This study aimed to identify work-related risk factors, including long working hours and night/shift work, for unmet health care need using data of a representative panel of Korean adults.
Associations between work-related factors and unmet health care need were analyzed using data of 3,440 participants (10,320 observations) from the 2011-2013 Korean Health Panel Study. A generalized estimating equation was used for the analysis of repeated measures.
The prevalence of unmet health care was 16.6%. After adjusting sex, age, socioeconomic status, work characteristics, and working more than 60 hours per week (odds ratio [OR]: 1.43, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.23-1.65) or 50-59 hours per week (OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.08-1.46) instead of 40-49 hours per week and night/shift work (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.06-1.51) were associated with unmet health care need.
Long working hours and night/shift work are risk factors for unmet health care need among the Korean working population.
本研究旨在利用韩国成年人代表性样本的数据,确定与工作相关的风险因素,包括长时间工作以及夜间/轮班工作,这些因素与未满足的医疗需求有关。
使用2011 - 2013年韩国健康面板研究中3440名参与者(10320次观察)的数据,分析与工作相关因素和未满足的医疗需求之间的关联。采用广义估计方程对重复测量进行分析。
未满足的医疗需求患病率为16.6%。在调整性别、年龄、社会经济地位、工作特征后,每周工作超过60小时(比值比[OR]:1.43,95%置信区间[CI]:1.23 - 1.65)或每周工作50 - 59小时(OR:1.26,95% CI:1.08 - 1.46)而非40 - 49小时,以及夜间/轮班工作(OR:1.27,95% CI:1.06 - 1.51)与未满足的医疗需求相关。
长时间工作和夜间/轮班工作是韩国劳动人口中未满足医疗需求的风险因素。
