지역사회 노인들의 자살생각에 영향을 주는 요인을 확인하기 위해, 경주시에 거주하는 재가노인 중 지역사회 내 노인정을 주기적으로 방문하는 157명의 노인들을 대상으로, 설문지를 이용하여 통증, 일상생활능력, 가족지지, 우울, 그리고 자살생각을 조사하였다. 얻어진 자료는 SPSS/PC(version 18.0)의 t-test 혹은 ANOVA를 이용하여 집단에 따른 자살생각의 차이를 비교하였으며, Pearson 상관분석을 통해 각 변수 간 관련성을 측정하였고, 최종적으로 자살생각에 영향하는 요인을 구별하기 위해 위계적 회귀분석을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다.; 무교노인들의 자살생각이 유의하게 높았으며, 경제 상태를 낮게 지각하는 노인의 자살생각이 타 경우에 비해 유의하게 높았다. 스스로의 건강상태를 나쁘다고 인식하는 경우 자살생각이 유의하게 높았으며, 통증이 평균 이상인 집단이 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 자살생각이 유의하게 높았으며, 우울이 평균 이상인 집단이 역시 자살생각이 유의하게 높았다. 상관관계를 측정한 결과, 자살 생각과 음의 관련성을 보인 요인들은 노인이 소속된 사회 모임의 수, 지각된 건강 상태, 일상생활수행능력, 그리고 가족지지 등이었다. 반면에 신체적 질병의 수, 통증, 그리고 우울 등은 자살 생각과 양의 관련성을 보였다. 지역사회 노인들의 자살생각에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인한 결과, 사회인구학적 변수만을 투입한 경우 남성 노인일수록 그리고 사회 모임의 수가 적을수록 자살생각이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 최종 모형에서는 우울만이 자살생각에 유의하게 영향을 주는 변수로 채택되었으며, 그 설명력은 38.4%로 측정되었다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로, 종교가 없는 노인들, 건강상태가 나쁜 노인들, 참여하고 있는 사회 모임의 수가 적은 노인들, 경제적으로 취약한 노인들, 신체적 질병이 다수인 노인, 일상생활수행능력이 저하된 경우, 그리고 가족의 지지가 부족한 소외 노인들, 만성적인 통증을 호소하는 노인, 우울감이 있는 노인들을 대상으로 우울이나 자살 생각을 정기적으로 측정하는 것이 필요하다고 사료된다. 특히, 우울은 자살 생각을 설명할 수 있는 유일한 설명 요소로 확인이 되었기에, 자살 예방의 관점에서 노인의 우울은 반드시 관리되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구 결과 치매 노인의 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인은 우울이었고 우울을 예방하고 감소시키는 보건기관의 정서적 지지 강화 프로그램을 통하여 삶의 질을 높일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 치매 파트너인 돌봄 제공자의 자기자비는 치매 노인의 우울과 상관성을 보여, 주민 지지자원의 역할개발을 위해 돌봄 제공자인 치매 파트너의 자기 자비 증진을 위한 프로그램개발 관련 후속 연구가 필요하다. '지역사회에서 나이 들어가기'를 원하는 재가 치매 노인을 위하여 사회적 지지 자원 개입을 통한 치매 파트너 사업에 대한 보건기관의 적극적인 지지와 지속적인 관리가 필요하며 지역 특성에 기초한 정부의 적극적인 정책 수립을 통하여 지역사회 건강 수준을 향상 시키고 건강 형평성 차원의 서비스 제공을 위한 체계적이고 질 높은 틀을 갖춰 나가는 것이 중요할 것이다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 다음과 같이 제언하고자 한다. 첫째, 본 연구는 일개 농촌지역 치매 노인과 치매 파트너를 대상으로 이루어진 소규모 연구로 일반화하기에 다소 한계가 있으므로 대상자를 확대한 반복 연구가 필요하다. 둘째, 현재 지역사회 보건사업의 치매 노인을 위한 활동으로 정서적 지지를 포함하는 통합적 중재 활동 프로그램 운영을 제언한다. 셋째, 농촌지역 주민을 통한 돌봄 제공자의 농번기 활동에 대한 부담감을 해소하기 위한 방안을 세울 것을 제언한다.

