Objectives : Since most oral diseases are not life threatening, it can be assumed that an individual's behavior to maintain one's oral health is most likely influenced by one's oral health knowledge. Methods : Mothers whose children are attending five kindergartens and child care facilities in the city of Danjin, Chungnam were selected as subjects of this study. Out of a total of 230 questionnaires collected. A self-administered survey was conducted from April 1 to April 30, 2012. The data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0 (SPSS 19.0 K for window, SPSS Inc, USA) with the level of significance as 0.05. Results : 1. Most of the participants correctly answered questions on the oral health knowledge with a mean of 7.37 out of 9. 2. In the section of caring a child's oral health behavior, 'caring a child to brush his or her teeth three times a day' had the highest score of 3.45 out of 5. 3. Looking at caring a child's oral health behavior and a mother's oral health knowledge by general characteristics of mothers, there were no significant differences based on the mother's age, whether a mother is currently working or not, her level of education, and her monthly average income. Conclusions : Based on the above results, we can draw a conclusion that the lower the difference between the rate of correct answers and that of incorrect answers on mother's oral health knowledge to her child, the higher the mother's score of caring her child's oral health behavior, leading to better caring.

본 연구는 혈액투석을 받는 노인환자를 대상으로 건강문해력, 자가관리지식, 자가간호행위 수준을 파악하고 각 변수간의 관련성을 확인하고자 진행되었다. 자료수집은 인천광역시 내 9개 병원에서 혈액투석을 받고 있는 60세 이상 193명을 대상으로 진행되었다. 연구도구는 건강문해력, 혈액투석에 대한 자가관리지식과 자가간호 행위도구를 사용하였다. 자료의 분석은 t-검정, ANOVA, Pearson 상관분석을 하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 건강문해력은 17점 만점에 평균 13.66(±2.09)점, 자가관리지식은 15점 만점에 평균 13.33(±1.85)점, 그리고 자가간호행위는 80점 만점에 평균 63.95(±10.32)점이었다. 건강 문해력과 자가관리지식 간에는 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였고(r=.21, p=.003), 건강 문해력의 하위 척도인 독해력과 자가관리지식은 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다(r=.25, p=.001). 그리고 자가간호행위와 자가관리지식 간에는 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다(r=0.15, p<.05). 본 연구를 바탕으로 혈액투석을 받는 노인의 자가간호행위를 증진시키기 위해서는 개인별 건강문해력의 수준을 파악하여 이를 토대로 교육을 할 필요가 있겠다.

Purpose: The study was conducted to develop and test a hypothetical model which explains self-care behavior in patients with type 2 diabetes was established based on the Self-Determination Theory. Methods: The participants were 218 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus enrolled in an outpatient clinic of one endocrine center in Korea. The data were collected using questionnaires from April 5 through May 7, 2010. The descriptive and correlation statistics were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 15.0 and the structural equation modeling procedure was performed using the AMOS 7.0 program. Results: The results of this study showed that competence and autonomous motivation were the strong factors influencing self-care behavior in patients in this sample. Support from health provider for autonomy was a significant indirect factor on self-care behavior. These factors explained 64.9% of variance in the participants' self care behavior. The proposed model was concise and extensive in predicting self-care behavior of the participants. Conclusion: Findings may provide useful assistance in developing effective nursing interventions for maintaining and promoting self-care behavior in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of this study was to examine the health care expenditure of elderly single and elderly couple households whose head is more than 60 years old. The data analyzed for the study were Korean Retirement and Income Study(KRelS) conducted in 2007 by National Pension Corporation. The major finding of this study were as follows: First, the amount of health care expenditure of elderly single households was lower than that of elderly couple households. However, ratio of health care expenditure to total consumption expenditure of elderly single households was larger than that of elderly couple households. Second, the ratio of health care expenditure in consumption expenditure in this study was larger than the ratios in past analyse showed in the previous studies. Third, common factor affecting on health care expenditure of elderly single and elderly couple households was the existence of the family member with chronic disease or handicap. The health care expenditure of elderly singer households was influenced by income, gender and the ownership of national health insurance. The influence of income for elderly singer households seemed to be greater than for elderly couple households. The variables which affected health care expenditure of elderly couple households were age and housing tenure status. The amount and ratio health care expenditure were increased as the age increases. These results show that the health care expenditures for each groups varied according to socio-demographic variables and health-related behavior variables. It is suggested that there should be a discriminative health care policy for each elderly single and elderly couple households. In addition, the health care policy for the elderly households of which member has a chronic disease is certainly necessary. Especially a health care plan for the elderly single households with lower income is in need. For the elderly couple households, the priority group of health care policy would be the high age group.
