Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the perception of and attitude toward dementia and depression among residents in a community. Methods: Data were collected using the questionnaire from 226 residents in Incheon city from February to May, 2017. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA and Scheffe's test to identify differences in perception of and attitude toward dementia and depression. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to identify the correlation between the study variables, and multiple regression was used to identify factors affecting depression. Results: There were significant differences in perception of dementia according to age, education, marital status, and exercise. Also, significant differences in attitude toward dementia were found in occupation, family history of dementia and education about dementia. Depression was significantly different depending on the type of health insurance coverage and alcohol drinking. The scores of perception of dementia and depression were 11.09, 2.37, respectively on a 2-point scale and for attitude toward dementia was 85.94 on a 7-point Likert scale. The perception of dementia was positively correlated with the attitude toward dementia and there were negative correlations between perception of dementia and age and between depression and attitude toward dementia. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that we should improve perception of and attitude toward dementia and reduce depression to prevent and manage dementia effectively.

Purpose: The study was to identify influencing factors on fear of falling in postmenopausal women. Methods: With a correlational survey design, 125 postmenopausal women were recruited at the D metropolitan city by a convenience sampling. Fracture risk status was assessed by bone mineral densities (BMD) at lumbar and femur with DEXA method. A structured study questionnaire was used to measure demographic variables, osteoporosis self-efficacy, and fear of falling. Results: Mean age of the subjects was 59 years old and duration since menopause was 9.55 years. Twenty six percent of the subjects belonged to osteoporotic group in fracture risk status. Mean score for fear of falling was 16.10 (SD=5.18) indicating low level, and osteoporosis self-efficacy for exercise and diet was 44.76 (SD=7.41), indicating mid-range level. Factors influencing the fear of falling was longer time since menopause ($\beta=.30$), lower score of osteoporosis self-efficacy for exercise ($\beta=-.26$), poor health perception status ($\beta=-.16$), and presence of chronic disease ($\beta=.16$), and the explained variance was 20%. Conclusion: Although the level of fear of falling was yet low in postmenopausal women, women who had lower self-efficacy of osteoporosis for exercise and poorer health perception felt greater fear of falling. Therefore, an educational program specific to improve osteoporosis self-efficacy and reduce the fear of falling is needed for improving postmenopausal women's psychosocial well-being.

미세먼지는 국민건강에 치명적이기 때문에 정부 당국은 다양한 정책적 노력을 통해 미세먼지 저감을 위해 노력하고 있다. 국가적 정책의 실효성을 높이기 위해서 미세먼지에 대한 개인의 인식과 위험회피행동을 이해해야 한다. 이러한 견지에서 본 연구는 미세먼지에 대한 관여도, 귀인양식, 및 건강상태지각이 예방행동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 탐색했다. 우선 우리나라 사람들이 인식하는 미세먼지 발생원인에 대해 '일상생활 귀인', '국내 산업 및 환경 귀인' 및 '중국 산업 및 환경귀인'의 세 가지 귀인양식을 요인분석을 통해 규명하였다. 다음으로 예방행동의도에 영향을 미치는 미세먼지 관련 지각 변인들의 영향력을 밝히기 위해 단계선택방식의 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 회귀분석 최종 모형에서 '관여도(${\beta}=.465$, p<.001)', '중국산업 및 환경 귀인(${\beta}=.222$, p<.001)', '일상생활 귀인(${\beta}=.173$, p<.01)', 및 '국낸 산업 및 환경 귀인(${\beta}=.143$, p<.05)' 순으로 예방행동의도에 영향을 미치고 있었다. 마지막으로 한계점과 후속 연구를 위한 제언을 밝혔다.

본 연구는 대학생의 구강검사 및 구강미생물검사, 설문조사를 통해 구강건강상태와의 관련성을 분석하여 구강건강증진을 위한 구강보건교육프로그램 개발에 필요한 기초자료를 제시하고자 한다. 대학생 95명을 대상으로 한 연구결과 칫솔질 교육을 받지 않은 학생이 높은 구강미생물의 활동성을, 구강미생물의 양이 많은 학생이 주관적으로 치아통증을 더 느꼈다. 우식치아지수는 구취 느끼는 증상이 더 컸으며, 상실치아지수는 구강미생물의 종류와 양에서 차이가 있었고, 우식경험영구치지수에서 구강보조용품 사용하지 않는 경우 더 좋지 않은 구강건강상태를 보였다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 구강보건행위와 주관적 구강건강인식, 구강미생물 정도는 객관적인 구강건강상태와의 유의한 관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 대학생의 구강건강 증진을 위해 생애주기별 맞춤형 구강보건교육 매체의 개발 및 공유 확산이 필요할 것이다.

This study aimed to evaluate the health concern, eating habits, dietary behavior, and psychological stress among middle-aged adults in Chungnam according to their exercise status. A total of 437 adults with a mean age of 42.6 years participated in this study and completed a questionnaire survey. The subjects were divided into one of three groups according to their exercise status: never doing exercise (NDE; n=144), doing exercise once a week (DEO; n=186), and doing exercise twice a week or more (DET; n=107). Results demonstrated significant differences in concern about health, subjective health status, meal regularity, dietary problems, and stress score among the three groups. The DET and DEO groups were more concerned about their health (p<0.001), and had a perception that their health status was better than that of the NDE group (p<0.01). A larger percentage of the DET group had breakfast everyday (p<0.05) and a smaller percentage of the DET group had dietary problems such as irregular mealtime and skipping meals (p<0.01), compared to the other groups. The average stress score of the DET group was significantly lower than that of the DEO and NDE groups (p<0.05). The results reveal that doing regular exercising at least twice a week is associated with higher health concern, more desirable dietary habits, and lower psychological stress in middle-aged adults. These findings support the beneficial effects of regular exercise for health, dietary habits, and stress control.
