This study was designed to investigate dietary life related to sodium of participants in hypertension and diabetes preventive education at the public health center located in Incheon Metropolitan City. Subjects were comprised of 301 adults (males: 102, female: 199) of age 50 years and above. The questionnaire for dietary life and salty taste assessment were performed on the subjects. Data were analyzed using SPSS package (ver. 18.0). According to the result of questionnaire for dietary behavior, 70% of the subjects were in the low salt intake group (p<0.001). In the result of questionnaire for dietary frequency, all ages groups were in the low salt intake group (p<0.01). The data of questionnaire for dietary behavior showed that the subjects of age above 75 years preferred salted seafood, soup, and kimchi (p<0.01). The data of questionnaire for dietary frequency showed that the subjects of age between 65 and 74, least chose fried kimchi, noodle, and soybean paste soup with clams (p<0.05), and the healthy adult groups chose kimchi stew, ssam and ssamjang (p<0.05). The score for dietary behavior in male subjects was higher than female subjects (p<0.01). In particular, the score for dietary frequency was the lowest in the subjects of age between 65 and 74 (p<0.01). The mean value of salty taste assessment in the subjects was 0.41% which is higher than the ideal value of 0.3% (p<0.01). Offering more nutrition education and continuous feedback of healthcare center may be needed to improve the health status of the adults.

Notwithstanding the existence of The Act on the Establishment of Safe Laboratory Environment to prevent accidents in laboratory, it has not been secured substantive level of safety. Moreover, it is hard to apply to the scope of responsibility when the accident occurs in laboratory with The Occupational Safety and Health(OSH) Act. Thus, it is necessary to review and compare the OSH Act and The Act on the Establishment of Safe Laboratory Environment to reinforce the safety in laboratory.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship the quality of life, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis in the Republic of Korea. This study was utilized raw data from the 2010 KCHS. In total, 229,229 individuals participated in the 2010 survey. The final analysis was identified 22,545 individuals who had been diagnosed by a doctor with arthritis or osteoporosis. To identify the relationship between the quality of life - related after treated or treating of arthritis, osteoporosis, A multiple linear regression analysis was performed. Treating group for osteoarthritis of their quality of life has statistically been less than after treated group(B=-.068, p<.001). Treating group for osteoporosis of their quality of life has statistically been less than after treated group(B=-.083, p<.001). Non-treatment group who was diagnosed by doctor, but no treated subject for osteoarthritis of their quality of life has statistically been less than after treated group(B=-.075, p<.001). Non-treatment group that was diagnosed by doctor, but no treated subject for osteoporosis of their quality of life has statistically been less than after treated group(B=-.045, p<.001). Non-treatment group who was diagnosed by doctor, but no treated subject for osteoporosis and arthritis of their quality of life has statistically been less than after treated group(B=-.0121, p<.001). as a result of those data, we understand that the decision maker for treatment has been chosen by quality of life, including pain, mobility activity and so on.

Last five years, Occupational injury rate is declining but still a standstill as 2%, if the rate of deaths all people from 2% to 1% in 2013, but decreased as, occupational safety and health in terms industrial accidents yet has a very weak structure in very small Manufacturing workplace. The purpose of this study was to survey a 1:1 directly person interviews with a structured questionnaire intended for 150 a very small manufacturing workplace. In the results, working with non-regular(informal) workers is one in 10 persons 11.7% and female workers is about three people on 10 persons with 31.0%, and that 75% of non-regular workers who are mainly engaged in the production line appeared. And the work-related injury and accident experience was 4.0% and the occupational injury rate was 1.24%, especially occupational injury rate of older workers was 3.65%, a female workers 1.72%. Workplace risk assessment carried out in response that it was very low as 9.3% of the total. In the technology and funding programs that are supported by the government, was highest with 62.7% of the clean support program awareness, awareness of the rest of the programs is about 10-14% lower. And the satisfaction of supporting a clean support program were the highest 81.3%.

