Safety and health related information for the proper use and handling of pesticides is usually printed on the surface of the pesticide products (bottle type or bag type) in the form of texts. But, the guidelines or standards for the appropriate presentation of the texts for the pesticide products are most vague or not practical. Thus, this study aimed to provide the preliminary guidelines for the text sizes based on the legibility experiments. Total twenty subjects from two age groups (young: n=10, old: n=10, five males and five females in each group) participated in the experiment. First, subjects read the text cards presented in the distance of 50cm from the eyes of the subjects. Eight different text card sets were prepared for different font type(thick gothic-type and fine gothic-type), thickness of font(plain and bold), and number of syllables (2 and 3 syllables). When subjects read the cards, the correctness of reading (correct or wrong) was recorded and the degree of discomfort (from 1: no discomfort at all to 4: can't read at all) was also evaluated for all the text sizes. Results showed that the character size should be 4 pt or larger for the young subjects to read at least one word correctly in all the text conditions. For the old subjects to read at least one word correctly, the character size should be five pt or larder. The average of the minimum character sizes for 100% correct answer is 6.1 pt for young subjects and 10.5 pt for old subjects, respectively.

The occupational safety and health expenses in construction since 1988 has contributed significantly to the reduction of injury occurrence rate. But the appropriation standards for the Occupational Safety and Health Expenses in Construction(OSHEC) have been pointed out so many issues. The purpose of this study is to present ways to improve the appropriation standards for OSHEC through the reviewing of several issues about the current system and analysis of existing statistical data. Based on the result of the research, it is proposed the new model for OSHEC.

정신건강 문제를 가진 교정시설 수형자가 증가하고 있지만, 이들을 분리 수용할 시설 및 치료를 담당할 전문 인력이 부족한 실정이다. 정신질환을 가진 수형자들은 일반 수형자들보다 규칙위반으로 징벌을 받을 기회가 더 높고 자살 위험에도 노출되어 있다. 또한 치료받지 못하고 출소한 경우 사회에 재적응하지 못하고 다시 재범에 빠질 위험도 크다 하겠다. 본 연구의 목적은 수형자의 정신건강문제를 파악하고 정신건강서비스의 개선방안을 모색해보는 것이다. 구체적인 연구 내용은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 수형자들의 정신건강에 대한 관련 연구를 검토한다. 둘째, 수형자를 위한 정신건강 서비스 현황을 탐색한다. 셋째, 정신건강서비스 증진 방안으로 조기발견을 위한 정기적인 정신상태검사와 심리치료 프로그램 강화, 전문 인력 충원과 치료시설의 확충, 지역사회 관련기관과의 네트워크 구축 등을 고찰한다.

Daily workers in construction sites rarely receive the benefit of systematic safety and health training as they are required to move from one construction site to another in response to the start, completion, and repetition of construction works. Also, small- to medium-sized construction sites often lack the capacity to train their workers. Therefore, as in the advanced countries, basic OSH training sheme for construction workers should be conducted in the industrial-level, rather than in individual workplace-level, to make the training more effective. By doing so, only workers with the basic safety training will be able to engage in construction works. Consequently, accidents in the construction industry will decrease, as workers themselves who are at the forefront of the construction worksites are empowered to play the central role in accident prevention activities.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between MMPI(Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) scale and safety and health related indices in the shipbuilding workmen. The MMPI scores of the 230 shipbuilding workmen applicants and their performance records regarding safety and health were analyzed through t-test and one-way ANOVA to obtain the following results; (1) applicants intended to show the positive characteristics of their personality, and this attitude reflected a decrease on T-scores of MMPI; (2) there were significant relationships between some MMPI subscales and safety & health related indices. These results can be used to provide baseline information for more effective accident prevention programs.

