Background: Although breast cancer is a major public health worry among Asian women, adherence to screening for the disease remains an obstacle to its prevention. A variety of psycho-social and cultural factors predispose women to delay or avoidance of screening for breast cancer symptoms at the early stages when cure is most likely to be successful. Yet few interventions implemented to date to address this condition in this region have drawn on health behavior theory. Materials and Methods: This paper reviews the existing literature on several cognitive theories and models associated with breast cancer screening, with an emphasis on the work that has been done in relation to Asian women. To conduct this review, a number of electronic databases were searched with context-appropriate inclusion criteria. Results: Little empirical work was found that specifically addressed the applicability of health theories in promoting adherence to the current breast cancer prevention programs Among Asian women. However, a few studies were found that addressed individual cognitive factors that are likely to encourage women's motivation to protect themselves against breast cancer in this region of the world. The findings suggest that multi-level, socio-cultural interventions that focus on cognitive factors have much promise with this issue. Conclusions: Interventions are needed that effectively and efficiently target the personal motivation of at-risk Asian women to seek out and engage in breast cancer prevention. Concerning implications, personal motivation to seek out and engage in individual preventive actions for breast cancer prevention among Asian women is a timely, high priority target with practical implications for community development and health promotion. Further studies using qualitative, anthropologic approaches shaped for implementation in multi-ethnic Asian settings are needed to inform and guide these interventions.

도시화 및 산업화로 인해 발생된 중금속으로 오염된 토양의 정화는 인간의 건강 뿐 아니라 지구생태계의 지속성을 위해 매우 중요하다. 중금속 오염 토양 정화 기술 중 식물상복원법은 타 방법에 비해 처리 단가가 저렴하고, 토양 비옥도 및 생물 다양성이 영향을 덜 받는 환경친화적인 방법이다. 이러한 식물상복원법에 식물생장촉진세균(plant growth promoting bacteria, PGPB)을 도입하여 중금속 독성 하에서 식물 생장을 촉진하고 중금속 정화 효율을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 주요 토양오염물인 중금속의 발생원, 미생물·식물·인간에 미치는 중금속 영향 및 PGPB의 식물생장촉진 기작을 정리하였다. 중금속 오염 토양 정화를 위하여 식물상복원에 PGPB의 활용에 관한 최근 10년 동안의 연구 동향을 분석하였다. 또한, PGPB의 실제 적용 시 중금속 제거 효율에 미치는 다양한 환경 인자와 PGPB의 접종 방법의 영향을 고찰하였다. PGPB 활용 식물상복원 기술의 혁신을 위해서는 실제 현장에서 PGPB의 거동과 식물-PGPB-자생미생물 사이의 상호작용에 대한 이해가 필요하다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate perception and satisfaction with Health Education for elementary school students in grade 5 and 6, using data on national health education gathered since March, 2009. Methods: Data were collected by way of a questionnaire, from 475 elementary school students in grades 5 and 6 from February 1~15, 2010. Statistical analysis of collected data was performed using frequency, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis, using SPSS 18.0 software. Result: Levels of health promoting behavior, interest, importance, and satisfaction were relatively high, respectively, and those of students in grade 5 were higher than those of students in grade 6. Levels of Satisfaction with frequency and educational environment were relatively low. Among the factors found to influence satisfaction with health education, interest in health education was found to be the most influential(grade 5:${\beta}$=.279, p<.001, grade 6:${\beta}$=.306, p<.001). Conclusion: Students expressed a high level of satisfaction with regular health education. Expansion of health education frequency and health education-only-classrooms is needed. To improve the effect of health education, constant acquisition of knowledge of subjects' perception and satisfaction is needed. In addition, contents and teaching methods that showed low level of satisfaction should be reformed.

신체 활동 증진을 위한 디지털 게임의 높은 활용에도 불구하고, 활동형 게임 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 체계적 이해는 부족하다. 이 연구는 건강 행위의 생태학적 모형을 기반으로, 신체 활동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 개인적, 환경적, 사회적 요인으로 세분화하고, 신체 활동을 활동형 게임 이용과 일상적 신체 활동으로 구분하여 각 행위에 영향을 미치는 요인을 통합적으로 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 일상적 신체 활동은 세 요인이 모두 영향을 미치는 것과는 달리 활동형 게임 이용에는 사회적 요인만 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 활동형 게임 이용 확대에 사회적 요인이 중요한 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the degree of self-efficacy, sick-role behavior and metabolic control in patients with diabetes and to identify the relationships among those variables. The subject of the study were composed of 204 NIDDM patients from 2 hospitals, who were visiting the outpatient clinic in Taegu. Data were collected from Sep. 18th to Oct. 5th, 1996. In data analysis, an SPSS/PC+ program was utilized for descriptives correlation, T-test, and ANOVA. The results are as follows. 1) The mean scores for self-efficacy were 65.74 (range 30.83-90.68), on a 100 point scale. 2) The mean scores for sick-role behavior were 3.36(range 1.80-4.67), on a 5 point scale. 3) The mean score for metabolic control was 7.63 (range 5.0-13.2). 4) Self-efficacy was significantly correlated with sick-role behavior(r=.3614, p<0.01) but there were no significant correlations with self-efficacy and metabolic control (r=-.1045, p>0.01), sick-role behavior and metabolic control (r= - .1288, p>0.01). 5) There were significant differences in self-efficacy according to sex(t=4.47, p=0.000) and education(F=8.27, p=0.000). 6) There were no significant differences in sick -role behavior according to demographic characteristics. 7) There were significant differences in metabolic control according to the duration of diagnosed diabetess(F=4.13, p=0.007) and complication (t=2.47, p=0.014). These results suggest that for improvement in sick-role behavior nursing intervention needs to be directed at promoting self-efficacy.
