  • This paper analyzed health practices of students in an university in Chollabukdo Province. It attempted to study how many university students had what kinds of health practices. Furthermore, it tried to find out what are the major problems in health practice among university students. To study health practices of university students, this study sampled 1,469 students randomly. Many of the students had poor practices of teeth care. In tooth-brushing, many students (35.8%) brushed their teeth before breakfast in the morning. Most of the students (95% or more) visit dental clinic only when they had problem(s) in their teeth. For weights, there exists a great gap between perception and BMI (Body Mass Index), especially among female students. Among the female students who perceived their weights were above average, 96.4% of them were normal according to BMI. Many of the students were drinking greater amount of alcohol than safe amount suggested by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia. The proportion of the students drinking harmful or hazardous amount of alcohol were 79.5% of the male students and 74.9% of the female students. It suggests that health promotion fund or tax need to be levied on alcohol to frustrate unhealthful drinking. More than half (59.0%) of the male students and about 6.0% of the female students were smoking cigarettes. The smoking initiation ages were 17.8 for male and 18.2 for female students. It means that many of the students started smoking in their junior high or high schools. It implies that smoking prevention and smoking cessation programs need to be emphasized in these schools. For perception on sex, 27.8% of the male students and 60.9% of the female students thought to keep their virginity before their marriage. The female students were more conservative in perception on sex. The average number of sexual intercourses per year of male students was 17.0 times with their lovers, 7.9 times with prostitutes, and 7.0 times with maids. The female students had sexual intercourses 5.0 times with their lovers and 4.0 times with waiters per year. The proportion of students who had experience of sexual intercourse with homosexual partners was 1.0%. The finding this study was that the university students were vulnerable to poor health practices. It is suggested that public health intervention program be provided for university students to keep them in good healthy lifestyle.

  • Background: The objective of this study was to report the types and relative frequency of oral malignancies and precancer in the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia during the period 2009-2014. Materials and Methods: Pathology reports were retrieved from the archives of Histopathology Department, King Fahd hospital in Jazan. Demographic data on tobacco habits, clinical presentation and histologic grading of oral precancer and cancer cases were transcribed from the files. Results: 303 (42.7%) oral pre-malignant and malignant cases were found out of 714 oral biopsy lesions. A pathology diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma (85.1%) was most frequent, followed by premalignant lesions/epithelial dysplasia (8.6%), verrucous carcinoma (3.3%) and malignancy of other histological types (3%) such as ameloblastic carcinoma, salivary gland malignancy and sarcomas. Oral squamous cell carcinoma was predominant in females with a male to female ratio of 1:1.9. Patient age ranged from 22 to 100 years with a mean of $65{\pm}13.9$. Almost 44.6% of oral cancer had occurred after 65 years of age. Only 16.3% cases were reported in patients younger than 50 years, predominantly females. The majority of female patients had the habit of using shammah with a long duration of usage for more than 45 years. Buccoalveolar mucosa (52.3%) was the common site of involvement followed by tongue/floor of the mouth (47.7%) and clinically presented mostly as ulceration/swelling clinically. Moderately differentiated tumours (53.9%) were common followed by well differentiated (32.2%) and poorly differentiated tumours (5.8%). The prevalence of oral verrucous carcinoma (3.3%) was comparatively low with an equal distribution in both males and females. Both bucco-alveolar mucosa and tongue were predominantly affected. Oral precancer/epithelial dysplasia (8.6%) was common in females with a shammah habit. Bucco-alveolar mucosa was commonly involved and clinically presented mostly as white/red patches. Most cases were mild followed by moderate and severe dysplasia. Tumours of other histological types (3%) include 1 ameloblastic carcinoma, 3 malignant salivary gland tumours and 5 sarcomas. Conclusions: In this study, it was found that oral cancers reported in the pathology service to be a common occurrence. This study reconfirms previous reports of the high burden of oral cancer in this population This indicates that conventional preventive programs focused on oral cancer are in need of revision. In addition, further research into identifying new risk factors and molecular markers for oral cancer are needed for screening high risk individuals.

