  • Background and Purpose: Indigenous people who leave their hometowns and move to the city to earn a living became urban aboriginals. During the process of adapting to urban living situations, they may use various coping strategies such as smoking to overcome their stress. Therefore, it is crucial to provide health education including smoking prevention, increasing knowledge regarding of tobacco hazard, self-efficacy of anti-smoking, and adjusting smoking behavior so as to empower their anti-smoking motivation to prevent lung cancer. The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of an anti-smoking program on urban aboriginals in Taiwan. Methods: A quasi-experimental study design with purposeful sampling was employed. A total of 125 aboriginal subjects were recruited from two local churches at Shu Lin area in northern Taiwan. Subjects were divided into an experimental group (n =64 ) and a control group (n = 61). Both took pre-tests in order to set baseline values, and only the experimental group participated for 3-weeks in the anti-smoking program classes. Both groups took post-tests immediately after the intervention in order to evaluate the immediate effects of the teaching program, and a follow-up test was conducted four weeks after the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way ANCOVA, and repeat measure ANCOVA. Results: After controlling for confounding variables, the results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the self-efficacy of anti-smoking and smoking behavior between experimental and control groups in the immediately post-test and the follow-up test (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant differences in the recognition of hazards of smoking at eiter time point. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: The findings of this study revealed that the anti-smoking program effectively improved self-efficacy of anti-smoking, and decreased the smoking behavior in urban aboriginals. They provide useful information as a reference regarding of aboriginal health promotion to health providers. It is imperative that anti-smoking be reinforced for those regular smokers to prevent induction of lung cancer.

  • 세정 과정에서 물에 의한 단백질 소실을 차폐막을 통해서 방지 하고자 먼저 모발 내부의 물 거동 경로를 파악하였다. 이를 위해서 소수성을 가지는 건강한 모발과, 모발 내부는 정상이지만 표면의 최외곽 지질층에서 18-methyleicosanoic acid (18-MEA)만 소실시켜 친수성이 된 모발과, 다시 표면에 18-MEA를 결합시킨 회복모를 이용해서 모발 수분의 거동을 파악하였다. 모발에 열을 가할 때 일어나는 수분 증발에 따른 질량 변화를 관찰한 결과 표면이 소수성인 모발들은 39 s와 151 s의 두개의 시간 상수로 감소하였다. 이에 반해 표면이 친수성으로 변한 손상 모발에서는 83 s의 하나의 빠른 시간 상수로 감소함을 확인하였는데, 이는 모발 내부에 있는 비결합과 결합 수분들이 외곽으로 빠져나올때 모발 표면에 소수성 막이 없음으로써 바로 용출됨을 반증한다. 따라서 세정과정에서 모발 내부의 단백질 용출을 효율적으로 방지하기 위해서는 모발 표면을 소수성 코팅하여 물분자의 거동을 저지시킬 필요가 있을 것이라는 가정한 결과 친수성 polyethylene glycol (PEG)를 코팅한 경우 179 ㎍/mL의 단백질이 용출한데 반해서 소수성 polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)를 코팅한 모발은 보다 적은 148 ㎍/mL를 용출하였으며, 표면을 소수성 및 친수성으로 코팅하여 모발 내부 단백질을 검량하여 비교하였다. 마침내 소수성 차폐막이 세정 과정에서 모발 단백질 소실을 방어하는 방법이 됨을 확인하였고, 이 소수성 지표를 lateral force microscopy (LFM) 값으로 환산하여 정리하였다. 마침내 이 연구 결과물은 세정 과정에서 발생하는 단백질 소실을 소수성 코팅막을 부여함으로써 막을 수 있는 모발 세정제품 개발에 기여할 수 있다.
