Objective: The objective of present study is to investigate the determinants of smoking behaviour among adults in Malaysia. Method: Findings of the Third National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS-3) by the Ministry of Health, Malaysia, were used. The sample consisted of 34,539 observations. A logistic regression model was thus applied to estimate the probability to participate in smoking. Results: Age, income, gender, marital status, ethnicity, employment status, residential area, education, lifestyle and health status were statistically significant in affecting the likelihood of smoking. Specifically, youngsters, low income earners, males, unmarried individuals, Malays, employed individuals, rural residents and primary educated individuals were more likely to smoke.

The sample analyzed for this study contained 1,489 Korean women residing in Korea aged 20-59 selected by multi-stage sampling method from the 1990 Korean census. Univariate, bivariate, and logistic regression analysis were performed to produce the findings of this study. Only 27.9% of the study sample had had a Pap test in 1992. It was found that the relative sociodemographic profiles of the Pap test between users and non-users were distinctive.

본 연구는 간호사의 주관적 건강상태, 죽음에 대한 태도 및 영적안녕의 수준과 그 상관관계를 파악하기 위해 실시되었다. 대상은 서울 및 경기지역에 소재한 2개 대학병원의 간호사 338명이었다. 자료는 2013년 3월부터 5월까지 주관적 건강상태, 죽음에 대한 태도 및 영적 안녕에 대해 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 측정하였다. 자료는 SAS Window용 통계 프로그램을 이용하여 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients로 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과, 간호사의 연령, 배우자 유무, 교육 수준, 임상 근무경력, 근무 부서와 직위에 따라 주관적 건강상태에 차이가 있었고, 연령, 배우자 유무, 임상 근무경력, 직위에 따라 죽음에 대한 태도에 차이가 있었으며, 연령, 배우자, 종교, 교육수준, 임상 근무경력, 근무부서와 직위에 따라 영적 안녕 정도에 차이가 있었다. 간호사의 주관적 건강상태가 높을수록 죽음에 대한 태도는 긍정적이었고, 주관적 건강상태가 높을수록, 죽음에 대한 태도가 긍정적일수록 영적 안녕은 높았다. 본 연구는 간호사들이 주관적으로 인지하는 건강상태와 죽음에 대한 태도 및 영적 안녕과의 관련성을 파악하였으며 영적간호 또는 임종간호 교육 프로그램을 개발하는데 기초자료를 마련했다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

본 연구는 코로나19 확산에 따른 대중의 불안, 지식, 감염 가능성, 감염예방 가능성, 감염예방행위 수행도 수준을 파악하기 위해 시도되었다. 2020년 4월 6일부터 4월 10일까지 20~50대 성인 208명을 대상으로 자료수집을 하였다. 대상자의 일반적 특성과 코로나19 관련 불안, 지식, 감염 가능성, 감염예방 가능성, 감염예방행위 수행도 수준을 설문조사하였고, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 23.0을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, 상관관계 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구결과에서 나타난 불안 점수는 성별, 연령, 결혼여부, 동거가족 유형에 따라 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 나타났으며, 지식 점수는 연령, 결혼여부에 따라, 감염 가능성은 연령과 지역에 따라, 감염예방행위 수행도는 성별, 연령, 결혼여부, 동거가족 형태에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 하지만 감염예방 가능성의 경우 대상자 특성에 따른 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과는 개인과 지역사회의 감염병 예방을 위한 적절한 보건 정책을 마련하는데 필요한 기초 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이다. 추후 감염병 유행 시기별로 응답자의 반응을 비교하는 연구가 필요하며 지역 범위와 대상자 규모를 확대한 반복 연구를 제언한다.

One hundred and thirty-one male and 231 female elderly in Chung-buk area were the sample for this study. Men's depression score was 22.3 and 25.2 for women, respectively out of 27. Women showed a significantly higher score for depression and health anxiety than men. Gender, age, marital status, number of family, education, income, medical insurance, and mobility and region significantly affected the health anxiety score. The higher depression score the elderly had, the more frequently they took drugs. Conversely. the higher depression score the elderly had, the less frequently they took nutritional supplements. For women, the higher depression score the elderly had, the more they smoked. More depressed elderly showed a significantly smaller BMI compared to the less depressed ones. A negative correlationship existed between the depression score and the elderly's nutrient intakes, especially energy intake which showed a significant negative correlation. There were no significant differences between health anxiety score and nutrient intakes of men. Women who had a higher health anxiety score consumed more energy significantly. The depression score did not affect the elderly's blood biochemical indices. Women who had a low health anxiety score showed a significantly higher HDL-C level.