Background: The treatment success rates in patients with tuberculosis are known to be lower in the private sector compared to the public sector. To improve treatment outcomes in the private sector we developed a public-private collaboration model for strengthening health education and case holding activities with public health nursing in the private sector. Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study in new smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients treated at private hospitals, selected by non-randomization, with an intervention consisting of health education and case holding activities by specially trained public health nurses (intervention group) results were compared with cases treated without the intervention (conventional group). Physicians were asked to treat both groups routinely. The treatment outcomes of patients under treatment by the National Tuberculosis Programme were also analyzed for comparison. Results: There were 172 cases each in the intervention and conventional groups. The mean age was 48.9${\pm}$19.0 and 48.2${\pm}$19.7 in the respective groups (p=0.66). The PHN interacted with the cases in the intervention group by initial face to face interview and telephone calls an average of 7.1${\pm}$9.2 times during the initial six months. The intervention group showed a significantly higher treatment success rate, 91.6%, (Rate Ratio [RR]; 1.23, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]; 1.12-1.36), lower default, 3.6%, (RR; 0.31, 95% CI; 0.13-0.75) and transfer-out rate, 3.0%, (RR; 0.32, 95% CI; 0.12-0.86) than the conventional group where they were: 75.0%, 11.6%, 9.3%, respectively. The success rate was even higher than the rate (80.5%) of 1,027 cases treated in health centers (RR; 1.11, 95% CI; 1.05-1.17). Of the completed cases in the intervention group, 82.2% regarded the role of the public health nurse as very helpful. Conclusion: The treatment success rate, of tuberculosis patients in the private sector, was significantly improved by an intervention using a public-private collaboration model.

Background: Chronic kidney disease is considered a risk factor for thyroid nodules as well as thyroid dysfunction such as hypothyroidism. Among patients on hemodialysis, we assessed the size of thyroid nodule and goiter at baseline and 1 year later with ultrasonography. Methods: We prospectively selected 47 patients with hemodialysis at January 2012 and reviewed their medical records. We checked goiter and thyroid nodules at January 2012 and December 2012. Results: In the hemodialysis patients (n=47), 24 patients (51.1%) had thyroid nodules and 33 patients (70.2%) had goiter at baseline. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) was higher in patients with thyroid nodules ($204.4{\pm}102.9$ vs. $129.9{\pm}93.6pg/mL$, p=0.01). Thyroid ultrasonography was conducted in 29 patients after 1 year. The thickness of the thyroid isthmus increased ($2.8{\pm}1.6$ vs. $3.2{\pm}1.9mm$, p=0.003), but the number of nodules did not change ($1.2{\pm}1.9$ vs. $1.4{\pm}2.0$, p=0.109). PTH was associated with the enlargement of thyroid nodules significantly through logistic regression analysis. Conclusion: Thyroid goiter and nodules in hemodialysis patients were more prevalent than in the general population. PTH influenced the production of thyroid nodules in hemodialysis patients. Regular examination with thyroid ultrasonography and thyroid function test should be considered in hemodialysis patients.