The purpose of this study was to compare weight control behaviour, eating habits, and health-related life habits accordingto degree of obesity among normal, overweight, and obese groups. Self-perception of weight and desire for weight controlin males (p<0.001) and females (p<0.001) varied among the three groups. Reasons (p<0.001), experience (p<0.01), andmethod of weight control (p<0.05) were different among the three female groups, whereas males did not show anydifferences. Intake of nutritional supplements in the male obese group was higher compared to other groups (p<0.01),whereas eating habits were not significantly different among the three groups for both males and females. Food habits scorefor intake of fruits, milk, and yogurt were higher in females than males (p<0.001). Correlation coefficients of food habitsscore and anthropometric measurements showed that hip circumference was negative for intake of fruits in males, whereasRBW and BMI were positive for food combination, intake of bean products, and fishes in females (p<0.05). Frequency andfitting exercise in the obese female group were lower than in the other groups (p<0.01). Therefore, proper nutritionaleducation for obese individuals is recommended proper self-perception of weight, good food habits, and regular exercise.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the health status and food habits of male college students in Seoul according to drinking habits. In order to identify risk factors, health surveys were conducted from October 2013 to December 2013. Average height, weight, and BMI of subjects were 175.47±5.27 cm, 67.93±9.28 kg, and 22.04±2.67 kg/m2, respectively. Weight and BMI were higher in the non-drinking groups compared to the drinking groups (p<0.05). Frequency of drinking was 2~3 times per month, and 52.4% of subjects started drinking when starting university. The motivation to start drinking was cited as “From necessity”. Reason for drinking was “Social relations”. The favorite kind of drink was beer. Rate of taking supplements was 24.4% of the subjects. Vitamin preparations were highest in drinking groups and non-drinking groups (p<0.05). The reasons for skipping meal were “too busy” in the drinking groups, and “oversleep” in the non-drinking groups (p<0.05). The preference for snacking in drinking groups were milk, milk products, and fast food, with the highest being listed first. The non-drinking groups preferred carbonated drinks and ice cream.

본 연구의 목적은 사회복지적 원조방안의 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 여자대학생 115명의 건강증진행위에 대한 자기애적 성격성향과 다이어트 행위의 관계를 규명하는데 있다. 건강증진행위에 관련된 요인들이 다양하지만 본 연구에서는 자기애적 성격성향과 다이어트 행위요인이 어떻게 관련되어 있는지를 밝히고자 하였다. 조사 대상자들은 임의 표집하여 건강증진 생활양식 척도, 자기애적 성격검사 척도, 다차원적 섭식태도 검사 척도를 사용한 자기보고질문지로 응답하였다. 조사 자료의 분석은 SPSS 15.0을 이용하여 기술통계분석, t-검정, 분산분석, 상관관계분석, 단계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 조사 대상자들의 건강증진행위의 평균점수는 129.51점으로 높게 나타났다. 세부 영역으로 실천 정도가 가장 높은 영역은 스트레스 관리이며, 가장 낮은 영역은 자아실현으로 나타났다. 둘째, 건강증진행위와 자기애적 성격성향, 다이어트 행위간에는 유의한 관계가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 셋째, 자기애적 성격성향과 다이어트 행위는 여자대학생의 건강증진행위 예측 요인으로 나타났다. 그러므로 자기애적 성격성향과 다이어트행위의 고려를 반영하는 복지서비스 투입이 사회복지 실천에 있어서 여자 대학생을 위한 효과적인 개입으로 제안되었다.

