Purpose: Korea is one of the most rapidly aging countries, accompanied by an increasing number of older adults with dementia. Certified-care-assistants are the primary care workers for these older adults. This cross-sectional descriptive study compared the factors influencing care behaviors among Korean and non-Korean certified-care-assistants in Korea. Methods: Participants, 113 Korean certified-care-assistants and 71 non-Korean certified-care-assistants, completed a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed to assess dementia knowledge, attitude and care behaviors toward older adults with dementia. To determine the differences in these two groups, t-test was used. A stepwise multiple regression was performed to identify factors related to care behavior. Results: Significant differences in dementia knowledge, attitude and care behavior toward older adults with dementia emerged between Korean and non-Korean certified-care-assistants. Factors influencing care behavior varied by group. Dementia knowledge and education level were the significant factors of care behaviors in Korean certified-care-assistants, whereas attitude toward older adults with dementia was the significant factor in non-Korean certified-care-assistants. Conclusion: Findings indicate that different factors influence the care behavior of two groups. These findings can be utilized to develop certified-care-assistants' training curriculum that needs to be tailored by nationality to improve the quality of care for older adults with dementia.

This qualitative case study explored seven non-certified firms' family-friendly cultures and their responses to the family-friendly certification through interviews with the human resources managers. The results from the data analysis revealed within firm's differences and a gap among those firms. In addition, their responses to the family-friendly certification were classified into three categories: a positive group, indifference group, and negative group. From the results of the firms' various family-friendly cultures and the firms' various responses to the family-friendly certification, we suggested several issues on the family-friendly certification system's improvement and the government's management and supervision of the legal requirement to ensure workers' work-life balance and the firm's autonomy plan for its' own family-friendly culture.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of levels of education on ground reaction force and center of pressure parameters during chest compression resuscitation. Method: Twenty male university students were divided into two groups; certified group (CG, n=10) and non-certified group (NCG, n=10). Two force plates were used to measure ground reaction force and center of pressure parameters during 30 times (three trials) chest compression resuscitation. Independent t-tests were used to compare ground reaction force and center of pressure parameters between two groups. An alpha level of 0.05 was used in all tests. Results: All chest-compression time parameters (total time, 1 systolic time, and diastolic time) in CG were significantly shorter than those in NCG (p<.05). Fy of the diastolic and Fz of the systolic in CG revealed significantly the larger GRF values and Fy of the systolic in CG showed significantly the smaller GRF value (p<.05). The standard deviation of Fz of the systolic and diastolic within the subject during 30 times chest-compression resuscitation revealed significantly the smaller values in CG (p<.05). Conclusion: First, CG performed chest compressions efficiently at an appropriate rate compared to NCG. Second, CG showed lower Fx and Fy values in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior axes compared to NCG, which reduced unnecessary chest-compression force consumption and minimized the movement in patients with cardiac arrest. Third, CG showed high Fz value of the systolic and low Fz value of the diastolic. Based on this, chest compression resuscitation was performed to increase the survival rate of cardiac arrest patients.

Purpose: This study is a non-equivalent control group pre-post design, which attempted to observe the effects of Basic Life Support Education on undergraduate students' CPR Knowledge and Attitude. Methods: The subjects were 96 undergraduates in Jeonbuk. They were divided into two groups: an experimental group of 46 students and a control group of 50 students. The BLS education was given by three BLS instructors certified by the American Heart Association using a DVD. Data were collected from October 20 to November 15, 2010 and analyzed, using the ${\chi}^2$ test, t-test, and ANCOVA. Results: There were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in the levels of CPR Knowledge and Attitude. The 1st hypothesis, that the CPR knowledge scores for the experimental group would be higher than those of the control group, was supported (F=157.58, p=.000). The 2nd hypothesis, that the CPR attitude scores for the experimental group would be higher than those of the control group, was supported (F=23.78, p=.000). Conclusion: This study showed that BLS education had a positive influence on undergraduate students' knowledge and attitudes toward CPR. We expect that BLS education will contribute to spreading knowledge of CPR and reducing mortality among heart attack victims, and we can see from this study how CPR training in combination with theory and clinical practice develops knowledge and practical ability.