  • 본 연구는 구강보건교육에 대한 경험, 계속구강건강관리 프로그램 필요성과 참여 의향을 알아보기 위해 2016년 6월 1일부터 8월 3일까지 대전광역시에서 거주하며 치과에서 1회 이상 진료를 받은 경험이 있는 만 19세 이상 성인 중 303명을 편의추출하여 설문조사하였다. 그 결과, 3회 이상 이를 닦는 대상자는 72.6%였으며 구강보조용품을 사용하는 대상자는 55.8%였고 칫솔질 시간이 2분 이상인 대상자는 55.8%였다. 치면착색제 경험은 1일 칫솔질 횟수에 영향을 미쳤으며 치면착색제 경험, 칫솔질 교육, 구강보조용품 사용 교육, 치주질환 예방 교육은 구강보조용품 사용과 1회 칫솔질 시간에 영향을 미쳤다. 계속구강건강관리 프로그램이 필요하다고 생각하는 대상자는 93.1%였으며 계속구강건강관리 프로그램 참여의향은 68.0%였다. 계속구강건강관리 프로그램 1회 참여비용은 1만원 이상 2만원 미만이 70.3%로 가장 많았으며 관리주기는 6개월이 42.6%로 가장 많았다. 계속구강건강관리 프로그램 요구도는 구강세균검사 74.3%, 칫솔질 교육 71.6%, 구취검사 69.3%, 구강보조용품 교육 46.9%, 치면세균막검사 42.9%, 타액검사 37.6% 순이었다. 계속구강건강관리 프로그램 필요성 인지에 영향을 미치는 요인은 고졸 이하에 비해 대졸 이상 4.514배, 구강보조용품을 사용하지 않은 군에 비해 사용하는 군이 2.878배, 칫솔질 시간이 2분 미만군에 비해 2분 이상군이 3.138배 필요성 인지가 높았다. 계속구강건강관리 프로그램 참여 의향에 영향을 미치는 요인은 치주질환 예방 교육 경험이 없는 군에 비해 예방교육 경험이 있는 군이 1.915배 높았으며 구강보조용품 사용을 하지 않는 군에 비해 사용하는 군이 2.065배 높았다. 따라서, 치과에 내원하는 환자에게 지속적으로 구강보건교육을 하는 것이 계속구강건강관리 프로그램에 참여율을 높일 수 있다고 생각되었다. 또한, 구강세균검사나 구취검사 등이 성인 계속구강건강관리 프로그램에 포함되는 것이 추천되며 계속구강건강관리 프로그램이 본인이 부담할 수 있는 적정 비용 수준으로 보험 급여화될 수 있도록 제안해야 한다.

  • 본 연구는 청소년기인 고등학교 학생들을 대상으로 주관적인 구강건강상태, 구강보건행동, 구강진료기관이용 및 구강건강행위에 관한 인식을 조사하고자 2009년 4월 3일부터 4월 30일까지 서울, 경기도, 충남의 인문계와 전문계 일부 고등학교 학생 1,2,3학년을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 회수된 자료 600부를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 하루 잇솔질 횟수는 3회가 가장 많았으며(p<0.001), 잇솔질 1회 소요시간은 2~3분 미만이 많았다. 잇솔질 방법은 위 아래로 회전하는 방법이 많았으며(p<0.05), 인문계는 혀 닦이를 항상 닦는다가, 전문계는 생각날 때만 닦는다가 가장 많았다(p<0.05). 이는 고등학생 시절인 청소년기의 올바른 계속구강건강관리에 대한 교육이 요구되어진다. 또한 구강보조용품을 사용하지 않는다가 인문계, 전문계 모두 높게 나타났으며(p<0.001), 사용하지 않는 이유로는 모두 잘 알지 못해서가 가장 높게 나타났다(p<0.001). 이는 구강보조용품에 대해 잘 알고 있어야 해당 구강보조용품을 실제로 사용할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 사용하는 용품으로는 치실을 가장 많이 사용하는 것으로 나타났고(p<0.05), 사용하게 된 계기로 주변사람의 추천과 치과전문가의 추천이 가장 높게 나타났다(p<0.01). 전문가에게 잇솔질 교육을 받은 경험은 모두 없다가 높게 나타났고(p<0.001), 정기구강검진 경험(p<0.001)과 치석제거 경험 모두 없다가 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 이는 구강보건교육경험이 많지 않아 구강보건교육이 절실히 필요하다는 것을 의미하며, 학교 교사를 중심으로 하는 학교 구강보건교육 시행을 위한 교육프로그램 개발과 시행이 무엇보다 중요하다고 사료된다. 결론적으로 학교유형에 따른 일부 고등학생들의 주관적인 인식의 차이와 행위에서 다소 차이가 있음을 볼 수 있다. 이는 구강건강증진을 위해 실질적인 도움이 되는 예방프로그램과 구강보건교육을 교육과정 내에 체계적으로 프로그램화시킬 필요성이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • The purpose of this survey, in which 2754 students from 35 middle schools from Taegu city participated, was to identify the degree and the relationship of sexual knowledge, sexual attitude and need for sex education. This information will provide useful data, and promote a more systematic, desirable and practical sex education. The data was collected from September 1 to November 8, 1997. Data was analyzed using the statistical computer package, SPSS to manipulate the data along with percentage, mean, $X^2$-test. t-test, F-test and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results from this study were summarized as follows: 1. The mean score of sex related knowledge showed significant differences between boys and girls in general knowledge(boys: 10.85 girls: 11.71, p=0.000), in the area of physical development(boys : 5.29 girls: 5.72, p=0.000), pregnancy & physiology (boys: 3.23 girls: 3.57, p=0.000) and venereal disease (boys: 2.33 girls: 2.42, p=0.000). 