Objectives: We investigated the impacts of indoor plants on indoor air quality and occupational health, focusing on allergic rhinconjunctivitis and stress among employees in new office buildings. Methods: A total of 34 employees working at new public office buildings were enrolled as subjects (n=17, with indoor plants) and as a control (n=17) group. Before and after introducing indoor plants for three months, indoor air quality measurements including VOCs and aldehydes and questionnaires on sick building syndrome, AR symptoms (ARIA based), stress (DASS 42, KOSS, and SACL), and indoor characteristics were performed and statistically analysed. Results: Among the 34 enrolled subjects, 19 were included in the probable AR subject group (subjects with indoor plants, n=8, control n=11) and completed all questionnaires. Statistical analyses were done for total, AR subject groups, and controls. As a result, it was confirmed that major indoor air pollutants decreased after the introduction of indoor plants (p<0.5). Among major symptoms of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, watery rhinorrhea, nasal stuffiness, and nasal itching indexes decreased (p<0.5, respectively). A decrease was noted in some areas of work-related stress indexes (mainly KOSS) among the subject group (total and AR) and a decrease of indoor environmental attractiveness among the control group (total and AR) (p<0.5, for all). Conclusions: Indoor plants may help reduce indoor air pollutants and decrease AR symptoms and work-related stress of employees in newly built office buildings. Various further follow-up studies on the mechanism of environmental, physical, and emotional influences and utilization of indoor plants in association with allergic diseases will be needed.

Burns in children result in the loss of precious life, or if the child survives, in much suffering from physical, emotional, social, and economic problems. These burn accidents to children happen in the bustle of family life and frequently without any warning. With this background information, this study was designed to identity types of burns in children and mothers' attitudes towards, and knowledge of burn prevention, in order, to not only, in still a safety consciousness regarding the seriousness of burn accidents and the strengthening prevention, but also as basic data towards the development of an educational program aimed at prevention. From May 1 to May 25 in 1997, data were collected from the mothers of children attending five day care centers and kindergartens located in Seoul, which had been selected for the study. The tools used for the study, which were developed by the researchers, surveyed the type of burns suffered by children, mothers' knowledge of burns and attitudes toward burn accidents. The data were analyzed through real numbers percentages and analysis was done using SPSS computer programs. The results of the study show that the most frequent type of burn accidents were those caused by hot water(55.4%) and these were frequently related to everyday habits that easily lead to danger. Further, the first aid treatment following a burn was weak. The majority of the mothers had not instructed their children on who to contact in the case of a fire, first aid for burns, or how to take escape in the case of a fire. This left the children in a defenseless position in case of a fire. The mothers showed a lack knowledge, on what to do when a blaze is discovered, how to put out a fire, first aid for burns, escaping from a fire and appropriate water temperature, in that 50% of the time they answered incorrectly. From this study a prevention program, HIPP (Home Injury Prevention Program) could be developed that includes fire prevention habits and first aid for burns. This program can be used with kindergarten and elementary school children for group education on fire prevention and can be used as a foundation for construction of a system of facilities and equipment to prevent fires and also prevent injury from fires.

Purpose: This study is a descriptive and comparative study that compares health state and school adaptation between children in divorced family and in normal family. Study results will provide a basic data for the development of an intervention program designed to help children in divorced family adjust to their crisis. Method: The study subjects consisted of 700 children in 4th. 5th or 6th elementary school grade, residing Seoul and Kyunggi regions. Among these subjects, 123 were children with divorced family and 577 were children with normal family. The health status of the subjects was measured by Health Symptom Questionnaire developed by Shin and revised by the investigators. The instrument consisted of 30 items measuring physical and emotional health symptoms. The level of school adaptation of the subjects was measured by School Adaptation Scale developed by Lee, which consisted of 4 dimensions with 20 items what measures relationship with peer students, learning activity, observance of regulation, and participation of school activity. The investigators visited the schools and collected data in the classes using the questionnaire after explaining the purpose and procedures of the study to the children. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, $\yen\"{o}2$-test, t-test, ANOVA using the SPSS PC + statistical program. Result: First, the mean health state score in children with normal family (M=11.99) was higher than that in children with divorced family (M=19.15), showing a significant difference (t=-6.51, p=.000) between the two groups, which suggests that children with normal family have better health state than children with divorced family. Second, the mean school adaptation score in children with normal family (M=38.99) was higher than that in children with divorced family (M=26.97), showing a significant difference between the two groups (t=104.07, p=.000), which suggests that the school adaptation of children with normal family is better than that of children with divorced family. Third, in comparison of health state between the two groups by general characteristics. there were significant differences between the two groups in sex. the most contributing factor to health status of the children, school year. birth order, religion, school achievement, amount of monthly pocket money, parents level of formal education, occupation of parents, economic status (p<.05). Forth, in comparison of the level of school adaptation between the two groups by general characteristics, there were significant differences between the two groups in most variables (p<.05), suggesting that children with normal family had better capacity of school adaptation than children with divorced family. Conclusion: As a result. this study showed that the parent's divorce had great influence on children's health status and school adaptation capacity. The implication for nursing is that there is a need to develop supportive interventions for the high-risk children who have decreased health states and school adaptation capacity due to the divorce of their parents. In addition, it is recommended that further studies should be conducted to explore protective factors for the prevention of health and adaptation problems in children.

