Abstract PDF: Purpose
This study aims to examine female workers' experiences of workplace violence and workplace gender discrimination, and to identify the factors influencing these experiences.
Methods
Data were obtained from 16,161 female wage workers who participated in the 7th Korean Working Conditions Survey in 2023. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine these relationships.
Results
Significant factors related to verbal violence were educational level, marital status, number of employees, years of service at the current workplace, and type of occupation. Significant factors related to humiliating behavior were educational level, number of employees, and type of occupation, while significant factors related to sexual violence were number of employees and type of occupation. Marital status and type of occupation were also found to be significant factors influencing workplace gender discrimination experiences.
Conclusion
Significant factors influencing female workers' experiences of workplace violence and gender discrimination were either shared or distinct. Notably, type of occupation emerged as a common significant factor across both experiences. Therefore, prevention and intervention strategies for workplace violence and gender discrimination should adopt a multilayered approach that considers the specific characteristics and contexts of each type.

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to identify factors associated with smoking relapse within six months after quit attempts among workers in small and medium-sized enterprises in South Korea.
Methods
The analysis was conducted for a total of 194 people who attempted to quit smoking by applying for a smoking cessation support service at the Regional Tobacco Control Center. The data used in the study were extracted from the Smoking Cessation Service Integrated Information System. Kaplan-Meier estimator and Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to identify variables associated with smoking relapse within six months’ time period.
Results
Smoking relapse rate within six months was 66.0%, and variables associated with relapse included the cases such as carbon monoxide (CO) at the time of registration (HR: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.10~4.22 for CO ≥20 ppm or more vs.CO ＜10 ppm), the average number of cigarettes smoked per day (HR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.00~1.07), and the number of counseling(HR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.54~0.67).
Conclusion
Smoking characteristics and counseling showed one of the strongest correlations with relapse within six months. This implies that it is necessary to understand the smoking characteristics and patterns of workers and to provide continuous smoking cessation counseling tailored to individual characteristics for effective smoking relapse prevention.
