  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand interpersonal dispositions and social support among high school students and identify factors associated with depression. Methods: A total of 604 students (320 males and 284 females) from four high schools conveniently sampled from high schools in the Incheon area participated in a self-administered survey. Results: According to hierarchical multiple regression analysis, the following factors significantly affected the participants' depression levels with the explanatory power of 30.6%: grade, perceived health status, sympathetic-acceptable personality, sociable-friendly personality, rebellious-distrustful personality, parent support, peer support, and the support from community. Conclusion: In this study, interpersonal dispositions and social support were positively associated with depression. These results suggest that strengthening personal relations and social support can help high school students in terms of mental health and suicide prevention.

  • Objectives: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or lupus patients usually experience various physical and psychological challenges. Since the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, these challenges have become even harsher. Using the participatory action research approach, this study evaluated how an e-wellness program (eWP) impacted SLE-related knowledge and health behaviors, mental health, and quality of life among lupus patients in Thailand. Methods: A 1-group, pretest-posttest design study was conducted among a purposive sample of lupus patients who were members of Thai SLE Foundation. The 2 main intervention components were: (1) online social support, and (2) lifestyle and stress management workshops. Sixty-eight participants completed all the study requirements, including the Physical and Psychosocial Health Assessment questionnaire. Results: After being in the eWP for 3 months, participants' mean score for SLE-related knowledge increased significantly (t=5.3, p<0.001). The increase in sleep hours was statistically significant (Z=-3.1, p<0.01), with the percentage of participants who slept less than 7 hours decreasing from 52.9% to 29.0%. The percentage of participants reporting sun exposure decreased from 17.7% to 8.8%. The participants also reported significantly lower stress (t(66)=-4.4, p<0.001) and anxiety (t(67)=-2.9, p=0.005). The post-eWP quality of life scores for the pain, planning, intimate relationship, burden to others, emotional health, and fatigue domains also improved significantly (p<0.05). Conclusions: The overall outcomes showed promising results of improved self-care knowledge, health behaviors, mental health status, and quality of life. It is recommended that the SLE Foundation continues to use the eWP model to help the lupus patient community.

  • Accepting the health as the fundamental human right, the nation and society came to admit the duty to give it to all the people. Korean government is expanding the Primary Health Care as one of the policies for developing the people's health by the lead of community. Like this current situation the School Health Service which is the center of community Health Service schould be active to keep, promote and maintain the health of students and teachers. This investigation was attempted to help to establish the basis of the Health Education Program which would perform the health education efficiently and bring the reforming of student's health control, by measuring the degree of junior high school student's practice concerning health care and con-firming the relationship of knowledge, concern and level of health. The subjects for this study were made up 296 boys at the third grade in a school, located in Seoul. The tool for this study was questionaire. Data were collected for five days, September 22∼26, 1983. The investigators explained the students how to answer the questions of the survey questionaire and then collected the survey cards immediately. The data were analyzed by means of percentages, Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Stepwise Multiple Regression. The results of this study are as follows. 