Purpose: This study attempts to understand workers' need for health promotion programs in their workplace and factors influencing the need. Method: The subjects of this study were 1,626 workers employed at Korean enterprises throughout the country. The instrument was composed with the '2001 National Heal Nutrition Survey.' Data were analyzed using SAS 8.12 by applying $x^2$ and multivariate logistic regression. Results: Need for stress management programs was highest. The need for stress management programs was affected by career and exercise, and the need for exercise programs by marital status and exercise. In addition, the need for alcohol management programs was affected by regular diet, and the need for fatigue prevention programs by fatigue, and the need for non-smoking programs by health status and regular diet. Conclusion: Workers' need for health promotion is related to their health lifestyle, so it is necessary to study various health promotion methods and develop concentrated intervention programs in order to promote health lifestyle.

국내 50인 이상, 매출 100억이상 규모의 중소제조업을 위한 생산정보화는 그간 정부의 정보화 지원사업의 지원으로 중소제조업에서 평균 생산성 22%이상의 성과를 달성하였다. 그러나, 50인이하, 매출 100억 미만의 국내제조업은 약 20만개 이상이 되고 있으나, 정부에서 지원하고 있는 정보화지원사업의 혜택을 받지 못하고 있다. 그간 ERP, SCM 등과 같은 기업정보화의 경우 ASP (Application Service Provider)모델을 개발하여 적용을 시도하여 보았으나 활성화되지 못했고 생산자원 4M (Man, Machine Material & Method)정보를 실시간 처리가 요구되는 생산정보화의 경우에는 기술적 문제로 인하여 적용 시도조차 할 수 없었다. 최근 RFID/USN, 개방형 임베디드, 모바일, 차세대 인터넷 및 SOA (Service Oriented Architecture)기술의 급속한 발전으로 전세계 산재되어 있는 복수 공장의 생산자원을 중앙에서 서비스기반으로 중앙관리가 가능하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 50인 이하, 매출 100억 미만의 군소제조업의 생산자원 4M을 유무선 센서 기술을 통하여 자율 재구성 능력 (Autonomous Reconfigurable) 기반의 원격관리가 가능한 핵심기능의 소개와 복수 공장의 다양한 생산정보화 애플리케이션을 단일 표준 플랫폼으로 구현할 수 있는 적용 모델에 대하여 설명한다.

Purpose: This study was done to examine the relationship between life stress and depression, and the effect of social support of 100 Koreans living in the Phillippines. Theoretically social support is considered to mediate the relationship between lift stress and depression. Method: Data were collected from April 1 to May 30, 2002 and analysed using SAS. The first, two hypotheses were tested using Gamma, a measure of association for ordinal variables. Partial gamma was used to test the third hypothesis. Patterns of elaboration described by Babbie(1986) were selected to interpret the relationship of the three variables in the analysis. Results: 1) There was a positive relationship between life stress and depression(Gamma=.45, p=.017), and a inverse relationship between social support and depression(Gamma=-.561, p=.002). Thus the first, two hypotheses were supported. 2) When social support was controlled, the relationship between life stress and depression increased under the condition of low social support but with high social support, the relationship decreased. Conclusion: It can be interpreted that life stress is positively related to depression under the condition of low social support, however this relationship may be reversed with high social support.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the relationships of superior's leadership to supervisory trust and organizational commitment of nurses. Method: Subjects were 386 nurses in 8 general hospitals at G city and Seoul. Data were collected with self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using SAS 8.12 by applying ttest, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and Stepwise multiple regression. Results: Superior's transformational leadership was $3.54{\pm}0.53$ and transactional leadership was $3.40{\pm}0.36$. Supervisory trust was $3.14{\pm}0.46$ and organizational commitment was $3.18{\pm}0.53$. Superior's transformational leadership was positively correlated with transactional leadership, supervisory trust and organizational commitment with each others. The level of supervisory trust and organizational commitment were different significantly by age, educational status, clinical career, position and superior's leadership level. Major factor that affect to supervisory trust and organizational commitment of nurses was transformational leadership, which had an explanation of 45.9% and 29.8%. Conclusions: The more nurses perceived the superior's transformational leadership, the higher nurses perceived supervisory trust and organizational commitment. Therefore, these variables generally screened and other factors should be analyzed. And if specified nursing intervention program which increase superior's transformational leadership will be developed, it may contribute to strengthen the effectiveness of nursing.

This study was conducted to detect the correlations and the main factors influencing self-directedness in learning of nursing students. Method: The samples were composed of 224 nurse students who were from three nursing department in Seoul, Chungnam & Kyunbook. The reliability of 4 instruments was tested with Cronbach's $\alpha$ from .63 to .86. The data was analyzed using a SAS program for descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression. Result: The results were as follows: 1. The mean self-directedness score was 91.23 which was slightly high. The self-directedness in learning was influenced significantly by grade, perception of self-level, self-study in majoring and self-study except for majoring(F= 3.33-7.14, p<.05). 2. There were significant correlations between all the predictive variables and the self-directedness(r=.27-48, p<.01). 3. Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that 35% of the self-directedness in learning of nursing students were significantly explained by self-esteem(23%), locus of control(6%), self-study except for majoring(2 kind, 2%), self study in majoring(good, 2%), and self-study except for majoring( above 3 kind, 2%). Conclusion: Based upon these findings, sociopsychological variables like self-esteem and locus of control are very important factor influencing self-directedness in learning of nursing students.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among variables of transtheoretical model for exercise in the elderly. Method: A hypothetical model explaining the stage of change was constructed based on a transtheoretical model. Empirical data for testing the hypothetical model was collected from 246 old adults over 65 years old in a community settings in Seoul, Korea in June and July, 2000. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and correlational analysis using pc-SAS program. The Linear Structural Modeling(LISREL) 8.0 program was used to find the best fit model which explain causal relationship of variables. Result: The fitness of modified model to the data was X2= 96.75(df=49, p=.00005), GFI= .98, NFI=.99, AGFI=.95, NNFI=.99. The the predictable variables of stage of change explained 64% of stage of change for exercise Conclusion: Results are consistent with the studies of application of the transtheoretical model, which has been used to understand how people change health behaviors. The findings of this study give useful informations to construct exercise intervention program for the elderly about relationships among variables influencing to the stage of change of exercise.

Purpose: To examine the effect of tooth-brushing education on the oral health of preschoolers. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was used. Two kindergartens were selected and 39 preschoolers from one kindergarten were assigned to the experimental group with tooth-brushing education and 39 from the other kindergarten to the control group. The tooth-brushing education program included 1 session on oral health education, individual tooth-brushing instruction for 1 week and supervised tooth-brushing after lunch for 4 weeks. Oral health behavior including use of tooth paste, tooth-brushing time and method of tooth-brushing, plague, streptococcus mutans, lactobacillus and dental caries were measured before and after the education. Fisher's exact test, t-test and paired t-test with the Window SAS 9.1 program were used to analyze the data. Results: A significant increase in the use of tooth paste, tooth-brushing time and the practice of correct tooth-brushing and a decrease in plague and development of dental caries were observed in the experimental group. Conclusion: This tooth-brushing education was partially effective in improving oral health of preschoolers.
