목 적: 한국인 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증 환자의 연령과 성별에 따른 사회 인구학적, 임상적, 수면 구조, 수면 호흡 변인의 차이점을 파악하고자 하였다. 방 법: 야간 수면다원기록법을 통하여 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증으로 확진된 308명을 대상으로 구조화된 면담을 통하여 사회 인구학적 정보, 과거 병력, 약물 복용, 수면과 관련된 과거력에 관한 정보를 획득하였다. 주관적인 수면의 질과 주관적 졸리움 정도를 측정하기 위하여 피츠버그 수면의 질 척도(Pittsburgh sleep quality index, PSQI)와 엡워스 졸림증 척도(Epworth sleepiness scale, ESS)도 작성하도록 하였다. 결 과: 전체 대상 308명 중에 남자가 239명(77.6%), 여자가 69명(22.4%)이었으며, 평균 연령은 49.5${\pm}$13.3세였다. 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증 환자들을 연령별로 나누어 살펴 본 결과, 연령에 따른 수면 구조의 변화 방향은 대체로 정상노화 과정과 일치하지만 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증의 영향으로 변화의 폭이 더 컸다. 수면무호흡증의 심각도는 연령의 증가에 따라 유의하게 변하지는 않았다. 30대에서 60대 사이에서는 체질량지수와 호흡장애지수 간의 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 70대 이후에서는 주관적인 졸림증은 덜 호소하면서 주관적인 수면의 질 저하는 더 호소하였다. 남성에서 무호흡의 심각도가 여성에 비해 두드러졌고, 수면의 구조적 변화도 남성에서 더 크게 나타났다. 연령 증가에 따라 여성 수면무호흡증 환자의 비율이 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 결 론: 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증이 있는 경우, 연령 증가에 따른 수면 구조의 변화는 정상 노화와 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증 모두의 영향을 받았다. 수면무호흡증의 심각도는 연령과는 관련성이 없었으며 체질량지수와 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 남성에서 무호흡의 정도와 수면 구조의 변화가 더 컸다.

The purpose of this study was to be of use for getting rid of job stress from dental technicians, by examining how much they were stressed out at work place as one of the professional medical personnels. The subjects in this study were 255 selected dental technicians who were working in the region of Taegu. The one-on-one interview was conducted from March 1 to 30, 2001, with structured questionnaire. The questionnaire sued in this study included 19 question items about the general characteristics and 29 items regarding job stress. The job stress was categorized into seven subareas based on earlier studies and considering the job situations of dental technicians: heavy workload, job conflicts, improper treatment, role and job knowledge, human relations, physical environment and personal matters. The job stress extent was measured on five-point Likert scale that is widely used in social science: one point for no stress, two for little stress, three for so-so, four for a little stress, and five for severe stress. Therefore, a higher point means a severer job stress. The reliability of the questionnaire turned out very good with Cronbach a = 0.9272. The findings of this study were as follows: 1. The general characteristics of the dental technicians investigated could be described as below: (1) By gender, 80.4% of the dental technicians were male, and 50.2%, the largest percentage, were in their 20s, followed by those in their 30s, those in their 40s, and those in their 50s in the order named. (2) The most common work place was dental technician shop(92.5%), followed by dental technology room in dental hospital or clinic and in general hospital in the order named. The primary duties were coating materials work(30.6%), followed by sculpture, grinding, partial and full denture and orthodontics in the order named. 2. The most larges (1) The most largest motivation to be a dental technician was its being a professional(33.7%), followed by the advice from others, their own aptitude, and good economic treatment in the order named. 3. Their job stress could be explained as below: (1) Their collective job stress average was 3.96$^{\circ}{\ae}$0.50 on the basis of 5 point, which showed that they were exposed to a fairly severe job stress. (2) By area, they were most stressed out from heavy workload (4.12), and they also were severely stressed from role and job knowledge(4.02) and personal matters(4.00). (3) By situation, they were most stressed when the disagreement of prosthesis that results from a specific error is unconditionally attributed to them(4.43). And they were also stressed a lot when their workload increases due to the rework(4.38), when a dentist asks something difficult for them to resolve(4.20), when heavy workload makes their working hours irregular and it's impossible to lead a personal life or have leisure time(4.16), and when they are o work for an excessively short time(4.16). This fact indicated that most of the dental technicians were exposed to a lot of stress in conjunction with job performance. 4. The main duties they took charge of didn't make any significant difference to their job stress, but yielded a significant difference to the extent of job stress in individual areas and the order of the most stressful one. Those who were engaged in grinding were most stressed from their own matters, whereas heavy workload was most stressful for those who were engaged in the other types of works. 5. As a result of seeing if their personal characteristics yielded any differences to job stress, the personal characteristics that made their job stress vary significantly were working hours, motivation of being a dental technician, job satisfaction and willingness to continue doing dental technology works. There was a tendency that longer working hours led to severer job stress, and those who chose to be a dental technician according to their own aptitude were less stressed than the others who became a dental technician because of economic reason or advices from others. And the people who were satisfied with their job were exposed to less job stress than the others who weren't, and those who had an intention to keep that job as much as possible were less stressed, compared to the others who hadn't.

