The purpose of this study was to identify knowledge of universal precautions and its performance in practice. The research was conducted from November 2 to 30, 1998. A total 515 student nurses ; 249 from a baccalaureate nursing college and 266 from second and third year of a 3-year community nursing college were surveyed. The results are as following : 1. The average score for universal precautions knowledge was 270.41$\pm$19.43/300(range 150-300). The results showed that 99.2% of students avoid injury from used needles, 98.6% answered that they always wash their hands if they had contact with the patient's blood and they always dispose of used needles in special collectors (97.7%) for needles. But, 39.2% responsed that they dispose of used needles after recapping them. 2. The average score for universal precautions knowledge of the senior students in the 4-year college was the highest (277.65$\pm$13.99). 3. The average score for the performance of universal precautions knowledge was 53.18 $\pm$5.91(range 14-70). The items : ‘I cautiously avoid injury from the used needles’(4.92$\pm$0.33), ‘I always wash my hands if there has been contact with the patient's blood’(4.91$\pm$0.34), and ‘I always disposed of used needles in the appropriate collector’(4.89$\pm$0.42) showed the highest performance. However ‘I always dispose of used needles after recapping them’(2.19$\pm$1.39) and ‘I always use protection goggles when in danger of contamination’(2.19$\pm$1.20) showed low performance level. 4. The highest average score for universal precautions performance was shown among the second year students in 3-year nursing college (54.19$\pm$6.92) between the groups. It showed that the level of the universal precautions performance was higher for those who had education on university precautions prior to performance of the universal precautions than for those without any prior education. 5. The percentage of students who reported the experience of direct contact with patients' blood and/or body fluids was 42.30%. The experience of direct contact with blood and/or body fluids of the educational group was significantly higher than those were not educated. 6. The most frequent cause of the direct contact was ‘needle pricking and/or skin cut’(63.04%). The most frequent substance with which the students contact was ‘blood’(59.85%). The majority of the sample had answered that the mode of contamination was ‘unknown’(63.54%). The majority of the sample answered that strategies used after contamination included ‘washing with soap’(33.61%). Reviewing the chart of patients or asking other health professionals(28.85%). 7. The number of students who had the experience of a needle stick and/or skin cut was 145(28.16%). The clinical practice places where the incidents occurred were mainly in the internal medicine unit (45.07%) and the surgical unit (31.92%) followed by the intensive care unit and the emergency unit in order. The experience of a needle stick and/or skin cut happened during on intra-muscular injection 47.34% and intravenous injection 21.81%. The causes of the needle stick and/or skin cut were ‘putting the needle cap back on 77(35.81%)’. The number of students who took an appropriate post management blood test and/or vaccination was 27(18.62%). 8. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient between the knowledge of universal precautions and performance of universal precautions in practice showed a positive correlation.

Today, more chronically ill and handicapped people are being cared for at home by a family member caregiver. The task of caring for a family momber may mean that the caregiver has less time and money and more work which may result in increased fatigue and symptoms of illness. This study was done to examine the well-being of family caregivers. Fifty three family caregivers were interviewed. Concepts were measured using existing tools and included : Burden(25 item 5 point scale), Social sup-port (21 item 7 point scale), Health status defined by a symptom checklist(48 item S point scale), and Well -being defined by a quality of life scale (14 item 7 point scale) and caregiving activities. Data collection was done by interview and Q-sort. Social support and well - being were positively correlated as were symptoms and burden. Symptoms and burden were negatively correlated with social support and well-being. Items on the quality of life scale had a mean score range from 3.09 to 4.96. Quality of life related to income was lowest (3.09) but the desire to use more money for the patient was rated 2.90 on the burden scale where the item means ranged from 0.73 to 3.55. The high mean of 3.55 was for obligation to give care and the low 0.73 was (or not feeling that this was helping the patient. Mean scores for symptoms ranged from 0.26 to 2.15 with the 2.15 being for “worry about all the things that have to be done.” Over half of the patients were dependent for help with some activities of daily living. The caregivers reported doing an average of 3.40 out of five patient care activities including bathing (77.4%), shampooing (67.9%), and washing face and hands (49.1％), and 3.74 out of seven home maintenance activities including laundry (98.1％), cooking (83.0%), and arranging bed-ding(75.5%). The caregivers reported their spouse as one of the main sources of social support, including in times of loneliness and anger The mean score for loneliness as burden was 2.15 and ranked fourth and 31 (58.5％) of the sample reported being lonely recently and not being satisfied with the support received. Similarly anger caused by the patient was given a mean score of 2.13, and anger was reported to have been present recently by 38 (71.7%) of the sample and satis-faction with the support given was low. Having someone to help deal with anger ranked twelfth out of 21 items on the social support scale and had a mean score of 3.98 (range 3.49 to 5.98). Spouses were reported as a major source of social support but the fact that 50% of the caregivers were caring for a spouse, may account for the quality of this source of social support having been affected. These caregivers faced the same problems as others at the same stage of life. but because of the situation, there was a strain on their resources, particularly financial and social. In conclusion it was found that burden is correlated negatively to quality of life and positively to symptoms, but in this sample, symptoms and bur-den were scored relatively low. Does this indicate that the caregivers accept caregiving as part of their destiny and accept the quality of their lives with burden and symptoms just being a part of caregiving\ulcorner Does the correlation between the bur-den and symptoms indicate they are a measure of the same phenomenon or that the sample was of a more mobile, less burdened group of caregivers\ulcorner Quality of life was the one variable that was significant in explaining the varience on burden. Further study is needed to validate the conclusions found in this study but they indicate a need for nurses to ap-proach these caregivers with a plan tailored to each individual situation and to give consideration to interventions directed at improving quality of life and expanding social support networks for those caring for spouses.

