이 연구는 산재근로자에 대한 사례관리서비스의 효과를 살펴보고자 한 것이다. 이를 위해 사례관리 효과를 보는 지표로 산재근로자의 직업복귀 여부를 선정하고, 사례관리서비스 여부에 따라 산재근로자의 직업복귀 및 원직복귀가 달라지는지를 검증하였다. 분석자료는 2012년 1월부터 10월까지 근로복지공단의 요양종결자 11,563명을 대상으로 하였으며, 분석은 이분형 로지스틱 회귀분석을 활용하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 사례관리서비스 여부에 따라 산재근로자의 직업복귀율 및 원직복귀율은 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 직업복귀의 경우, 사례관리대상자의 직업복귀율은 44.22%, 비대상자는 36.75%였으며, 원직복귀의 경우도 사례관리대상자의 원직복귀율은 78.97%, 비대상자는 72.23%로 나타나서 사례관리서비스를 받은 산재근로자의 직업복귀율 및 원직복귀율이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 다른 설명변수들을 통제한 상태에서도 사례관리여부가 직업복귀 및 원직복귀에 영향을 주는지를 살펴본 결과, 사례관리여부는 직업복귀에는 그 영향력이 유의미하였으나, 원직복귀에는 통계적으로 유의한 결과로 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 본 연구는 산재근로자의 사례관리서비스 및 직업복귀와 관련한 논의 및 제언을 하였다.
This research purports to examine the effects of case management for injured workers: in particular, this study selects whether or not return-to-work and job retention is as an indicator that verifies the effect of case management. The data gets from Korean Workers Compensation and Welfare Service, 11,563 injured workers after medical treatment were analyzed using binary logistic regression analysis. The results are as follows: first, return-to-work rate and job retention rate of injured workers have differences according to whether or not case management services. The return-to-work rate taking case management service was 44.22%, but not taking case management service was 36.75%. Also, the job retention rate taking case management service was 78.97%, but not taking case management service was 72.23%. The rate of return-to-work and job retention of injured workers serviced in case management system have more higher than not in case management system. The second was whether or not taking case management has impact return-to-work for injured workers, but it did not have job retention in the statistics. Therefore, case management has significant effects for the return-to-work for injured workers. As a result, this research suggested possible ways to establish a case management system and return-to-work for injured workers.
