This paper reviewed the past social discussion and health research results on sexual minorities to suggest a future direction. Studies have been done to increase the social inclusion of sexual minorities and promote the health of sexual minorities. However, there is still a lot of exclusive awareness of sexual minorities in Korean society, and the researchers have not identified their health status. Studies have shown that factors that hinder lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people from accessing medical services are the lack of knowledge and awareness of LGBTI people and attitudes not inclusive of LGBTI people's culture. Thus, it is necessary to identify the health status of each sexual minority type and prepare health promotion measures accordingly in national health research. In addition, it is essential to provide medical personnel with sexual minority education and introduce a sexual minority education curriculum that includes theory and practice into the health care curriculum. The result of this paper may be able to act as a guide for future operation plans in health research on sexual minorities.

Minority populations in the United States have a higher prevalence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and more persons die of the disease than white persons. This study was to review and compare risk factors and prevalence rates of NIDDM in African Americans, Hispanic s, Korean Americans and Native Americans in the United States. The risk factors of NIDDM, including family history of diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, diet and age, were reviewed in the minority populations. Risk factors such as obesity, physical inactivity and family history of diabetes occurred to a greater extent in some minority populations than in the white population. Diabetes should be treated as a public health problem for minority populations. Due to the increase of older populations and the increased prevalence of obesity and sedentariness, NIDDM in minorities is nearing epidemic proportions. Good diet and regular exercise can reduce the incidence of NIDDM but an understanding of the cultural aspects of diabetes is imperative in order to provide adequate community health education programs because those programs involve diet and behavior changes, characteristics that are often culturally determined. In summary, it is important to plan a community health education program targeted on NIDDM in a culturally adapted manner that will be received with both comprehension and acceptability. In particular, the program for high-risk populations should be stressed so to prevent diabetes. Preventive approaches to diabetes should be considered because they can be both therapeutic and cost effective.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers. This study aimed to compare the uptake of CRC testing in the general public and in ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional survey covered 2,327 South Asian and Chinese adults aged over 50, recruited from two separate studies. A structured questionnaires were administered by research staff over the telephone or in faceto-face interviews. Results: The uptake rate of CRC testing among South Asians was significantly lower than that of the general population in Hong Kong. Factors associated with the uptake rate were health professional's recommendation, perception of regular visits to doctor, use of complementary therapy, ethnicity, perceived susceptibility to cancer, presence of chronic illness, and education level. In addition, a significant interaction (p<0.05) between ethnicity and health professionals' recommendations was found, after adjustment for the main independent factors identified. Conclusions: Older people with lower educational attainment, without chronic illness and those have lower perceived susceptibility to cancer may be targeted for CRC testing promotion in the society. In addition, health professionals can play a highly influential role in promoting such testing, particularly among ethnic minorities.

후기구조주의 프랑스 철학자 질 들뢰즈와 펠릭스 가타리는 소수성과 소수자에 관한 논의를 통해 현대사회는 이미 소수자의 시대가 도래하고 있음을 강조한다. 즉, 노인과 같은 사회적 약자이자 특이성을 지닌 소수자들의 '- 되기'를 제시하고 있다. '- 되기'는 어떻게 하면 기존의 동일성에서 분열하여 다른 삶, 다른 주체로 살아갈 것인가에 대한 실천적 방법론이다. 연구 목적은 '여성 - 되기'를 위한 노인 미디어 교육을 탐색하여 노인여성들이 주체적으로 참여할 수 있는 노인 미디어 교육의 실천 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 이론적 논의는 들뢰즈와 가타리의 주요 개념과 사유들을 검토하고자 한다. 이러한 사유를 전제하는 이유는 기존의 양적 기준으로 정의되었던 소수자와 소수성에 대한 재해석을 통해 소수자로서 노인여성들의 욕망을 '- 되기'라는 생성의 차원으로 재조명하고자 함이다. 이를 통해 구체적이고 긍정적인 효과를 낼 수 있는 노인 미디어 교육의 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

This article compares archetypal heroes in Nguyễn Huy Thiệp's "The Tiger's Heart" and John Steinbeck's The Pearl. It aims to explore the voices of marginalized groups and ethnic minorities who suffer amidst the clash of civilizations. In exploring cultural communication between minority and mainstream communities as embodied by the archetypal heroes in the two works, this article highlights implications of resistance against values of the dominant. The method of "mythization" in modern Eastern and Western Literature, as this article argues, demonstrates the importance of minority discourses in as far as cultural conflicts in the globalizing world are concerned.

Purpose: As health care needs for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) are becoming increasingly important, it has become imperative for the nurses to be attentive towards their health problems and provide nursing care with an open-minded attitude. Due to limited opportunity to provide direct nursing care to LGBT patients, it is hypothesized that simulation would provide good opportunity for students to experience LGBT nursing care in a safe environment. This study was conducted to develop and apply simulation of LGBT nursing care to ultimately provide unbiased nursing care for LGBT population and prepare basic data for LGBT nursing education. Methods: This study was a single-group pre-post experimental design study for 57 senior nursing students based on the comparison of existing LGBT knowledge, general attitude towards LGBT, and nursing attitude towards LGBT before and after simulation. The scenario content included discussion of coming out issue, providing sexual health information, and supportive nursing care for LGBT population. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon signed rank. Results: Simulation education-led to a significant increase in LGBT knowledge and nursing attitude. However, there was no change in the general attitude towards LGBT. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that LGBT education using simulation may be effective for nursing students and nurses from the point of concern for LGBT population. It is hypothesized that future LGBT educational programs might need more detailed information from both care recipients and nurses. Finally, LGBT education needs to be included in the nursing education curriculum.

본 연구에서는 사이버 교육의 시행을 위한 정책지원자료 개발을 위하여 과학고 교사들을 대상으로 인식조사를 실시하였다. 인식조사에 참여한 교사들은 사이버 교육이 시간과 공간 제약의 극복과 교육 기회의 확대 측면에서 긍정적이며, 교수자와 학습자 간의 상호작용이 일어나기 어렵다거나 교수자의 역할이 제한적이라는 측면에서 부정적이라고 하였다. 또한 지리적, 신체적, 사회문화적 취약계층 학생들을 대상으로 상시 또는 입학 전 서비스를 제공하는 것이 필요하다고 생각하는 것으로 나타나 이를 위한 사이버 브릿지 프로그램의 구체적인 방안을 모색할 필요가 있을 것으로 보인다. 교사들은 사이버 교육이 성공적으로 운영되기 위해 가장 중요한 요건은 콘텐츠라고 생각하였으며 고품질의 과학고 사이버 브릿지 교육용 콘텐츠를 개발하는 것이 급선무라고 하였고, 이에 교사들이 선호하는 콘텐츠 유형과 개발 기준을 제안하였다. 따라서 이를 실행하기 위한 콘텐츠 개발과 예산지원이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the factors influencing sexually transmitted infection (STI) in Korean adolescents 12 to 18 years. Methods: Using statistics from 10-11th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, secondary analysis was conducted. The study sample consisted of 4,886 boys and 1,998 girls who had reported initiating sexual intercourse. Results: The proportion of adolescents who had a sexually transmitted infection was 8.8% of boys and 11.0% of girls. In multiple regression analysis, grade, smoking, first intercourse before middle school, intercourse after drinking alcohol, living without family, large amounts of pocket money were factors associated with sexually transmitted infection for both boys and girls. Use of condom is related to STI contraction of boys only. Formal sex education was not associated with reducing risk of STI. Conclusion: The results of this study show the factors associated with STI among Korean adolescents. Gender-related effective interventions should be taken into consideration in school-based sex education programs.