본 연구는 노인의 사회적 자본이 건강증진행위에 영향을 미치는지를 파악하기 위하 여 2011년 전국노인생활실태조사 자료를 사용하여 65세 이상 노인 11,542명을 대상으로 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 기존의 연구들에서 건강증진행위에 음주량, 흡연량, 운동량 을 도출하였고 요인분석을 통하여 건강증진행위 변수로 설정하였다. 노인의 사회적 자본은 자녀, 친인척, 친구의 수, 연락 및 접촉 빈도 등의 네트워크 변수와 다양한 단체활동 참여 여부를 사회참여 변수로 설정하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 건강증진실천행위에 영향 을 미치는 요인은 성별, 교육수준, 가깝게 지내는 친구 수, 가깝게 지내는 친인척 수, 비 동거 자녀 전체와의 연락빈도, 평생교육 참여여부, 자원봉사 경험, 동호회 단체활동 참여 여부인 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 주변과의 접촉빈도 보다는 연락빈도가 더 유의미한 영향력을 갖는 것으로 나타났고, 자녀 혹은 친인척 수보다 친구 수가 건강증진행위에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 바탕으로 노인의 사회적 자본량을 확장시키고자 하는 노력이 노인의 건강을 유지하기 위한 실천행위에 영향을 준다는 것을 발견한 것이 본 연구의 함의라고 하겠다.

◉ 목적 : 국내에 운영되고 있는 정신건강의학과 병원학교의 현황을 파악하고 정신건강의학과 병원학교를 다니는 건강장애학생의 학업 참여와 주관적 만족도 조사를 통해 정신건강의학과 병원학교에 대한 작업치료사의 인식을 높이고, 이들을 위해 작업치료사가 제공할 수 있는 서비스에 대해 생각해보고자 한다. ◉ 연구방법 : 국내 6개의 병원학교 중 연구에 동의한 2개의 정신건강의학과 병원학교의 교사 2명과 입교중인 정신건강장애학생 29명을 대상으로 2014년 4월 28일부터 동년 7월 10일까지 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구대상자의 일반적인 특성 및 병원학교 현황을 빈도 분석하였고, 정신건강의학과 병원학교 학생의 수업참여와 병원학교 이용 만족도를 비교분석하였다. ◉ 결과 : 연구결과 정신건강의학과 병원학교 학생의 연령은 평균 15.41세(±2.16)이며 진단명은 지적장애(37.9%), 주요우울장애(24.1%), 품행장애(17.2%) 순이었다. 교사 평가에 의한 학생들의 전반적인 병원학교 생활에서 선생님과의 관계가 3.79점(±0.82)으로 가장 높은 점수를 보였고, 친구들과의 관계가 3.24점(±0.99)으로 가장 낮은 점수를 보였다. 학생이 평가한 병원학교의 전반적 만족도는 재량활동 4.24점(±0.83), 병원환경이 4.24점(±0.94)으로 높고 주요 교과목은 3.48점(±1.37)으로 가장 낮았다. 학생의 전반적인 병원학교 생활과 만족도는 시설물 배치편리에 대한 모든 하위항목과 선생님의 노력, 수업시간의 미래도움도, 선생님의 공평성, 수업시간 기대에 대한 대부분의 하위항목에서 유의한 정적상관을 보였다. ◉ 결론 : 본 연구를 통해 정신건강의학과 병원학교 학생들은 선생님과의 관계가 좋을수록 수업참여를 더 잘하고, 재량활동시간과 병원환경에 대해 가장 만족하고 있음을 확인하였다. 그러나 현재 국내에서 이러한 서비스를 받는 정신건강장애학생 수는 제한되어 있고 정신건강에 대한 폭넓은 이해에 기초한 커리큘럼이 정비되어 있지 않기 때문에 향후 다각적이고 체계적인 접근이 요구된다.