가구분야는 인간과 밀접한 제품으로 많은 발전을 해왔지만, 근대화 이후 전통가구는 거의 자취를 감추었다. 이는 생활양식이 바뀌었다기보다 편의와 형태를 추구한 서양식 가구의 다양성을 중시했기 때문이다. 그러나 이러한 다양성은 한계에 도달했으며 가구뿐만 아니라 디자인분야 전반에 걸쳐 한 단계 나아갈 새로운 역할의 필요성이 대두되었으며, 이를 위한 문제해결방법으로 건축을 비롯한 디자인전반에서 동양의 정신계에 근거를 두고 있는 유심적 가치가 제시되었다. 이는 사라졌던 전통가구가 내포한 유심성에 주목하려는 것이며, 보다 자연적이고 인간과 친숙한 전통가구의 감성적이고 심리적인 영향이 가치를 인정 받은 것이라 할 수 있다. 전통가구가 오랜 시간을 사용되었던 것은 가구가 갖는 기능성보다 주변공간과 유기적으로 연계하는 유심적 성향을 지니고 있기 때문이다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 조선시대 한옥에서 사용된 전통가구를 중심으로 기본적 기능 이외의 역할을 귀납적으로 분석하여 사용자에게 나타난 추가적인 효과를 규명하고자 하였다. 이러한 유심적 역할은 사용자에게 기능 이외의 역할을 제공하고, 가구의 공간지배가 가능하게 하였다. 이러한 역할의 근거로 전통가구가 유물적 관점에서는 추출할 수 없는 사용성 확장, 공간변이, 공간형성과 이동, 위계형성에서 나아가 사용자와 상호작용이 가능한 단계에 이르는 많은 역할을 해왔음을 규명하였다. 이를 통해 전통가구의 유심적 역할이 적용된 현대 공간에서 나타날 기대효과와 가능성의 사례를 통해 지속 가능한 디자인은 물론 상호작용이 가능한 가구의 발전방향을 제시하였다.

This study was designed out to develop a home health care service for nurses working in community care services. This study investigates actual conditions at welfare institutions related to health needs the demands of clients, and the state of home health care services we hope that this study will improve upon the current service system. In Korea home health care services are still developing and only new becoming a part of the health care supply system. The data was collected by recording the client home nursing assessments modified to the situation of UTMB home health agency. In this study 107 clients were selected for home care who needed care for physical and mental deficits. The study lasted from March to November of 1995 at one of the welfare service institutions in Chunchon city. The results show that those who most frequently needed care services were over 50 years old with a health deficit of 80.3%, followed by sex as women who needed care at 59.8%. 50.5% of the clients had very little education. 99.1% of the clients live with their family, and a medical diagnostic analysis reveals that 73.9% of the 5 year period of illnesses were the following : 38.8% - muscular -skeleton system disorder, 24.4% - hypertension and stroke, 25.7% sole disease of arthritis. For behavioral conditions 43.3% of the patients were without care services, 56.6% of the patients were taking treatment that 73.5% of those were taking medication. The most main complaint of patients were 22.4% of pain in the extremities, next were 16.8% of a limitation of body activities, 15.0% was lumbo-sacralgia. According to the investigator who was a senior student nurse, the following suggestions were made: 32.7% for curative medical services, 29.9% for physical exercise, 19.6% for emotional support. Consultation nursing services consisted of 67.2% for physical therapy, 11.2% for the maintaining healing, 9.4% for counseling. The patients at home, required assistance most frequently for muscular-skeleton problems under the category of physical systems (33.3%). But, on the other hand, 49.5% of the patients required care givers at home, 28.2% had a knowledge deficit, 21.0% had malnutrition, 18.4% had bad impaired communication. The character of health problems were devided into chronic disease(67.0%), accidents(I3.1%), and general disease(15.9%). 86% of the disabled client had an impairment of the physical system. Eating (86.9%) , Toileting(77.6%), and personal care showed much the same of ADL condition, the level and range of achievement of mobility, the most frequently self performed was 81.3% only in a room size area, and 40.2% were completely dependent when going out. Although there were a large number of home care services in th community at these welfare institutions, many clients needed a variety of curative services. As policy changes have gathered momentum, responsibility for the development of a more suitable program was demanded by the clients from the community.

