성폭력은 강간, 강제 추행, 성희롱, 도촬 등 상대방의 의사에 반하여 성적 자기 결정권을 침해하는 모든 신체적 정신적 폭력을 말한다. 남성이 가해자이고 여성이 피해자인 경우가 많은 범죄 행위 중 하나이다. 그 중에서 성폭력의 하나인 성추행은 강제추행을 뜻한다. 강제추행이 성희롱과 다른 것은 '폭행이나 협박'을 수단으로 '추행'하는 것이다. 성추행은 성욕의 자극, 흥분을 목적으로 일반인의 성적 수치, 혐오의 감정을 느끼게 하는 일체의 행위(키스를 하거나 상대의 성기를 만지는 행위 등)로, 강제추행은 이러한 추행 행위 시 폭행 또는 협박과 같은 강제력이 사용되는 경우를 말한다. 본 논문에서는 엘리베이터 내에서 이러한 여성의 성 추행 사건을 컬러 히스토그램을 통하여 추출하도록 한다.

연구 목적: 1980년대 이후 미국 여성들의 유방암 조기 진단을 위한 방사선 검진율은 급속히 증가하였음에도 불구하고 유색 인종의 여성들은 여전히 조기 검진의 혜택을 받지 못하고 있다. 유색인종 여성들의 낮은 검진율을 설명하기 위해 여러 건강행위이론을 이용한 관련 요인들이 연구되어 왔다. 이 논문은 미국 보건 의료관련 연구에서 가장 많이 쓰이는 다섯 건강행위 이론을 유색 인종 여성, 특히 한국 이민 여성들의 유방암 조기검진 이행에 적용하기 위해 사회문화적 적합성을 평가하기 위해 고안되었다. 연구 방법: 네 종류의 데이터 베이스(CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts)를 이용한 심층적 문헌 고찰을 통해 각각의 이론으로 유방암 조기 검진을 설명한 연구들을 모두 분석하였다. 연구 결과: 각 이론들의 배경, 주요 요인, 그리고 유색인종의 유방암 조기 검진에서의 적용 연구 등을 분석하였다. 결론: 서양 문화권 속에서 개발된 각 이론들이 한국적 정서와 행동을 설명하는데 명확한 한계가 있으며 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해서는 기존의 이론들을 면밀하게 재분석하여 한국적 특성을 담아낼 수 있는 새로운 이론의 도출이 요구된다.

This study is to evaluate the accuracy of a human papillomavirus(HVP) vaccination behavior model based on the health belief model. The subjects were 285 mothers of adolescent daughters and the data was collected from June to September, 2017. The data were analyzed using SPSS, AMOS programs. The results, perceived benefits had effects on the vaccinating behavior by completely mediating the intention while the perceived barriers had effects on the vaccinating behavior by partially mediating the intention. The vaccination intention was shown to be an important variable for predicting of vaccination behaviors while the perceived barrier was revealed to be the most influential factor for vaccination behaviors. These results could contribute to raise the understanding about HVP vaccination processes in the mothers of adolescent daughters and to develop strategies to enhance the HVP vaccination rate.

This study examined the reproductive health-related experiences of North Korean women defectors and their sexual knowledge, sexual attitudes, and reproductive health promotion behavior. Convergent parallel mixed methods were used. From April to July 2020, 8 North Korean women defectors in Seoul metropolitan area were recruited by snowball sampling. In addition, 175 participants in the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungcheong, and Gyeongsang Province were recruited. Content analysis was conducted to analyze qualitative data, and the SPSS 23.0 program was used. Three themes were derived: scared of sex due to ignorance', 'the embarrassing and annoying sex only for duty', and had to manage myself for sex under the limited situation.'. The subject's sexual knowledge was higher in the older and married groups, and the sexual attitude was more liberal in the younger group. Reproductive health promotion behavior was more active in the high economic level, and sexual knowledge and sexual attitude showed a positive correlation. Therefore, it is necessary to provide support systems and resources from the community to encourage reproductive health promotion activities. In addition, in terms of humanitarian aid, prioritization of the reproductive health of North Korean women is required.

Background: Strategically improving health-related quality of life (HRQOL) should be discussed among overweight middle-aged women who are vulnerable to low HRQOL. We examined firstly if overweight middle-aged women would have significantly lower levels of HRQOL and health-promoting behaviors than normal-weight middle-aged women, and to examine secondly if health-promoting behaviors would be significantly associated with generic and obesity-specific HRQOLs within the overweight middle-aged women. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, comparative study. Participants were 119 women aged 30-49 years who were recruited from a community in Seoul, South Korea; 63 women for the overweight group who were recruited from a baseline sample of the Community-Based Heart and Weight Management Trial, while 56 for the normal-weight group who were recruited separetely. Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II), World Health Organization Quality of Life-brief version (WHOQOL-BREF) of a generic HRQOL measure, and Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite (IWQOL-Lite) of an obesity-specific HRQOL measure were used. Results: Compared to the normal-weight group, the overweight group showed significantly lower scores of total WHOQOL-BREF as well as some HPLP II subscales including stress management (P=0.029). Among the HPLP II subscales, stress management was significantly and positively associated with total WHOQOL-BREF (${\beta}=1.58$, P=0.003) and self-esteem IWQOL-Lite (${\beta}=11.58$, P=0.034) among the overweight group. Conclusions: Among middle-aged overweight women, low levels of health-promoting behavior for stress management were shown, which should be strategically increased for improving their generic and obesity-specific HRQOLs.

This study contributes to understanding women's labor market behavior by focusing on a particular set of labor force transitions - labor force withdrawal and entry during the period surrounding the first birth of a child. In particular, this study provides a dynamic analyses, using longitudinal data and event history analysis, to conceptualize labor force behaviors in a straightforward way. The main research question addresses which factors increase or decrease the hazard rates of leaving and entering the labor market. This study used piecewise Gompertz model, following the guide of the non-parametric analysis on the hazard rates, which allowed relatively detailed description on the distribution of timing of leave and entry to the labor market as parameters of interest. The results show that preferences and structural variables, as well as economic considerations, are very important factors to explain the labor market behavior of women in the period surrounding childbirth.

The aim of this study is to compare the differences in health promotion behaviors by the use of complementary alternative therapy(CAT) in elderly women with osteoarthritis. A total of 621 elderly women with osteoarthritis from public health centers and their branches at a city of C state were enrolled. This study analyzed the frequency and percentage of complementary alternative therapy utilization; a Chi-square test was used for utilization analysis according to subjects' general characteristics and disease features. Degree of health promotion behaviors according to CAT utilization was analyzed by a t-test and ANOVA. The study found that the CAT utilization rate for the total of 621 people was 61.7 %. For health promotion behaviors according to CAT utilization, statistically significant differences were found in exercise (p<0.001), health responsibility (p<0.001) and self-realization (p=0.016) from the domains. This study demonstrated the differences of health promotion behaviors based on CAT utilization. Due to the results of this study it is notable to mention that counseling, instruction for CAT utilization, and strategy development for health promotion are necessary for elderly women with osteoarthritis.
