We attempted to determine how adolescents' general characteristics, appearance stress, and anxiety affect adolescents' body image distortion using data from the 16th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey. We confirmed Body image distortion in 38.2% of the subjects, and the results of underestimated body image in 19.9% and overestimation in 18.3%. Appearance stress and anxiety were found to have an effect in both underestimate and overestimate groups. We confirmed that demographic characteristics such as gender, economic level, and academic level influence different aspects in the underestimation and overestimation groups. Therefore, we suggested that comprehensive evaluation by subdividing the subjective perception of adolescents' weight into cases of overestimation and underestimation will be an important factor in determining mental health and weight control behavior in the future.

In this paper, We propose the purpose the examine the physical factors that influence the success rate during the endotracheal intubation and to provide the basic data for effective intubation success. The subject of this study was 42 students in emergency rescue department who had completed the BLS Health Care-provider and a specialized airway maintenance course dealing with endotracheal intubation and it is a similar experimental study after the non-equivalence single group. For data analysis, SPSS 23.0 Version was used. The study methods were measuring the grip fotce of subjects, the angle of arm during intubation tube, distance from manikin, palm length, etc. The results showed that there was a correlation between the time of successful endotracheal intubation and the physical characteristics. In particular, when performing endotracheal intubation, it was related to the angle of the arm and the execution time of the performer, and the narrower the angle of the arm, the shorter the execution time. The results of this study suggest that successful endotracheal intubation could be implemented if the operator tried to reduce the angle of the arm when performing endotracheal intubation, and through further research on various job groups, identify the possibility of clinical use will be necessary.