Purpose: The design of this study is a nonequivalent control group, non-synchronized quasi-experimental study. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of laughter therapy on pain and anxiety of patients with postmastectomy. Methods: The participants were 33 patients admitted for mastectomy in a college affiliated hospital (17 patients in experimental group and 16 patients in control group from November, 2008 to March, 2009). The registered nurse who were certified as the 1st degree laughter specialist implemented the intervention once a day for 30 minutes from the 2nd day to the 6th day after surgery when visited them. Date were analyzed using t, Mann-Whitney U test, repeated measures of ANOVA, paired t-test, or ANCOVA. Results: The level of pain was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group. Since the level of pain in all participants was reduced as time passed, the interaction effect between time and group existed. The level of anxiety was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group. Conclusion: Based on the results, the laughter therapy may be recommended as an useful intervention to effectively reduce the levels of pain and anxiety among patients with postmastectomy.

Low power laser therapy is internationally certified and is known to be effective in stimulating DNA in living organisms, increasing protein synthesis and activating cell division, smoothing blood circulation, promoting cell activation, cell regeneration and function. It also has anti-inflammatory, anti-edemic, anti-fibrous dysplastic and neuralogic hyperfunctional effects. This study was intended to verify the effect of LED irradiation therapy on wound healing in cell and animal tests by applying LED irradiator using a laser and laser diode, which was independently designed and developed to emit beams of similar wavelength to that of a laser. This equipment was fabricated using a micro-controller and a high brightness LED, and designed to enable us to control light irradiation time, intensity and reservation. In case of cell proliferation experiment, each experiment was performed to irradiation group and non-irradiation group for tissue cells. MTT assay method was chosen to verify the cell increase of two groups and the effect of irradiation on cell proliferation was examined by measuring 590 nm transmittance of micro-plate reader. In the wound healing experiment, 1$cm^2$ wounds on the skin wound of SD-Rat(Sprague-Dawley Rat) were made. Light irradiation group and none light irradiation group divided, each group was irradiated one hour a day for 9 days. As a result, the cell increase of tissue cells was verified in irradiation group as compared to non-irradiation group. And, compared with none light irradiation group, the lower incidence of inflammation and faster recovery was shown in light irradiation group.

The purpose of the study is to determine how consumers perceive certification marks for agricultural products. The study examined three agricultural product certifications, such as the certification of environment-friendly agricultural products, Good Agricultural Procuts (GAP) certification mark, and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) certification mark. A survey was utilized for data collection from adults over the age of 19 in November, 2013. A total of 390 questionnaires were distributed, and 300 of those were obtained for an analysis of the study. The results were as follows. First, consumers' awareness of, image of, and credibility on the agricultural products with the certification marks were not significantly different among the three certification marks except consumers' awareness. Second, consumers' purchase intentions for and willingness to pay for the agricultural products with the certification marks were not significantly different among the three certification marks. Third, these variables were not significantly different between buying group and non-buying group except consumers' awareness. Lastly, buying group and non-buying group were significantly different only in gender and marital status. The findings offer implications to the food and food service industry regarding consumers' purchase of certified agricultural products. Further, the study enforces the roles of food industry for environment.

This study was conducted to provide sustainable measures for conservation and management to protect valuable natural/ecological resources, offer differentiated quality assurance services for eco-tourism products, and explore measures for eco-tourism certification/designation systems. To achieve its goals, the study discussed domestic and overseas trends and literatures that concern eco-tourism certification/designation system and investigated case studies that were presently operational. A group of experts and a group of non-experts were surveyed separatedly to investigate the awareness of the national eco-tourism certification/designation system. The results from the investigation indicate that Europe, since the late 1990s to early 2000, has actively introduced a system that establishes and operates a dedicated institution, and European members have created a cooperation framework to formulate international partnerships and develop standardized assessment benchmarks to adhere to the goals of the system, the period for certification was designated from one year to five years, and renewals were granted based on periodic monitoring and reassessment. In Korea, from early 2000, the Ministry of Culture, Sorts and Tourism and other organizations have certified product quality and assessed travel products and national park tour programs. The certification period was established to be set between one and three years, and the vast majority were not reassessed. Upon investigating the results for awareness of national eco-tourism certification/designation system, a high number of respondents agreed with the need to establish a eco-tourism certification/designation system (90% of respondents), and the respondents cited eco-tourism quality assurance, conservation of value, means to maintain established institutions, and environmental education and information as reasons for needing a certification/designation system. In Korea, a certification/designation system for the eco-tourism industry is presently in operation, but the system regulates target institutions based on their characteristics. Therefore, this study proposes its suggestions via various categories, including designated institutions, designated purpose, designated subjects, designated organization, laws, regulations, and incentives.