As technological civilization and medical science has developed, standards of living have imp-roved and human life expectancy has been extended. But the incidence and mortality rate of cancer have been gradually increasing due to the pollution of the environment. Even though cancer is still a great threat to human beings, the etiology and appropriate cure forcancerhavenotyetbeendiscovered. The early detection and treatment of cancer is urgently needed. This study concentrates on the health behavior of woman regarding the papanicolau smear for early detection of cervical cancer. It was done in order to provide a direction for scientific health education materials by investigating predictors of preventive health behavior. The subjects for this study were made up of 54 woman, who comply with preventive health practices(compliant) who attended the Cervical Cancer Center of Y University Hospital in order to have tests for early detection of cervical cancer and 54 woman who did not comply with preventive health practices (noncompliant) selected from 100 housewives of I apartment, Kang Nam Ku, Seoul. The study method used, was a questionnaire for the compliance group and an interview for the noncompliance group. The period for data collection was from October 13th to October 24th. 1981. Analysis of the data was done using percentages, T-test, Pearson Correlation and Stepwise Multiple Regression. The results of study were as follows: 1. The hypotheses tested were based on the health belief model; 1) The first hypothesis,“The compliant may have more knowledge of the cervical cancer than the noncompliant”was rejected(T=-1.86, p>.05) 2) The second hypothesis,“The compliant may have a higher severity of cervical cancer than the noncompliant”was accepted (T=5.41, p<.001) 3) The third hypothesis, “The compliant may have a higher susceptability to cervical cancer than the noncompliant”was accepted(T=3.51, p<.01). 4) The fourth hypothesis,“The compliant may have more beneHt than cost'from the cervical cancer tests than the noncompliant" was accepted(T=7.46, p<.001). 5) The fifth hypothesis,“The compliant may have more health concern than the noncompliant”. was accepted(T=3.39, p<.01). These results show that severity, susceptability, benefit(over cost) and health concern influence the preventive health behavior in this Study. 2. In the correlation among variables, it was found that the knowledge of cervical cancer and the benefit(over cost) of preventive health behavior were negatively correlated(r=-2.75, p<.01), Severity of cervical cancer and benefit (over cost) of preventive health behavior were positively correlated(r=.280, p＜.01), severity and susceptability of cervical cancer were positively correlated(r= .238, p<.01), benefit(over cost) and health concern were positively correlated(r= .299, p<.01). The benefit(over cost) may be raised by increasing the severity and health concern. Therefore the compliance rate of woman may be raised through health education by increasing the benefit(over cost) of the individual. 3. The Stepwise Multiple Regression between health behavior and predictors. 1) The factor“Benefit(over cost)”could account for preventive health behavior in 34.4％ of the sample(F=55.6204 P<.01). 2) When the factor“Severity”is added to this, it accounts for 44.3% of preventive health behavior(F=41.679, p<.01). 3) When the factor“Susceptability”is also included, it accounts for 46.7% of preventive health behavior(F=30.373, p<.01). 4) When the factor “Health concern”is included, it accounts for 48.1% of preventive health behavior(F=23859, p<.05). This means that other factors appear to influence preventive health behavior, since the combination of variables explains only 48.1％ of the Preventive health behavior. Therefore further study to investigate the predictors of preventive health behavior is necessary.