Elderly problem from being aging society, especially health related problem of the elderly is very serious in many parts of this country. The reason is that most of geriatric disease are chronic and debilitating. The cause of chronic and debilitating disease are bad lifestyle and wrong health habit. Health is affected by a result of interaction of environment and human being. Because of difference of lifestyle between a city and a farm village, health behavior and health status of urban elderly and rural elderly may be dissimilar. Thus the purpose of this study was to grasp health behavior and health status, to identify the factors that effect on health status of the elderly. The subfects for this study, 488 persons aged 60 and over who live in Seoul or Cheonbuk Province. The preliminary survey was carried out from Aug. 19, to Aug. 22, 1996. With complement of questions, main survey was carried out from Sep. 29, to Oco. 10, 1996. The data was analysed by using in SPSS/PC+ program. The results were as follows. 1. General Characteristics 1) In the individual characteritics of the respondents, Seoulites aged 80 and over were 24.7%, the average age was 73.14 years old and rural residents aged 60-69 were 63.7%, the average age was 68.90 years old. In Seoul, 142 men and 101 women were respondents. In Cheonbuk Province, 101 men and 144 women were answered. In Seoul, those who graduated form elementary school were 35.4%, in farming region, illiteracy persons were 44.9%. In Seoul, 47.7% of respondents had spouse and in farming village, 66.1% of respondents had spouse. 39.0% of respondents who's imcome type was independent were Seoulite, and 66.1% of respondents who's income type was independent were rural residents. Employed persons in Seoul and in rural region were 16.9% and 62.0%. 2. Health Behavior 1) For the health behavior total score, the difference by region was not statistically significant. But the score of individual item was different and statistically significant. 2) For the Seoulites, younger person(p〈0.01), the female(p〈0.001) showed better health behavior and for the farming village residents, younger person(p〈0.01), the female(p〈0.01), independent income type(p〈0.05), employed person(p〈0.05) showed better health behavior. 3. Health Status 1) For the self-rated health status total score, the difference by region was statistically significant and individual item score was different and statistically significant. For ADL and IADL total score, the difference by region was not statistically significant, but individual item score was different and statistically significant. 2) For the Seoulites, woman(p〈0.05), lower education(p〈0.00l), independent income type(p〈0.05) showed higher score in self-rated health status. For rural residents, woman(p〈0.05), lower education(p〈0.01), independent Income type(p〈0.001) showed higher score in self-rated health status. For the Seoul residents, younger person(p〈0.001), employed(p〈0.05) showed higher score in ADL and IADL, and for the farm area residents, younger person(p〈0.001), higher education(p〈0.01), having spouse(p〈0.001), family type(p〈0.01) showed higher score In ADL and IADL. 3) For the Seoulites, drinking(p〈0.05), breakfast(p〈0.05), exercise(p〈0.05) and for the rural residents, drinking(p〈0.05), deep sleeping(p〈0.05), exercise(p〈0.01), washing hands before meal(p〈0.01) showed higher score In self-rated health status. For the Seoulites, deep sleeping(p〈0.05), exercise(p〈0.05) and for the farm village residents, fruit(p〈0.05), deep sleeping(p〈0.05), exercise(p〈0.001) showed higher score in ADL and IADL. We carried out this study to analyze the effectiveness through health education program in short term which was performed to use the special subject activities. This study was conducted on 63 students who were first grade in S Junior High School from Dec. 1995 to Feb. 1996. To analyze the effectiveness, we performed the Pretest, 1st Posttest, and 2nd Posttest for learned health knowledge. The results were as follows: 1. Most of the students(69.8%) responded that their health were good, and they got the information for health through Mass Com.. The students who had experience of health education were 15.9%, and the 77.8% of the respondents needed the health education. 2. The means of health knowledge on tests were 18.2(Pretest), 21.5(1st Posttest), and 21.4(2nd Posttest). Increase of health knowledge between Pretest and 1st Posttest was 10.9%. 3. The mean of differences between Pretest and 1st Posttest was 3.26, it was significant(p〈0.01). And the mean of differences between Pretest and 2nd Posttest was 3.19, it was significant(p〈0.01);however, the mean of differences between 1st Posttest and 2nd Posttest was not significant(p=0.2514). 4. The significant main contents were Health Facilities(d=0.42), Pregnancy and Labor(d=0.39), Hygiene(d=0.35), Safety Education(d=0.66), and Drug Abuse(d=0.60)(p〈0.01).

