Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the job awareness of dental hygiene students about a dental hygienist, what duties they wanted to do as dental hygienists, their awareness of college courses related to the job performance of dental hygienists and whether they viewed the courses as what's most widely utilized for the clinical job performance of dental hygienists. It's ultimately meant to help provide good education for dental hygiene students to have the right understanding of dental hygienists and bolster their professionalism. Methods : The subjects in this study were 301 dental hygiene students in four different colleges located in the metropolitan area. A survey was conducted to find out their satisfaction level with the department of dental hygiene, personal characteristics, awareness of college courses and awareness of the duties of dental hygienists. Results : The group of students who deemed the life span of the dental hygienist occupation to be long put more significance on the college courses that should focus on job performance. As for the relationship between their personal characteristics and awareness of the college courses, their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the department and their ideas on the life span of the occupation made significant differences to that. The group of students who considered the life span of the occupation to be longer thought that the college courses would be more linked to the duties of dental hygienists and their job performance and should be given more weight, and there were significant differences among them in their view of the life span of the occupation and awareness of the college courses that should be given more weight(p<.05). Their view of how much the college courses would be linked to the duties of dental hygienists had a statistically significant correlation to that of the college courses that should focus on the clinical job performance of dental hygienists. Conclusions : The above-mentioned findings suggest that as part of the regular curriculum, the kind of education that aims at boosting the professionalism and job performance of dental hygienists as experts should be provided for dental hygiene students to build the right values as professional dental hygienists.

The collected questionnaire was 297, but the final 250 questionnaire were decided as a target except for the trustless ones. This analysis was extracted using SPSS(SPSS 12.0 for windows, SPSS Inc, Chicago, USA). Results : 1. Preventive treatment of dental hygienist was shown as this order - Educational needs 4.25, Importance 4.12, Usefulness 4.09, Perform 3.42. Job satisfaction was reached the moderate level. 2. Analysis of preventive treatment of hygienist was shown as this order - Basic brushing education 4.72 was ranked the highest, Taking patient history and Incremental dental health care 4.58 was held the second place. Dental caries activity tests 3.30 was shown the lowest figures. Response of preventive treatment conducting was like this order - Taking patient history 4.30, Dental prophylaxis 4.28, Basic brushing education 4.11, Incremental dental health care 4.04. Dental caries activity tests 2.05 was shown the lowest figures. 3. General characteristics in behavior of preventive treatment was resulted in this case that the respondents who have worked for less one year in current job than the ones who have worked for more than five years was shown such a low level, this was taken as a meaningful difference.(p=0.008) 4. It was shown that the higher fulfillment of preventive treatment(${\beta}$=0.340, p<0.001) and the greater earnings(${\beta}$=0.194, p=0.001) and usefulness of preventive treatment(${\beta}$=0.130, p=0.042), the higher job satisfaction. Conclusions : Considering these results, environment where the hygienists can concentrate on preventive treatment which is their proper job should be built up as soon as possible. And through this environment, the atmosphere where hygienists, as oral health professionals, can play a role to improve the oral health of the people by boosting job satisfaction should be created. Also It is thought that an institutional, actual improvement-changing the social awareness towards hygienists and dentists, the recognition of scope of the hygienists' work - should be established urgently.

Purpose: The plan proposed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2012 did not reflect the position of nurses and focused only on how to increase the number of nurses. There is a need for coming up with a specific and viable alternative plan considering the qualitative aspect of nursing, delegation of nursing tasks, the in-death analysis of the reasons for leaving the nursing profession, and the legal standards based on varying nursing tasks. Methods: Drawing on a review of existing literature, this report was written to examine policy directions and the factors that influence the institutional environment that regulates the supply and demand of the nursing workforce in Korea. Results: Implementing the government's plan for introducing a new type of nurse, the registered practical nurse, which generally requires a two-year associate's degree, must be reconsidered. Also, a concrete plan to make use of unemployed nurses and to close the salary gap between nurses working at hospitals in cities and those working at hospitals in rural areas must be prepared. Furthermore, there is a need for introducing a new rating system aimed at boosting the quality of nursing care in small-and medium-sized hospitals, thereby increasing the number of nursing professionals who provide high quality care. Conclusion: In preparation for expected poor quality of care and looming unemployment crisis due to the increase in the number of nursing professionals, a practical and concrete plan for the supply and demand of the nursing workforce should be made. The Korean Nurses Association should mount a profession-wide campaign to make the government formulate a new and viable policy on the supply and demand of the nursing workforce.

조사결과의 신속성이 요구되는 선거여론조사의 특성상 짧은 시간에 유권자들의 의견을 파악할 수 있고 저렴한 조사비용이라는 장점 때문에 낮은 응답률이라는 심각한 결함에도 불구하고 대부분 선거여론조사는 전화조사로 이루어진다. 현재 국내에서 실시되는 많은 선거여론조사는 연령별, 성별, 지역별 인구수 또는 유권자수에 비례하여 할당된 수만큼 조사하는 방식을 취하고 있다. 무응답이 발생하여 초기에 할당된 수만큼 조사가 이루어지지 않은 경우, 응답자들의 가중치를 조정하여 추정하는 방법을 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 무응답이 존재하는 경우, 현재 국내 여론조사에서 사용하는 추정량의 편의와 분산의 편의를 수리적으로 도출하였다. 이 편의는 응답집단과 무응답집단 간의 의사 차이와 무응답률의 크기에 비례한다. 또, 2012년 대선 선거여론 조사 자료를 기초로 전화 선거여론조사에서의 응답률을 산출하였는데, 평균 약 14.4%에 불과하였다. 한편, 자체적으로 실시한 '전화 선거여론조사에 대한 의식조사'에서, 응답자들이 전화 선거여론조사에 응답하지 않는 가장 큰 이유로 "귀찮아서"를 가장 많이 선택하였고, 여론조사 응답률이 가장 낮은 20대가 가장 많이 선택한 이유도 "귀찮아서"였다. 따라서 응답률을 높이기 위해서는 인센티브를 지급하는 등 조사대상자들의 응답 동기를 높이기 위한 보다 적극적인 노력이 필요하다.