목 적: 본 연구는 부모의 사회·경제적 요인과 초등학생의 눈 건강과의 관계를 확인함으로써 저소득층 학령기 아동의 눈 건강 불평등이 존재하는지를 확인하고자 한다. 방 법: 국민건강영양조사(2009) 데이터를 이용하여 만 7-12세의 초등학생 935명을 대상으로 일반적인 특성과 사회·경제적요인, 눈 건강 관련요인을 χ2 검정하였다. 결 과: 최근 1년간 눈검사 여부, 안경착용비율, 교정시력 1.0이상은 가구소득이 낮을수록 낮은 비율을 보였고, 근시 유병률, 원시 유병률, 자동굴절력계로 측정한 굴절이상도가 ``0~-2D``는 가구 소득이 낮을수록 높은 비율로 나타났다. 결 론: 부모의 사회경제적요인과 눈 건강의 관계를 χ2 검정한 결과 유의하지 않았지만, 유병률과 굴절이상도 등의 비율로 부모의 사회경제적 요인이 아동의 눈 건강에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었고, 저소득층 학령기 아동의 눈 건강 불평등 해소를 위해 정기적인 시력검사와 재보정 기회 제공 등의 중·장기적인 안보건 정책이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 국내 정신보건 서비스 실태와 제도를 조사하여 문제점을 파악하고 외국의 사례와 비교하여 개선방안을 모색하기 위해 시행되었다. 우리나라의 정신보건법은 정신질환의 예방과 정신질환자의 의료 및 사회복귀에 관하여 필요한 사항을 규정함으로써 국민의 정신건강증진에 이바지함을 목적으로 1995년 제정되었다. 이후 3차례의 개정을 거쳐 최근 정신질환자의 인권보호강화 및 작업요법에 대한 근거 신설(제46조의 2) 등을 주요내용으로 일부 개정되어‘작업요법’이 재활서비스의 중요한 부분으로 명기 되었다. 그러나 국가인권위원회가 2008년 10월부터 12월까지 국∙공립병원 3개소와 민간병원 4개소를 대상으로 정신보건시설 방문조사 결과 작업치료부재 또는 종류 부족, 작업 치료 계획과 평가, 작업치료일지 작성 미흡, 작업치료의 명목의 화장실∙병동 간호사실 청소 및 중증환자 간병 등의 인권 침해사례가 보고 된 바 있다. 이에 대한 근본적인 원인은 부적합한 용어(작업요법)의 사용으로 상위법(정신보건법)과 하위법(시행규칙) 간의 모순을 초래하여 작업치료서비스가 작업치료사가 아닌 비전문가에 의해 제공되고 있는데 기인한다. 따라서 정신보건법 개정 기본 취지인 정신질환자의 인권을 보호하고 양질의 정신보건서비스 제공을 보장하여 정신보건시설 내의 작업치료에 대한 신뢰를 회복하기 위해서는 제도 개선이 시급하다. 즉 정신보건법에 작업치료의 정의와 작업치료사의 업무범위를 명시하고 작업치료사가 정신과 필수인력으로서 종사할 수 있도록 관련 법률개정이 이루어져야 한다. 우선적으로 이러한 제도적 보완이 이루어 질 때 그에 따른 정신과 작업치료사의 전문성 확립도 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

We examined the relationship between breakfast eating, nutrient intake, and health outcomes using dietary intake, anthropometric, and biochemical measurements in Korean adults. Data from the 2007 National Health and Nutrition Survey were obtained, and 2,514 adults aged 20 to 64 years were analyzed. The prevalence of skipping breakfast, using a 24-hour diet recall, was 54.5% in the 20-29 age group, 31.2% in the 30-49 age group, and 19.2% in the 50-64 age group. In the 20-29 age group, waist circumstance and serum cholesterol were significantly higher in breakfast skippers than in breakfast eaters. In the 30-49 age group, breakfast skippers had higher triglyceride levels than breakfast eaters. Energy intake of breakfast skippers in every age group was significantly lower than that of breakfast eaters. Furthermore, in the 20-29 and 30-49 age groups, the percent of energy from carbohydrates in breakfast skippers was significantly lower than that of breakfast eaters, whereas the percent of energy from lipids in breakfast skippers was significantly higher than that of breakfast eaters. Additionally, in the 20-29 and 30-49 age groups, breakfast eaters showed higher carbohydrate and iron intake per 1,000 kcal than breakfast skippers and lower lipid intake per 1,000 kcal than that of breakfast skippers. Breakfast skippers showed intakes of less nutrients than EAR was higher than breakfast eaters except vitamin B2 and calcium intake in males of the 20-29 age group. In conclusion, nutrition education, and policy should be implemented to teach the importance of breakfast, appropriate dietary intake, and proper food choice for each age group.

