The present study was conducted to develop a Multi-dimensional Body Image Scale for Malaysian female adolescents. Data were collected among 328 female adolescents from a secondary school in Kuantan district, state of Pahang, Malaysia by using a self-administered questionnaire and anthropometric measurements. The self-administered questionnaire comprised multiple measures of body image, Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26; Gamer & Garfinkel, 1979) and Rosenberg Self-esteem Inventory (Rosenberg, 1965). The 152 items from selected multiple measures of body image were examined through factor analysis and for internal consistency. Correlations between Multi-dimensional Body Image Scale and body mass index (BMI), risk of eating disorders and self-esteem were assessed for construct validity. A seven factor model of a 62-item Multi-dimensional Body Image Scale for Malaysian female adolescents with construct validity and good internal consistency was developed. The scale encompasses 1) preoccupation with thinness and dieting behavior, 2) appearance and body satisfaction, 3) body importance, 4) muscle increasing behavior, 5) extreme dieting behavior, 6) appearance importance, and 7) perception of size and shape dimensions. Besides, a multidimensional body image composite score was proposed to screen negative body image risk in female adolescents. The result found body image was correlated with BMI, risk of eating disorders and self-esteem in female adolescents. In short, the present study supports a multi-dimensional concept for body image and provides a new insight into its multi-dimensionality in Malaysian female adolescents with preliminary validity and reliability of the scale. The Multi-dimensional Body Image Scale can be used to identify female adolescents who are potentially at risk of developing body image disturbance through future intervention programs.

대만의 분절된 사회보험 체계는 높은 계층화 효과를 보이는 보수주의 복지체제의 일반적 특성으로 간주된다. 그러나 대만의 사회보험은 서구의 보수주의 복지국가들과는 다른 차별성을 보인다. 첫 번째로 대만의 사회보험은 초기부터 다양한 급부를 제공하는 종합보험의 형식으로 발달하였다. 두 번째로 노동보험과 공무원보험의 계층화 효과가 서로 다르게 나타나는데, 노동보험은 노동자라는 보편적 지위에 기반한 탈계급적 보험 형식을 취한 반면, 공무원보험은 직종과 지위별로 분절된 체계로 발전하였다. 본 논문은 이러한 대만의 사회보험체계를 국가의 복지개입의 의도하지 않은 결과와 가입자들의 이해, 특히 공무원과 노동자 사이의 정치적, 경제적, 민족적으로 대립되는 정체성이 결합하여 만들어낸 결과임을 밝히고자 한다.

Firefighters and police officers have the third highest prevalence of obesity among 41 male occupational groups in the United States (US). However, few studies have examined the relationship of firefighter working conditions and health behaviors with obesity. This paper presents a theoretical framework describing the relationship between working conditions, health behaviors, and obesity in firefighters. In addition, the paper describes a detailed study plan for exploring the role of occupational and behavioral risk factors in the development of obesity in firefighters enrolled in the Orange County Fire Authority Wellness Fitness Program. The study plan will be described with emphasis on its methodological merits: adopting a participatory action research approach, developing a firefighter-specific work and health questionnaire, conducting both a cross-sectional epidemiological study using the questionnaire and a sub-study to assess the validity of the questionnaire with dietary intake and physical activity measures, and evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the body mass index as an obesity measure in comparison to skinfold-based percent body fat. The study plan based on a theoretical framework can be an essential first step for establishing effective intervention programs for obesity among professional and voluntary firefighters.

본 논문은 문재인 정부의 핵심 국정운영 전략으로 '알려진' 소득수도성장과 관련된 논의를 한국 복지체제의 관점에서 검토했다. 소득주도성장 전략에 대한 다양한 논점들을 제시했지만 소득주도성장 전략은 1980년대 이래 공급중심의 성장전략이 장기침체를 유발하고, 불평등을 심화시켰다는 점을 고려하면 수요측면을 강조한 시의 적절한 대안 담론으로 보인다. 특히 소득주도성장 전략은 한국 복지체제의 관점에서 사회지출이 인적자본을 향상시켜 성장에 기여한다는 사회투자전략의 협소한 공급측면의 논리와 사회지출을 안정화 장치로 접근했던 전통적 접근을 넘어 생산과 소비를 선순환시키는 중요한 성장 동력으로 위치시켰다는 점이 중요하다. 하지만 본 논문은 단순히 임금을 높이고, 사회지출을 늘린다고 해서 총수요가 증가하고 투자와 생산이 증가해 경제가 성장하는 것은 아니라는 것을 확인했다. 더욱이 경험적 연구에 따르면 대외부문과 부채를 분석에 포함할 경우 한국 성장체제의 임금주도성은 약해지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 이유로 본 연구는 실질임금의 증가와 사회지출 증가가 경제성장과 선순환하기 위해서는 정부의 정교한 정책개입이 필요하다는 결론을 내렸다.

