This study examined the correlation between safety practices and safety knowledge, safety awareness and safety efficacy, and the factors influencing the safety practices of in-home child-care providers. The participants were 199 in-home child-care providers who worked at two cities in G province. Using a structured-questionnaire, the data were collected from December 2019 to January 2020. The data were analyzed using the IMB/SPSS 25.0 program. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, percent, mean, and SD), a t-test, ANOVA, Scheff test, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and multiple regression. The mean score for safety knowledge, safety awareness, safety efficacy, and safety practices were 0.64 (SD, 0.09), 1.92 (SD, 0.37), 4.18 (SD, 0.51), and 2.55 (SD, 0.36), respectively. Safety practices were positively correlated with the safety knowledge (r=.14, p=.042), safety efficacy (r=.43, p<.001), and sub-factors of safety efficacy, self-regulation (r=.32, p<.001), enlisting social support (r=.40, p<.001), and controlling the environment (r=.39, p<.001). Enlisting social support and controlling the environment, sub-factors of safety efficacy were influenced safety practices significantly and explained 20.0% of the variance. Based on these findings, it will be necessary to develop a program that can enhance their safety efficacy for safety practices of in-home child-care providers.

Objective: This study evaluated the effects of a non-face-to-face obesity management program, implemented during the pandemic. Methods: The non-face-to-face obesity management program used the Intervention mapping protocol (IMP). The program was put into effect over the course of eight weeks, from September 14 to November 13, 2020 in 48 overweight and obese adults, who applied to participate through the Daegu Citizen Health Support Center. Results: IMP was first a needs assessment was conducted; second, goal setting for behavior change was established; third, evidence-based selection of arbitration method and performance strategy was performed; fourth, program design and validation; fifth, the program was run; and sixth, the results were evaluated. The average weight after participation in the program was reduced by 1.2kg, average WC decreased by 3cm, and average BMI decreased by 0.8kg/m² (p<0.05). The results of the health behavior survey showed a positive improvement in lifestyle factors, including average daily intake calories, fruit intake, and time spent in walking exercise before and after participation in the program. A statistically significant difference was seen (p<0.05). The satisfaction level for program process evaluation was high, at 4.57±0.63 point. Conclusion: The non-face-to-face obesity management program was useful for obesity management for adults in communities, as it enables individual counseling by experts and active participation through self-body measurement and recording without restriction by time and place. However, the program had some restrictions on participation that may relate to the age of the subject, such as skill and comfort in using a mobile app.
