Objectives: The objective of this study was developing a community-based HIV prevention program to enhance the safe sexual behavior among rural Ethiopian female youth. Methods: A community-based HIV prevention program was developed using the Cox's Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior. The program development was carried out in four phases using a mixed research method: need-assessment which consisted of three steps (secondary-data analysis, key-informant interview, and focused-group interview); identification of preliminary program contents; expert's review of the program contents for the validity and cultural acceptability of the program; and refinement of the proposed program contents. Results: The HIV prevention program developed in this study consisted of three modules; the first module was for enhancing the youth's self-esteem, the second was for providing the youth with information regarding HIV/AIDS and safe sexual behavior, and the third was for improving the youth's communication skills and refusing skills. Conclusions: The need assessment and expert's review was very effective way to reflect sociocultural factors of rural Ethiopia for developing HIV prevention program for female youth. Further research is desirable for verifying the effectiveness of the developedprogram.

Building facilities does not necessarily guarantee more leisure activities and higher satisfaction for the public. It is essential to draft at the trend of leisure policy in Japan and learn from the experiences to set the policy direction best fitting future changes in Korea, as Japan has gone through comprehensive changes ahead of us. With this understanding, this study analyzed key leisure policies of Japan and examined the trend of changes of time. The followings are the findings of the research. First, Japan's leisure policies could be categorized into five stages and six terms. Second, leisure policies in Japan are being established as a local welfare system, not in the context of industrial perspective, to help people in local community. This is to make voluntary move by eliminating the factors that restrict social demand with an effort to expand leisure time and to secure and enhance access to leisure space. Third, Neighborhood leisure space has taken the center stage, in an effort to seek solutions to the issues of improving space utilization, restoring local community and encouraging participation of local residents. The conclusion drawn from the research is as follows. It is required to recommend the use of the specific term 'leisure' for leisure policies in Korea and for leisure space policies in Korea that are now facing sociocultural challenges similar to the ones emerging in Japan, measures are required to improve physiological access of local residents including information promotion, lifetime education and relationships enhancement along with the establishment of neighborhood leisure space.

In this study, the diffusion phenomenon of casual Hanbok which started in the mid 1990s and has been widely spread ever since with innovative features in design, materials, etc., was reviewed. Through the interviews of 45 People who have worn casual Hanbok the advantages and disadvantages of casual Hanbok related to its innovative characteristics were recorded and analyzed. Through the questionnaires distributed to 482 adults living in Seoul, Busan, and Darjeon, the factors related to the adoption of casual Hanbok were examined. The following are the results from the empirical study. First the adoption of contemporary casual Hanbok is due to the consumers′ positive response to the excellence of casual Hanbok′s various innovative characteristics. What the consumers perceived as innovative characteristics of casual Hanbok in the survey results validated the findings of the depth interview, identifying seven subcategories of the innovative characteristics of casual Hanbok; aesthetics, positive training effect on body and mind, difficulty in we, practicality, psychological attachment for "Our Clothes", economic efficiency, and symbolic compatibility. And consumers who think highly of such spiritual and identity values as national consciousness, nature affiliation, and community consciousness, had high evaluation to casual Hanbok However, consumers′ prejudice against Hanbok that Hanbok is for old people, uncomfortable, and not suitable to modern life, tuned out to have a negative influence on the adoption. From these results, it can be concluded that casual Hanbok of the late 1990s is a fashion with innovative characteristics, different from the one in the l980s worn by the demonstrators of popular movements and democratic movements, and it emerged as a new symbol with the characteristics of cultural movement like community consciousness and nature affiliation.

Multicultural scholarship in sport and exercise psychology should help us understand and apply cultural competencies for all to be physically active. In the present study, two Asian countries, Japan and Singapore, were chosen. The participation rate for physical activities among adolescent girls tends to be lower than that of boys in both countries. Thus, the purpose of the project was to gain knowledge and understanding about sociocultural factors that may explain adolescent girls' perceptions and behaviors toward sport, physical activity, and physical education (PE). A qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews with focus groups was used to understand meanings of physical activity among Buddhist Japanese, and Hindu Indians and Christian Chinese from Singapore. Each focus group consisted of four or five girls and female researchers. Based on the analysis, we created four themes which were "cultural identities", "Asian girls and sport/physical activities", "PE experiences", "motivation for future involvement". The Buddhist Japanese, Hindu Indian, and Christian Chinese participants each reported unique physical activity experiences, and all the participants were aware of how Asian culture may affect being physically active. Experiences of PE classes were similar but perceptions of their PE attire were different for Christian Chinese and Hindu Indian adolescent girls. Based on the results, the importance of nurturing cultural competencies and ways to encourage girls to be physically active throughout life were discussed.

