Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors affecting the job retention of injured workers. Methods: From November 2014 to August 2016, 92 injured workers attending a return-to-work program at C hospital in Gyeongsangnam-do were recruited. We investigated the socio-demographic factors and the factors related to industrial accidents, companies, and the return-to-work program affecting their job retention. Results: There was a correlation between job retention and age, which is a socio-demographic factor. The period of medical service after an industrial accident, pain severity, and the factors of an industrial accident showed a significant effectiveness with regard to job retention. Moreover, employment status and work intensity, which are factors related to a company, showed an influence on job retention. In particular, the initial result of the work capacity and start time on work hardening were associated with job retention. However, there was no relation between duration of work hardening and job retention. Conclusion: This study suggests that a younger age, shorter sick leave, lower amount of pain, lower work intensity, better initial result of work capacity, earlier start on a return-to-work program, and a regular position have advantage in injured worker returning to work.

목적:본 연구는 직업복귀프로그램에 참여한 산업재해근로자를 대상으로 원직무복귀에 미치는 요인을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법:2014년 11월부터 2016년 8월까지 경상남도 소재의 C병원에서 직업복귀프로그램에 참여한 산업재해근로자 92명을 대상으로 인구사회학적 요인, 산업재해관련 요인, 직업관련 요인, 직업복귀프로그램 요인들이 원직무복귀에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 결과:산업재해근로자의 원직무복귀에 미치는 요인을 분석한 결과 인구사회학적 요인에서는 나이, 산업재해관련 요인에서는 산업재해요양기간, 통증, 직업관련 요인에서는 고용형태, 작업강도, 직업복귀프로그램 관련 요인에서는 작업능력평가 결과, 작업능력강화프로그램 시작시기가 상관관계가 있었으나 적용기간은 상관관계가 없었다. 결론:본 연구는 산업재해근로자들이 나이가 적고, 산업재해요양기간이 짧고, 통증이 적을수록, 고용형태가 정규직이거나 작업강도가 낮을수록, 작업능력평가결과가 좋거나 직업복귀프로그램 시작시기가 빠를수록 원직무복귀를 높일 수 있음을 지지하였다.
