Purpose: This study examined the development and performance of the school health promotion policy guideline that is applicable to Korean school health. Methods: 1. The WHO's guideline was translated into Korean and modified by school health experts 2. A questionnaire was conducted to assess the performance of school health policy on 207 nurses in elementary schools in Seoul and Cheonbuk. Result: The Korean version of the school health promotion policy guidelines were developed including 9 components and 36 checkpoints. Compared to that of WHO, the component 'school nursing teacher' was added and three components were eliminated: 'equitable access to school resources', 'control of helminth', and 'sun protection policy'. The performance degree of first-aid, closure of school in a calamity, and control of HIV/AIDS was very low. The performance degree of a healthy diet, and regular physical examination was quite high. This study was the first that developed the school health promotion policy guideline and examined the performance. Further research is needed to validate the guidelines developed by this study.

2008년부터 화성시에서는 담배연기 없는 맑은 화성 만들기 사업에 착수하였다. 이는 흡연으로 인한 사망 및 질환 유병의 감소, 간접흡연에의 노출, 감소 개인행위 통제를 위한 역량 강화, 지역사회 협력체계 구축 및 지원적 환경의 조성을 목적으로 하고 있다. 포괄적 흡연통제프로그램 모델을 기반으로 하여 각기 적합한 환경을 위한 수행전략과 실행계획을 수립하였다 ; 담배연기 없는 환경조성, 홍보 및 캠페인, 금연클리닉을 통한 교육, 상담의 금연프로그램 운영, 모니터링과 평가, 사업관리를 위한 지침과 교육 등. 2008년 1년 동안 총 1714명이 금연클리닉을 방문하였으며, 이중 90%는 금연시도 4주간, 57%는 6개월 동안 금연상태를 유지하였다. 6개월 동안 금연상태를 유지한 대상 중 67%는 50세 이하 연령이었으며, 6개월 동안 금연상태를 유지한 대상 중 28%에게는 행동수정요법을 적용하였다. 금연환경 조성을 위해 지역사회내 건물과 시설을 모니터링하였으며, 경로당, 유치원, 초등학교, 문화재 등과 같은 특정 환경에 초점을 맞춘 교육과 관리를 수행하였다. 또한 2009년 사업추진방향설정을 위해 지역사회주민들 대상으로 하는 금연정책에 대한 전화조사를 실시하였다. 건강한 도시를 구축하기 위해서는 모든 지역사회구성원을 대상으로 하는 다양하고 효과적인 프로그램을 지속적으로 추진하는 것이 필요하다. 특히 학생, 가족, 학교, 지역사회와 정부간의 담배 없는 화성을 만들기 위한 협력적 관계 구축이 무엇보다 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 향후 보다 나은 사업추진을 위해 현상황에 대한 분석을 토대로 적절한 전략을 개발하는 것이 필요하다.

Sodium is a major component that maintains homeostasis and physiological state in body. It is an essential mineral that the body cannot produce for itself, so it must be supplied from food. On the other hand, overindulgence is one cause of hypertension, stroke, stomach cancer, osteoporosis and kidney disease. The purpose of this study was to monitor sodium content in meals of school foodservice. In this study, 801 samples (main/side dishes) were collected from 8 school foodservice in Busan and Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea. Samples were classified into 21 food items, which were cooked rices, cooked rice with seasoning, noodles, cooked gruels, soups, stews, tang and chon-gol, stir-fried foods, fried foods, pan-fried foods, hard-boiled foods, roasted foods, steamed foods, seasoned vegetables, preserved foods, kimchis, sauces, fruits, breads and snacks, beverages, and dairy products. The samples were analyzed by AAS (atomic absorption spectrometry) after microwave digestion. The sodium content of sauces (1459 mg/100 g) and preserved foods (1165 mg/100 g) was higher than those of other dishes. Aside from them, sodium contents of roasted foods (894 mg/100 g), hard-boiled foods (786 mg/100 g) and kimchis (737 mg/100 g) were relatively higher than the others. Sodium intakes from meals of school foodservice were calculated by multiplying food intakes by sodium contents. The average sodium intakes from one serving of school foodservice were 605 mg for younger boys, 572 mg for younger girls, 774 mg for older boys, 730 mg for older girls in elementary school. Boys in middle school took in 1423 mg Na whereas girls consumed 1063 mg Na in middle school. Results from this study can be useful for establishing database of sodium contents and intake in meals of school foodservice. The database will be helpful for providing information on managing food for children.