Pain management is a major issue in caring of cancer patients. Patients' concerns for reporting pain and taking analgesics are patient-related barriers to the management of cancer pain. Since such study has not been done at all in Korea, it is clearly needed to study on these problems. The purpose of this study is to attain basic data in order to improve cancer pain management in Korea. This is done by: 1) examining the extent of patients' concerns that might be barriers to the optimal pain management, and the extent of related factors (pain management hesitancy, adequacy of using analgesics, pain severity and pain interference); 2) identifying the relationship between patients' concerns and the related factors. The data has been collected from 180 cancer patients who were hospitalized in medical wards of one university hospital in Seoul, Korea during the period from November 1, 1997 to February 28, 1998. The data has been collected through interviews with (1) Barriers Questionnaire - Korean Version (BQ-K); (2) Hesitancy Experience Questionnaires (HQ); (3) Pain Management Index (PMI); (4) Brief Pain Inventory (BPI); and (5) Demographic Data. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and by t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation using SPSSWIN program. The Results are as following: 1) The mean scores of Pain Management Concerns (PMC) by BQ-K were toward the moderate with a little high points(2.59). Most of the patients (99.4%) had some extent of concerns (over lout of maximum 5 points). Among the eight subscales of BQ-K, the Pain Management Concerns (PMC) about 'Fear of tolerance' was the highest (3.80) and 'Worry about side effects' was the least (1.40). 2) The extent of Pain Management Hesitancy (PMH) by HQ of wnom had pain on the day of the interview was a little higher than moderate score(5.53 out of maximum 10 points). 6.7% of the patients with experiencing pain used less adequate analgesics for the severity of pain than they were expected. 27.8% of them never used any analgesics at all. The mean score of pain severity by BPI was 16.59 (maximum: 40), and that of the interference with daily life by BPI was 32.03 (maximum: 70). 3) The patients who were older, less educated, and in low socio-economic status were likely to have more concerns. Pain Management Concerns (PMC) was positively correlated with Pain Management Hesitancy (PMH) (r=.75), pain severity (r=.44) and pain interference (r=.50). Those who were not using adequate analgesics had higher Pain Management Concerns (PMC) than did those who were using adequate analgesics (t=-5.42). The patients who had more Pain Management Concerns (PMC) tended to hesitate more to report pain and to use analgesics. They used more inadequate analgesics for the severity of pain and also had experienced more pain severity and interference with daily life. In conclusion, the patients' concerns for reporting pain and for using analgesics are major patient-related barriers to cancer pain management in Korea. The patients' concerns were correlated significantly with the level of the hesitancy experience, inadequate use of analgesics, the pain severity and the interference with daily life. Considering this, an educational program for cancer patients under the treatment with analgesics should be developed in order to solve these problems.

