Objectives: Our previously published study showed that a workplace nutrition intervention program with personalized goal setting and smartphone-based nutrition counseling improved dietary habits and physical activity in city bus drivers who were overweight/obese. This study explored the facilitators and barriers that participants faced in achieving their dietary and physical activity goals six months after the intervention. Methods: The study included bus drivers and dietitians who participated in the intervention program. Three focus group interviews were conducted with 10 bus drivers (divided by two groups based on their achievement of set goals) and five dietitians who had provided nutrition counseling. Results: Willpower was the most important intrapersonal facilitator for drivers to achieve their goals. Other factors that promoted behavioral changes were nutrition counseling by dietitians, trackable physical activity using smartwatches, and setting of practical and achievable goals. Meanwhile, the most important barriers identified were occupational factors such as long driving hours, short breaks, and shift work. Other barriers were environmental factors such as availability of snackable food, accessibility to convenience stores, and cold weather. Family and colleagues were perceived as both facilitators and barriers. In addition, dietitians identified a lack of knowledge about healthy diet as one of the barriers. Conclusions: Our results suggested that the workplace environment should be improved and that nutrition intervention programs at the workplace could encourage bus drivers to practice healthy eating habits. The facilitators and barriers identified in this study should be considered when planning a nutrition intervention program for bus drivers.

Purpose: To understand awareness, attitude and knowledge levels of muscle health of adults over 18 years old. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study using questionnaires. A total of 401 questionnaires were included for final analysis. Mean and standard deviation of the continuous variables were analyzed and frequency analysis of categorical variables was performed. To identify differences according to general characteristics, t-test was used. Results: Awareness scores about the importance of muscle health and exercises were 8.3 and 13.0, respectively. Attitude score and knowledge score were 12.4 and 15.0, respectively. There were differences in attitude toward muscle health according to gender, age, physical activity, and diet habits. However, there was no difference in attitude toward muscle health according to educational level, smoking, drinking, or sleeping. Conclusion: It is necessary to seek a strategy to improve awareness and attitude toward muscle health based on knowledge, not merely to raise knowledge level about muscle health. Since nurses play a central role in health promotion and disease prevention, they should also play an important role in strategic development and application of intervention.

현재 건강증진에 대한 다양한 논의가 진행 중으로 학자마다 정의가 다르고 동일한 학자도 문맥에 따라 다르게 사용하고 있는 경우가 많으며, 건강증진 내용의 스펙트럼이 행태변화만을 포함하는 가장 좁은 의미수준부터 지원체계, 질병예방, 건강보호 등을 포괄하는 가장 넓은 의미까지 다양하다. 건강증진의 개념을 어떤 것으로 받아들이든 정책, 개인 기술, 환경변화 등의 측면에서 지역사회(community)가 인간 집단을 포괄하고 있다는 점에서 건강증진의 가장 중요한 장이라는 것은 별로 이론이 없는 것 같다. 건강증진의 개념과 정의가 형성되어가는 시점에서 몇가지 주요한 논란점들이 있는데 그중에서도 건강증진의 접근전략에서 인구집단 전략과 고위험군 접근전략 간의 대립점이 가장 첨예한 논란중의 하나이다. 정부의 정책, 조직의 우선순위, 전문인의 행태 등이 각 개인의 노력과 같이 중요하거나 혹은 더 중요하다는 것이 이러한 입장이며, 건강과 행태에 영호t을 미칠 수 있는 사회체계와 환경에 대해 보다 큰 의사결정권을 가지는 것이 건강증진을 위해 중요하다고 주장한다. 이러한 이유로 건강증진을 논함에 있어 지역사회 전체를 통한 접근이 점점 더 강조하고 있다. 지역사회 건강증진 프로그램은 지역사회자원을 효율적 활용을 통한 보다 강화되고, 통합된, 포괄적, 협력적으로 수행되어져야한다. 이러한 방향은 1986년 오타와 헌장에의 건강증진의 정의에서 살펴볼 수 있으며, 광범위한 건강의 결정요인에 대한 접근이 필수적임을 알 수 있다. 신체활동은 건강의 주요한 결정요인이다. 인구집단 전략은 개인에 대한 신체활동 교육하는 것이 충분하지 않음을 제안한다. 개인 수준의 행태변화도 중요한 것이지만 이에 대한 집단적 변화를 불러줄 환경적 변화를 위한 전략과 균형을 이루어야 한다. 건강증진을 위한 신체활동 인구집단 전략은 사회적, 물리적 지지환경을 강화하고, 국가, 광역 및 기초자치 단체 수준에서 다양한 지역사회자원을 연계, 통합하여야 한다. 지속적인 공공교육 및 사회마케팅이 지역사회 신체활동 조직 및 기관, 산업장, 학교 등을 대상으로 지역사회 모든 주민들이 신체활동에 대한 관심을 증진시킬 수 있도록 협동적으로 이루어져야 한다. 정부와 기관 및 시민들은 지역사회차원의 운동개념으로 주최하고 참여하여 사회적 규범화 작업에 동참하여야한다. 기본적으로 적절하고 충분한 재원의 지원, 인적자원의 개발, 정책 및 입법이 제공되어야한다. 또한 국내외적으로 연구개발과 지식의 공유 및 교환이 요구된다. 한국에서는 전략적 우선순위가 높은 신체활동 프로그램의 범주를 지역 보건소를 기반으로 한 환경적 지원, 생애주기별 접근, 고위험군 및 질환군 접근 등으로 구분하였다. 지역사회에 기반한 신체활동 핵심 프로그램으로 하부구조 구축, 지원적 환경 제공, 지역사회 캠페인, 건강증진 교육 및 홍보, 노인 및 비만인을 위한 신체활동 프로그램, 그리고 운동처방 프로그램 등을 포함하였다. 신체활동증진 및 운동사업은 사회적, 물리적 지원환경 조성 등을 중심으로 전개하며, 보건소를 중심으로 한 운동사업은 지역 공공기관 및 민간기관 등과 연계하여 프로그램을 연동하며, 홍보 및 교육은 지역의 운동단체 및 기관, 각급 학교 등과 협력하여 운동에 대한 관심을 고취하고 신체활동 및 운동을 생활화하는 프로그램을 시행토록 한 전략을 지속, 강화토록 하여야 할 것이다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the subjective oral health awareness, oral health knowledge, oral health behavior and OHIP-14 in industrial workers. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 243 workers in Jeonbuk May 7 to June 10, 2014. Except incomplete answers, 230 data were analyzed. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects(sex, age, career, marital status, abd family), oral health recognition characteristics(oral health attention, subjective oral health status, and oral health concern), oral health knowledge, oral health behavior, and oral health related quality of life. The instrument was 14 questions od OHIP-14 including functional restriction(2 questions), physical pain(2 questions), psychological discomfort(2 questions), physical ability decease(2 questions), psychological function decease(2 questions), social activity decrease (2 questions), and social discomfort(2 questions). Cronbach's alpha was 0.949 in this study and it was reliable. Results: Oral health interests showed that 57.8% of the workers had concern for oral health interests and 50.4% perceived that their subjective oral health was moderate status. 55.6% of the workers answered that their oral health status was very worried. Women had more knowledge about the oral health. Those who were in fifties tended to have more knowledge of oral health than the other age groups. Those who had more concern for oral health included female workers, married workers, and workers above 21 years. The concern for oral health made the workers keep good oral health. Higher score of OHIP-14 means good oral health. Conclusions: Good oral health-related quality of life is proportional to continuous management of oral health and subjective oral health status. It is necessary to develop the tailored oral health education program for the workers.