본 연구의 목적은 최근 노사 간 이슈가 되고 있는 비정규직 이슈에 주목하여 비정규직 노사분규의 사례 중 대표적인 하이닉스 사내하청 노사분규사례의 발생원인 및 해결과정 등 전 과정을 살펴봄으로써 향후 유사한 노사분규에 대한 시사점을 주고자 함에 있다. 사례분석결과 하청노조는 교섭상대방인 하청회사가 존재 할 때까지는 하청회사들과 교섭하지만, 이후 하청회사는 폐업을 하게 되고 이에 따라 하청노조원들은 직장을 잃게 되고 교섭상대방은 원청회사로 바꾸어 직접교섭과 고용을 주장한다. 원청회사의 교섭거부와 하청노조의 불법을 포함한 전 방위적 공세 속에서 지역사회 등의 노력으로 중재가 시도되고 이후 사적 조정 그리고 최종 직접교섭으로 동 분규는 해결된다. 해결에 있어서는 고용을 배제되고 위로금 등으로 해결되어 불법과 무원칙이 난무하는 한국의 노사관계에서 나름대로 법과 원칙에 입각한 해결이라는 의미 있는 결과를 나타냈다. 마지막으로, 이상의 연구결과를 토대로 시사점을 제시하였다.

연구목적 본 연구에서는 정신과 외래 환자 중 자살 고위험 집단인 자살 사고, 자살 시도, 비자살적 자해 및 일반 정신과 환자 집단의 감별 시 MMPI-2-RF가 변별 도구로써 활용될 수 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 모든 대상자는 한양대학교 구리병원에 정신과적 진료를 내원한 환자로, 정신건강의학과 전문의로부터 DSM-5에 근거한 진단을 받았고, 이들의 의무기록을 후향적으로 검토하여 네 집단(자살 사고, 자살 시도, 비자살적 자해, 통제집단으로 일반 정신과 환자)으로 분류하였다. 총 112예가 분석에 포함되었다. 수집된 자료를 분석하기 위해 기술 통계 분석, 성별을 공변인으로 한 다변량 공분산분석(MANCOVA)를 통해 집단 간 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 결 과 연구 결과, 비임상군인 대학생을 대상으로 한 기존 선행 연구와 마찬가지로, 임상군인 정신과 외래 내원 환자들 중에서도 자살 고위험군이 저위험군에 비해 높은 정서적/내재화 문제(EID), 무력감/무망감(HLP), 자살/죽음 사고(SUI), 의기소침(RCd), 인지적 증상 호소(COG), 냉소적 태도(RC3), 역기능적 부정 정서(RC7)와 부정적 정서성/신경증(NEGE-r) 점수를 보였다. 하지만 자살에 대한 위험성이 높은 환자들을 자살 사고, 자살 시도, 비자살적 자해를 시도하는 개인들 총 세 집단으로 나누어 분석하였을 때, 세 집단 모두를 변별할 수 있는 변인은 관찰되지 않았다. 다만, 자살 시도 집단 및 비자살적 자해 집단이 일반 정신과 환자 집단에 비해 높은 행동화/외현화(BXD), 반사회적 행동(RC4), 공격성(AGG) 등을 보였으나, 자살 사고 집단과 일반 정신과 환자 집단 사이에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결 론 본 연구는 MMPI-2-RF가 임상군인 정신과 외래 내원 환자들 중 자살 위험이 높은 환자들을 자살사고, 자살 시도, 비자살적 자해 세 집단으로 구분했을 때, 이 세 집단을 변별할 수 있는 유용한 진단적 도구로써 기능할 수 있는지 확인해보고자 하였으나, 세 집단 모두를 변별해주는 요인은 관찰되지 않았다. 이에, 세 집단 간변별에는 MMPI-2-RF가 진단적으로 유용하지 않을 것으로 시사된다. 다만, 자살 사고 집단에서는 차이가 나타나지 않았으나 자살 시도 및 비자살적 자해 집단에서는 통제군인 일반 정신과 환자들에 비해 높은 공격성과 행동화가 나타나, 자살 사고가 실제 자살 시도로 이행되는 과정에서 이러한 지표들이 위험성을 판단할 수 있는 조기변별 지표로서 기능할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