1. The subjects' reaction to the practice concerning Health Care; According to the average proportion of practice concerning health care, subjects' practice in the aspect of Infectious Disease Care is the highest 82.4% and they showed their practice in the aspect of the accident prevention by 77.5% and in the aspect of mental health by 74.8%. Their practice in the aspect of personal hygiene and daily lifehabit is the lowest 71.2%. 2. Health Knowledge; The whole mark distribution of health knowledge is ranged from the lowest 4 point to the highest, 30 point, therefore point range is 26.0. The Average point is 16.58. 11.2% of students solved more than two thirds of personal knowledge levels. 81.4% of students did more than one third of them. 7.415 of students did less than one third of them. 3. Health Concern; The Students of the average 3.99 point respond positively to the question about the health concern, ‘They think health is more important than money’, this is the highest rate. The students of the average 2.78 respond“when they are sick, they enter the appointed hospital where they own choose”, while it is the lowest. 4. Subjects' response to the health level are at follow: Very healthy 26.0%, healthy 47.0%, less healthy 10.5%, 34.9% of them have ever been sick within two weeks, the number of symptoms they reported amount to 114 and the number of cases poi one person is 0.35. 5. The hypotheses test about the practice concerning health care and the factor which effect on it. 1) The main first hypothesis:“The more knowledge of health the subjects have, the better they practice health care.”was accepted. (r=0.1582, p <0.05) 2) The minor first hypothesis:“The more interest in health subjects have, the better they practice”was accepted. (r=0.4354, p <0.001) 3) The minor second hypothesis;“The healthier subjects are, the better they practice health care”was accepted. (r=0.1069, p<0.05) As other test, partical correlation test is performed in other refine whether health knowledge, a fact influencing the students practice concerning health care, is associated with the practice after controlling the third variables. First, after controlling health concern, the correlation of health knowledge and practice concerning health care was kept. (r=0.1347, p <0.005) Second, after controlling health level, the correlation of health knowledge and practice concerning health care was kept. (r=0.1526, p <0.005) And finally, after controlling economic state, the correlation of health knowledge and practice concern-ing health care was kept. (r=0.1413, p <0.05) Additionally Stepwise Multiple Regression between practice concerning health care and variables. 1.6591 of compliance was explained with the know-ledge (F=5.584, p <0.05), 20.0% of compliance was explained with the health concern added to knowledge. (F=63,213, p <0.005) As the above, health knowledge obviously have effects on the practice about the health care. But, contrary to researcher's expectation, health concern has more affects than health knowledge. Therefore, we must grope the plan to enhance health concern through the regular curriculum and systematic health education for students. Besides, we must study further on, to find the factors which have affect on the practice concerning health care.

  • 본 연구에 의료급여수급권자와 건강보험가입자의 인구사회학적 특성, 건강행태, 질병이환, 의료이용, 건강 관련 삶의 질 등에 대한 포괄적인 평가를 해 보고자 하였다. 연구 대상은 2013년도 지역사회건강조사 자료를 분석하였다. 연구결과 사회경제적 특성, 건강행태, 질병이환, 의료이용 등 다양한 요인들이 건강관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 의료급여수급권자가 건강보험가입자보다 사회경제적 특성, 건강행태, 의료이용이 좋지 않아 건강관련 삶의 질이 낮은 것을 확인을 할 수 있었고 사회경제적 특성을 통제하고도 비교 해본 결과에서도 건강행태, 질병이환, 의료이용이 좋지 않아 건강관련 삶의 질이 떨어지는 결과를 보였다. 따라서 의료급여수급권자들의 건강관련 삶의 질을 효과적으로 향상시키기 위해서는 만성질환 관리, 스트레스와 우울감 관리 등의 정신 건강과 일상 활동 능력의 향상이 무엇보다도 중요하며 적당한 음주습관과 규칙적인 운동, 식습관 등 건강 증진 행위를 촉진하는 데 중점을 둔 체계적인 프로그램 개발과 정책을 위해 국가적 관심이 요구 된다.

