The purpose of this study was to identify nutrition quotient for elderly (NQ-E) and to investigate factors affecting NQ-E of the elderly using welfare center and senior citizen’s center in Changwon city. A self-administered questionnaire was conducted between June 2021 and early August 2021 for 320 elderly (≥65 years, male, n=52, female, n=268). As a result of the survey, the mean NQ-E score was 61.12, which was within the medium-high grade. The scores of balance, moderation, and dietary behavior factors were within the medium-high grade, while diversity factor was within the medium-low grade. According to the results of the Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis, NQ-E showed positive correlations with the ‘with family’ (p<0.01), ‘education level’ (p<0.01), ‘health functional foods consumption’ (p<0.01), ‘monthly household income’ (p<0.05), ‘nutrition education experience’ (p<0.05), ‘reading nutrition labeling of health functional foods’ (p<0.01), ‘perception of the efficacy of health functional foods’ (p<0.01), and ‘the number of times of leisure activities per week’ (p<0.01) and negative correlations with the ‘gender’ (p<0.05), ‘age’ (p<0.01), ‘smoking’ (p<0.05), and ‘social frailty’ (p<0.01). As a result of multiple regression analysis, ‘gender’ (p<0.05), ‘perception of the efficacy of health functional foods’ (p<0.05), ‘the number of times of leisure activities per week’ (p<0.05), and ‘social frailty’ (p<0.05) were found to be factors affecting NQ-E. Based on the results of this study, customized services by characteristic, nutrition education, and counseling for the elderly should be implemented and the development of various programs and continuous support of the community are necessary so that the elderly can carry out social exchange.

This study was conducted with 375 workers in Changwon to examine the effects of working patterns on dietary habits and health. A self-administered questionnaire was conducted July 22 October 30, 2019. According to the results of the dietary habits and health related factors analysis, non-shift administrative workers showed significantly higher rates of green tea intake (p<0.05), and shift production workers showed significantly higher smoking rates (p<0.001) and waist circumferences (p<0.01). According to the results of the Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis, work hours showed negative correlations with job satisfaction (r=0.22, p<0.01) and positive correlations with perceived stress level (r=0.14, p<0.01). Temporary workers showed negative correlations with feel job satisfaction(r=0.14, p<0.01), perceived stress level (r=0.12, p<0.05), and concern about health (r=0.13, p<0.05). Diabetes showed positive correlations with hypertension (r=0.20, p<0.01), low HDL cholesterolemia (r=0.22, p<0.01), abdominal obesity (r=0.13, p<0.05), and hypertriglyceridemia(r=0.22, p<0.01). Based on these results, this researcher proposes that continuous attention and support of industries and communities are necessary for nutritional education and counseling relative to improving workers’ dietary lives as well as disease prevention and control.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dietary habits of smokers and non-smokers among a few male university students residing in Changwon-si and factors that affect their smoking behavior. A self-administered questionnaire was conducted for a duration of one month in June 2015 (n=367). The results of this study showed that the breakfast skipping rate of the smoking group was significantly higher compared to the non-smoking group (p<0.001), and the smoking rate was significantly higher among those with more serious smoking problems (p<0.001). Compared to the non-smoking group, the smoking group showed significantly higher BMI (body mass index) (p<0.05) and demonstrated significant drinking habit of more liquid type yogurt among milk and dairy products and significantly more coffee mixes among fat, oils, and sugars (p<0.05). The results of multiple regression analysis showed the necessity to prepare smoking systems in school (t=－2.87, p<0.05), encumbrances to studies due to smoking (t=－3.59, p<0.001), and variables that affect smoking such as the number of close friends who smoke (t=4.17, p<0.001), BMI (t=3.08, p<0.05), and the level of problematic drinking (t=3.67, p<0.001). The results of this study suggest factors that must be considered in establishing smoking prevention education programs, anti-smoking policies, and strategies for university students.

This study investigated the factors affecting problematic drinking amongst the male university students of the Changwon area (n=367). The participants were divided into 3 groups, and undertook the self-report questionnaire survey. Based on the AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) guidelines, problematic drinking were rated as ‘no problem’ (28.8%), ‘at-risk drinking’ (41.7%), and ‘alcohol abuse’ (29.5%). Our study revealed that students living alone, indulged in more club activities, and drank more than 3 cans of carbonated drinks a day; this was significantly high on the AUDIT score (p<0.05). Participation in education was significantly higher (p<0.05), but intention to reduce the monthly alcohol consumption was significantly lower (p<0.001) in the alcohol abuse group. Recognition level of drinking cultures, drinking habits, AUDIT, and nicotine dependence were significantly higher in the alcohol abuse group (p<0.001). Recognition level of drinking cultures and nicotine dependence by the FTND (Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence) positively correlated with problematic drinking, whereas dietary guidelines and self-esteem showed a negative correlation with problematic drinking (p<0.05). Based on the results of multiple linear regression analysis, the factors affecting problematic drinking were recognition level of drinking cultures (β=0.47, p<0.001) and nicotine dependence (β=0.23, p<0.001). We conclude that implementation of health education for university students, would aid in rectifying the incorrect perception of drinking. Furthermore, both drinking and smoking should be considered simultaneously.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a nutrition education program for the elderly at a public health center located in Jinhae city. The one group pretest and posttest design was conducted using self-administered questionnaire survey. Nutrition education lessons based on social cognitive theory (2 hours/lesson, 3 times) were provided to 27 female elderly(≥65 yrs) for a month. After the nutrition education, number of exercise increased and preference for sweetness decreased significantly (p<0.05). The outcome expectations, the knowledge of nutrition (p<0.001), and behavioral capability (p<0.05) score were significantly increased. There were significant increases in all nutrient intake. NAR was increased significantly in protein, calcium and vitamin C (p<0.01), dietary fiber, iron, zinc, thiamin, niacin and folic acid (p<0.001), and riboflavin (p<0.05). INQ was increased significantly in thiamin, vitamin B6 and niacin (p<0.05), and dietary fiber (p<0.01). The score of nutrition education satisfaction was high (4.52). The results of this study suggested that the nutritional education program based on social cognitive theory had a positive effect on dietary behavior changes, and nutrition intake status among female elderly even after short-term intervention.