These kinds of diseases can be prevented simply by changing one's lifestyle to be more healthy. As a result of realization our interest in general health has become stronger. The most basic environment for human-being in society is the home. Humans secure their livelihood, physically. mentally, and socially at home. Therefore health care at home is very important. In modern society the responsibility for this task is traditionally given to housewives. The purpose of this study was to measure the degree of the health knowledge, health concern, health behavior and family health care of the married women and to analyze its related factors. The subjects for this study. 1,100 married women who studied at social education institutes and who had children attending an elementary school or a kindergarten, were surveyed with questionnaires. The preliminary survey was carried out from Aug. 7, to Aug. 19, 1995. With complement of questions, the main survey was carried out from Sep. 11, to Sep. 30, 1995. The data was analysed by using the SAS program. The results were as follows. 1. General Characteristics (1) In the individual characteristics of the respondents, the married women aged 30-39 were 54.8%, the average age was 39.8 years old. 33.8% of respondents had 6-10 years of marriage period, and the average marriage period was 14.9 years. Most of them(96.5%) lived with their husband. Those who graduated from college and graduate school were 53.4%. And 68.3% of respondents had no job. (2) In the family characteristics, 69.3% of the married women had 3 or 4 family members and the average family size was 4.1 person. 60.0% of the respondents had 2 children. Most of the respondents(90.9%) had no married children. 84.8% of the respondents lived with their parents. Those who reported that the total family income was more than 2,500,000 won a month were 32.3%. When making the decisions, 68.5% of the married women discussed the family matter with their husband. (3) In the individual characteristics of the respondents, 51.5% answered they were in good health. 61.7% of the married women answered they obtained the health knowledge through mass media. 24.3% of the women answered they had patients in their family in these days. 67.5% of the respondents answered they could generally control their health by themselves. 2. The Health Knowledge, Concern and Behavior. (1) For the health knowledge, the average score was 11.8. The lowest percent of correct answer(27.8%) was in the item about the skin tests for tuberculosis. And the highest percent(97.%) was in the item about taking a rest. (2) For the health concern, the married women had the highest concern about washing hands. But they were indifferent to smoking. (3) For the health behavior, the highest score was in "changing socks and underwear everyday", and the lowest one was in "taking a regular dental examination". 3. The Family Health Care (1) For the family health care, the item of "using a drug with the order of doctor or pharmacist" had the highest grade(4.78), and "consulting with the family physician about the health problem" had the lowest grade(2.03).