  • As a product of poverty, health means the physical, mental and social instability caused by poverty. High mortality, high morbidity, and unsatisfied needs for medical care indicate the health condition of poor people. These indicators are related to the social and psychological property. This study is to develop an effective method of nursing in the poor family which is an essential unit in the nursing field of the community and to which a fundamental approach is need as a top priority. We can make such a study, though partially, by revealing the relationship among the Health-value, Health Locus of Contol, and the Level of Self esteem. We randomly sampled 243 women who are participating in the nursing department of the comnnity nursing centers in Seoul. We investigated by using questionaries and made an analysis on the result by SAS program. The result of this investigation can summarized as follows : 1. The average age of the subjects investigated is 43.4 and the participation rate in the economic activity is as high as 49.4%. Most of them are paid daily. The average members of the family are 4.28 persons, and 80.2% of which are nuclear families. The type of housing is as follows:51.4% are monthly-rent houses. Rent houses represent 23.5%. And 43.6% of the subjects graduate the high schools 2. The level of self-esteem possessed by the subjects is 37.17. The quality of task performance(3.46) and the morality(3.53) are low as compared with the other qualities. 3. In relation to the locus of control, internality is 22.39, the influence of powerrful others represents 20.24, and the effect of chance occurance is 16.41. 4. The orderings of value scale are the physical and mental health, comfortable life, happiness, mental peace, and pleasure. The lowest order is social recognition. 5. Considering in relation to the self-esteem and the locus of control, we found out that there is a negative relationship among the self-esteem, the influence of powerful others. The lower the level of self-esteem is, the higher the influence of powerful others is. There is also a negative relationship among the detailed items such as the qualities, and the positive attitude. 6. In a significant test in the general characters of the subjects and in the level of self-esteem, we can obtain the follwing results. The higher the economic level is, the higher the level of self-esteem is. And the higher the level of satisfaction with life is, the higher the level of self-esteem is. 7. In the locus of control, the higher the economic level is, the higher the internality is. 8. In the health-level, 75.72% represent the high health -level. And the group which has the low satisfaction with life represents the high level of health-value(81.6%). With these results, we can conclude that the level of self-esteem possessed by the poor women living in the city is high and that they have the multi-dimemsional health-value even though they are living in the poor condtions. Traditionally, the poverty has been recognized as an unfavorale factor in the health care. But this study shows that the poverty is no longer an unfavorale factor and, on the contrary, it has a potential power with which people can improve their health by possessing the high self-esteem and the high health value. The ultimate purpose which the nursing task of the community has is to make the patients keep and improve their own health. So, when the nurses approach the poor patients, the nurses should put an emphasis on the individual responsibilities of the patients, and respect their own health value.

  • The main objective of palliative treatment for cancer patients has been to maintain, if not improve, the quality of life (QoL). There is a lack of local data on satisfaction and QoL among cancer patients receiving palliative treatment in Malaysia. This study covers patients with incurable, progressive cancer disease receiving palliative treatment in a teaching hospital in Kuala Lumpur, comparing the different components of QoL and correlations with patient satisfaction. A cross-sectional survey using Malay validated SF36 QoL and PSQ-18 (Short Form) tools was carried out between July 2012 -January 2013 with 120 cancer patients receiving palliative treatment, recruited into the study after informed consent using convenient sampling. Results showed that highest satisfaction were observed in Communication Aspect ($50.6{\pm}9.07$) and the least in General Satisfaction ($26.4{\pm}5.90$). The Mental Component Summary ($44.9{\pm}6.84$) scored higher when compared with the Physical Component Summary ($42.2{\pm}7.91$). In this study, we found that patient satisfaction was strongly associated with good quality of life among cancer patients from a general satisfaction aspect (r=0.232). A poor significant negative correlation was found in Physical Component (technical quality, r=-0.312). The Mental Component showed there was a poor negative correlation between time spent with doctor (r=-0.192) and accessibility, (r=-0.279). We found that feeling at peace and having a sense of meaning in life were more important to patients than being active or achieving good physical comfort. More studyis needed to investigate patients who score poorly on physical and mental component aspects to understand their needs in order to achieve better cancer care.