본 연구는 백두대간보호구역에 대한 합리적인 보전 및 이용을 위한 권역별 지향성 설정을 위하여 실시하였다. 지향성 설정을 위해 첫 번째 단계로 자연환경보호, 자연경관보호, 농림업 진흥, 생활환경보호, 교육·문화·예술 진흥, 휴양·관광 진흥, 재난·재해관리 유형을 백두대간의 설악산, 태백산, 속리산 권역을 포함하는 유역별 지향성의 점유비율을 비교하여 결정하였다. 그러나, 7가지 지향성별로 각각의 유형이 대상지역에서 동일한 역할을 하지 않기 때문에 가중치를 적용하였다. 그 결과 백두대간 지역은 산림 및 환경보호에 대한 강력한 조치로 규제되고 있으며, 자연보호와 관련된 가중치가 다른 지역보다 높기 때문에 대부분의 지역이 자연환경보호 구역으로 분류되었다. 이상의 결과를 보완하기 위해서는 권역별 지향성과 가중치를 결정하기 위한 추가 연구 수행과 사회문화 요소 및 현장 조사 자료의 통합이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) measures the extent to which individuals feel, accept, and respond to their own bodies in a positive manner. Given the research need to explore positive body image and its associations with various sociocultural factors and related consequences among individuals with various cultural backgrounds, several studies have established the psychometric properties and factor structures of the BAS-2 in different languages and samples with different characteristics. The current study investigated the psychometric properties and measurement invariance of a Korean version of the BAS-2 in an older Korean adult population (599 older Korean adults with the average age of 70 years). Data were collected using both online and offline (paper-based) survey questionnaires. The results of exploratory factor analyses and confirmatory factor analysis evidenced the unidimensional factor structure and measurement invariance of the Korean BAS-2 among older Korean men and women, after dropping item 1. Scalar invariance was supported across gender, and men and women did not significantly differ in observed mean scores of the Korean BAS-2. The results also supported good convergent validity and criterion validity. Incremental validity was demonstrated by predicting self-esteem over and above measures of age, BMI, subjective financial and health status, body esteem, and ageism. High internal reliability and test-retest reliability over a 2-week period were confirmed. Overall, the results of this study support the reliable use of a Korean BAS-2 to measure positive body image among older Koreans after excluding item 1.

In spite of rapid sociocultural changes and an increase in the number of nuclear families in recent years, quite many families in Korea still have taken the extended family form where daughter-in-law provides care for the elderly parents. Even though the nature of the inter-generational relationship in Korea is reciprocal in many regards, most of the studies looked at the burden or costs of coresidence with the elderly parents while relatively little attention has been given to the positive side of the coresidence. This study is an attempt to fill this gap in the area. The purpose of this study is to examine not only the costs but also benefits of the coresidence with the elderly parents. We also explore whether there is a rural-urban differences in costs and benefits of coresidence and related factors. For the purpose, data were gathered from 876 daughters-in-law of three generational family both in rural and urban area, using structured questionnaire. The statistical methods used for data analysis were descriptive statistics, cross tables, and regression analysis with SPSS/PC+ program. The major findings of this study were as follows: Marital and economic status of the elderly parents, age, job status and filial responsibility attitude of caregiver, sibling support, and coresidence duration were the significant variables predicting the level of perceived benefits. Marital status of elderly parents, income, job status, educational level, and filial responsibility altitude of caregiver, residence region affected the level of perceived costs. Rural-urban differences are found in many aspects of coresidence experiences and related factors. Rural caregivers receive higher level of the sibling support, have more traditional final responsibility altitude and perceived less costs and more benefit than urban caregivers. There also are differences in the factors influencing the level of perceived costs and benefits between rural and urban area. Level of sibling support and final responsibility attitude have significant impact on both the perceived costs and benefits. But there are differences in terms of that perceived costs and benefits of urban caregivers are affected by job status of caregivers while those of rural caregivers are affected by educational level of caregivers and marital status of elderly. The results confirm that Korean caregivers experience both positive and negative aspects of coresidence and shows that the nature of the inter-generational relationships differ between rural and urban Korea.