Purpose: To analyze prognostic factors for locoregional recurrence (LRR), distant metastasis (DM), and overall survival (OS) in cervical cancer patients who underwent radical hysterectomy followed by postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in a single institute. Materials and Methods: Clinicopathologic data of 135 patients with clinical stage IA2 to IIA2 cervical cancer treated with PORT from 2001 to 2012 were reviewed, retrospectively. Postoperative parametrial resection margin (PRM) and vaginal resection margin (VRM) were investigated separately. The median treatment dosage of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to the whole pelvis was 50.4 Gy in 1.8 Gy/fraction. High-dose-rate vaginal brachytherapy after EBRT was given to patients with positive or close VRMs. Concurrent platinum-based chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) was administered to 73 patients with positive resection margin, lymph node (LN) metastasis, or direct extension of parametrium. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used for analyzing LRR, DM, and OS; Cox regression was applied to analyze prognostic factors. Results: The 5-year disease-free survival was 79% and 5-year OS was 91%. In univariate analysis, positive or close PRM, LN metastasis, direct extension of parametrium, lymphovascular invasion, histology of adenocarcinoma, and chemotherapy were related with more DM and poor OS. In multivariate analysis, PRM and LN metastasis remained independent prognostic factors for OS. Conclusion: PORT after radical hysterectomy in uterine cervical cancer showed excellent OS in this study. Positive or close PRM after radical hysterectomy in uterine cervical cancer correlates with poor prognosis even with CCRT. Therefore, additional treatments to improve local control such as radiation boosting need to be considered.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to verify the impact of the empowerment of dental personnels as one of variables affecting the performance of dental institutions and to seek ways of boosting their organizational productivity. Methods : The subjects in this study were dental personnels who worked in dental institutions. After three investigators were trained, a pilot survey was conducted from October 20 to November 20, 2009, and the questionnaire used in the pilot survey was finalized. The collected data were analyzed with a SPSS(Statistical Package for the Social Science) WIN 12.0 program. The findings of the study were as follows: Results: 1. The dental personnels investigated got 3.98 in meaningfulness, one of the empowerment factors. They found a meaning in their job when they performed it. 2. The dental personnels who were older were more excellent in self- determination and influence, and age made a significant difference to their empowerment. 3. The dental personnels who were better educated were more superior in terms of empowerment, and academic credential made a significant difference to their empowerment factors was statistically. 4. The dental personnels whose yearly salary was larger were more which were the factors of empowerment of each factor was statistically significant. 5. Dental health agency workers less than three years accounted for most of 152 people were working longer duration of empowerment as a whole was that each of the factor scores. Empowerment of each factor was statistically significant. 6. The dental hygienists made up the largest group among the dental institution employees, and the kind of occupation made a significant difference to meaningfulness, competency and influence, which were the factors of empowerment. 7. The greatest group of the dental personnels worked in dental clinics, and the dental hospital employees surpassed the dental clinic employees in competency, self-determination and influence. There was a significant difference in the influence factor according to the type of dental institutions. Conclusions : Thus, the dental personnels were more aware of the meaningfulness factor when their perception of the job-related empowerment was checked, and it indicated that most of them attached importance to meaningfulness during their job performance. But just employees who worked in dental institutions located in particular regions were examined, the findings might not be generalizable. In the future, more extensive research should be implemented, and the sorts of programs that could stir up empowerment among dental institution employees or bolster organizational empowerment should be developed.

문화와 같은 소프트파워의 발견과 적극적인 활용을 통해 도시 재생과 지역경제 활성화를 실현하려는 다양한 전략들이 추진되고 있으나, 많은 경우 지역의 경험과 전문성 부족으로 인해 지역발전으로 충분히 연결되지 못하고 있다. 이 점에 착안해 본 연구는 다수의 지역문화자원 활용 사례연구를 대상으로 한 메타분석(Meta-analysis)과 전문가를 대상으로 한 계층화분석기법(Analytic Hierarchy Process)을 적용해 문화자원에 기반을 둔 지역발전전략에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 발견해 보았다. 분석결과, 총 61건의 선행연구들로 부터 278개의 직 간접 요인들을 추출하였고, 이들을 대표하는 핵심내용으로 통 폐합한 후 공통속성을 지닌 요인들을 재분류하는 과정을 거쳐 4개 범주(문화자원 발굴 및 활용, 제도적 기반 구축, 지역내부 역량 강화, 참여 및 네트워크 확대)에 모두 26개 중요 영향요인을 도출하였다. 또한 빈도 및 중요도 분석결과는 이들 범주 중 '문화자원 발굴 및 활용'과 관련된 요인들이 문화자원 활용을 통한 지역발전전략 추진과정과 결과에 상대적으로 더 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 이는 문화자원을 활용한 지역발전전략의 성공여부는 다양한 요인들의 복합적인 작용해 의해 결정되지만, 잠재력과 경쟁력을 지닌 문화자원의 분포와 함께, 그것을 개발하고 가치를 높일 수 있는 활용능력을 갖추는 일이 무엇보다 중요하다는 시사점을 준다. 본 연구는 다수 선행사례연구를 대상으로 영향요인 분석을 시도했다는 점에서 나름의 의미를 지닌다.