2. The mean score of sex related attitudes showed a significant differences between boys and girls on the whole(boys : 57.68 girls: 58.92, p=0.000), in the area of psychological differences of the other sex (boy: 26.13, girls: 28.08, p=0.000), and sexual delinquency and its prevention(boy: 14.28, girls: 13.68, p=0.000). However, in the area of other sex friendships (boy: 17.28, girls: 17.16, p=0.274). There were no significant differences between boys and girls. 3. Those who had a higher sex related knowledge score showed more positive attitudes towards sex, but was of no statistical significance(r= 0.312, p=0.000). 4. The majority of subjects wanted to learn about friendship with the other sex(40.1%), about physical and psychological differences in adolescence(24.0%), about prevention of sexual violence(15.0%), about pregnancy and delivery (7.5%), about venereal disease and medical cures(7.3%), about contraception methods (4.3%), as well as other aspects of sexual knowledge (1.8%), 5. The mean score of sex related knowledge generally was higher when one paid a lot of attention to health (F= 3. 148, p=0.014), when one's father was alive(t=3.930, p=0.000), and when one's mother was alive(t=2.807, p=0.005), Hobby activities also showed a significant difference(F=9.092, p=0.000). The mean score of sex related knowledge generally according higher when one had sex education(F=9.470, p=0.000), when one obtained sexual knowledges from a teacher (F = 5. 742, p=0.000), and when one had middle grade problems with sex(F=13.58 4, p=0.000). 6. The mean score of sex related attitudes generally showed significant differences when re ligion(F=2.691, p=0.03), hobbies (F= 3.499, p= 0.002) were considered. Those who had a father also had higher scores(t=2.538, p= 0.011). The mean score of sex related attitudes generally with respect to a subject's sex was higher when one had sex education(t=5.338, p= 0.000), when one had high grade problems with sex(F=6.023, p=0.002), and when one had the experience of friendship with the other sex(t= 8.106, p=0.000), The following suggestions are based on the above results, 1. Systematic sex education must be performed in middle schools in order to establish responsible attitudes toward sex, 2. Sexual knowledge, attitude, and general sex education classes must be performed seperately for early, middle, and late adolescents, In other words sex education programs are needed for each adolescent development stage.

