Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of hypertension relevant nutrition knowledge on practices for prevention of hypertension in Chinese college students studying in South Korea. Methods: We conducted a survey of 276 Chinese students studying more than three months in Korean universities who were aged 19 and older about hypertension and sodium relevant nutrition knowledge, intake of salty processed food, hypertension prevention practices, and stages of behavior change for hypertension. Results: The average score on the questionnaire for hypertension relevant nutritional knowledge was 40.62 out of 50 points, and the average score for sodium relevant nutritional knowledge was 24 out of 30 points. Kimchi was the most frequently eaten salty processed food. The average score for hypertension prevention practices was 3.10 out of 5 points. The behavior change stages for prevention of hypertension were contemplation (47.1%), action (32.2%), and pre-contemplation (20.7%). The students received high scores on nutrition knowledge and showed significantly higher scores on the action stage than on pre-contemplation or contemplation. Nutritional knowledge of hypertension and sodium showed positive correlation with hypertension prevention practices, whereas negative correlation with salty processed food intake. Conclusion: Development of an education program for Chinese students in Korea on hypertension and sodium relevant nutritional knowledge is needed so that they can practice for prevention of hypertension.

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.

We analyzed the influence of living characteristics as environment related behavior by questionnaire survey analysis. Survey was conducted to 569 people living in Gimhae city, Gyongsangnam-do, Korea. By the results of correlation analysis, items with high levels of practice were related to legal regulations. However, group who are less interested in preserving the environment have lower performance in all aspects of their activities. In the relationship between social characteristics and environment related behavior, residents were generally aware of the practice of detached house dweller group rather than of apartment dweller. As the age increased, have more willing to practice. While the higher levels of education group do not make environment related behave better. However, it seemed that the student group's distinct characteristics was reflected in the education level. As this study, improvement of environmental awareness is needed to improve practice of environment related behavior rather than regal approach. Policy for environment related behavior is necessary to vary the methodology based on analysis of social characteristics, such as gender, residential type and education level rather than generalization.

This study aimed to develop a scale to measure physical health behaviors among social work clients using general services. The scale items were constructed based on literature review and FGI of social workers. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmative factor analysis affirmed the factor structure of Physical Health Behavior Scale with two sub-scales: Health Promotion Behavior Scale and Health Hindrance Behavior Scale. Promotion Scale had 7 factors and Hindrance Scale had 5 factors. Both sub-scales showed acceptable ranged goodness-of-fit for the model, and internal consistency test proved that the scale was reliable. The analyses of discriminant validity, convergent validity, and concurrent validity resulted significant validation. Based on those results, the developed Physical Health Behavior Scale were proved well-constructed, reliable and valid. The Scale will be utilized for both clients in general to check their own health related behaviors and social workers to adopt as a tool for assessment in order to perform an evidence based practice.

정보통신 기술의 발달로 정보윤리교육은 더 강조되고 있지만 청소년의 사이버 폭력, 저작권 침해 등 역기능 노출 현황은 전혀 줄어들고 있지 않다. 그 원인 중 하나는 "안다"는 도덕적 인지와 "실천한다"의 도덕적 행동이 불일치한 것으로 볼 수 있으며, 도덕적 인지가 도덕적 행동으로 이어지지 않는 문제점을 해결해야 한다. 또한 2015개정교육과정의 등장으로 SW교육의 중요성이 대두되었지만 여전히 교육 시수는 부족하여 정보윤리교육은 상대적으로 소홀해질 가능성이 높다. 이에 본 논문에서는 선행 연구들을 분석하여 실천력을 강화시킬 수 있는 전략들을 살펴보고 정보윤리의식과 컴퓨팅사고력을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있도록 교육용프로그래밍언어와 정보윤리교육을 연계하여 정보윤리 실천력을 강화시킬 수 있는 EPL기반 정보윤리 교육프로그램을 개발하였다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine if self-rated oral health differed according to self-reported oral health behaviors in Korean adolescents. Methods: The raw data of 'The 6th Youth Health Behavior Online Survey' carried out by the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention were analysed. Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Logistic regression analysis were used to assess the relationships between oral health behaviors and self-rated oral health (n=73,238). Results:Oral health behaviors had stronger influence on daily toothbrushing habits. In particular, participants who brushed their teeth in the morning and participants who brushed their teeth more than 3 times a day were more likely to have good self-rated oral (P<0.001). Conclusions: Korean adolescents with high self-rated oral health reported practicing good oral health behaviors. These results highlight the need for the further practicable oral health education programs.

The purpose of this study was to develop curriculum of the elementary, and secondary school home economics that integrates three systems of action and to prepare a plan for convergence education in home economics curriculum. To achieve this goal, the characteristics of elementary, secondary school dietary curriculum integrating three systems of action, the focus of development, core competencies, and goals were derived through the review of literature. In this study, we set up perennial and sub-practical problems and selected content elements. The contents system of the developed curriculum was modified and supplemented by examining the validity of experts, and the achievement standard of the middle school home economics dietary education curriculum was developed by integrating the three systems of action. The content system of the elementary, and secondary school home economics curriculum that integrated the three systems of action is centered on practical problems, and the perennial problem is 'What should we do to practice healthy dietary life?' There are five areas of this curriculum: 'health and diet', 'food planning', 'food purchase and management', 'cooking', and 'meal', and the scope of curriculum is repeatedly expanded to 'personal and family', and 'social'. The practical problems in the five areas are composed of 10 practical problems in the two dimensions (personal & family, and society), and the practical problems and contents elements are spiralled by applying the principle of integration. The contents of this curriculum were compared with the achievement standards and learning elements of the dietary life in the 2015 elementary school practical arts, middle and high school 'technology & home economics', and the 'home economics science' curriculum. The results showed that the developed curriculum encompassed additional content beyond all the content already included in the 2015 revised curriculum.