Purpose: This research is based on experiments practiced with 6th grade students in primary school as subjects. They were trained in basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation theory and received actual training in CPR. Methods: The subjects were randomly sorted into two classes of the 6th grade students. The experimental group was composed of 35 students. The control group was composed of 32. The experimental group received basic CPR theoretical and practical education once and received a practical evaluation three times, with 4 weeks in between evaluations. The control group received CPR theoretical education before the study. The data was analyzed by ${\chi}^2$-test and t-test using the SPSS/WIN 12.0 program. Results: Hypothesis 1 was that the basic CPR knowledge score would begin to decrease right after the education and continue to decrease as time passed. The experimental group's knowledge score continued to increase 12 weeks after education, but there was no decrease in the control group's knowledge score (F=5.870, p=.000). Hypothesis 2 was that the basic CPR attitude score would decrease right after the education and continue as time passed. There was no significant difference in the experimental group's score after education, nor was there any change in the control group's score on this measure (F=3.986, p=.004). Hypothesis 3 was that the subjects' confidence in practicing CPR would decrease right after education and continue as time passed. There was a significant decrease in the experimental group's score, but no significant change in the control group's score on this measure (F=75.574, p=.000). Hypothesis 4 was that the practical accomplishment evaluation score of CPR would decrease as time passed. There was a significant decrease in the experimental group's score on this measure right after education (F=38.368, p=000). Conclusion: Retraining for basic CPR education will be needed in all aspects of the education/training at least every 4 weeks, to preserve the students' retention of learned material/training. This is because students' scores fell significantly four weeks after education/training.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare sociocultural attitudes toward appearance, appearance satisfaction, and peer relationships between male and female middle school students, and to compare the effects of these variables on self-esteem in students of different genders. Methods: Data were collected in August and September of 2023 and analyzed using SPSS 24.0. Data were collected from 289 male and 240 female students through a survey, and descriptive statistics, x2 test, t-test, Scheffé test, and multiple regression analysis were conducted. Results: Female students showed significantly higher scores for sociocultural attitudes toward appearance (3.06±0.77 vs. 2.82±0.74), significantly lower scores for appearance satisfaction (2.55±0.46 vs. 2.71±0.40), and significantly higher scores for peer relationships (3.46±0.69 vs. 3.00±0.78) than male students. Additionally, self-esteem was significantly lower in female students (2.84±0.59) than in male students (2.95±0.51). As a result of adjusting for weekly allowance, subjective academic achievement, family economic status, stress, and experience of sadness or despair, which were significant in the univariate analysis, self-esteem increased as appearance satisfaction (p for all <.001) and peer relationships increased in both male (p=.009) and female (p<.001) students. In addition, sociocultural attitudes toward appearance did not have a significant impact on self-esteem in both male and female students. Among general characteristics, weekly allowance, subjective academic achievement, and stress were found to have a significant effect on self-esteem in both genders. Relationships with parents had a significant effect on self-esteem only in male students, and experience of sadness or despair had a significant effect only in female students. Conclusion: In order to improve self-esteem in both boys and girls, appearance satisfaction and peer relationships should be improved. As boys with poor relationships with their parents and girls with high levels of sadness or despair are particularly likely to have low self-esteem, they are to be considered as a high-risk group.

This study was attempted to develope a highly reliable and valid tool which is useful to assess the Korean obese adolescents' stress and coping method. The data were collected from the total of 600 obese students from middle and high schools in Pusan. The author used a convenience sampling method. The data collection was done from March 2 to July 11, 1999. The analysis of the data was done with SPSS Win(10.0) for descriptive statistics and factor analysis. The preliminary tool was composed of 72 items(stress items: 34, coping method items: 38) with the five point Likert scale. Item analysis and inter consistency were calculated for reliability and validity through pre-test. The preliminary tool was analyzed for reliability and validity. Finally, the tool was of 65 items(stress items: 33, coping method items: 32). The results were as follows: 1. Cronbach Coefficient Alpha for the 33 items of stress was .9485 and the 32 items of coping method was .8534. 2. The factor analysis was done in order to confirm construction and the items were extracted Oblimin rotation and Maximum likelihood extraction method. 3. The factor analysis showed 6 factors in stress and 10 factors in coping method. These 6 factors of stress explained 62.4％ and 10 factors of coping method explained 57.4％. 4. Six factor of stress lable were 〈outward appearance〉, 〈boyfriend/ girlfriend〉, 〈occur an outbreak of disease〉, 〈mutual relation of family〉, 〈an obese figure〉, 〈be a burden on exercise〉. 5. Ten factor of coping method lable were 〈be concerned about another affairs〉, 〈recreation activities〉, 〈self-violence〉, 〈relaxation〉, 〈hobby activities〉, 〈avoid a situation〉, 〈communication〉, 〈music〉, 〈negative behavior〉, 〈positive thinking〉. The results of using this scale in a study will contribute to design an appropriate school health management of obese students, and also it will contribute to the development of nursing research.
