Objectives: This study was performed to understand pregnancy, delivery, and infant rearing knowledge and educational need of marriage immigrant women to be utilized as a basic data for developing a suitable educational program. Methods: The subject of the study was composed of one hundred twenty two married immigrant women who live in South Korea. The method used in determining the population was the convenience sampling method. The data were gathered by means of personal interviews using questionnaires. Results: The mean score of pregnancy and delivery knowledge was 3.35, educational need was 3.64 out of 5, and infant rearing knowledge was 3.16, educational need was 3.66 out of 5. The pregnancy and delivery knowledge of the subject showed significant differences based on their present residential location and presence of children and their educational need varies according to their country of origin. The infant rearing knowledge on the other hand, showed notable differences according to presence of children while homeland and existence of children were the two major factors that greatly influenced the significant variation for educational need. Conclusions: The score of pregnancy, delivery and infant educational need were higher than knowledge. The score of pregnancy, delivery, and infant rearing educational need garnered similar results. Thus it is suggested that further researches should be conducted for the development, application, and verification of pregnancy, delivery, and infant rearing education programs that consider knowledge and educational need of immigrant married women in South Korea.

우리나라 여성들에게 산부인과는 가까이하기에 너무 먼 곳이다. 그런데 해마다 여성 질환이 늘고 발병 연렁이 점점 낮이지는 추세다. 임신과 출산뿐만 아니라, 여성의 건강을 위해서 정기적인 산부인과 검진은 선택이 아닌 필수다.

In order to clearly define and understand an essential meaning on a growing number of immigrant women with an experience of being in pregnancy and childbirth, who married to men living in rural community in Korea, our study has been carried out with a phenomenological research method. Basic information collection was implemented by doing multiple in-depth interviews in being recorded with nine immigrant women married to the men, and also analyzed by the phenomenological method of Colaizzi. As the result of the study, the switchover in their life on the course to adaptation or transition to Korean life with experience of being pregnant and delivery generally classified into up to four categories and nine subjects. The four categories come out with "expectation of unknown world/country", "being experienced of new challenge", "feeling happiness going through anguish of hear" and "expectation/hope with her giving birth to a baby-transition in her life". Thus, the result of this study is intended to understand their difficulties likely caused or felt in adaptation to Korea life and culture, and to provide solutions or information of a program for their being actively adapted that may help get them easily assimilated into Korean life and culture.

임신은 HIV의 치료를 연기하는 이유가 되지 않으나 HIV감염 임신 여성은 임신 중, 진통 중, 분만 시, 모유 수유 시 어느 시기라도 바이러스를 태아에 전파할 수 있다. 만약 예방약을 복용하지 않고 모유수유를 한다면 아이에게 감염될 기회는 20-45%가 될 것이다. 모유수유를 하지 않고 치료한다면 전파의 위험성을 2% 이하로 낮출 수 있으며 지도부딘 한 가지 약제의 투여로도 위험성을 반 이상 줄일 수 있다. 그러므로 가임기의 HIV감염인은 임신하기 전부터 감염내과 의사와 산부인과 의사의 긴밀한 협조가 필요하다

비만 특히 복부비만은 여성의 임신 및 출산에 많은 악영향을 미친다. 비만이 가임력에 영향을 미치는 기전은 명확히 밝혀지지는 않았지만, functional hyperandrogenism과 insulin resistance에 수반된 hyperinsulinemia가 중요한 역할을 하리라 여겨진다. 또한 지방조직은 활발하게 대사 작용이 일어나는 장소로서 steroid hormone을 modification 시키고, 여러 가지 adipokine들을 분비시키는데 이런 지방조직의 분비물들은 생식계에 영향을 미친다. 비만이 생식계에 미치는 영향은 간략히 다음 표와 같이 정리할 수 있다 (Table 3). 특히 PCOS 환자에서 비만은 hyperinsulinemia에 의한 난소의 steroidogenesis 증가와 SHBG의 감소에 연관되어 hyperandrogenism 과 무배란의 원인으로 작용한다. 비만은 약물에 의한 배란유도 및 체외수정의 성공률 또한 떨어뜨리며， 임신이 되더라도 자연 유산, 조산, 임신성 당뇨, 임신성 고혈압 등의 위험은 높인다. 이와 같이 최근 급격히 증가하는 비만은 여성의 건강 특히 생식계에 많은 문제를 야기시킨다. 특히 청소년기의 비만은 성인이 된 뒤 PCOS로 발전하여 불임, 심혈관 질환 등과 같은 많은 합병증을 일으킬 수 있으므로 세심한 주의를 기울여야 하겠다.