Purpose: This study is an integrated literature review to analyze health problems and social determinants of multicultural adolescents in South Korea. Methods: An integrative review was conducted according to Whittemore & Knafl's guideline. An electronic search that included publications from 2018 to 2020 in the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, RISS, and KISS databases was conducted. Of a total of 67 records that were identified, 13 finally met full inclusion criteria. Text network analysis was also conducted to identify keywords network trends using NetMiner program. Results: The health problems of multicultural adolescents were classified into mental health (depression, anxiety, suicide and acculturative stress) and health risk behaviors (smoking, risky drinking, smartphone dependence and sexual behavior). As social determinants affecting the health of multicultural adolescents, the biological factors such as gender, age, and visible minority, and the psychological factors such as acculturative stress, self-esteem, family support, and ego-resiliency were identified. The sociocultural factors were identified as family economic status, residential area, parental education level, and parents' country of birth. As a result of text network analysis, a total of 41 words were identified. Conclusion: Based on these results, mental health and health risk behaviors should be considered as interventions for health promotion of multicultural adolescents. Our findings suggest that further research should be conducted to broaden the scope of health determinants to account for the effects of the physical environment and health care system.

본 연구의 목적은 개인의 흡연여부와 다양한 사회경제적 변수 간 영향관계가 성별과 장애여부에 따라 구분된 하위집단에서 차별적으로 나타나는지를 확인하는데 있다. 특히 본 연구는 일반인의 흡연 여부가 아니라 장애인을 대상으로 흡연의 여부가 장애인의 건강에 미치는 영향을 분석한 연구로 연구의 의의가 있다고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 장애인의 흡연율과 흡연 요인을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. WHO에 따르면 담배로 인한 사망자는 매년 600만명에 이른다. 담배는 심혈관질환, 폐질환, 암 등 비전염성질환과 조기 사망에 매우 강한 인과관계를 갖는 것으로 알려져 있다. UN이 제시한 지속가능 발전목표(Sustainable Development Goals, 이하 SDGs)는 건강한 삶의 보장과 모든 세대의 복지 증진(Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages)을 위해 WHO의 담배규제기본협약(Framework Convention on Tobacco Control)을 이행할 것을 요구하고 있다. 이것은 흡연의 모든 과정에서 발생하는 다양한 위협요인이 흡연자뿐만 아니라 경제, 사회, 환경 등 다양한 영역에서 다차원적으로 작용하는 위협하기 때문이다. 본 연구목적의 달성을 위해 본 연구는 2013년 국민건강영양조사를 활용하여 흡연과 선행연구에서 확인된 흡연 영향요인 간 인과관계를 확인하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 특히 성별과 장애여부에 따라 구분된 4개의 하위집단을 독립적 모형으로 하여 분석하였으며 흡연여부를 종속변수로 하는 로지스틱회귀분석을 활용하였다. 본 연구 분석결과 독립변수의 영향력 여부는 성별과 장애유무에 따라 구분된 각 집단별로 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내는 것이 확인되었다. 상대적으로 비장애집단에서 독립변수의 영향이 유의한 반면 장애집단에서는 유의성이 상실되는 경향을 보였으며 이 같은 경향은 특히 장애여성집단에서 더욱 명백하게 확인되었다. 분석결과를 기반으로 장애집단의 특성을 고려하지 않은 기존의 선행연구가 가진 설명의 한계를 확인하였으며 장애의 물리적·심리적 특수성을 충분히 고려한 연구모형을 통해 흡연과의 상관관계를 재분석해야 함을 함의로 제시하였다. 추후 장애인의 건강한 삶의 질을 개선하기 위하여 건강증진 영향들을 분석한 이후 건강증진에 기여할 수 있는 대표적인 변인들을 고려하여 적용하는 다양한 연구들이 수행되어져야 할 것으로 여겨진다.