  • 이 연구는 미국내에서도 지역 정신보건제도가 가장 잘 확립되어 있는 것으로 평가를 받는 캘리포니아주의 주립병원에 입원한 환자들이 어떻게 변화되어 왔는가, 특히 탈시설화운동이 시작된 1960년대 이후 입원환자의 추세를 고찰하는 데 연구의 목적이 있다. 그리고 이를 토대로 앞으로 한국의 정신병원에서 예견되는 변화를 포함한 정신 보건제도의 발전을 위한 정책적 함의를 도출하고자 한다. 연구의 방법으로는 각종 통계자료를 비롯한 문헌조사를 시작으로 직접 현지를 방문하여 주정신보건국과 카운티정신보건국의 각종 데이터를 이용하였으며, 또 실제 주립병원들을 직접 답사하여 각종 시설 및 프로그램의 현황 등을 분석하였다. 1851년 최초의 주립병원이 설립된 이후 입원환자의 수는 계속 증가하여 1959년에는 10개의 병원에 37,489명으로 최고에 달하였다. 그러다가 1970년 12,240명, 1980년 5,314명, 그리고 1997년에는 4개의 병원에 약 89%가 줄어든 4,263명으로 환자의 수가 감소하였다. 이처럼 입원환자의 급격한 감소에 따라 주립병원의 존립에 대한 논란은 많지만, 당분간은 늘어나는 사법 처리된 환자들의 주 치료기관으로 존속될 전망이다. 이러한 연구결과로 보아 한국의 전문정신병원의 입원환자들도 지역 정신보건제도가 발전하게 됨에 따라 향후 감소될 것이 일반적인 전망이므로 정신병원의 서비스프로그램의 다양화와 지역사회 중심의 재활 및 사회복귀를 위한 다각적인 노력이 요청된다. 최근까지 우리나라의 정신보건정책은 단순히 정신의료기관과 정신요양시설의 병상수 증설에만 치중해 왔으며, 정신질환이라는 문제를 약물치료나 정신치료에만 의존하여 해결하려는 의학적, 임상적 모델에 의존해왔다(황성동, 1996). 그러나 미국에서는 탈시설화(deinstitutionalization) 운동이 본격적으로 일어나기 시작한 1960년대 초반 이후로 지역사회를 중심으로 각종 정신사회재활서비스를 적극적으로 제공하는 지역사회 정신보건서비스가 보편적인 모델로 정착되었다. 그래서 많은 환자들을 주립병원에 장기간 수용하는 것을 지양하고 환자의 생환거점인 지역사회 내에서 다양한 재활치료를 통해 사회적 기능을 회복하고 사회에 복귀시키려는 접근법이 보편적인 정신보건정책이자 실천방향이 되었던 것이다(Bell, 1989; Torrey, 1997; Watkins & Callicutt, 1997). 그리고 이러한 미국의 정신보건제도의 변화는 곧 세계적인 추세가 되었다. 다행히 최근 들어 한국에서도 정신의학계와 정부에서 지역사회 정신보건모델에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 1997년부터 시행된 정신보건법에는 이 모델의 활용에 대한 조항들이 구체적으로 명시되어 있다. 그러므로 이제 한국의 정신보건제도도 종래의 장기입원 중심의 전통적 모델에서 지역사회중심의 정신보건서비스 모델로 전환을 시도하고 있다고 하겠으며, 이에 따라 그 동안 정신보건치료의 중심이 되어온 전문 정신병원의 역할과 기능에 많은 변화가 있을 것이라는 예측이 가능할 수 있다. 이러한 때에 선진 각국의 정신보건제도가 지역 정신보건체제로 전환되면서 그 동안 정신치료의 중심적 역할을 맡아 온 전문 정신병원에 어떠한 변화가 일어났는가에 대한 고찰은 앞으로 우리나라의 정신보건정책을 수립하는 데 매우 유익할 것이다. 따라서 이 연구는 미국 내에서도 지역 정신보건제도가 가장 잘 확립되어 있는 것으로 평가받고 있는 캘리포니아주를 연구 지역으로 하여, 종래에 정신치료의 중심이 되어 온 주립 정신병원에 입원한 환자들이 어떻게 변화되어 왔는가를 고찰하는 데 연구의 목적이 있다. 특히 정신보건제도의 역사상 큰 획을 긋는 탈시설화운동 이후에 일어난 변화의 추세를 고찰하는 데 중점을 두었다. 그리고 이 연구의 결과를 기초로 앞으로 우리나라의 정신보건서비스 전달체계의 변화에 따른 전문 정신병원의 변화를 모색하고, 정신보건제도의 전반적인 발전을 위한 정책적 시사점을 얻고자 한다. 연구의 방법으로는 각종 통계자료를 비롯한 문헌조사를 시작으로 직접 현지를 방문하여 주 정신보건국과 카운티 정신보건국의 각종 데이터를 이용하였으며, 또 실제 주립병원들을 직접 답사하여 각종 시설 및 프로그램의 현황 등을 분석 고찰하였다.