In this study, radiation workers who work in nuclear medicine department were analyzed to find the cause of differences of radiation exposure from General Characteristic, Knowledge, Recognition and Conduct, especially females working on nuclear medicine radiation, in order to pave the way for positive defense against radiation exposure. The subjects were 106 radiation workers who were divided into two groups of sixty-four males and forty-two females answered questions about their General Characteristic, Knowledge, Recognition, Conduct, and radiation exposure dose which was measured by TLD (Thermo Luminescence Dosimeter). The results of the analysis revealed that as the higher score of knowledge and conduct was shown, the radiation exposure decreased in female groups, and as the higher score of conduct was shown, the radiation exposure decreased in male groups. In the correlation analysis of female groups, the non-experienced in pregnancy showed decreasing amount of radiation exposure as the score of knowledge and conduct was higher and the experienced in pregnancy showed decreasing amount of radiation exposure as the score of recognition and conduct was higher. In the regression analysis on related factors of radiation exposure dose of nuclear medicine radiation workers, the gender caused the meaningful result and the amount of radiation exposure of female groups compared to male groups. In the regression analysis on related factors of radiation exposure dose of female groups, the factor of conduct showed a meaningful result and the amount of radiation exposure of the experienced in pregnancy was lower compared to the non-experienced. The conclusion of this study revealed that radiation exposure of female groups was lower than that of male groups. Therefore, male groups need to more actively defend themselves against radiation exposure. Among the female groups, the experienced in pregnancy who have an active defense tendency showed a lower radiation exposure. Thus, those who have never been pregnant need to have a more active defensive conduct for the future possibility of pregnancy.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between fatigue, sleep disturbance, and gestational stress in women during late stage of pregnancy. Methods: This study was conducted with 113 healthy pregnant women at gestational age greater than 27 weeks who were registered at community health centers and received prenatal care. A structured questionnaire regarding fatigue, sleep disturbance, and gestational stress was used. The data was analyzed using a t-test, an ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: The subjects with unplanned pregnancies and irregular exercise patterns showed a higher level of fatigue than those with planned pregnancies and regular exercise patterns. Pregnant women with caffeine intake manifested higher levels of gestational stress and sleep disturbance than those without. The levels of sleep disturbance and gestational stress increased as the fatigue levels increased. The fatigue levels increased with increased levels of sleep disturbance. Conclusion: Planned pregnancy, regular exercise patterns, and caffeine intake were related with fatigue, sleep disturbance, and gestational stress in women during late stages of pregnancy. Fatigue, sleep disturbance, and gestational stress had close associations to each other. In the future, such results should guide development of nursing intervention programs for women in late stages of pregnancy.

자궁경부 무력증은 여러 원인으로 자궁경부가 약해져, 출산 때까지 튼튼하게 버텨 주어야 할 자궁경부가 임신 4~5개월 쯤에 스르르 열리면서 유산되어 버리는 경우이다. 자궁은 몸체와 경부로 구성되는데, 임신이 진행되어 자궁이 커져가게 되면 자궁경부에는 태아와 양수를 포함한 물리적인 힘이 부과된다. 그 엄청난 힘을 자궁경부는 대부분의 경우 잘 견디어서, 40주까지 안전하게 엄마의 자궁 안에서 애기를 잘 자라게 한다. 그러나 자궁경부가 약해져서 임신 중반기 이후부터 커져가는 부담을 견딜 수 없는 경우, 자궁경부가 열려서 조산이 된다. 임신 중반기 조산의 가장 흔한 원인이 이러한 자궁경부 무력증이다. 만약 임신 중반기에 조산을 한 경력이 있다면, 자궁경부 무력증에 대해 의심을 해 보고 반드시 다음 임신을 위하여 산부인과 의사의 상담을 받아야 하며, 임신이 되면 정밀하게 진단해야 한다. 진단이 확실한 경우 반드시 자궁경관봉축술을 받아야 한다. 수술의 효과는 아주 좋다. 경부무력증은 선천적으로 자궁 자체가 약한 경우도 있지만, 대부분은 과거 임신중절 수술이 원인으로 알려져 있다. 그리고 자궁경부암의 진단과 치료를 위하여 시행하는 원추절개수술도 원인이 될 수 있다.