본 연구는 부산지역 10개 고등학생 634명을 대상으로 학생개인 급식 위생 및 학교 급식 위생에 대한 중요도 및 수행도 조사를 통해 급식 위생의 문제점을 파악하여 학생들의 급식 위생 향상에 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구결과에서 조사대상 학생의 49.1%가 위생교육 경험이 있었다. 개인 급식 위생 중요도 전체 평균점수는 3.81/5.00점, 수행도 3.48/5.00점이며, 학교 급식 위생에 대한 전체 평균점수 중요도 4.37점, 수행도 3.67점으로 개인 급식 위생이 학교 급식 위생보다 중요도와 수행도 점수가 낮았다. 개인급식 위생 중요도는 남학생이 여학생보다 '식사 전 손 씻기'와 '올바른 방법대로 손 씻기'(P<0.05), '식사 중 이동하거나 화장실 가지 않음'(P<0.01)에서 유의적으로 높음 점수를 보였다. 개인 급식 위생 수행도는 남학생이 여학생보다 '올바른 방법대로 손 씻기'에서 유의적(P<0.01)으로 높은 점수를 보였다. 학교 급식 위생 중요도는 여학생이 남학생보다, 2학년이 1학년보다 음식 위생과 환경 위생을 유의적(P<0.05)으로 높게 평가하였고, 학교 급식 위생 수행도에서는 여학생이 남학생보다, 2학년이 1학년보다 음식 위생, 기기 시설 위생을 유의적(P<0.05)으로 높게 평가하였다. 위생교육 경험자가 미경험자보다 개인 급식 위생의 중요도와 수행도 점수가 유의적(P<0.05)으로 높았고, 학교 급식 위생 중요도 평가점수도 경험자가 미경험자보다 환경 위생(P<0.05), 기기 시설 위생(P<0.05)에서 유의적으로 높은 점수를 보였다. 중요도 수행도의 격자도 분석에서 중요도는 높으나 수행도가 낮은 영역으로 개인 급식 위생은 '식사 전 손 씻기', '정수기 이용 시 지정된 컵 사용', '잔반통 주위에 음식 흘리지 않기'가 해당되었고, 학교 급식 위생은 '식판에 이물질 없음'이 해당되었다. 이상의 결과를 살펴볼 때 학생들의 손 씻기 실천을 비롯한 개인 급식 위생 실천이 미흡하므로 학교에서는 다양한 캠페인 및 홍보물 부착을 통한 위생교육을 강화시켜야 하겠다. 학교급식 위생에서는 식기류가 청결하지 않았으므로 이에 대한 원인 파악 및 개선과 더불어 급식 시설 환경 관련 항목들에서 수행도가 평균점수보다 낮은 항목들에 대한 영양(교)사들의 집중적인 관심이 필요하겠다. 무엇보다도 중학생들에 대한 위생교육 실시가 부족한 실정이므로 학생들의 개인 및 학교 급식 위생에 대한 중요도 인식 부각 및 실천 증진을 위해서는 학교에서의 집중적인 위생교육이 실시될 수 있도록 정책적인 방안도 필요하겠다.

본 연구의 목적은 가정배달 노인급식 수혜자의 위생지식수준과 가정에서의 위생관리 수행도를 조사하는 것으로 서울지역에서 가정배달 노인급식서비스를 제공하는 노인복지관과 종합사회복지관 2곳을 선정하고 수혜자를 무작위로 선정하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 총 120명을 선정하였고 조사에 참여한 97명의 응답을 자료 분석에 이용하였다. 응답자의 대부분은 여성이었고, 70세 이상이었으며, 초등학교 졸업이하의 학력을 보였다. 절반가량이 혼자 살고 있었고, 여러가지 만성질환으로 약을 복용하고 있었으며 스스로도 자신의 건강을 좋지 않게 인식하고 있었다. 위생지식 평가 결과 손 씻기의 필요성은 인식하고 있었으나 그 구체적인 방법에 대한 지식은 부족하였고, 가열처리 없이 섭취하는 과일의 세척, 소독 방법, 남은 음식의 보관 방법, 행주의 사용에 대한 지식수준이 낮게 나타났다. 배달급식을 받는 노인들의 가정 내에서 위생관리 수행도 평균 점수는 2.8점으로 높지 않았다. 남은 음식의 완전한 재가열, 유통기한 준수가 가장 잘 수행되고 있는 반면, 손 상처의 부적절한 처리, 행주와 도마의 관리, 달걀 등 오염도가 높은 식품 취급 후 손 씻기가 잘 수행되고 있지 않았다. 급식 수혜노인의 위생지식과 식품 취급습관은 일부를 제외하고는 일반 사항에 따른 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 위생지식 총점과 수행도 평균은 유의적인 양의 상관관계를 보였고(p<0.01), 세부 영역별로는 구분사용과 세척 및 소독 위생지식이 관련 수행도와 유의적인 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.01). 독거노인과 노인가정이 증가하면서 가정에서 노인들의 식품취급은 증가할 것이고, 외부에서 조리된 음식을 가정에서 섭취할 경우에도 섭취 전까지 보관이 식품의 안전성 확보에 중요하므로 노인들을 대상으로 하는 위생교육 프로그램의 개발에 본 연구 결과가 이용될 수 있을 것이다. 보다 효과적인 위생교육 프로그램의 개발을 위해서는 위생교육을 통해 습득된 위생지식이 실생활에서 실천되는 과정에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요인들에 대한 연구 역시 지속되어야 할 것이다.