This study which applies to the 403 healthy people who don't have particular diseases recently(193 urban aged. 210 rural aged) among male and female aged over 60 years old living in Daegu(city) and Gyungbook(agricultural village) is fulfilled from November 1st to December 31st by interview using the questioned paper which researcher developed, and reached to these tallowing conclusions. 1. Every aged men independent of the place residence answered positively yes but aged women had weak assurance of their health. Especially $38.6\%$ of rural aged women said yes and $51.4\%$ of rural aged women said no. 2. In the sleep and well-regulated life, urban and rural aged generally marked on the sound sleep. Compared with male and female, men answered they had better sleep and regulated life than women. 3. The percentage of the urban and rural aged's judgement on their activity was high and the percentage of the rural aged was lower than the percentage of the urban aged. 4. While $62.6\%$ of urban aged answered they were active. $38.6\%$ of rural female aged answered yes, This shows that the rural female aged regard their health is not good. 5. Compared with same generation. urban aged ranked lower than urban aged in the confidence of physical strength. Especially rural need women answered $42.1\%$ of them were weaker than the same generation. This shows that rural aged women don't have confidence in general physical activities. 6. Taking exercises three times a week which can influence on health cue to sixties and seventies aged ranked $26.1\%$, rarely do is $18.8\%$ and never do is$28.8\%$. Urban and rural aged do not exercise on the purpose of health. 7. The reason of exercise was to advance the physical strength and quality of motion$(34.9\%)$ to get rid of stress$(13.4\%)$ and to prevention of adult illness$(27.8\%)$, prevention of fatness$(15.3\%)$. Aged have a correct understanding that exercise can promote health and protect from the diseases of adult people because the items about the diseases of adult people was marked high. 8. Among the subject of total investigation, 209 persons answered. It showed necessary to recognize that the exercise is still important essential part between adult illness and health care. 9. The $67.7\%$ of urban aged men answered yes in the question of undergoing a physical examination but the rate of not undergoing a physical examination was high in rural aged and urban aged women. According to this, there were the difference of consciousness about health between urban and rural aged. and men and women. 10. Among the people who haying undergone the physical examination, $80.3\%$ of the aged went back to the hospital again because of the result. 11. In the case of stroke, most aged answered the would be placed under medical care. but $53.9\%$ of rural aged women answered they would rely on Chinese medicine. According to this. aged preferred Chinese medicine in some particular diseases. 2. The $58.1\%$ of whole object of this study answered that stroke would be recovered.

사람들은 미각을 통해 음식물의 영양분과 안전성 여부를 파악하고, 이를 통해 식욕이 자극되고 만족되므로 미각은 음식물을 섭취하는데 필수적인 역할을 한다고 할 수 있다. 미각이 상실되거나 왜곡된 환자들의 경우 섭식 양상에 변화를 일으켜 건강에 나쁜 영향을 미치게 될 수 있다. 미각 기능에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요소는 매우 다양하며 미각의 장애 양상 또한 매우 다양하게 나타날 수 있다. 하지만 미각은 주관적인 감각으로 다른 감각들과는 달리 객관적으로 평가하기가 까다로우며, 맛을 느끼는데 있어서 미각뿐 아니라 후각, 촉각, 온도감각, 심리 상태 등 여러 다른 요소들의 영향을 받으므로 미각 이상을 나타내는 환자들을 진단하고 치료하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 그러므로 실제 임상적 상황에서 미각장애의 평가를 위해서는 무엇 보다도 신중하고 철저한 병력청취와 임상적 증상의 분석을 통하여 환자의 상태를 정확히 평가하는 것이 가장 중요하다. 미각은 시각이나 청각과 같은 다른 감각에 비해 그 동안 주목을 받아오지 못한 분야였으나, 사회가 발달함에 따라 삶의 질을 중시하게 됨으로써 최근 미각 장애로 내원하는 환자가 증가하는 추세이다. 본 연구의 목적은 미각 장애를 주소로 내원한 환자들의 임상적 특성을 분석하는 것이다. 미각 장애를 주소로 2005년 11월부터 2008년 8월까지 서울대학교 치과병원 구강내과에 내원한 환자 50명(남 12명, 여 38명, 평균 연령 $53.6\;{\pm}\;14.7$ 세)을 대상으로 하였다. 상담을 통하여 현재 미각 장애의 증상과 관련된 사항들과 그 밖의 의과적 치과적 병력, 투약, 미각 장애 외의 구강 증상들에 대하여 조사하였으며, 구강 검진, 설문지 작성, 방사선 사진 촬영, 혈액검사, 타액분비율 측정 검사 등의 임상적 검사를 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 미각 장애 환자들 중 구강 점막의 통증 혹은 작열감을 호소한 환자가 36명(72%)이었다. 이들 중 구강점막에 특별한 병소를 보이지 않는 구강작열감증후군으로 진단된 환자는 18명(36%)이었다. 2. 전체 환자들 중 19명(38%)의 환자가 주관적 구강건조감을 호소하였으며, 타액분비율 측정 결과 비자극시 타액분비율이 0.1 mL/min 이하인 환자는 14명(28%)이었고, 자극시 타액분비율이 0.5 mL/min 이하인 환자는 17명(34%)이었다. 3. 미각 장애의 종류로는 미각감소(hypogeusia)가 25명(50%)으로 가장 많았으며, 미각왜곡(dysgeusia)이 18명(36%), 환상미 각 (phantogeusia)이 15명(30%), 미각과민(hypergeusia)이 10명(20%), 미각상실(ageusia)이 5명(10%) 이었다. 전체 50명 중 19명(38%)의 환자가 두 가지 이상의 미각 장애의 종류를 나타내었으며, 가장 많은 조합은 미각왜곡과 미각감소를 같이 보이는 경우였다. 4. 미각 장애의 원인이나 관련요인은 병력조사와 임상검사를 토대로 평가하였으며, 구강점막질환이나 원인불명인 경우가 각각 9명(18%)으로 가장 많았다. 그 밖에 심인성이 8명(16%), 약물이 7명(14%), 구강건조증이 6명(12%)으로 나타났으며, 이 5가지의 항목이 전체의 78%를 차지하였다.

