Purpose: This study was intended to gain an in-depth understanding of and explored the experiences and meanings of participating in care services among community-dwelling older adults. Methods: A focus group interview approach was adopted. Twenty older adults were interviewed from November to December 2021 using semi-structured interview questions. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Three main themes and seven sub-themes emerged for the elderly people living alone. One main theme was "ambivalence of elderly care services," the second was "desperate need for care services," and the third was "positive changes and expectations experienced with care services." For the elderly people living with their families, two main themes and four sub-themes were identified. One main theme was "care services met within the family system," the second was "needs for care services outside the family system." Conclusion: We aim to provide a basis for strengthening the quality of elderly community care services in the mid- to long-term and establish a system of close linkages between necessary services by understanding the needs of elderly people who live alone or with their families.

본 연구는 행위자의 행동을 유도하는 특성을 뜻하는 어포던스 관점으로 학습자의 안전행동을 증진시키는 안전교육 앱의 설계원리를 구체적으로 제시하는데 목적이 있으며, 설문조사를 기반으로 한 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 중심으로 진행하였다. 안전교육 앱의 표현상의 특성인 어포던스를 측정하기 위하여 인지적 어포던스, 감각적 어포던스, 물리적 어포던스, 안전행동 증진에 관한 문항을 구성요인으로 사용하여 측정문항을 구성하였으며, 분석하고자 한 안전교육 앱은 소방방재청에서 개발한 '물놀이GO!' 앱을 선정하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 학습자가 안전교육 앱 학습환경에서 유의미한 학습활동을 하게 하려면 지속적으로 학습에 참여하도록 도와야 한다. 둘째, 앱에서 모바일 기기와 상호작용 하면서 학습을 촉진하면서도 학습자의 학습을 방해할 수 있는 요소들은 줄여야 한다. 본 연구를 통해 안전교육 앱 학습환경을 구성할 때 안전행동을 증진시키는 가이드라인으로써 본 설계원리를 활용할 수 있다.

The aim of the study was to explore the current status as well as personal views, attitudes, and beliefs regarding daily meal consumption (DM) and food supplement use (FS) in conjunction with the improvement of health condition of the women. Eight focus group interviews were performed and the interview material was condensed systematically with the aim to extract core meanings related to DM, FS, and menopause-associated health. Participants were 40 in number and showed ages ranging from 45 and 60 years with various menopausal status. Current status and beliefs about DM, resources of purchase motivation of FS, types of FS that are currently used, and perceived effects and personal beliefs about FS are discussed. Theme content analysis revealed 3 themes for beliefs about DM, 5 themes for beliefs pertaining FS, and 4 themes for the association between DM and FS. Non-dietary factors such as positive mental attitude and exercise appeared to be also important to maintain good health. The bottom line message from this study may be that proper nutrition through daily meals is essential for good health, while food supplement are used merely to supplement the diet. Findings from this study may deepen our understanding of how women who translate their lifespan through "menopause" perceive the roles and meaning of DM and FS, suggesting health professionals need to monitor and evaluate DM and implement strategies targeting the improvement of daily meal quality of middle and older aged women.

Objectives: We conducted a qualitative study to explore the feasibility of mobile applications for self-monitoring of diet. Methods: We conducted in-depth and focus group interviews with eight laymen who had used mobile dietary applications and eight experts. Interviews were audio-recorded and analyzed using an open coding method. Results: The qualitative data of our study revealed two key themes: (1) perceptions, opinions and attitudes towards mobile applications of self-monitoring of diet and (2) future directions to improve mobile applications. Conclusions: Our qualitative study suggested the potential use of mobile applications as a food-tracking and dietary monitoring tool and the need for improved mobile applications for self-monitoring of diet. The results of our study may provide insights into how to technically improve mobile applications for self-monitoring of diet, how to utilize dietary data generated through mobile applications, and how to improve individual's health though mobile applications.

Objectives: To characterize the usage patterns of new types of tobacco products (NTTPs) to develop effective strategies for the regulation of NTTPs in Korea. Methods: We conducted focus group interviews to identify the NTTP usage patterns of research subjects. The NTTPs were limited to electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), waterpipe tobacco, and rolling tobacco. We categorized 30 research subjects into 4 groups. The ecigarette group was divided into adult and adolescent groups. Each group contained 7-8 subjects. An interview lasting approximately 2 hours was conducted with each group. Results: Ninety percent of NTTP users used an NTTP in combination with conventional cigarettes. Subjects mostly bought NTTPs online, unlike how they bought cigarettes. Additionally, a great deal of information, such as how to use NTTPs and descriptions of NTTP products, was exchanged through online or offline societies. The primary reason why the subjects used NTTPs was that NTTPs offer a greater range of flavors and aromas than cigarettes. Moreover, NTTPs were felt to be less repulsive than cigarettes. NTTPs were not used as a cigarette substitute; rather, they were mostly used in places and situations where traditional cigarette smoking was not allowed. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, the government should conduct studies on the effects of the combined use of NTTPs and cigarettes on the human body, obtain and provide accurate data regarding NTTP use, and develop and implement polices to ban NTTP advertising, which may arouse adolescents' curiosity, and the addition of flavoring substances to tobacco products.

This study provides guidelines for the development of Korean fashion cultural products. This study identified adolescents' perception of Korean traditional culture and examined their attitudes towards the fashion cultural products of the Korean image with a focus on their image association of those products. For this study, questionnaire data from 447 adolescents was used for statistical analysis. Adolescents were classified into three groups (apathy group, modernization group, and balanced succession group) according to their perception of Korean traditional culture. There were notable differences among the three groups in the image association with the fashion cultural products of Korean image and their value seeking. A large number of adolescents showed positive attitudes towards products with splendid and decorative images as well as simple and refined images. It is important to maintain a balanced strategy in developing cultural products between modernization and the succession of traditional images in order to magnity the market opportunities for fashion cultural products of the Korean image that focus on adolescents.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the jobs of paramedics who are diversifying by deriving duties in accordance with occupational group-related laws, although they are not directly specified in the job description of paramedics or the Emergency Medical Act. Methods: This study selected four paramedics who randomly extracted participants that submitted consent to participate between March 2023 and October 2023. Their occupational groups were the Korea coast guard and air rescue, health centers, and industries; they met on September 19, 2023, and directly transcribed the recorded contents through a three-and-a-half-hour focus group interview for analysis. Results: In the results, although the job description was not directly specified in the job description or emergency medical law, five areas of work applied to practice were derived: "rescue," "administration," "education," "industry," and "tactical." Conclusion: To expand jobs according to the diversification of the occupational field of paramedics, job analysis of paramedics belonging to various occupations is required.