This study was conducted using a self boarding questionnaire survey to investigate body image perception, dietary habits and nutrient intakes according to interest level in health of female university students in Masan area (n=302). The subjects were divided into 2 groups according to interest level in health (‘High’ group, n=101, ‘Low’ group, n=201). Body image according to BMI was significantly different regardless of interest level in health (p<0.001). The answer percentage indicated that the purpose of weight control is health, regular use of the scale, and regular exercise were significantly higher in the high group (p<0.05). Nutrient knowledge score (p<0.01) and food frequency score (p<0.001) were significantly higher in the high group (p<0.01). There were no significant differences in nutrient intake, but intake, NAR and INQ of vitamin C were significantly higher in the high group (p<0.001). Nutrition knowledge score (p<0.01), food intake frequency score (p<0.01), and INQ and NAR of vitamin C (p<0.01) were positively correlated with the interest level in health. These results will be useful as a basis for the development of effective nutrition education programs in order to increase interest level in health and apply well in real life what have learned through the correct nutrition knowledge.

본 연구에서는 중등교사의 성인 불안정 애착, 대인관계 스트레스, 사회적 지지, 심리적 소진의 관계를 알아보고, 성인 불안정 애착과 심리적 소진 간의 관계에서 대인관계 스트레스의 매개효과와 사회적 지지의 조절효과를 검증하였다. 이를 위해 경기도 내 중학교에 근무하는 8개교의 교사 279명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중등교사의 성인 불안정 애착, 심리적 소진, 대인관계 스트레스, 사회적 지지와의 상관분석을 실시한 결과, 이들 변인 간에는 유의한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 성인 불안정 애착이 강할수록 심리적 소진이 많이 되는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 대인관계 스트레스가 성인 불안정 애착과 소진의 관계를 부분적으로 매개 하는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 사회적 지지가 성인 불안정 애착과 심리적 소진의 관계를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 성인 불안정 애착과 사회적 지지가 상호작용을 하여 심리적 소진에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구의 목적은 중등 교사가 갖추어야 할 인성요소에 대해 전문가의 인식과 예비교사의 인식이 서로 다른가를 밝히는 데 있다. 또한 교원양성기관 재학기간, 교육실습, 교육봉사 및 진로 요인에 따라 예비교사가 중요하다고 인식하는 교직인성이 전문가의 인식과 다른가를 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 예비교사 252명을 대상으로 전문가 22인과 비교 분석을 하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 성실성, 책임감, 교사효능감, 교육적 신념, 소명의식 영역에서 예비교사와 전문가의 중요도 인식에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 둘째, 예비교사의 학년에 따라, 교육실습 이수 여부에 따라, 교육봉사 이수 여부에 따라, 그리고 교직 장래희망에 따라 예비교사와 전문가의 교직인성 인식에는 유의한 차이가 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 예비교사들의 교직 인성 함양을 위한 시사점을 논의하였다.

본 연구는 교사의 지연행동과 교사의 지연행동에 영향을 미치는 내외적 요인들을 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서 교사의 내적 변인은 성별, 학력, 교직경력 그리고 교사의 자기효능감이었으며, 외적 변인은 주당 교과 담당시수, 담임, 부장 담당 여부였다. 연구대상은 수도권에 위치한 6개 중학교와 2개 고등학교에 재직 중인 교사 총 137명이었다. 수집된 자료를 분석한 결과, 우리나라 교사들 중 만성적으로 지연행동을 하는 교사의 비율은 외국 성인들의 비율과 비슷하였다. 교사의 지연행동에 영향을 미치는 내적 요인들은 교사의 성별과 자기효능감이었다. 반면, 교과 담당시수와 교사의 지연행동의 상관관계는 유의하였으나, 그 정도는 미약하였다. 회귀분석결과, 자기조절 효능감이 교사의 지연행동을 줄이는데 가장 영향력이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 교사의 지연행동을 줄이기 위해서는 교사의 자기효능감을 높이는 것이 중요하다고 말할 수 있다.

본 연구는 예비여교사들을 대상으로 개념도와 성찰일지 학습전략의 성과를 비교 분석하였다. 특히 학습양식에 따라 학습전략의 효과가 달라지는지를 검증함으로써 예비교사들이 자신에게 적합한 학습전략을 선택하고 미래의 학생들에게 전수할 수 있도록 하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 이를 위하여 175명의 예비여교사들을 개념도 전략 집단, 성찰일지 전략 집단, 그리고 통제집단으로 나누고, 이들을 다시 Kolb의 학습양식에 따라 분류한 후 시험을 통해 학습 성과를 측정하였다. 공분산분석 결과, 전체를 대상으로 하였을 경우 개념도는 학습 성과를 높이는데 효과적이었으나, 성찰일지의 효과는 유의하지 않았다. 학습양식별 학습전략의 효과를 분석한 결과, 수렴자의 학습양식을 가진 예비교사들에게 개념도와 성찰일지 전략 모두 학습 성과에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 분산자의 학습양식을 가진 예비교사들에게 개념도 전략은 학습 성과에 효과적이나, 성찰일지 전략은 비효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
