Hand-washing is one of the major factors in personal hygiene and public health. This study was undertaken to investigate the hygienic behavior of food-service employees, focusing on awareness of hand washing, hand washing practices, and the load of index microorganisms (aerobic plate count, total and fecal coliforms, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus) on the hands of food-service employees. A questionnaire survey completed by direct interview, direct observation of restrooms by the researcher and trained observers, and microbiological examination according to the Food Code of Korea were carried out. In the survey, a positive attitude toward hand washing compliance was reported; however, improper hand washing and poor hand hygiene of the food-service employees were seen under direct observation. Significant differences (p<0.05) were found between the questionnaire survey and the direct observations in hand washing compliance after using the toilet, duration of hand washing, use of hand washing agents, use of hand washing tools, washing of different parts of the hands, hand-drying method, temperature of water, and method of turning off the water. Samples taken from employees' hands before washing showed higher levels of bacteria than those taken during work and/or after washing (p<0.05). Poor hand washing practices were indicated by the positive results for total and fecal coliforms, E. coli, and S. aureus on the hands of some food-service employees. This study showed that there is a marked difference between the food-service employees' awareness of hand-washing and their actual hand-washing practices. The poor hand hygiene of and improper hand washing by the food-service employees should be addressed for improved food safety.

Objective : The aim of this study was to investigate the infection management awareness and infection prevention management status of students who participated in occupational therapy and clinical practice. Methods : The study was carried out from June 27th to August 4th, 2017, to survey the awareness and practice of infection control in 11 practice institutes among 193 students who had experience in 8 universities. Results : A total of 93.3 % of the respondents said that they needed education about infectious diseases, but 53.3 % of them did not receive infection prevention education at school or in clinical trial institutes. Hygienic practices for infection prevention and infection control practices related to handwashing were high, but the use of protective equipment was poor in the observation of swallowing disorder treatment. It is also important to educate students who have been trained in infection control. However, infection prevention training at universities and training centers is insufficient suggesting the importance of future infection education. Conclusion : Infection control education to prevent infection is necessary not only for clinicians but also for students participating in on-the-job training. Effective efforts are also needed in universities and clinical practice institutes so that infectious disease prevention education can be implemented. This study provides basic data for infection control education in universities and practice educational institute that perform clinical training and occupational therapy.

Objectives: This study was performed to investigate hygienic behavior of food handlers and general population focusing on awareness of hand-washing and the microbial load of their hands. Methods: A questionnaire survey and microbiological analysis were carried out for sixty-four people each. Samples for microbiological analysis were collected through the glove-juice method from the hands, and were analyzed for the presence of aerobic plate counts, total coliform, fecal coliform, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella spp. according to the Food Code of Korea. Results: In the survey, significant differences between the food handlers and general population (p < 0.01) were found in hand-washing frequency, duration, use of hand-washing agents, washing parts of hands, hand-drying method, and method of turning off water. In eight different situations among the ten particular situations in their daily life, more food handlers responded to wash their hands than general population (p < 0.05). Bacterial load on hands with general population was consistently higher than with food handlers (p < 0.05), however, percentages of positive hands of S. aureus and Salmonella spp. were not. Conclusions: Poor hand hygiene practices were indicated by the positive results for E. coli, S. aureus, and Salmonella spp. on the hands of some respondents in both groups. This study reveals that there is the need for programs or campaigns to increase hand-washing practices of both groups.

This study examined the state of awareness, consumption, and purchasing behavior of Kimchi among Chinese adults in Beijing and Shanghai. Two-hundred Chinese individuals in Beijing and Shanghai were included as study subjects. The subjects selected "good Kimchi for Chinese taste" as excellent Kimchi; however, only 13% of the subjects selected "Kimchi from Korea is excellent." The first sites of Kimchi consumption in China included "home" (59.0%) and "restaurants" (40.0%) in Beijing and "restaurants" (57.0%) and "home" (32.0%) in Shanghai. Chinese people primarily purchase 400g pouches of Kimchi more than once a month, and the average price of Kimchi is RMB 12.59 in Beijing and RMB 18.32 in Shanghai. These results suggest that the interest in Kimchi varieties and the countries producing it differ among Chinese consumers depending on the region. Therefore, a sensory evaluation of Kimchi is essential to determine the preferred flavor of Kimchi among Chinese individuals and to promote the consumption of traditional Korean Kimchi.

본 연구는 노인장기요양보험제도의 방문간호 중에서 치과위생사의 업무인 방문구강위생이 포함되어있으므로 치과위생사의 인지도를 파악하고자 2009년 1월부터 4월까지지 서울특별시, 인천광역시, 경기도의 치과병 의원에서 근무하는 치과위생사 259명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 주요한 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 노인장기요양보험제도에서 치과위생사의 방문구강위생업무 중 중요한 업무순위에 대해 1순위가 '관리적, 예방적 처치 영역', 2순위는 '구강보건교육 영역'으로 나타났다. 구강보건교육 영역 중에서 중요한 교육분야는 '잇솔질'이 79.9%로 현저히 높게 나타났으며, 예방적 처치 영역 중에서도 '잇솔질 실행'이 64.5%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 2. 치과위생사가 방문구강위생업무를 하기위해 치과의사의 지시서가 필요한 것에 대한 인지여부에서 38.2%가 '예', 61.8%가 '아니오'라고 응답하였다. '예'라고 응답한 치과위생사 중 근무경력이 '1년 이상-4년 미만'인 치과위생사가 치과의사의 지시서 필요에 대해 인지하고 있는 비율이 13.9%로 가장 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 3. 치과위생사가 노인장기요양소를 개설할 수 있는 것을 인지하고 있는 지에 대해 93.4%가 '아니오', 6.6%가 '예'라고 응답하였다. 학력에 따른 노인장기요양소 개설의향정도는 치과위생사의 학력이 '학사'인 경우가 3.48로 가장 높게 나타났다(p<0.001). 4. 노인장기요양보험제도의 인지정도에 대한 변수 중 '방문구강위생업무 시 치과의사의 지시서가 필요한 것에 대한 인지정도'와 '노인장기요양소 개설의향정도'와의 관계에서 음(-)의 상관관계(r=-0.300)를 보여주고 있으며, 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.01). 이상의 결과로 보아 노인장기요양보험제도의 수급자에게 구강위생업무를 제공해야할 치과위생사의 인지도가 낮으므로 노인장기요양보험제도에 대하여 치과위생사들에게 적극적인 홍보와 정기적인 교육을 통하여 인지도를 높여가야 할 것으로 사료된다.
