  • 이번 연구는 임업 종사자 중 하나인 국립공원 종사자를 대상으로 진드기 매개 감염병인 SFTS 혈청유병률을 확인하고 관련된 위험요인을 조사하고자 시행하였다. 2016-2017년에 실시한 "쯔쯔가무시증 및 라임병 고위험군에 대한 감염실태 조사" 사업으로 수집된 763명의 혈청 검체와 설문 조사 결과를 이용하였고, 혈청분석은 Double-antigen sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay로 IgG와 IgM을 포함한 전체 항체를 검사하였다. 국립공원 종사자 763명의 SFTS 혈청유병률은 1.4%였다. 일반적 특성 중 성별로는 여성이 1.7%로 더 높았고, 연령별로는 30-49세에서 2.0%로 가장 높았다. 학력에 따라 고등학교 졸업 이하가 2.5%로 더 높았고, 기관별로는 국립공원사무소분소 및 기타기관이 1.7%로 더 높았다. 근무기간에 따라 15년 이상이 2.2%로 가장 높았으며, 지역적으로는 북부에서 3.1%로 가장 높았다. 다변량 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 학력, 탐방 프로그램 운영, 매일 작업복을 갈아입음이 최종 모델에 포함되었다. 이 중 탐방 프로그램을 운영할 경우는 교차비가 3.48(95% 신뢰구간=1.01-12.01)로 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 학력과 매일 작업복을 갈아입음은 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 이번 연구는 진드기에 노출될 수 있는 고위험 직업군인 국립공원 종사자를 대상으로 SFTS의 혈청유병률을 파악하기 위한 조사를 국내에서 최초로 시행하였다는 점에서 의미가 크다. 국립공원 종사자는 진드기 매개 감염병의 고위험 직업군임에도 불구하고 작업 중 SFTS 예방을 위한 작업환경 및 습관과 관련된 예방활동이 부족한 것으로 생각되며, 국립공원 종사자에 대한 체계적인 예방 교육 및 훈련을 보다 강화할 필요가 있다.

  • 주관적 구강건강인식은 본인의 구강건강상태를 스스로 대답하도록 하는 방법으로 구강병의 질병부담에 대한 역학적 지표로서 혹은 치료필요나 치료결과의 지표로서 사용될 수 있다하겠다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 청소년을 편의추출하여 주관적 구강건강인식과 구강건강행동을 구성하는 요인을 찾아 연관성을 분석함으로 적절한 구강건강행동을 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 우리나라 청소년의 주관적 구강건강인식은 33.1%가 좋거나 매우 좋다고 응답한 반면 67.8%는 보통 또는 그 이하라고 응답하였고, 아침에 칫솔질을 실천 하는 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 2.6배 주관적 구강건강인식이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전체적으로 칫솔질 실천을 할 때가 실천하지 않았을 때보다 통계적으로 유의하게 주관적 구강건강인식이 좋았다(<0.001). 이는 구강보건 교육을 통해 자신의 구강건강 상태를 올바로 인지하고, 올바른 건강행동으로 실천하는 것이야 말로 예방적 교육의 목표라 할 수 있겠다. 따라서 적절한 학교 구강보건교육의 프로그램과 그 기회를 증가시킬 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

  • Objectives: More than half of youth smokers start to use cigarettes in their middle-school ages. Thus, middle school students should be the primary target population for smoking prevention education although the technical smoking rate is higher in high school students than in middle school students. Based on this significance, this study examined personal and social factors reinforcing non-smoking middle school students to acquire positive attitudes on smoking cigarettes. Methods: A total of 1,081 students of the 3 middle schools in Seoul participated in the self-administered survey. The designated schools were conveniently selected and all the 2nd-grade students of the schools participated in the survey. The questionnaire asked reinforcing social factors of smoking such as, family and parental history of drug use, close-people's smoking and drug use, personal experience of drug use, perceived smoking and drug use knowledge and attitudes, perceived smoking intention in future, and other delinquent behaviors. Results: Personal experience of drug and delinquent behaviors, perceived smoking intention in future, perceived knowledge of smoking, educational experience, and close-people's smoking and drug use were significantly related to students' attitudes on smoking. The significant factors affecting the positive attitudes of smoking were living with broken family and few education experience of smoking in school as social factors and strong smoking intention in future, high score of delinquent behavior, and low score of drug use knowledge as personal factors. Conclusions: Adolescents' strong smoking intention and little smoking education experience would primary personal and social factors reinforcing positive attitudes on smoking. Thus, school-based educational programs preventing smoking intention need to be developed and to be delivered to middle school students to minimize the future smoking population in a long-term perspective.