본 연구에서는 국민건강영양조사자료를 이용하여 IDF 기준에 의한 우리나라 20세 이상 성인의 대사증후군 유병률과 관련 요인을 규명하고자 시행되었다. 2010년 제5차 국민건강영양조사에 참여한 5670명의 자료를 이용하였다. 본 연구에서 자료 분석은 SAS 9.2 통계분석프로그램을 사용하였으며, 분석 시 복합표본설계를 이용하여 표본추출한 자료에 적용하는 SAS 명령어를 사용하였으며, 표본 추출률을 반영한 설계가중치, 무응답률, 사후 층화, 극단 가중치 처리단계를 거쳐 최종 산출된 개인가중치를 모두 적용하였다. 인구학적 특성, 생활습관, 가족력 등에 따른 모집단의 대사증후군의 유병률 추정치와 집단간 유병률의 차이를 비교하였고, 대사증후군 관련 요인을 파악하기 위하여 교차비 추정치와 이의 95% 신뢰구간을 구하였다. 우리나라 성인의 대사증후군 유병률은 18.8%였다. 인구학적 특성별로 대사증후군 유병률을 살펴보면, 남성 16.8%, 여성 20.7%였다. 20대 연령은 4.5%, 70대는 43.1%로 연령이 많을수록 대사증후군 유병률은 유의하게 높았으며, 교육수준이 초등학교인 경우 38.0%, 대학교 졸업은 12.9%로 교육수준이 낮을수록 대사증후군 유병률이 높았다. 전문관리직인 경우에 12.8%, 농업 및 단순 노무직인 경우 20.4%, 무직인 경우 21.8%로 직업에 따라 대사증후군 유병률에 차이가 있었고, 미혼인 경우 대사증후군 유병률은 5.5%로 가장 낮고, 이혼 또는 별거인 경우는 대사증후군 유병률이 40.6%였다. 알코올 의존문제가 있는 경우 23.6%의 대사증후군 유병률을 보였고, 체질량 지수가 25이상인 경우에 대사증후군은 43.7%로 나타났다. 대사증후군 유병률에 대한 교차비와 95% 신뢰구간을 살펴보면, 여성의 교차비가 1.59(1.20-2.11), 20대 연령집단을 기준으로 하였을 때, 50대의 교차비가 3.95(2.11-7.37), 60대는 5.62(2.98-10.61), 70세 이상은 10.56(5.25-21.25)으로 나타났다. 초졸 학력에 비해 고졸학력의 교차비가 0.52(0.37-0.74), 사무직이 전문직과 비교하여 2.14(1.27-3.60), 기혼자에 비해 이혼하거나 별거중인 군의 교차비가 1.72(1.15-2.59), 알코올 의존문제가 있는 경우 교차비가 1.86(1.16-2.98), 비만군이 정상 체중군과 비교하여 14.08(10.62-18.70)으로 유의한 관련성을 보였다. 그 외에 다른 요인들에 의한 대사증후군 유병위험은 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구는 IDF 기준을 적용하여 우리나라 성인의 대사증후군 유병률과 대상자의 특성에 따라 대사증후군 유병률을 파악하고, 교차비를 산출하여 관련요인을 확인하였다는 점에서 의미가 있다. 향후 연구에서는 여러 가지 대사증후군 진단기준을 적용하여 우리나라와 다른 나라의 대사증후군 유병률과 관련요인을 비교하고 우리나라 인구집단에 더 적합한 진단기준이 무엇인지를 확인하는 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 본 연구는 단면조사 자료를 이용한 분석이므로 대사증후군 관련 요인은 시간적 전후관계를 파악할 수 없었다. 향후 연구에서 전향적 조사 자료를 이용할 필요가 있다고 사료되며, 생활습관을 보다 정확하게 평가할 수 있는 도구를 이용하여 측정할 것을 제안한다.