The elderly is a target group for health functional foods (HFFs). We surveyed 825 Korean elderly (71.4- years-of-age) for HFF use and significant variables for HFF use including demographic characteristics, health related variables, and nutritional beliefs. The prevalence of HFF use was 48.7%, and among all types of HFF, red ginseng products were eaten most frequently, followed by ginseng products, nutritional supplements, and mushroom products. The mean age of users of HFFs was lower than nonusers (p<.01). HFFs were eaten more frequently by subjects from families living with a spouse or unmarried children (p<.01) and those with higher levels of monthly pocket money (p<.001). HFFs were also eaten more frequently by subjects or their spouses with a higher education level (p<.001). The social activity participation ratio (p<.01) of subjects and the HFF usage ratio by the spouse (p<.001) were higher in users of HFF than in nonusers. Dietary assessment scores were not different between the two groups, and users had a more positive view concerning the potential health benefits of HFFs than did nonusers (p<.001). Most users of HFF ate HFFs "when they were healthy" (52.2%) and experienced some effect through HFF use (45.8%). Most users of HFFs received information on HFFs through their families or relatives (38.1%) and most purchased HFFs at the pharmacy or oriental medicine clinic (44.8%). HFF users preferred multivitamin- and Ca-supplements most among the vitamin and mineral supplements belonged to HFFs. The above results show that HFF use is widely spread among subjects, and that use of HFF is influenced by various factors. Thus, practical guidelines for HFF use should be provided for the elderly through elderly focused-nutrition education based upon significant variables and consumption behaviors for their HFF use of present study.

Few would dispute that good health is fundamental to a full and active life. It is the key to wealth and prosperity. Good health contributes directly to economic growth while poor health drives poverty. The right to health is considered directly in many international instruments including the World Health Organization. Every single country in the world is now a member of at least one of the many international instruments where health is treated as a human right. Sound health is a precondition to enjoy right to live peaceful. This right to health is guaranteed by the Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. If anybody in Bangladesh is deprived of enjoying his life then he can go to the court in order enforce his right. This paper aims at giving an overview of legal and regulatory framework of different international legal instruments and national laws of Bangladesh relating to healthcare and shares the response of Bangladesh Government in relation to the framework.

