The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between health locus of control (HLOC) and the eating behaviors in obese high school girls. The sample consisted of 262 obese high school girls in Seoul and Kangwon-Do. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The average scores of HLOC were HLOC- Internal; 4.06, HLOC-External; 2.47, and HLOC-Chance; 2.15. 2. The average scores of eating behavior factors were Disinhibition ; 2.91, Hunger ; 2.73, Dietary Restraint ; 2.55. 3. The HLOC-Internal and eating behavior (dietary restraint, disinhibition and hunger) were correlated positively. The HLOC- Chance and hunger was correlated positively. But HLOC-Chance and other eating behavior factors (dietary restraint & disinhibition) were not correlated in the level of statistical significances. The HLOC-External and eating behavior (dietary restraint, disinhibition and hunger) were correlated positively. 4. There was not a significant difference in HLOC depending on the existence of an obese sibling. There were significant differences in HLOC-Internal and HLOC- External depending on the evaluation of one's body figure. 5. There were significant differences in disinhibition and hunger depending on the existence of obese sibling. Also, there were significant difference in dietary restraint according to self perception of who is obese or not (t=3.342, p=.001). This study has shown a correlation between HLOC and eating behavior. As a result of these findings, clinical and school nurses should be involved in management and counselling obese girls concerning individual health locus of control and eating behavior.

이 연구의 목적은 전통적으로 남성 주도적인 전문직 진출을 희망하는 여대생(이 연구에서는 법률가 및 의사직, 이하 비 전통적인 여성이라 부름)과 전통적으로 여성 주도적인 전문직 진출을 준비중인 여대생 (이 연구에서는 교사 및 간호사직, 이하 전통적으로 여성 이라 부름)을 구분 할수 있는 개인의 성격 및 가족환경의 특성을 검토하는 것이었다. 남성 주도적인 전문직에 진출을 준비하거나 그 분야에 종사하는 여성들의 특성에 대한 연구가 많이 발표되었으나 그 특징들의 중요성이 상대적으로 얼마나 비중이 있는지는 연구되어 있지 않다. 발단론적 환경이론(Developmental-Contextualism)과 직업 발달에 대한 역동적 상호관계 모델(Dynamic Interaction Model)이 본 연구의 이론적 체계를 이루고 있다. 이 연구에 포함성의 위치, 심리적 남성특성, 출신가정의 사회경제수준, 그리고 부모의 뒷받침과 이해였다. ANOVA 결과에 의하면 비전통적인 여성들이 자아존중감, 학교성적 성취도, 내적 통제성, 심리적 남성특성, 그리고 출신가정의 사회경제수준 면에서 전통적인 여성에 비해 훨씬 높은 수준을 나타내었다. 단계적 분별 분석 (Stepwise Discriminant Analysis) 결과에 따르면, 심리적 남성 특성, 내적 통제성, 학교성적 성취도, 그리고 출신가정의 사회경제수준이 위 두집단의 여성들을 분별하는 가장 뛰어난 특성들이었으며 전체 표본의 76.99%가 이 요인들에 의해 정확하게 분류되었다. 이 연구의 결과를 토대로 볼 때, 역동적 상호관계모델은 여성의 직업발달을 연구하는데 있어서 이론정립과 검사에 유효한 도구로 보이며, 이 연구에 포함한 변수들은 비 전통적인 여성들의 특성을 정확하게 묘사하는데 상당한 공헌을 하고 있었다. 마지막으로, 비전통적인 여성들의 직업발달을 연구하는데 있어서 "능력특성군(Competency-related traits)"의 변수들을 좀 더 정확하게 분류할 필요가 있으며, 이 변수들과 여성의 직업발달의 관계를 자세히 연구할 필요가 있다고 본다.요가 있다고 본다.

