This article tried to define the relations between knowledge of tuberculosis infection, behavior and prevent behavior of the students of the department of dental hygiene and of non-dental hygiene. The data was collected from May, 2017 to June, 2017. Characteristics relative to variables were measured. As the result, in tuberculosis infection for the students of the department of dental hygiene, the average point was 13.56points for knowledge; 45.75 points for behavior and 41.75points for prevent behavior. In tuberculosis infection for the students of the department of non-dental hygiene, the average point was 12.93points for knowledge; 45.58points for behavior and 42.01 for prevent behavior. As the result of the study, the student's knowledge of tuberculosis had the effect on behavior, but it didn't have the effect on prevent behavior, on the other hand, it had the effect on prevent behavior. The result of this study may be utilized for an educational program for preventing tuberculosis infection of the students.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge and attitude on tuberculosis for the nursing students in Daejeon, South Korea and Yanbien, China. A descriptive study was conducted. Data were collected from April to July of 2015 in each college and a total of 175 students assigned to 107 in Daejeon and 68 in Yanbien participated in the study. The data were analyzed by using the SPSS 21.0. There was no significant difference in knowledge and attitude on tuberculosis between the two groups. According to the results, in both groups, the mean score of knowledge and attitude was very low. In both groups, the correlation among knowledge, attitude and educational experience about tuberculosis was positive. In Daejeon nursing students, the attitude and gender explained about 15.3% and in Yanbien students, the attitude, grade explained about 40.2% in knowledge on tuberculosis. In Daejeon nursing students, the knowledge, health interest and educational experience explained about 23.5% and in Yanbien students, the knowledge and health interest explained about 23.9% in attitude on tuberculosis. Based on these findings, education which can guide nursing students to have correct information and positive attitude should be designed to manage tuberculosis infection. Therefore, it would be utilized in tuberculosis management education effectively for them.

Background: The mortality rate from tuberculosis in Korea is the highest among OECD countries. However, general public's knowledge of tuberculosis is limited. Currently, exposure to tuberculosis in high school students is a big problem. Methods: A written questionnaire was distributed to 78 high school students in Busan. Results: Almost all the students had heard of tuberculosis (95%). However, their knowledge of tuberculosis was very superficial and limited. The attitude about tuberculosis was 'nothing to worry about' and there was no systemic education in the school or home. Conclusion: Although tuberculosis is quite serious in Korea, most people know little about it and have the wrong attitude. In particular, high school students are easily exposed to tuberculosis because they spend most of their time as a group. Therefore, education of high school students on tuberculosis is strongly recommended in schools and the home. In addition, medical practitioners should play a role in education and prevention programs.

This study examined the relationships among levels of knowledge, attitude and preventive behavior regarding tuberculosis in service workers. The survey period was 1 - 7 October, 2015 with service workers who work in large scale stores in Jeonnam. The collected data were analyzed using an independent t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficients using the SPSS WIN 12.0 program. The mean score for knowledge about tuberculosis was $14.05{\pm}6.39$, the mean score of attitude toward tuberculosis was $29.87{\pm}4.89$ and the mean score of preventive behavior for tuberculosis was $31.44{\pm}4.86$. Preventive behavior was found to have significant relationships with gender, marital status, smoking, job satisfaction, and subjective health status. A slightly positive correlation was observed between the knowledge of tuberculosis and the attitudes toward tuberculosis. A positive correlation was noted between the attitude toward tuberculosis and preventive behavior for tuberculosis, while there was a negative correlation between the preventive behavior and age. Therefore, is necessary to consider the related factors for the development and implementation of systematic education programs that can encourage and promote preventive behavior for tuberculosis among service workers.

결핵은 인류의 역사와 함께한 오래된 질병이다. 과거 우리나라의 결핵유병률은 5%에 이를 정도로 심각하였으나 국가결핵관리를 통해 급격하게 유병률이 낮아졌는데, 이에 따라 비결핵성 항산균에 의한 감염이 상대적으로 증가하고 있다. 강력한 결핵관리사업으로 의료인은 물론 일반인들도 결핵에 관해 많은 지식을 갖고있으나, 비결핵성 항산균에 대한 인식수준은 그리 높지 못하다. 이 글에서는 얼마 전 사회적으로 문제가 되었던 한의원 집단발병 사건을 중심으로 비결핵성 항산균에 대해서 설명하고자 한다.

의사는 환자의 병을 낫게 하는 치료자가 아니라 환자가 병을 극복할 수 있도록 도와주는 가이드 역할을 할 뿐이다. 험준한 히말라야의 풍토와 지리를 잘 알고 있는 셀파가 등반대를 잘 가이드 하여 수많은 역경을 극복하고 정상에 도달할 수 있도록 도와주는 것처럼, 결핵환자를 진료하는 의사의 역할은 결핵에 대한 지식과 경험을 이용해 결핵 환자가 완치에 도달할 수 있도록 곁에서 도와주는 것이라고 생각된다.

For health care professionals(HCPs) who have relatively higher possibility of exposing tuberculosis(Tb), it is important for them to equip with proper levels of knowledge and prevention activities. In terms of establishment of Tb education model for junior HCPs, therefore, literature review was done alongside 129 junior HCPs and 14 HCPs were asked to answer questionnaires and telephone survey. The results are follows.; Firstly, six educational themes such as epidermiology of Tb, Tb transmission and patho-physiology, test and diagnosis, latent Tb, Tb treatment, and Tb prevention were identified, based on the literature review. Secondly, the junior HCPs showed lower levels of knowledge regarding epidermiology, transmission and patho-physiology and latent Tb, compared to the other themes. When education courses are planned, longer period of time should be given to the lower level of knowledge areas. Thirdly, the HCPs emphasized that definition and type of Tb should be well integrated into the education in particular epidermiology education. They also responded that hospital infection and infection cycle of Tb need to be addressed during educational session about transmission and patho-physiology. in addition, they said that specific and detailed contents about diagnosis and group examination should be carefully delivered during the education, along with diagnosis, test and application of personal protective devices during education of latent Tb. They also answered that patient education and adverse effect of Tb medication should be taught during Tb treatment session, as well as self activities of health promotion for junior HCPs and systematic TB education as key way of Tb prevention. As the findings were from limited numbers of respondents and contained the sampling bias, the result has to be carefully interpretated prior to generalization. Therefore, further survey with larger study population is required in terms of development of Tb education model.

This study aimed to identify factors that had an influence on preventive behaviors of Emergency Medical Service students against tuberculosis to promote their preventive behavior. The subjects of the study were 314 students studying emergency medical service from one 4-year college and two 3-year colleges in Jeollabukdo and they were researched with the use of a questionnaire from June 25, to July 6, 2018. For a statistical analysis of the data obtained, this study used SPSS 18.0 and conducted a t-test, an ANOVA, a Pearson's correlation coefficient and a multi-regression test to analyze the data. Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis showed that the preventive behavior levels was significantly correlated with knowledge of tuberculosis (r = 0.268, p <0.001) and attitude (r = 0.394, p<0.001). As results of the multi-regression test, the higher the knowledge of tuberculosis(${\beta}=0.152$, p<0.001) and the higher the attitude(${\beta}=0.052$, p<0.001), the higher the preventive behavior levels. In addition, Students who have experienced tuberculosis in their own or relative's relatives have a high level of prevention behavior(${\beta}=-0.186$, p=0.001). Therefore, it is suggested that organized and consistent education programs to promote knowledge on tuberculosis, change negative perception on it and improve preventive behavior levels should be developed and provided.
