The purpose of this study is to analyze the changes in turnover intention according to the level of Burn out and the mediating effect in fire officer. Higher levels of emotional labor and turnover intention resulted in higher levels of burn out(p<0.05). We used the logistic regression analysis to compare change of turnover intention according to the level of burn out. In logistic regression analysis, largest mediating factor were working days per week, the number of moving case per a day, physical condition, emotional labor and the odds(Likely to with high turnover intention) was down by 38.9% after adjustment for mediating factors. The results of this study indicate that emotional labor was negatively impact on burn out in fire officer. To reduce the burn out and the turnover intention, it is necessary to do more efforts to improve work environment (working days per week, the number of moving case per a day and emotional labor) and management personal factor(physical condition) for the fire office should be made to reduce such negative effects.

Purpose: This study was done to identify the experience of stress and burn-out in caregivers of patients with senile dementia. Method: To evaluate the degree of stress and burn-out in caregivers of patients with senile dementia, 64 caregivers and matched to 64 patients with senile dementia at a Primary Health Care Post in South Kyung Sung Province were selected. The study was carried out from March 6 to March 30, 2001. Data on the degree of dementia in the patients was measured by the MMSE-K (Mini-Mental State Examination-Korea) and caregiver characteristics such as, sex, age, marital status, educational level, job, socioeconomic status, religion, number in family, relationship with patient, duration of care, and chronic disease in caregiver were collected by direct interview with a questionnaire. Results: Of 64 patients with senile dementia, 15.6% were classified as mild dementia (MMSE score 20-24) and 84.4%, as severe dementia. There were no significant characteristics of caregivers associated with the degree of stress and burn-out experience. The degree of burn-out in these caregivers of patients with severe dementia (mean value 94.3) was significantly higher than the 81.4 for those caring for patients with mild dementia (p<0.05). However, the degree of stress was not significantly related with the degree of dementia. The proportion experiencing severe burn-out (above score 4) was 54.7% in the physical domain, 90.6% in the emotional domain, and 73.4% in psychiatric domain, respectively. Conclusion: The above findings suggest that the degree of stress and burn-out experienced by caregivers of patients with senile dementia are high.

This study conducted a research on burn-out printing convergence technology for cellulose blend knit fabrics. Printing technology, which forms color pattern on the fabric, can be generally classified into four according to printer or printing method, e.g. screen printing, roller printing, rotary printing, digital printing. However, these printing methods are flat in design or pattern, which have limitation to overcome monotonousness of fabric, so that recently burn-out process method, which expresses three-dimensional pattern effect by treating chemical on the surface of fabric as the method to appeal its esthetics to the customers. Particularly, in case of cellulose/polyester composite material, first, it is proceeded in 2 processes, by dyeing cellulose or polyester fabric and burning out cellulose fabric, in this process, due to pollution caused by disperse dye migration, color of polyester fabric part could be discolored, which has high falt risk. This research considered coloring burn-out technique, which simultaneously proceed dyeing and burn-out by reducing dyeing and burn-out process to 1 stage, which were proceeded in 2 stages previously. As the research result, it was confirmed that reasonable depth of roller was 0.04~0.06mm in roller printing process, heat treatment condition of burn-out far-infrared radiation was $185^{\circ}C{\times}30m/min$. Color fastness to washing was confirmed to be 4-5 grade, color fastness to rubbing, 3-4 grade, color fastness to light, 4 grade. Also, it was confirmed that energy reduction effect appeared 38.19%, in case of energy cost per yard compared to the existing production, also, 19.74%, in case of production cost.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to identify the degree of occupational therapist's professional ethics and to examine the correlation between professional ethics, job stress, and burnout. It also investigates the effects of the occupational therapist's professional ethics on job stress, and burn out, so that we can find a way to reduce them in occupational therapists. Methods : We conducted surveys from June 1 to July 5, 2022. The general characteristics were examined using a frequency analysis. Professional ethics, job stress, and burn out were examined using descriptive statistics. The correlation among them was analyzed with the Pearson correlation coefficient. To find out what factors affect job stress and burn out, we also conducted a multiple regression analysis. Results : First, professional ethics was averaged at 3.57±.34. Second, a significant negative correlation in professional ethics was found between job stress and burn out (p<.01). As a result of the correlation between occupational ethics sub-factors and job stress and burnout, factors excluding nonleisure and self-reliance showed a statistically significant correlation (p<.01, p<.05). Third, professional ethics sub-factor was affected job stress and burn out (p<.01, p<.05). The sub-factors affecting job stress were hard work (𝛽=.-461, p<.01), delay of gratification (𝛽=.-267, p<.01), and relation with coworker (𝛽=.-245, p<.01) and morality (𝛽=.-165, p<.05); and those influencing burnout were delay of gratification (𝛽=-.240, p<.01), relation with coworker (𝛽=-.223, p<.01), centrality of work (𝛽=-.189, p<.01) and hard work (𝛽=-.184, p<.05). Conclusion : The results of this study confirmed the importance of professional ethics affecting job stress and burn out. Through follow-up research, it will be necessary to develop and apply programs to improve professional ethic of occupational therapists in the future.