This study aimed at developing a desirable family planning policy and strategy by examining the current status of family planning practice in rural Korea and by indentifying the crucial factors which affect fertility control behavior. For this purpose, an analytical study was conducted, using the survey data collected in July 1985, on an interview basis, on 1, 440 married women living in the Soyi, Wonnam and Maingdong townships of Eumseong County(in North Chungcheong Province). This study population has the typical characteristics of rural areas, and the results of the analysis can be summarized as follows: 1. In regard to the demographic characteristics of the study population : their average age at marriage was 23.7, they had an average of 2.6 children( 1.3 boys, 1.3 girls) :10% experienced the death of their child (ren) :14% had spontaneous abortion(s) :4% weathered stillbirth(s) :35% went through induced abortion (s) : and 5.5% were currently pregnant. The average of their ideal numbers of children was 2.2, while 44% felt that they must have a son. 2. Looking at the contact rate with medical & health institutions, over the past 1 year, the visit rate to health subcenters was 43.7%, while 26.9% visited the (county) health center :59.6% had been to private clinics : and 41.5% went to the Soonchunhyang - Eumsung hospital : thus showing a relatively high rate of accessibility. 3. The utilization rate of family planning services was 76.5%, with tubectomy being the most prominent method at 52.3%, while the informants were health workers in 54.2% of the acceptors. Of the 8.4% who discontinued the use of contraceptive methods, only 26% did so due to want for pregnancy, natural infertility (meno - pause), or other reasons, while the remaining 74% stopped usage on account of side effects, failure in the methods themselves, and inconvenience of use, thus pointing to a situation where the proper choice of family planning methods have not yet been made. It can be noted that there is a strong motivation for early birth stopping as 35.3% practice family planning even with only one child, of which 38.3% have had sterilization operations. According to results of a multiple regression analysis, among the variables affecting contraception usage the most significant variable was the number of sons. 4. 34.8% experienced induced abortions. It was shown as a result of multiple regression analysis that the number of children and attitudes toward induced abortions extensively affected their frequency of abortions conducted. 5. In the regard to the relation between family planning and induced abortions, 33.7% of the women used both, while 52.0% of them used only the former(family planning), with only 1.4 % utilizing solely the latter(abortion), and 12.9% totally abstaining from fertility regulation : again, the discriminant analysis indicated that the choice of family planning and/or induced abortion was determined by the number of children and attitudes toward induced abortion. In view of the above mentioned results, the following are some comments and suggestions concerning problems related to the current family planning policies, in Korea : 1. It is difficult to expect a further quantitative expansion in family planning program operations, as there has been an excessive supply of target-oriented sterilization operations on women. From a maternal and child health care point of view, it will be desirable to have a diversification of service points in the future where family planning methods may be properly chosen, so that choices of methods which suit the mothers' characteristics and tastes may be made by the individuals themselves by strengthening their quality of family planning information services. 2. Along with the strengthening of the qualitative improvement of family planning services policies must be implemented to effectively promote the moral (ethical) deterrents to induced abortions and to preference for sons. From a maternal care standpoint, the social permissive norm toward induced abortion must be modified, and the bias towards son must be analyzed as the women with more daughters have a lower rate of family planning acceptance. Such changes in attitudes, however, can not be hoped to be accomplished with ad hoc policies, but will only be possible when an enhancement of the women's status(within the society) is brought about in a long - term perspective.