  • Objectives: Previous observations propose that risk-taking behaviors such as cigarette smoking are prevailing among young people with chronic conditions including diabetes. The purpose of this study was to examine whether cigarette smoking is more prevalent among diabetics than non-diabetics and whether it differs by age at the time of diagnosis with diabetes from young adulthood (YAH) to adulthood (AH). Methods: We used US panel data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health Study) during the years 2001 to 2002 (Wave III, YAH) and 2007 to 2008 (Wave IV, AH). Multivariate logistic regression models were applied to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of cigarette use behaviors according to age at the time of diagnosis with diabetes, after adjusting for demographic and selected behavioral factors. Results: Of 12 175 study participants, 2.6% reported having been diagnosed with diabetes up to AH. Early-onset diabetics (age at diagnosis <13 years) were more likely than non-diabetics to report frequent cigarette smoking (smoking on ${\geq}20$ days during the previous 30 days) in YAH (OR, 3.34; 95% CI, 1.27 to 8.79). On the other hand, late-onset diabetics (age at diagnosis ${\geq}13$ years) were more likely than non-diabetics to report heavy cigarette smoking (smoking ${\geq}10$ cigarettes per day during the previous 30 days) in AH (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.03 to 2.30). Conclusions: The current study indicated that diabetics are more likely than non-diabetics to smoke cigarettes frequently and heavily in YAH and AH. Effective smoking prevention and cessation programs uniquely focused on diabetics need to be designed and implemented.

  • Purpose: This study was done to explore the level of life stress, depression, and suicidal ideation and to identify the associated factors of suicidal ideation (SI) among college nursing students. Method: The design of this study was a descriptive survey design using a convenience sampling. Data collection was done using self-questionnaire from 124 students in 2 universities located in Gyeonggi and Chungnam provinces. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: Study participants reported low level of SI, depression, and life stress ($44.45{\pm}19.21$, $8.40{\pm}5.94$, $40.65{\pm}32.17$). The 53% of variance in SI was significantly explained by life stress related value (${\beta}=.41$, p<.001), life stress related to interpersonal relationship with family (${\beta}=.19$, p=.014), life stress related to interpersonal relationship with friends (${\beta}=.34$, p<.001), and depression (${\beta}=.36$, p<.001). Conclusions: The results indicate that to decrease the SI in these students, an active interest in the students is needed to lower stress levels in interpersonal relationships with family and friends, in life stress related to value, and for relief of depression. Suicide prevention programs specific to the level of life stress and depression need to be developed for nursing students.

  • Background: Smartphones are a modern necessity. While they are convenient to use, smartphones also have side effects such as addiction. This study assessed the relationship between smartphone use, a part of everyday life in modern society, and oral health. Methods: An analysis was conducted using 2017 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey data. The propensity score estimation algorithm used logistic regression and 1:1 matching algorithm using nearest-neighbor matching. After matching, a total of 15,032 participants were classified into two groups containing 7,516 teenagers each who did and did not use smartphones, respectively. Results: Comparison of oral health behaviors according to smartphone use revealed a statistically significant difference in the frequency of tooth brushing per day, use of oral hygiene products, intake of foods harmful to oral health, and experience of oral health education (p<0.05). The factors affecting oral pain experience of adolescents were examined. Compared to male participants, female participants had an odds ratio of 1.627 for oral pain (p<0.05). According to the household income level, compared to the group with higher income, the group with lower income showed higher oral pain experience (p<0.05). Oral pain experience was 1.601 times more frequent among teenagers using smartphones (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that use of smartphones by adolescents affected their oral health. These findings indicate the need for improved oral health management through the use of effective school oral health programs and individual counseling by oral health professionals, promotion of information dissemination through public media, and development of prevention strategies.
