Purpose: In this study an analysis was done of participants who were educated using a dental health program as compared to a control group who only used a booklet on the subject. The participants were elementary school children and the education focused on dental health knowledge, behavior, health belief, and self-efficacy. Methods: Sixth grade students from two different schools in D-city were assigned to an experimental group which was educated using a dental health program over five weeks and a control group which was educated with a dental care booklet. Results: The experimental group showed significant increases in knowledge, behavior, sensitivity, severity, benefit, belief, and self-efficacy indicating that the program was effective, but there were no significant differences in self-efficacy, sensitivity, severity, importance, or disability between the two groups. Significant differences between the groups were found for knowledge, behavior, and benefits regarding dental health. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that a dental health program for elementary school students is effective in increasing their knowledge and behavior regarding dental health but the lack of significant differences in several of the variables in this study may be related to the education provided to the control group using a booklet.

Purpose: Pediatric hand trauma is common and sometimes causes deformity or disability. The incidence and etiologies of hand trauma in children are different from those in adults. This study analyzed the characteristics of pediatric hand trauma cases and patients over a 15-year period. Methods: We conducted a retrospective medical record review of 3,432 children (2,265 boys, 1,167 girls, under 18 years of age) with hand injuries from January 2005 to December 2019. We evaluated the sex distribution and injury etiologies. Injuries were classified by type as burns, amputations, crushing injuries, lacerations, extensor and flexor tendon injuries, open and closed fractures, and nerve injuries. Results: Among the pediatric hand injury patients, males were predominant (1.94:1). Simple lacerations (58.4%) were the most common injury type, followed by fractures (22.8%). Lacerations and burns tended to be common in younger age groups, while tendon injuries, nerve injuries, and crushing injuries were more frequently encountered in older age groups. Conclusions: Hand trauma prevention strategies should be established considering the frequent trauma etiologies in specific age groups. An awareness of age-specific characteristics of pediatric hand trauma patients will be helpful to prevent hand trauma.

본 연구의 목적은 현대사회에 중요하게 대두되고 있는 사회·정서발달과 학습관련 사회적 기술에 관하여 동물을 매개로 한 치료프로그램이 발달장애 아동들을 대상으로 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것에 있다. 연구대상은 특수학교에 재학 중인 발달장애 아동으로, 동물매개치료 프로그램은 총 12회기로 구성하여 진행되었다. 프로그램의 효과성을 확인하기 위해 실험집단과 통제집단으로 구분하여 측정 항목별 사전과 사후로 나누어 실시하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 25.0을 사용하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 동물매개치료 프로그램에 참여한 실험집단의 발달장애 아동은 비참여 통제집단과 비교하여 사회정서 발달의 전체항목에서 유의미한 차이(z=-2.20, p<.05)를 보였으며, 하위요인으로는 교사에서의 비의존성, 또래와의 상호작용, 성취동기에서 통계적으로 유의미한 값을 나타냈다. 둘째, 동물매개치료 프로그램을 실시한 발달장애아동의 학습관련 사회적 기술은 모든 요인에서 유의미한 효과(z=-2.20, p<.05)가 있는 것으로 도출되었다. 결론적으로, 동물매개치료 프로그램이 발달장애 아동의 사회·정서발달과 학습관련 사회적 기술에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 발달장애 아동들의 건강한 삶을 위한 사회·정서발달과 학습관련사회적 기술을 높이기 위해서는 더욱 구체화되고 체계적인 프로그램의 개발과 적용이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

Accidents involving children are an important cause of death and disability. They also have enomorous financial implications. In order to prevent childhood accidents, research and education for safety should be strengthened. The purpose of this study was to determine how often young children have accidents and what factors affect the accident rate. The sample consisted of 771 children who were in the second, third and forth grades of two elementary schools located in Kyung-gi Province. One school had students from middle class families living in apartment complexes and the other, students from lower income families mainly living in single houses. The questionnaires included items on the occurance of accidents and the parents' attitudes regarding accidents during the academic year from March 1997 to February 1998. The Questionnaires were distributed to conventiently selected students to be compeleted by their parents and collected during the period of May 28, to June 6, 1998. The data were analyzed using SAS PC statistical package. The results of the study are as follows ; 1. Of 771 student subjects, 393 had 887 accidental injuries during the study period. 2. The month, the day and the time with the highest accident rate were May, Sunday, and between 1 and 4 p. m. each. 3. In the analysis of the location where the injury took place, the most frequent place was on around their homes followed by school and, then, inside the home 4. Most of the accidents were caused by carelessness on the part of the children and the most frequent type of injury was an abrasion. 5. Children most injured their legs 6. They were treated at home most often and usually emergency treatment was performed by family members with, disinfection being the main type of first aid. Cost of the treatment ranged from 8,000 to 20,000 won in most cases. 7. House type and parents' education level were statistically significant in chi-square analysis. 8. Parents educate their children about traffic safety most frequently followed by fire safety and, then, prevention of violence. 9. Parents think that prevention of violence should be the most important part of injury prevention education both at school and home. 10. To identify factors related to accident occurrence, multiple logistic regression was performed and the main factors were birth order and house type.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of death in the pediatric population in Korea. In addition, it can cause disability in children and adolescents, with physical and mental consequences. This causes a substantial burden on the health care system and occurs globally and not just in Korea. We searched and reviewed current data on the epidemiologic characteristics of pediatric TBI in Korea. Our review provides the recent epidemiological trend mainly focusing on incidence and mortality along with worldwide reported data. This review will be helpful to understand the global epidemiology of pediatric TBI and its differences between countries.

본 증례에서와 같이 외배엽 이형성증 환자에서는 획일화된 치료 방법은 없다. 술자 입장에서는 기능적 또는 형태적으로 완벽한 장치가 아니라 할지라도, 외배엽 이형성증의 무치악 환아에게는 심미적 요구가 만족됨으로써 자존감을 드높일 수 있는 치료가 될 수 있다. 특히 외배엽 이형성증 환아는 어린 나이에 의치 장착을 시작하기 때문에 환자의 나이와 구강상태, 심미적인 요구 수준, 저작 방법 등 여러가지를 고려한 개별적 맞춤화 과정을 통해 치료방법을 찾는 것이 중요하다. 또한 환자의 성장에 맞춰 장치를 교환해주며 타 과와의 활발한 교류로 최선의 치료를 해주는 것이 추천되며, 술자와 환자 및 환자 보호자간의 충분한 대화를 통해 치료 방법을 신중하게 결정하는 것이 좋다.