There is increased recognition of prisoners’ rights to healthcare and the right to be protectedagainst inhumane and degrading treatment. A prisoner has a right to the healthcare equivalent of any person in their community. This trend has encouraged many correctionalpolicymakers to engage in efforts to improve the levels of correctional healthcare in thecontext of human rights and to establish international standards of correctional healthcare,such as those cited in ‘Making Standard Work’ and ‘Health in Prisons’. This study compressed the issues of the right to healthcare into four parts and applied to the correctional healthcare system in Korea. In Korea, according to the results of the study,the right to healthcare of inmates in correctional institutions is guaranteed to some extent, but the gap between the normative frame and the reality is prominent. First, in the living conditions at correctional institutions, the problem of overcrowding is remarkably noticeable. With respect to ensuring correctional medical resources, a shortage of medicalpersonnel and the inferior state of the sickrooms that do not meet the criteria were found.Particularly, focusing on outside medical care, the issue of correctional medical expenditurehas been highlighted, due to the continuous increase in medical costs. Finally, the efforts for health promotion and treatment of mental health care are merely formalities. In orderto reduce the gap between international standards and actual conditions of correctionalinstitutions and to promote these rights effectively, close cooperation between the responsiblebodies is required.

This study was conducted to investigate the degree of practice of dietary behavior and dining out in accordance with intake of sodium among male and female adults aged 20 years or older residing in the Seoul Metropolitan area or Chungcheong Province. A total of 530 copies of the questionnaire were distributed from May to July, 2014. The SH group who responded that they eat a lot of sodium constituted 30.6% (158 people), followed by the SM group who responded that their sodium intake is about average at 55.7% (288 people) and the SL group who answered that they do not eat much sodium at 13.7% (71 people). Those in the SL group showed positive results for dietary behavior patterns. The SL group showed the lowest rate in terms of how often they eat harmful foods, including processed foods, sweet foods, salty foods, or food with high animal fat content such as pork belly. Positive results among the SL group were prominent in terms of avoiding over-drinking, regular exercise, and nutritional knowledge, indicating greater health management. The distribution of each group in terms of self-perceived sodium intake showed significant differences across age, gender, and household income in terms of frequency of fast food intake, regularity of meals, purchase of foods with consideration of sodium amount, frequency of missed meals, balance of food intake, and health management habits.

The purpose of this study is to identify the overall occupational safety and health status and the characteristics of the workers engaged in the field of the film and television artists, and to take appropriate measures to prevent industrial accidents, profession and working environment, safety recognition and education, safety activities, accident experience, and job stress survey. Survey using a structured questionnaire is to be used for 302 worker directly interview research. Safety awareness level of himself or herself was "middle level" of 3.1 points. Those of colleagues and the general public were evaluated to be low as 2.8 points and 2.5 points, respectively. During the last 12 months, 4.6% of total workers have received an industrial safety health education for work-related accident or disease. Regarding cases of having experienced work-related accident or having been exposed to work-related disease over the past 1 year, 20.2% of total respondents have experienced accident. 16.2% of total respondents have experienced work-related disease. And the workers are approximately one's own subjective feeling of physical symptoms that have appeared. In addition, the film sector workers in particular occupations men than women have higher job stress. Preventive education for industrial safety is required to be expanded and strengthened. Safety education is urgently required in order to prevent, and to reduce accident. Safety and health guideline is required to be developed and disseminated in order to prevent accident in advance. Finally, the actor and their staff members to reduce the stress, mental health care and education carefully needs to be in parallel. Also, when taking measures to reinforce safe work environment, it needs to be protected.

The occupational health and safety accidents were continuously increased during handling, usage and manufacturing the chemical materials according to increase of small and medium sized enterprises in domestic industries. These accidents mainly resulted from insufficient occupational health and safety management and deteriorative facilities and focused on corresponding operation to minimize the damage of accidents after occurrence. But, it was required that we grasped the occurrence causes of occupational health and safety risk in handling, usage and manufacturing the chemical materials and develop the adequate corresponding operation and system according to the possible occurrence of occupational health and safety risk. This study deals with the development of risk assessment model to derive the risk and important risk of occupational health and safety and then help to construct the self-controlled occupational health and safety system for small and medium sized enterprises handling the chemical materials.

