This is a descriptive study to understand the preventive stage for STDs to provide a basis for sex education for college students. The colleges were selected by quota sampling in five representative cities in Korea. but the 1,691 college students were selected by convenient sampling in the cities nationwide, and the data were collected by self-reporting using a questionnaire consisting of 33 items. The results were as follows : 1. Their mean ages were 21.8 for female and 23.3 for male students, 2.78.0% of the males md 46.5% of the females permitted premarital sex, 57.1% of male and 10.3% of female college students had experienced sexual intercourse, 7. l% of males and 2.4% of females had experienced pregnancy, 10.3% of males and 3.4% of females had been infected with STDs, 72.1% of male and 13.8% of female didn't use condoms at the time of infection. 3. Most of the factors related to STDs infection, such as drinking, smoking, frequency of sexual intercourse. pregnancy, knowledge of STDs, the score of STDs prevention were statistically higher in the male student group than in the female group. 4. The students' mean score of knowledge about STDs was similar between the male group(7.80) and the female group(7.84) with a possible score range from 0-18. 5. Only fifteen percent of male and 9.6% of female students expressed that they will do something to prevent STD. 6. The group having the experience of sexual intercourse(t=3.924, P=.048) and the group of having experience of contracting STDs(t=16.638, P=.000) had shown statistically higher STDs prevention score than the group not having that kind of experience. but the group having experience with pregnancy didn't show any difference from. the group not having experience with pregnancy. Considering that 57.1% of males and 10.3% of females had sexual intercourse experience, 78% of male and 46.5% of female permitted premarital sex, 10.3% of male and 3.4% of female had been infected with STDs. It could be concluded that the college students were ignorant about the prevention of STDs and had unrealistic stage of the STDs prevention. Therefore, enforcement of education for the prevention of STDs including the dynamics of the sexual intercourse and STDs infection is needed.

본 연구의 목적은 아동 성폭력 예방교육에 대한 인식 및 요구도를 분석하여 차후 관련 교육프로그램을 개발하고 실시하기 위한 기초 자료를 제공하는 것이었다. 이를 위한 연구 문제로 아동 대상 성폭력 예방교육 내용 요구도 조사, 아동 대상 성폭력 예방교육 형식에 대한 인식조사, 교사 대상 성폭력 예방교육 내용 요구도 조사, 교사 대상 성폭력 예방교육 형식에 대한 인식 조사 등의 네 가지를 선정하여 설문지를 개발하고, 초등 교사 1,210을 대상으로 조사하였으며 회수된 설문지 중 973부를 최종 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 첫째, 아동 대상 성폭력 예방교육의 내용으로는 '성폭력 위기 상황 대처 방법'이 가장 필요한 것으로 조사되었고, '성폭력 종류 및 사례', '성폭력 범죄 관련 법률 및 처벌규정'이 가장 요구도가 낮은 것으로 나타났으므로 이를 고려한 예방교육이 필요하다. 따라서 현재 성폭력 예방교육이 95.6% 선에서 이루어지고 있긴 하나 그 실효성이 떨어지므로 '성기' 중심의 생물학적 보건 개념의 성교육을 지양하고 아동에게 적절한 교수-학습 방법을 활용한 교육이 필요하다. 둘째, 아동 대상 성폭력 예방교육의 형식에 대해서는 전문적인 외부 강사가 특강 형태로 한 학기에 $1\sim2$회 정도 하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 국민공통기본교과와 관련된 교육이 필요하며, 모든 초등학생을 대상으로 한 학급씩 교실에서 실시할 필요가 있고, 학부모 대상 예방교육이 반드시 필요하며 교육청 등 지자체와 교육부에서 제작한 자료를 활용할 필요가 있다. 셋째, 아동 대상 성폭력 예방교육의 내용 및 형식은 교사들의 연령, 성별, 경력, 근무지역, 관련연수 경험 유무, 지도 학년 등에 따라 차이가 있으므로 예방교육에서는 이러한 점들을 고려할 필요가 있다. 넷째, 아동 대상 성폭력 예방교육에 대한 교사들의 참여의지와 관심이 매우 높았으므로 교사를 대상으로 한 연수 기회를 확대하고 검증된 프로그램과 자료를 제공하여, 관련 있는 국민공통기본교과나 담임 시간을 활용하는 것이 바람직하다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to prepare basic data to build an Oriental medicine support system for sexual violence victims through a survey on perceptions of Korean medical doctors about sexual violence. Methods: From 18 September 2019 to 24 September 2019, the online survey was conducted by both Korean medical doctors and students of the Korean Medical College. Thereafter, a quantitative statistical analysis was conducted on data from a total of 1,011 respondents, including 749 doctors and 262 students. Results and Conclusions: Many of the doctors and the students who answered were not fully aware of public services and legal systems related to sexual violence. Most Korean doctors had very little experience in treating victims of sexual violence. Most respondents thought that the number of designated Oriental medicine institutions for sexual violence victims should increase, and related education and Oriental medicine manuals would be essential. Most respondents said that information about trauma treatment would be essential. In addition, the Korean medicine group showed overall good scores in the perception of sexual violence. However, there were statistically significant differences in perception between males and female, and among age groups. We hope that this study could be used as basic data for establishing an Oriental medicine support system for sexual violence victims.

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore the experience of unwed mothers, to describe the structure of the understanding of this experience for mothers and to explore nursing interventions for this situation. Methods: The subjects were 4 unwed mothers. The data was collected by in-depth interviews and participant observations from February 2004 to June 2004. Each person was interviewed 4-5times, taking about one and a half hours for each session. Data was analyzed by the phenomenological method suggested by Giorgi. Result: The understanding of the experience of unwed mothers resulted in "lightness of sexual cognition", "knowledge deficit of pregnancy", "suffering form pregnancy", "ambivalence of the situation", "appearance of mothering", "worrying about society's view". Conclusion: Sex education programs, a one-round, formal lecture-type education is presently dominant, so that education and training programs can be systematized at school and home. The difficult point for unwed mothers to endure is that society doesn't accept them; therefore, we have to change our point of view, and try to work out the problems.

Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the barriers influencing the sexual conversation. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 200 midwives were selected through convenience sampling method from private and public clinics in Mashhad, North East of Iran. A self-structured questionnaire was used to collect the study data. Results: The mean age of subjects was $39.58{\pm}8.12years$ with $13.49{\pm}7.59years$ of work experience. A number of cultural conditions act as an inhibitory force for the midwives to address sexual issues with menopausal women. Menopausal women visit a doctor at the acute stage when emotional and physical problems make sexual discussion difficult for the midwives (86.5%). Other related causes for not having proper sexual conversation were insufficient knowledge (51.4%), inadequate education provided via public media through health providers (83.5%), midwives or their patient's shame (51.5%), and attempt to get help from traditional healers, friends, relatives and supplicants instead of midwifery staff (78.5%). Also, we found that sexual workshops, communication workshops, and work experiences had a significant influence in changing the views of midwives. Conclusions: Cultural barriers prevent the patients and providers from communicating effectively with each other, thus highlighting the need for sexual and communication workshops for the health care providers.