문화컨텐츠의 개발과 관련된 일체의 기술을 CT라고 한다. CT는 문화컨텐츠시장을 둘러싼 여건들의 변화와 더불어 같이 변화해야 한다. 문화컨텐츠 시장이 변화하고 있다. 그 변화는 다섯까지 정도로 요약할 수 있다. 첫째, 문화상품 소비자들의 취향이 감각적으로 변하고 있다. 둘째, 문화상품 소비 경험이 늘어나면서 상품의 인지적(cognitive) 특성에 둔감해지고 있다. 셋째, 소비자들의 문화적 안목의 성장이 공학적 기술의 발전속도를 추월하고 있다. 넷째, 문화산업의 규모가 커지면서 컨텐츠 개발의 목표가 "성공하는 상품"에서 "실패하지 않는 상품"으로 변하고 있다. 다섯째, 문화적 다양성이 높아지고 있다는 점이다. 이런 변화는 문화상품 개발자와 소비자들 간의 감성 차이를 크게 만들어 커다란 감성적 괴리를 만든다. CT에서 감성공학은 이런 문제에 대한 중요한 한 가지 대안이 될 수 있다 감성공학은 체성 감성과 심미적 감성의 배후 원리와 응용기술을 연구하는 분야다. 구체적으로는 이들 감성의 생리적 혹은 심리통계적 지표를 통한 감성측정과 감성을 유발하는 지각적 속성의 파악이 기본이 된다. 이를 토대로 다양한 응용기술을 개발하고 산업화하려 노력한다. 문화컨텐츠 산업에 대한 몇 가지 오해 가운데 하나는 이들 분야가 반짝이는 아이디어 나 어느 개인의 재능 하나로 승부를 걸 수 있는 분야라고 믿는 것이다. 그러나 많은 문화컨텐츠 산업을 면밀히 관찰해보면 그렇지 않다는 것을 알 수 있다. 많은 자본이 들어가거나 세련된 마케팅 기술이 작용하고 있는 경우가 대부분이다. 우리에게는 부족한 요소들이다. 이를 극복하기 위한 방법 가운데 하나가 감성에 대한 과학적이고 공학적인 접근이 될 수 있다. 감성공학은 외국과 견주어 아직까지 나름의 경쟁력을 갖고 있는 분야이기 때문이다.

사람들은 스트레스라고 하면 보통 부정적인 측면만을 생각하곤 하는데 스트레스는 긍정적인 측면도 있고 부정적인 측면도 있다. 긍정적이든 부정적이든 스트레스는 변화로부터 기인한다. 변화는 삶에 있어서 필연적인 것이다. 결국 사람들은 어쩔 수 없이 스트레스를 경험할 수밖에 없다. 경찰이라는 직업은 업무 특성상 스트레스를 많이 받는 직업들 중의 하나이다. 경찰업무는 신체적${\cdot}$감정적인 긴장 상태에 이르게 함으로써 경찰공무원들의 스트레스를 유발시킨다. 위험, 좌절, 과도한 업무부담, 가족 및 동료 그리고 주민들의 이해 부족은 경찰공무원의 스트레스를 유발시키는 요인이 된다. 그렇기 때문에 뉴욕에 본부를 둔 미국 스트레스 연구소는 경찰을 스트레스가 가장 많은 10개 직업들 중 하나로 선정하기도 했다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 의료 모델과 조직보건 모델의 관점에서 경찰공무원의 스트레스 관리방안을 제시하였다. 의료 모델에서는 경찰공무원 개인적 차원에서 제거, 대처, 상담을 통한 스트레스 관리방안을 제시하였으며, 조직보건 모델에서는 경찰관리자의 차원에서 첫째, 인사제도의 합리화, 둘째, 복지 증진, 셋째, 경찰조직의 민주적 운영, 넷째, 원만한 대민관계 유지, 다섯째, 경찰공무원 가족을 위한 스트레스 관리 프로그램 개발 등을 제시하였다.