The objectives of this study were twofold: to analyze seasonal variation in nutrients and sestonic chlorophyll (CHL-a) in Asian lotic ecosystems, which are influenced by seasonal monsoon rains, and to evaluate multi-trophic level ecological stream health (ESH) in relation to stream morphology, land-use patterns, and water chemistry. We conducted physical, chemical, and biological surveys at 72 national streams and rivers, and at 65 reference streams. Water chemistry data indicated that ambient nutrient (N, P) levels were closely associated with land-use patterns and stream elevation, and that these, in turn, influenced both community structures of fish and stream health in general. In the watershed, total phosphorus (TP) was a key determinant of sestonic CHL-a, and the mass ratio TN:TP was determined by phosphorus (R2 = 0.63, P < 0.01) rather than nitrogen (R2 = 0.01, P > 0.05). Proportions of tolerant and omnivorous fish increased with nutrient enrichment and organic matter pollution, while proportions of sensitive and insectivorous fish decreased. The neural network modeling of a self-organizing map (SOM) suggested that clustering of trained SOM units reflected stream morphology, land-use patterns, and water chemistry, which influenced community structures and tolerances of top trophic level fish species in the ecosystem. Lotic ecosystem health, based on a multi-metric approach (MF-IBI model), was clearly demonstrated by a multivariate analysis (PCA); important factors were watershed characteristics (land-use patterns), nutrient levels (N, P), organic matter (BOD, COD) regimes, and biological components (trophic and tolerance guilds).

The study objectives were to evaluate the aquatic environment of an urban stream using various ecological parameters of biological biomarkers, physical habitat and chemical water quality and to develop a “Multi-metric Eco-Model” (Mm-E Model) for the ecosystem evaluations. The biomarkers of DNA, based on the comet assay approach of single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE), were analyzed using the blood samples of Zacco platypus as a target species. The condition factor (CF) as key indicators of the population evaluation indicator was analyzed along with the weight-length relation and individual abnormality. The four metrics of Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) were added for the evaluations of physical habitat. In addition, the parameters of chemical water quality were used as eutrophic indicators. Our results suggested that attributes of biomarkers and bioindicators in the impacted zone (Iz) had sensitive response largely to the chemical stress (eutrophic indicators) and also partially to physical habitat quality, compared to the those in the control zone. Hereafter, applying Multimetric Eco-Model to stream ecosystem, it will be able to evaluate ecological health state.

본 연구는 하천생태계 내에서 작용하는 다양한 물리․화학 적 스트레서들의 영향을 어류를 이용한 생태건강성 평가를 통해 확인하고 Comet assay를 이용하여 DNA 수준에서의 영향을 파악하고 또한 Pre-warning system으로서의 기능을 평가하기 위한 사례연구로서 실시하였다. 대전 갑천의 5개 지점을 대상으로 생태건강성 평가를 위한 Index of Biological Integrity (IBI)를 우리나라 환경에 맞게 수정 적 용한 Multimetric Fish Assessment Index (MFAI)를 적용하 였고, 지점을 상류 (S1), 중류 (S3), 하류 (S5)로 구분하여 피라미 (Zacco platypus)를 대상으로 Comet assay를 실시 하였다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면, MFAI 모델은 평균 26.8 (Fair)이고 지점에 따라 34 (Good–Fair)에서 20 (Poor)까지 변이를 보였으며, 상류에서 하류로 갈수록 악화되는 경향을 보였다. 어류의 생태지표특성 역시 하류부에서 민감종의 급 감 및 내성종의 급증이 나타나 생태건강성 평가와 유사한 결과가 나타났다. 유전물질의 오염 정도를 나타내는 지표로 쓰이는 Comet assay도 상류보다 하류로 갈수록 DNA가 손 상된 세포수가 증가하는 것으로 나타나 상류보다 하류부에 서 오염에 대한 스트레스를 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to identify the practical knowledge about osteoporosis and health promoting behavior possessed by male and female university students in their twenties. Next, the study seeks to analyze the difference in the degree of knowledge and practice of health promoting behavior depending on the students’ area of study (health-related or non-health-related major) and previous education about osteoporosis. A survey was given to 300 male and female university students in Jeju Island from November 18 to December 6, 2013. Regarding knowledge about osteoporosis, the accuracy rate of health science major participants was 16.8 % higher than that of those of non-health science, and the accuracy rate of participants with previous education about osteoporosis was 12.9 % higher than those who had not. Health promoting behavior showed a higher degree of practice among students in health-related majors and those with previous applicable education. There were significant differences between the knowledge of osteoporosis and major and the presence and absence of prior education. Regarding the degree of health promoting behavior and major, the presence or absence of prior education showed significant differences. Among male and female students in their twenties, the recognition of knowledge about osteoporosis is very low. There is a need to develop various programs that focus on osteoporosis prevention rather than treatment, to improve the quality of education and training content according to the individual, and to lower the target age for osteoporosis education.

