for psychiatric disorders due to work-related burn injuries, we should gather accurate information on the risk factors involved in order to achieve the needed systematic improvements.
本研究旨在增进我们对因工作相关烧伤事故而获得韩国产业灾害补偿保险（Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service，KCOMWEL）补偿的精神障碍的理解。
我们利用 KCOMWEL 电子数据库，收集了 2005 年至 2014 年基于工人赔偿记录的与工作相关烧伤所致精神障碍的数据，并分析了这些索赔的特征。
创伤后应激障碍的年平均索赔数为 67 件，2005 年至 2014 年的批准率为 53.6%。就职业而言，有 63 名工人是从事简单常规任务的初级工人，这些任务可能需要使用手持工具和大量体力，还有 59 名是电器和电子设备安装工和维修工。急性应激障碍、非器质性失眠和性功能障碍是与工作相关烧伤相关的最常批准的精神障碍，其次是混合性焦虑抑郁障碍。
我们根据批准结果分析了 2005 年至 2014 年因工作相关烧伤获得赔偿的精神障碍的特征。为了长期了解与工作相关烧伤所致精神障碍工人赔偿状况的管理，我们应该收集涉及的风险因素的准确信息，以便实现必要的系统改进。
