This study aimed to compare general and female health-related factor between day-work and shift-work worker. It is based on the data of the Korea National Health&Nutrition Examination Survey(KNHANES) 2nd year on 7th period. The number of participants was 10,430. Out of the participants, 1,995 workers' dara was analyzed. The age, marital status, education level, occupational status and childbirth experience of female workers indicated significant differences between day and shift work. By contrast, health-related quality of life did not represent significant differences these factors; income, subjective health cognition, stress perception, depression experience, menarcheal age, menopausal age and breastfeeding period. The shift work is inevitably implemented as an industrial development and flexible work hours. Therefore, social and national attention and measures as well as those of individual workers are required to reduce the side effects from shiftwork.

The study was attempted to investigate the factors influencing the academic procrastination of nursing college students. The subjects who participated in this study were 215 nursing students at one college in the Ulsan were surveyed using a structured questionnairs. Independent t-test, one way ANOVA and Pearson's correlation coefficient, Stepwise regression were performed on the collected data using SPSS 25.0 program. Study finding revealed that fear of failure(β=0.65, p<.001), socially prescribed perfectionism(β=0.29, p<.001), about academic procrastination were significant predictive variables(F=26.68, p<.001). This variables accounted for 28.8% of the variance in core nursing competency. The results of this study can be used as basic data for developing a program to lower the academic procrastination level of nursing students.

Various radioactive materials exist around us. In recent years, as interest in health has increased along with the improvement of the quality of life, examinations using radiation are also increasing. This research defined aforementioned radiation as a living radiation and developed a measurement to measure general knowledge people have on it. Eighteen reliable items were developed; current status on general knowledge regarding the safety of living radiation was analyzed using the items. As a result, a group with radiation-related education got statistically higher score than a group without such education. Correlation analysis and regression analysis showed that higher attention on usual safety leads into the greater knowledge on safety of living radiation. Therefore, this research shed lights on the necessity of radiation safety-related education in current educational course in schools.

This study was conducted to promote male nursing students' adaptation to college life by identifying life stress, grit, and degree of adaptation to college life, and the effect of grit mediating effect on the relationship between life stress and college life adjustment. became The subjects of this study were 209 male nursing college students enrolled in nursing departments in 5 major cities. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN 25.0. Life stress showed a significant negative correlation with college life adaptation and grit, but grit showed a positive correlation with college life adaptation. As a result of mediating effect verification, the final model explained 43.5% of college life adaptation. Therefore, in order to improve male nursing students' adaptation to college life, it is required to develop a program that can lower life stress and increase grit and college life adaptation level.

This study was conducted to survey the learners' satisfaction with the online head and neck anatomy class and obtain basic data for the purpose of possibly making continuing online class educationally more effective. A Google Forms survey was conducted with dental hygiene students, and 120 copies of the questionnaire were used as data for the final analysis. The study surveyed when they take on online classes and the types of online classes and had the respondents subjectively evaluate their own understanding of the classes and their academic achievements through them. The biggest influence on learning immersion was academic achievement and the biggest influence on the satisfaction with online class was the students' understanding of the class. It is hoped that the research results will shed light on the directions for designing new curriculums in anatomy in this era of a pandemic.

The aim of this study was to examined the dermatoxicity of ferrous chloride (FeCl2) and the antioxidative effect of Stachys japonica Miq (SJ) extract on FeCl2-induced cytotoxicity. For this study, superoxide anion-radical (SAR)-scavenging and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like abilities with cell viability were done. FeCl2 showed a significant decrease of cell viability in dose-dependent manner, and it was mid-toxic. The caffeic acid showed a significant increase of cell viability against FeCl2-induced cytotoxicity. In the protective effect of SJ extract on FeCl2-induced cytotoxicity, it showed SAR-scavenging and SOD-like abilities with a significant increase of cell viability. From these results, the cytotoxicity of FeCl2 is correlated with oxidative stress, and SJ extract effectively protected the cytotoxicity of FeCl2 by antioxidative effect. Conclusively, the natural resources like SJ extract may be a useful fundamental materials for the development of an alternative antioxidant.

Elderly people with Parkinson's disease have higher rates of physical and mental risk factors for falls than non-Parkinson's disease elderly. The purpose of this study is to investigate this by using national data that includes the entire population of the elderly in Korea. As a secondary analysis study using data survey on the elderly by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2017, there were a total of 103 elderly people with Parkinson's disease, and a total of 96 subjects were analyzed excluding missing values. In the elderly with Parkinson's disease, the factor most influencing the fall was IADL, and IADL is related to motor control function. Decreased motor control limits physical movements essential for daily life, and even affects self-protective behavior in emergency situations, affecting falls. Based on the research results that IADL can affect falls, various exercise therapies for fall prevention interventions in the elderly with Parkinson's disease can be suggested.

This is a study using data from the 8th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to identify the factors that affect the handgrip strength and health status in the elderly. Bivariate logistic regression analysis was performed on 1,470 subjects. As a result of this study, the decrease in grip strength was significantly lower for males, 70-74 or 65-69 years of age, and those who thought their subjective health status was normal or good. The decrease in grip strength was significantly higher when the education level was less than elementary school or middle school, and when the sleeping time was more than 8 hours. Considering the variables affecting hand grip strength, it can be used as basic data when establishing health policies for the elderly or health promotion policies to improve grip strength as a primary prevention activity.

By 2025, South Korea is expected to enter an ultra-aged society with the elderly comprising 20.6% of the population. We measured changes in health status before and after by the use of a "Cognition-Emotion Enhancement Chatbot Integrated Product" among Baby Boomer generation women. Fifty participants, proficient in smart device usage and willing to provide data, were selected from health communities in Seoul. After excluding some applicants, 43 Baby Boomer women were analyzed. Results revealed significant differences in post-chatbot use physical activity (43.5.21 ± 1310.39 MET) and depression levels (6.84 ± 3.53). Correlation between the two variables was not statistically significant. The findings suggest specific effects of the chatbot on physical activity and depression, emphasizing the need for future research with diverse health indicators.
