  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the influencing factors in preventive behavior of tuberculosis among elementary school teachers. Methods: Participants were 151 teachers working at 3 elementary schools in Kimhae City, 3 in Changwon City and 2 in Miryang City. Data were collected with structured questionnaires from May. 8. to Jun. 1. in 2018. Data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 21.0 program for descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The preventive behavior of tuberculosis among elementary school teachers were significantly positive correlated with knowledge(r=.275, p=.001), attitude(r=.493, p<.001) and self-efficacy(r=.280, p=.001). Moreover, The significant factors of the preventive behavior of tuberculosis were attitude(${\beta}=.341$, p<.001), gender(${\beta}=.407$, p<.001), smoking status(${\beta}=.210$, p=.004), self-efficacy(${\beta}=.187$, p=.005) and knowledge(${\beta}=.145$, p=.026). Conclusions: In this study, in order to promote the preventive behavior of tuberculosis among elementary school teachers, it is necessary to find ways to increase knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy of tuberculosis, which are significant influencing factors. In addition it would be possible to develop more effective and efficient nursing intervention program if the individual characteristics of the subjects such as gender and smoking status are considered.

  • Objective : The purpose of this study was to identify the trend of research in the Korean Journal of Oriental Preventive Medicine and to suggest future perspective for oriental preventive medicine research. Method : The contents of 344 articles published in this journal was reviewed from its beginning year 1997 to year 2010. Result : The number of articles was increased as times go on. An analysis of the research design showed, experimental research (in vivo or in vitro) was 36.9%, survey research was 26.5%, review was 20.1%. In the major classifications of topics published, health management 28.5%, oriental medicine effectiveness 25.3%, herbal safety and toxicity 13.1%, and environmental and occupational medicine 9.0% respectively. Conclusion : There has been a lack of health preservation(Yang-saeng) topic, epidemiology and health statistics topic. Further research need qualitative study and each subjects of oriental preventive medicine.

  • In this paper, we consider a periodic imperfect preventive maintenance(PM) policy in which the system's failure rate after each PM remains unchanged. The system undergoes only minimal repairs at failures between PMs. Exact mathematical formula of the expected cost rate per unit time is derived. Optimal number of PMs and optimal maintenance period are derived by minimizing the expected cost rate per unit time. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the proposed approach under Weibull lifetime distribution.

  • Behaviour management and dental procedures performed in very young, pre-cooperative, highly anxious, or medically disabled children are challenging tasks. Various drugs and methods have, however, been introduced to facilitate treatment for this patient population. Midazolam is a benzodiazepine used as an adjunct to behavior management techniques in the dental treatment of pediatric patients. Midazolam can be used as a safe and effective drug for conscious sedation, general anesthetic premedication, and treatment of seizures during dental procedures. Nevertheless, further research involving pediatric patients would be beneficial.
