The purpose of this study was to investigate the compliance and need for diet therapy among diabetics and their caregivers. A total of 625 respondents participated in this survey. Appropriate management for long-term blood glucose control and difficult-to-manage cases appeared to be diet therapy, physical activity, medical treatment and folk remedies, in that order. The most important educational avenues for diet therapy were books, magazines and TV, Most respondents were educated in diet therapy within a year after diagnosis and had practiced diet therapy for over four years. The most common diet therapy Practices were food selection and Quantity control. Of the specific problems in practicing diet therapy, time and labor, taste, and meal planning appeared to be equally difficult factors. The prevailing diet therapy skills were controlling food amounts at breakfast and supper, and selecting food for lunch and refreshments. Respondents practicing both skills were about 20% of the participants; this shows the need to improve the current situation. The nutrients most frequently considered in diet therapy practice were simple sugars (sugar and sweet goods) , total fats and cholesterol. Since the perception of the role of dietary fiber among respondents was very low, nutrition education about the importance of dietary fiber and food sources of dietary fiber was needed. Diabetics seemed to be concerned about diabetic menus. Three difficult problems in planning diabetic menus were daily menu planning, patient's preferences, and the calculation of calories. As a means of nutrition counseling, they preferred interviews. The higher the educational status and the lower the age, the higher the preference was for internet or PC counseling. Therefore, it is necessary to develop nutrition educational programs so that diabetics can obtain practical knowledge of diet therapy. Furthermore, it is also necessary to develop additional means of informing diabetics about menu planning, while still considering Korean dietary behavior.

Objectives: The nutritional status of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy is closely related to the compliance of nutrition education. However, as chemotherapy is conducted repeatedly, compliance with nutrition management is lowered, leading to malnutrition. Malnutrition is related directly to the quality of life after surgery in cancer patients. Therefore, this study examined the factors related to compliance with nutrition management during chemotherapy. Methods: In this study, five subjects with colorectal cancer undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy were interviewed in-depth using the Giorgi study method. The contents of the nutrition education visits and in-depth interviews were transcribed in the language of the subject after recording, and the appropriateness of the data was improved by reflecting the subject's actions and facial expressions. Results: After conducting the in-depth interviews for each subject, the experience of the subject's diet and adjuvant chemotherapy was drawn into two domains, six elements, and 26 sub-elements. In the cognitive domain, the patients experienced physical and psychological changes, and the need for nutrition management was recognized by analyzing the dietary causes of the diseases. In the domain of practice, a knowing-doing gap was formed, unlike the patient's will. Factors that inhibited compliance with nutritional management included digestive problems, sensory changes, loss of appetite, and social interaction stress. Conclusions: Dietary management is very important for patients receiving periodic anticancer therapy, and step-by-step training and personal monitoring based on the chemotherapy order is necessary to maintain the patient's will and social and environmental support.

본 연구는 당뇨병 환자들의 체중분포별 식사요법 이행 및 자료의 활용 실태를 알아보기 위 해 부산 지역에 있는 보건소 및 종합병원을 방문하여 설문 조사하였다. 조사대상자의 체중분포는 BMI법에 의해 저체중군, 정상체중군, 과체중군, 비만군으로 나누었으며 저체중군이 18.5%, 정상체중군이 51.5%, 과체중군이 16.9%, 비만군이 13.1%이었다. 유병기간은 59.2%가5년 미만이었고, 당뇨 관리 기간중 체중이 감소한 환자가 62.3%, 당뇨병으로 입원한 경험이 있는 환자는 35.4%, 합병증이 있는 환자는 38.5%를 차지했다. 체중분포별로 식사요법 지식 정도를 살펴 본 결과 각 항목의 총점에서 비만군 및 과체중군이 낮았으며 특히 하루 열량 필요량과 식품교환표에 관한 항목의 지식정도가 낮았다. 식사요법 실천 정도 역시 비만군 및 과체중군이 낮았으며 특히 외식시 실천정도가 가장 낮아서 외식시 식사요법 실천 방안에 대한 교육이 필요하였다. 당뇨병 환자들의 대부분은 식사요법 자료를 전문인을 통해 얻었고 식사요법이 중요하다고 인식은 하고 있었으나, 실행하는데 문제가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이에 앞으로는 환자들에게 식사요법을 실천할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고 아울러 실천정도를 향상시킬 수 있도록 하는 것이 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 식사요법 자료의 활용은 저 체중군이 50.0%, 정상체중군이 41.8%, 과체중군이 22.7%, 비만군이 35.3%이었으며, 식품교환표를 이용하여 식사요법을 실천하는 환자는 더욱 적었다. 식사요법 자료에서 당뇨병 환자들이 이해하기 힘든 내용은 식품교환표, 실제 섭취할 식품의 양, 끼니별 교환단위수 배분, 1일 총 열량 계산법 등이었으며, 가장 필요로 하는 내용은 식단작성방법, 식품 선택시 유의사항, 외식시 메뉴 선택방법 등이었다. 이처럼 당뇨병 환자들은 식사요법 지식이나 실천정도, 자료의 활용실태, 필요로 하는 내용 등이 체중분포에 따라 각기 달랐기에, 앞으로 당뇨병 프로그램을 만들 때 이들이 필요로 하는 내용, 이해하기 어려워하는 내용 등을 충분히 고려한 후 당뇨병 환자들의 체중분포별로 쉽고 체계적인 교육자료를 개발하여야 할 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this descriptive study was to gain basic data to develop a self-care protocol for the lymphedema patients. Method: The subjects of this study consisted of 115 patients with lymphedema from 8 hospitals and two community health and welfare centers in Busan and Seoul. The data was collected with questionnaire by self reporting of patients between March 2001 and December 2001. Data was analyzed by mean and percentage. Result: For self-care activities in daily life, compliance of 'use skin care preparations', 'use heat and cold', 'protect from local compression on affected limbs', 'protect from insect biting', 'use aids to protect affected limbs', 'take diuretics and take protein diet' did not reach to 50%. For self-care activities related to complex physical therapy, 28.7% of subjects complied with compression garment, 14.8% with manual lymph drainage, and 13.0% with exercise. 20.0% of subjects tried to treat with acupuncture and 13.9% with heat therapy. Conclusion: From this study, it is suggested that patients need to get a self-care education with correct information about self care activities and health care professionals need to develop more convenience self-care techniques of massage and exercise.