Objectives: This study aims to contribute to devising systems for family caregivers of dementia patients by examining the state of oral care of dementia patients, and depression and social support among family caregivers of dementia patients. Methods: Family caregivers of dementia patients in the metropolitan area were selected in this study. The inclusion criteria were individuals who have provided care for a dementia patient at home for at least six months and those who come in contact (including phone calls) with the patient at least twice a week. Results: Oral health knowledge of the elderly, caregiving burden, depression, and social support were examined. The mean scores for oral health knowledge of the elderly and caregiving burden were $57.11{\pm}16.94$ out of 100 and $17.33{\pm}8.61$ out of 48, respectively. Further, the mean caregiving behavior score, depression score, and social support score were $8.49{\pm}13.71$ out of 100, $5.11{\pm}3.05$ out of 10, and $72.75{\pm}17.03$ out of 100, respectively. Factors affecting oral health knowledge of the elderly were examined. The results showed that the level of oral health knowledge of the elderly increased with an increasing perception of a need for oral health education (p<0.05), caregiving burden (p<0.01), and social support (p<0.01). Conclusions: These findings suggest that developing and popularizing oral care intervention programs for family caregivers of dementia patients are necessary to ensure systematic oral care for dementia patients.

Purpose: This study was done to investigate the degree of self-efficacy, transplant-related knowledge, and other factors affecting compliance with a therapeutic regimen for liver transplant recipients. Methods: Participants were 140 patients who had received a liver transplant at a tertiary hospital in Y City, Gyeongnam Province and made regular hospital visits as outpatients. A self-report questionnaire was used to collect the data and collection was done from December 4, 2017 to January 26, 2018. Data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations, and t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients. Multiple linear regression was performed using SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. Results: Participants scored $113.29{\pm}20.95$ (out of 150) on self-efficacy, $16.38{\pm}3.62$ (out of 18) on transplant-related knowledge, and $148.30{\pm}31.06$ (out of 200) on compliance with the therapeutic regimen. Analyzed of correlations among participant's self-efficacy, transplant-related knowledge, and compliance with the therapeutic regimen showed a significant positive correlation between self-efficacy and compliance with the therapeutic regimen (r=.64, p=.001), but no significant correlations were found between self-efficacy and transplant-related knowledge (r=-.01, p=.912) or between transplant-related knowledge and compliance with the therapeutic regimen (r=.06, p=.458). Multiple regression analysis showed that factors affecting compliance with the therapeutic regimen were state of re-transplantation (${\beta}=.17$, p=.016) and self-efficacy (${\beta}=.53$, p=.001). Conclusion: There is a need to apply a differentiated nursing intervention program considering the differences in patients' self-efficacy, transplant-related knowledge, and compliance with the therapeutic regimen.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effects of a group computerization cognitive rehabilitation program on cognitive function in patients with cognitive impairment. Methods: The subjects of this study comprised 34 patients with cognitive impairment (15 males and 19 females) who were randomized into two groups. The experimental group (n = 17) were trained with the group computerization cognitive rehabilitation program, while the control group (n=17) received traditional cognitive therapy. The interventions for both groups were performed for 1 hour per day, once a week for 12 weeks. The cognitive functions of the subjects before and after the experiment were measured using the Korean mini-mental state examination (K-MMSE), global deterioration scale (GDS), clinical dementia rating (CDR), and Lowenstein occupational therapy cognitive assessment (LOTCA). A paired t-test was conducted to examine the intragroup differences before and after the experiment, and ANCOVA was performed to check intergroup differences. Results: The intragroup comparison results showed that the cognitive function of the group that were trained with the group computerization cognitive rehabilitation program improved after the experiment more than for the group that received traditional cognitive therapy. The intergroup comparison results showed significant differences in orientation, visual perception, and visuomotor organization between the two groups. Conclusion: The results of this study confirmed that the group computerization cognitive rehabilitation program was more effective in improving cognitive function than the traditional cognitive therapy in patients with cognitive impairment. Based on the results of this study, the group computerization cognitive rehabilitation program can be used as an effective intervention method for patients with cognitive impairment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the optimal diabetes duration for bone regeneration experiments in an alloxan monohydrate (ALX)-induced diabetic rabbit calvarial defect model by evaluating the association between diabetes duration and bone healing capacity. Methods: Twenty-four New Zealand white rabbits were used. Twenty-two rabbits were injected with 100 mg/kg of ALX to induce experimental diabetes. These rabbits were divided into 4 groups, including a control group and groups with diabetes durations of 1 week (group 1), 2 weeks (group 2), and 4 weeks (group 3). Calvarial defects were created at 1, 2, and 4 weeks after ALX injection and in the control rabbits. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning was performed on the day of surgery and at 2 and 4 weeks after surgery. The rabbits were sacrificed 4 weeks after surgery, followed by histological and immunofluorescence analysis. Results: The diabetic state of all diabetic rabbits was well-maintained throughout the experiment. Reconstructed 3-dimensional CBCT imaging showed more rapid and prominent bone regeneration in the control group than in the experimental groups. Histological staining showed notable bone regeneration in the control group, in contrast to scarce bone formation in the experimental groups. The appearance and immunoreactivity of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B and osteoprotegerin did not show notable differences among the groups. Conclusion: ALX administration at 100 mg/kg successfully induced experimental diabetes in rabbits. The effect of diabetes on bone healing was evident when the interval between diabetes induction and the intervention was ${\geq}1$ week.