세계 해양환경의 보전을 위하여 설립된 UN 기구인 국제해사기구(IMO)에서는 해양환경 오염물질 등에 대한 규제강화를 위하여 최근 새로운 해양환경협약의 채택 및 발효를 강력히 추진해 오고 있다. IMO의 국제협약은 선박이라는 효과적인 제어수단을 통하여 가장 강력한 통제력을 갖는 협약으로 세계 모든 해양국의 해양환경에 관한 국제법의 성격을 띄고 있다. 구속력이 강력한 만큼 변화되는 국제협약에 의해 새롭게 창출되는 해양환경시장의 규모가 엄청나므로 당사국들이 서로 자국의 이익을 위해 올인하는 전형적인 그린라운드의 양상을 띄고 있는 현실이다. 우리나라는 국제해사기구의 A그룹 이사국이며 아울러 세계 제일의 조선대국, 또한 세계 6위의 해양대국으로서의 국제적인 위상을 감안할 때 해양환경 보호를 위하여 현재 발효되고 추진 중에 있는 협약에 대한 연구와 효과적 대처를 하여야 함은 물론 우리나라 조선, 해양산업이 보호되고 나아가 이익이 창출될 수 있는 방향으로 모든 국제협약이 이루어지게 노력해야할 것이다. 이 논문은 해양관련 환경규제 협약인 Marpol 73/78 협약, 선박의 유해방오도료 사용규제협약, 평형수 배출규제협약, 선박으로부터 오수에 의한 오염방지를 위한 협약, 대기오염방지협약 등의 주요 현안을 파악하고 분석하여 이에 따른 현실적인 대응책을 제시하고자 한다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore the relationship among health belief. health locus of control and patients sick-role behavior compliance of diabetic mellitus patients visiting public health center. Method: The subjects of this study were 193 of the diabetic patients who were visiting 4 Public Health Center in B city. The instrument used for measuring health belief was Park's(1985). for health locus of control was Wallston. et al's(1978) and for sick-role behavior compliance was Park's(1984). The data were collected with structured questionnaires; total 58 items contained about health belief. health locus of control and sick-role behavior compliance from 1st to 31st July. 2001. The data was analyzed by the SPSS/PC programs using t-test. Pearson's correlation coefficient. ANOVA and Scheffe-test. Result: The average score of the health belief was $57.99\pm9.45$ health locus of control was $66.83\pm9.48$ and sick-role behavior compliance was $42.81\pm7.00$. Statistically significant factors influencing the health belief among social demographic characteristics were family number(F=3.818. p=0.024), monthly income(F=5.153, p=0.002), time of diagnosis(F=3.937. p=0.002) and difficult to control disease(F=5.803. p=0.000). The significant factors influencing the health locus of control were marital status(F=4.669. p=0.010). Also significant factors influencing the sick-role behavior compliance were monthly incomes(F=5.245, p=0.000). the time of diagnosis(F=4.424. p=0.001) and admission to hospital with diabetes(F=9.031. p=0.000). There was negative mild correlation comparatively between health belief and sickrole behavior compliance(r=-0.142, p<0.05) but no correlation in sensitiveness/severity, barrier, benefit(p<0.05). There was no correlation between internal. external. chance health locus of control and sick-role behavior compliance (P>0.05). Conclusion: There was a negative weak relationship between health locus of control and patient's sick role behavior compliance. Therefore further study to investigate the relating factor of the sick role behavior compliance among above of middle aged diabetes mellitus patients is necessary.

This study was designed to explore the effectiveness of education to improve self-care of stroke patients with three types of charactor health locus of control and constitution. A total of 56 patients were selected by convenience sampling at one oriental hospital. The teaching of self-care was conducted by the researcher. The self-care performance was measured for 10 days. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA and Scheffe method as post hoc test. The results of this study are as follows : 1. The self-care performance by patients' characteristics : Age and education had impact on the self-care performance. The level of self-care performance of young and high educated patients was high, gender, religion, occupation, monthly income, and the paralyzed side, however, didn't have influence on the self-care performance. 2. The self-care performance of patients with three types of constitution : There was no statistical significance on the self-care performance of patients group by constitution. However, average score of self-care performance of patients with So-Um was high. 3. The self-care performance of patients with three types of health locus of control : There was no statistical significance on self-care performance of patient group by health locus of control. 4. The correlation between the constitution and the health locus of control : There was no statistical significance on the introverted and chance health locus of control of patients with three types of constitution. However, there was a statistically significant relationship between the powerful others health locus of control and So-Yang. Even though there was no statistically significant self-care performance of patients with So-Um, there was a clinical significance on the high score of self-care performance of patients with So-Um as compared with the self-care performance of the patients. The health locus of control didn't have influence on the self-care performance of patients. There was a statistically significant relationship between the powerful others health locus of control and So-Yang. Therefore, this study suggest the need to develop the nursing intervention to improve the self-care of stroke patients with the powerful others health locus of control and So-Yang, Furthermore, the longitudinal research is needed to determine the effectiveness of training to imp