Purpose: This study was undertaken to identify stroke risk with risk factors and knowledge of stork in women with prehypertension. Methods: A total of 46 pre-hypertensive women in urban area aged 44.8 (SD 11.4) yr old in average were selected by a convenient sampling. Demographic data, risk factors, and knowledge of stroke were assessed through face to face interview. Stroke risk scores were calculated based on points given to age, systolic blood pressure, smoking, DM, and heart disease in Framingham stroke risk score. Data were analyzed by SPSS WIN 12.0 using descriptive statistics, two sample t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results: The mean systolic blood pressure of participants was 133.11 mmHg, and HDL cholesterol was lower than the recommended level, although rest of physiologic risk factors were within normal. Of the participants, 82% did not do regular physical activity and 75% did not control fat intake persistently. Mean stroke risk points and knowledge scores were 4.48 and 29.15, respectively, which were significantly different between women with and without persistent controlling fat intake. Conclusion: Results indicate stroke prevention intervention for prehypertensive women should address comprehensively modifying lifestyle as well as physiologic factors, and information focusing on stroke risk factors and warning symptoms.

Capsaicin. a vanillyl amide(8-methy1-N-vanilly1-6-nonenamide) with a molecular weight of 305.42, was substance, interrupting the pain conducting pathway Until recently the neurotoxic effects of Capsaicin to adult animals were thought to be limited to the peripheral nervous system. But several reports suggest the possibility of central nervous system changes after Capsaicin administration to the adult rat. Capsaicin desensitization is defined as long lasting, reversible suppression of sensory neuron activity. How fast and for how long the desensitization develops is related to the dose and time of exposure to Capsaicin, and the interval between consecutive dosing. In the long term Capsaicin treatment can lead to morphological degeneration and changes in some small sensory neurons, predominantly unmyelinated C fiber afferent nerve fibers. Clinical interest has recently been roused by evidence that Capsaicin's desensitizing action may be of therapeutic value and that an endogenous Capsaicin-1 ike substance may exist. This study summarizes the fundamental knowledge(mechanism, receptors, et al of Capsaicin) of Capsaicin for physical therapists.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Although the association of body mass index (BMI) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) is well documented, there is little knowledge on the independent and joint associations of BMI and physical activity with MetS risk based on a continuous scoring system. This study was designed to explore the effect of physical activity on interactions between excess body weight and continuous metabolic syndrome (cMetS) in a nationwide survey of Iranian children and adolescents. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Data on 5,625 school students between 10 and 18 years of age were analyzed. BMI percentiles, screen time activity (STA), leisure time physical activity (LTPA) levels, and components of cMetS risk score were extracted. Standardized residuals (z-scores) were calculated for MetS components. Linear regression models were used to study the interactions between different combinations of cMetS, LTPA, and BMI percentiles. RESULTS: Overall, 984 (17.5%) subjects were underweight, whereas 501 (8.9%) and 451 (8%) participants were overweight and obese, respectively. All standardized values for cMetS components, except fasting blood glucose level, were directly correlated with BMI percentiles in all models (P-trend < 0.001); these associations were independent of STA and LTPA levels. Linear associations were also observed among LTPA and standardized residuals for blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein, and waist circumference (P-trend < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that BMI percentiles are associated with cMetS risk score independent of LTPA and STA levels.
