A study on stresses in nurses Report I - Job stressors relevant to job satisfaction and mood states

新潟県内の看護婦571名を対象にNIOSH職業性ストレス調査票を用いてストレスに関する調査を行った.本研究では,ストレッサ-と職務満足感,抑うつ-落ち込み(D)および活気(Ⅴ)との関連を検討した.1. positive項目の経験の有無はⅤ得点と関連がみられ, negative項目の経験の有無はD得点と関連がみられた.2. POMSを用いた気分を測定した結果,対象となった看護婦のDは一般集団のそれよりも高い値を示し, Vは逆に低い値であった.3.職務満足感は労働負荷の変動,技能の低活用,仕事のコントロール, positive項目数と有意な相関関係があった.4. Dは,労働負荷の変動,技能の低活用, negative項目数, neutral項目数,合計項目数との間に有意な正の相関があった.5. Vは,仕事のコントロール,人々への責任, positive項目数, negative項目数,合計項目数と有意な正の相関があり,技能の低活用と負の相関があった.Using 571 nurses working in Niigata Prefecture an investigation related to their stresses experienced in their work was performed.In this report stressors relevant to job satisfhction, depression-dejection(D) and vigor(V) were studied, using inventories for stressors in the work of the NIOSH and that for 51 stressors on nursing individually prepared. The scale of NIOSH was used for measurement of job satisfhction and that of Profile of Mood States for D and V 1.Presence of the experienced positive items was related to V scores and that of the negative items to D scores in the stressor inventories. 2.The D score of the subject nurse group was higher than that of the general group, While the V score was lower, on the contrary. 3.Job satisfhction was significantly correlated to variance in workload, skill underutilization, job control, and numbers of the positiveitem. 4.D was significantly correlated positively to variance in workload, skill underutilization, and numbers of the negative item, neutral item and total item. 5.V was significantly correlated positively to job control,responsibility for people, and numbers of the positiveitem, negativeitem and total items, While it was correlated negatively to skill underutilization.departmental bulletin pape

ASCA observation of Unusually X-ray Hard Radio Quiet QSO Kaz 102

We have observed a radio-quiet QSO Kaz 102 (z=0.136) with ASCA as a part of our program of complete spectral characterization of hard X-ray selected AGNs. We found that Kaz 102 shows unusual spectral properties. A simple power-law with absorption in our galaxy gave a satisfactory description of the spectrum. However, it showed a very hard photon index of Gamma=1.0 with no sign of deep absorption or a prominent spectral feature. We further explored the Compton reflection with Fe K-alpha line and warm absorber models for hardening the spectrum. Both gave statistically satisfactory fits. However, the Compton reflection model requires a very low metal abundance (0.03-0.07 in solar units).The warm absorber model with no direct component is preferred and gave a very high ionization parameter xi=200. If this is the case, the values of xi, warm absorber column density, and variability over about 10 years may suggest that the warm absorber resides in the broad-line region and crosses the line of sight to the central X-ray source.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures.