  • The study attempts to examine the degree of cognition and demand on health promotion center of oriental nursing. It puts unique nursing intervention using traditional health promotion connected with oriental medicine to practical use for residents' health promotion and prevention of disease. With the study design of cross-sectional descriptive study, 516 residents who live in 26 Dongs, Dongdaemoon-gu were selected. The tool of study consists of 30 questions which the study team made for the degree of cognition and demand on health promotion center of oriental nursing. Cronbach's $\alpha$ in the degree of cognition was .8028. Collection of research data had been done from October 1 to October 30, 1999 with help of Dongdaemoon-gu office after pretest from 20 residents. Collected data were analyzed into the number and percentage in the characteristic of a subject and connected with demand on the establishment of center, the mean and the standard deviation in the degree of cognition and F-tests in the difference of the degree of cognition by characteristics. The results were as follow; 1) The characteristic of subject of this study was male 50.6%, and average age was 38.5 years old and 30-39 years old occupied the highest percentage with 31.6%. The married were 71.8%, over high school graduates was 85.6%, monthly income from 500 thousand won to 2 million won was 86.1%. 50.8% was the type living with parents, children and sibling. 2) When they were sick, the institution which residents used at first was a pharmacy(69.2%) and hospital(27.5%), but oriental medicine hospital was just 1.4%. As for subjective health condition, 82.5% answered over average, and 28.7% answered that they had chronic illness such as arthritis, chronic digestion problem, hypertension and so on. As for information collection on health, mass communication(34.9%) and medically concerned people(28.1%) occupied relatively high rate. Free health diagnosis system(36.8%) and establishment of health promotion center(31.5%) among welfare programs that residents want to enjoy were high ranked. The rate using a special institution for health was 17.8%, and among these institutions, the rate using aerobic exercises, health center(7.0%) and steamed room(5.4%) was high. Besides, other institutions such as breathing at the abdomen, finger-pressure therapy, meridian massage, foot massage, and so on were being used. 3) As the average of the degree of cognition on health promotion center of oriental medicine was 2.92, the degree of cognition was medium. The description, "health promotion center of oriental medicine is necessary for health keeping of healthy people, including people who have a problem in health" showed the highest degree of cognition(3.04, ${\pm}0.64$). 4) As for the intention on using health promotion center of oriental nursing, 61.4% said "yes", "no" was just 1.4%. The services that people relatively high wanted to be served from the center were measures reducing stress(68.0%) (relaxation therapy, meditation, breathing at the abdomen and so on), acupuncture(66.5%), finger-pressure(61.6%), moxibustion(57.6%), meridian massage(44.2%), postpartum care(40.3%) and so on. 5) As for the degree of cognition on the establishment of health promotion center of oriental nursing by characteristics of subject, there was significant difference(F=4.03, p=.046) between male(3.01) and female(2.91). But there was no significant difference by age, marital status, level of educational achievement and monthly income. As the above result, cognition on the establishment of health promotion center of oriental nursing was relatively low because people were not familiar with about the health promotion center of oriental nursing yet. However once the center will be established, the degree of demand on the center will be relatively high. So positive advertisement will be necessary, and the management of useful programs will be also required in order to make people recognize the advantage when they actually will use the center. On the other hand, as the subject of the study consists of many young people of below 30, the health problem came to be low. And in the case of sampling, the study using random sampling that can represent population will be required.

  • The purpose of this study was to assess the needs of breast self examination education (BSEE) programs for developing nursing centers. A first, we reviewed the literature of activity and management-related factors of nursing centers: and, second. we used a questionnaire to discover the degree of knowledge, attitude, and practice on breast cancer, as well as an individual's intention to participate BSEE program. 1. Reviewing the literatures of nursing center activities. Nursing centers which were administered by a professional nurse are an ideal site for faculty and student practices. With the use of nursing models of health. professional nurses in nursing centers diagnose and treat human responses to potential and actual health problems and offer holistic, client-centered health service. In nursing centers professional nursing services include health education, health promotion, and health-related research. A nursing center is comprised of the advisory and exacutive commitee; the advisory commitee serves consultants and links community needs to the nursing center, while the director of the exacutive commitee identifies the potential resources to generate funds, support, and facilitate the activities of staffs in a nursing center.
