During a period from January 10 to March 31, 1994, the data were collected from 87 industrial nurses, who were working as health managers in the plants, in Ulsan city and the vicinity in Kyungnam province, using a structured questionnaire.
The results were as follows
1. The general characteristics of industrial nurses ir~this study were 82.8% being 30 years old or less, 60.9%, being not married, and 93.1% having eduction levels above junior college.
2. With respect to general work conditions, 94.3% were working in a separate room provided for health care division, 40.2% working under the safety and health department, and 98.9% working as common-level staffs. And 60.0% were working less than 44 hours a week, 70.1% had work experiences less than 5 years, and 50.6% had annual incomes ranging 10 to 14 million wons.
3. As work conditions related to health care activities, 49.4% performed the activities not related to health care as always or occasionally, and 87.4% answered that occupational physicians were appointed iii theis plant and among them, however, only 6.9% worked on full?time basis and 52.8% perform little activities as occupational physicians. For a decision related to health care activity, 69.0% discussed the problems with the supervisors, and 19.5% made decisions by themselves.
4. Ac for attitude and perception to their act’vitiec as health managers, 66.7% moderately recognized the importance of health manager in the workplace, with 63.2% being satisfied their wages and treatment from the company, 57.5% being
satisfied with their job positions and 51.7% having positive attitudes as being health maruigers.

However, the performance rate was very low in preparing protective equipmentl?20.8%).
6. The levels of activities related to health care were significantly high when making decisions by themselves, when occupational physicians not being full ? time, and when satisfying their job positions, and, on the other hand, significantly
decreased as work hours increased.
7. In addition to some kinds of periodic education asked by all of the nurses, 89,70o wanted a~peciulized licensing system for industrial nurse, and 97.4% wanted to apply for the license test.
