Method: The data were collected from 1633 3-6th grade elementary school students using a self-report questionnaire. Results: 1) The mean score for the coping ability of the students was low at .38(${\pm}.36$). 2) The mean scores for the 8 categories were, [Care for common symptoms], .54(${\pm}.48$), [Call for help & check], .47(${\pm}.43$), [Care for injury by heat cold & foreign body], .39(${\pm}.45$), [Care for tissue damage], .36(${\pm}.44$), [Offering help], .36(${\pm}.42$), [Rescue & escape], .31(${\pm}.51$), [Evacuation], .28(${\pm}.49$), and [Appropriate response for the situation], .27(${\pm}.43$). The mean scores for 2 areas were, 'Acting tips', .35(${\pm}.36$) and 'First aid', .42(${\pm}.40$). There were significant differences in coping ability according to students' gender (t=4.964, p<.001), and family type (t=-2.484, p=.013). 4) Among the categories, there were significant correlations between all 8 categories and significant correlation between 'Acting tips' and 'First aid' (r=.808, p<.001), 'Acting tips' and 'Coping ability' (r=.956, p<.001), and 'First aid' and 'Coping ability' (r=.946, p<.001).

Purpose: This study determined the effect of inter dental brush education on the dental plaque index, and the degree of halitosis for elementary school students. Methods: The study was performed on a non-equivalent control group, with a pre-test and post-test design. The study was intended for a total of 50 students. They were divided into two groups; an experimental group of 25 students and a control group of 25 students. The experimental group participated in inter dental brush education. The education took about 20 minutes, and was provided once a week, for a total of three weeks. To quantify the effect, the two groups were compared in terms of the dental plaque index and the degree of halitosis. Results: Without inter dental brush education, or a test for homogeneity, in the sense of exact equivalence of the dental plaque index and the degree of halitosis between the experimental and the control group, was supported. (p>.799, p>.876). 1) The first hypothesis, "The experimental group, who participated in inter dental brush education, would reveal a lower dental plaque indices than the control group", was supported (t=5.78, p<.001). 2) The second hypothesis, "The experimental group, who participated in inter dental brush education, would reveal a lower degrees of halitosis than the control group", was supported (t=4.49, p<.001). Conclusion: The proposed inter dental brush education is effective in improving the dental plaque index and the degree of halitosis for elementary school students.

Results: 1) The mean of total item score for internet addiction was 2.1, which was slightly low. Of respondents in this research 48.4% normally use the internet, while 48.5% addictively use the internet and as high as 3.1% were serious internet-addicted. 2) There was a significant correlation between internet addiction, self-esteem, aggression, impulsivity, parent's support and friend's support(γ= -.15 ～ .44). 3) Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that amount of time spent on the internet per day, impulsivity, aggression, gender, self-esteem, duration to use of internet, father's age, and the major place where the internet was used were the predictors of internet addiction and accounted for 47% of the variance in internet addiction. Conclusion: Time spend on the internet per day, impulsivity, aggression, gender, self-esteem, duration to use of internet, father's age, the major place where the internet was used accounted for internet addiction in elementary school students.

Purpose: This study was done to identify perceived body image, intentional caloric restriction and physical manifestations of unbalanced nutrition according to the Body Mass Index (BMI) in elementary school students. Methods: The research design was a cross-sectional descriptive study. Data collection was done by using a structured questionnaire that consisted of 34 items. Participants were 151 students in 5th and 6th grades of elementary schools in Gangwon province. Frequency and percentage, one-way ANOVA, and $\chi^2$-test with SPSS WIN 12.0 were used to analyze the data. Results: In elementary school students, over-weight/obesity and normal weight groups reported that they would be satisfied with a thinner body image compared to the present image. The score for intentional caloric restriction was significantly higher in the over-weight/obesity group than in the under-weight group. In physical manifestations of unbalanced nutrition, students in the under-weight group frequently were pale and had dry skin, whereas the over-weight/obesity group reported frequent upper respiratory symptoms. Conclusion: The results suggest that elementary school students need to develop the perception of an adequate body image and to avoid inadequate caloric intake if promotion of the child's growth and development is to be without physical manifestations of unbalanced nutrition.