본 연구에서는 국민건강영양조사 1998년(제1기)부터 2008년(제4기 2차) 조사까지 총 5기의 식품섭취조사 자료를 이용하여, ‘들깻잎, 생것’, ‘들깻잎, 데친것’, ‘들깻잎, 찐것’, ‘들깻잎, 통조림’의 섭취자 및 섭취량에 대한 분석을 시행하였다. 특히, 국민건강영양조사의 식품 섭취량 자료로부터 합리적이고 객관적으로 들깻잎 섭취자의 수 및 섭취량을 산출할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 들깻잎의 섭취량에 대한 분석은 국민건강영양조사의 전체 응답자의 평균 섭취량(응답자 평균 섭취량), 들깻잎 섭취자의 평균 섭취량(섭취자 평균 섭취량), 상위 5%의 극단 섭취자의 평균 섭취량(극단 섭취량), 남성 및 여성의 평균 섭취량, 20세 미만과 20세 이상의 평균 섭취량의 5가지의 항목으로 구분하여 분석되었다. 들깻잎 섭취자의 수 및 섭취량을 분석한 결과 들깻잎 섭취자의 수는 조사연도별로 균일한 분포를 나타내었으며, 1일 7-10명 중 1명이 들깻잎을 섭취한다는 결과를 도출하였다. 남성과 여성의 섭취자 비율은 여성이 남성에 비해 평균 1.22배 더 많았다. 응답자 평균 섭취량은 2.20 g이었으며, 섭취자의 평균 섭취량은 2005년에서 가장 높았고(21.40 g), 1998년과 2008년에 비하여 0.24 g 정도 증가하였다. 대부분의 조사연도에서 남성의 섭취량이 여성에 비해 높았고, 20세 미만의 섭취량은 전체적으로 20세 이상 섭취량보다 낮았다. 극단 섭취량 1998년에서 2005년까지의 섭취량이 평균 78.02 g으로 높았지만, 2007년과 2008년에는 평균 55.58 g로 낮아졌다. 들깻잎 섭취형태를 분석한 결과 ‘들깻잎, 생것’, ‘들깻잎, 통조림’, ‘들깻잎, 데친것’, ‘들깻잎, 찐것’ 순으로 응답자 수 및 섭취량 순위가 결정되었다. 그 중 ‘들깻잎, 데친것’, ‘들깻잎, 찐것’의 데이터가 충분치 않아 결과가 좋지 않게 나왔다. 또한 국민건강영양조사 식품 섭취량 데이터는 2007년부터 상시 조사를 시작하였으며, 그 이전에는 시행된 연도에 따라 조사 기간 및 계절이 1998년과 2001년에는 11-12월, 2005년에는 4-6월로 일관되지 않았기 때문에 연간 일일 섭취량을 판단하는 데 한계가 있을 것이라 생각된다. 본 연구의 결과를 확대하면 들깻잎 이외의 다른 농산물, 축산물, 수산물 및 이들의 가공품에도 적용할 수 있다. 이러한 식품의 섭취량에 대한 객관적인 정보는 농축수산물 및 가공식품을 통해 의도 또는 비의도적으로 섭취하는 화학 잔류물질의 위해성 평가를 위한 좋은 기초 자료가 될 것이다.

This study was performed with Korean adults to investigate Makgeolli drinking behavior, preference, and perception about Makgeolli and health, as well as Makgeolli complaints and prices. A survey questionnaire was formulated to obtain information on demographic variables, drinking habits, and perceptions about Makgeolli's function, price, and complaints. The questionnaire was distributed to 468 adults living in the capital area. The results are as follows. Makgeolli (16.1%) was third preferred, following Soju (45.1%) and beer (30.7%), and no significant differences were observed by gender and income, but the preference for Makgeolli increased with increasing age (p<0.001). According to the survey, the largest reason both genders drank Makgeolli was that it tastes good. Men preferred Makgeolli for its health effects and cheap price, while women preferred it for the atmosphere while drinking it. Also, older people and those with higher incomes preferred drinking Makgeolli for its health effect rather than its good taste (p<0.001 for each). No significant difference was observed by gender for the question "Do you think that Makgeolli has a health-promoting effect?" Overall, 51% of the subjects gave positive answers and only 5.9% gave negative answers. Significantly, older people and those with a higher income had a higher rate of answering positively to this question. Belching (45.1%) and headache (29.9%) were the most common symptoms among the side effects of drinking Makgeolli. No significant difference was observed by gender or income, but older people had a higher rate of belching and fewer headaches than younger people (p<0.001). Women had a significantly higher rate of perceiving that Makgeolli was cheap than men. Age and income differences did not influence price perception. To the question "What is the ideal price for high quality Makgeolli", 32.1% answered that the present rate (1,000 won) was ideal, and 59.4% answered that a price between 1,000 and 2,000 won was ideal. These results indicate that the high preference for Makgeolli is due to its good taste and health effects. However, belching and headache caused by drinking Makgeolli were the most common complaints and, thus, must be solved. Some opinions indicated that Makgeolli must eliminate its low-quality image, but, according to this survey, most subjects answered that the ideal price of higher-quality Makgeolli should be increased slightly, which would cause price resistance.