The purpose of this study was to compare the degree nutrient intake, health status and other characteristics of females aged 65 years and over in a longevity area according to family arrangement. For analysis, 585 female elderly were recruited from the Kugoksoondam area (Kurye, Goksung, Soonchang and Damyang counties), known as the longevity-belt region in Jeonla province, Korea. The subjects were categorized into three groups according to family arrangement (living alone, living with spouse only and living with family). Demographic characteristics were collected, as well as information on physical measurements, blood tests for biochemical indicators, health status and health-related life style, dietary behavior, favorite food groups, consumption frequency of food groups, nutrient intake and mini nutrition assessment. In the group living with their spouse only, the highest education, physical activity, diverse food intake, frequency of eating meats and fish, energy and nutrients intake, and score on the mininutrient status assessment (MNA) were found to be significantly favorable factors. Taken together, these results demonstrated that the group living with their spouse only had relatively superior nutrient intake and the quality of diet. In contrast, the group living alone showed the lowest self-rated economic status, diversity of food intake, and physical activity, with the highest frequency of drinking, smoking and regular exercise for almost everyday compared with the other groups. On the other hand, those living with family demonstrated the lowest intake of supplements or functional foods, and levels of hemoglobin hematocrit MCH, but the highest HBA1c and blood sugar. Therefore, the group living with family was assumed to be at risk of anemia and diabetes. These results could be useful to plan effective strategies to increase the health-life expectancy of Korean elderly people living in rural areas, according to family arrangement.

본 연구는 가로림만에 서식하는 대형저서동물의 군집구조와 건강도를 평가하는데 목적이 있다. 대형저서동물의 채집을 위한 현장조사는 2012년 5월(이하 춘계)와 7월(이하 하계)에 실시하였다. 가로림만에서는 총 247종 4.4 m-2과 35,745개체(1,625개체 m-2)의 대형저서동물이 출현하였고, 다모류가 120종과 27,310개체(1,241개체 m-2)의 밀도를 나타내 가장 우점하는 생물이었다. 가로림만의 주요 우점종은 다모류의 작은사슴갯지렁이(Ampharete arctica), 긴자락송곳갯지렁이(Lumbrineris longifolia), Mediomastus californiensis 및 Euclymene oerstedi등이었다. 출현 종과 개체수의 자료를 근거로 대형저서동물의 군집구조를 파악한 결과, 대형저서동물 군집은 크게 3개로 구별되었고, 조립질 퇴적물(그룹 1과 2)과 혼합 및 세립질 퇴적물(그룹 3)이 우세한 정점군으로 나뉘었다. 가로림만의 건강도를 평가한 결과, BPI지수는 춘계와 하계에 공통적으로 가장 양호한 상태(high status; normal)를 나타낸 반면, AMBI지수는 양호한 상태(good status; slightly polluted)를 반영하고 있었다. 따라서 가로림만의 건강도는 양호한 상태를 나타내는 것으로 판단할 수 있었다.