  • As the elderly population increases, they are increasingly affected by oral health problems. Therefore, efforts are being made to improve the oral health of older people, alleviate mental discomfort, and reduce unmet dental needs. This study was conducted to confirm the relationship between the National Health Insurance Elderly Denture Coverage and the unmet dental need for the edentulous elderly, as part of the protection policy. We analyzed the 2011 and 2013 Community Health Survey data of the edentulous elderly, aged 75 years or older, before 2012. In order to more precisely confirm the effects of the denture donation policy on unmet dental care, basic life recipients who were subject to the free elderly prosthetic project were excluded from the analysis. The final analysis included 20,400 subjects. According to our investigation of the factors that affect the unmet dental needs of the elderly, the National Health Insurance Elderly Denture Coverage did not affect unmet dental needs. The statistically significant variables that affected the unmet dental needs of the elderly were education and income levels, which are representative socioeconomic status variables. The lower the level of education, the unhealthier the dental care experience, and income levels showed a similar tendency. The elderly who have a low socioeconomic status are more likely to experience unmet dental needs because they lack the knowledge and socioeconomic ability to pay for dental care. Therefore, the policy for health protection of the entire elderly population should be continuously expanded. In addition, the socioeconomically vulnerable groups may have health problems due to the restriction of medical use, which may lead to quality of life deterioration.

  • Primary school is regarded as an important period when many health-related behaviors and life-styles begin to be formed. Acquiring them through school heath education has a strong influence on the health promotion of not only the family but also the community. Primary school health education in Korea has a systematic flaw in that health-related subjects are divided and taught under various subjects in primary school. In order to develop a proper school health curriculum, it is essential to assess what is currently being taught. In this study the current health education of the 6th grade primary curriculum was investigated to improve school health education. The purpose of this study is to identify the health education contents and time in textbooks of the 6th grade primary school curriculum. In this study, the textbooks & teacher's teaching manuals of the 6th grade curriculum were analyzed with a health instruction framework for Korean schools developed by the Korean Nurse Association & Korean School Health Education Association in 1993 and health care framework for health education curriculum presented by Kim in 1991. The results are as follows ; 1) Health education hours of the curriculum are 206 hours, about 34.3 hours a year. 2) The contents of health education were divided into nine subjects at primary schools. Organizing principles of learning experience(eg, integrity, sequence and continuity) were not considered sufficiently. The physical education & natural science subjects include a lot of health education contents. 3) The major content areas are community & environmental health areas and daily healthy life areas. 4) The major areas at each grade level are daily healthy concerns and safety & first-aid 5) The remarkable contrast to the 5th primary school curriculum are that environmental health is offered to the first grade step by step, and that drug use & abuse and mental health education are included in the 6th primary school curriculum. 6) The main contents of health education in 1st, 2nd. and 3rd grade curricula consist of treatment & recovery health functions. Those of the 4th grade curriculum consist of treatment & recovery health functions, and daily healthy life functions. Those of the 5th grade consist of growth & development functions. Those of the 6th grade consist of treatment & recovery health, growth & development functions. Most health care functions belong to physical health care. The results above suggest that we put together the divided contents of health education and manage them on the basis of systematic integration.
