Objectives : This study was to examine the recognition and understanding of the use, application of oral hygiene supplies among dental clinic patients in a bid to stress the necessity of education on the right awareness and use of oral hygiene supplies, to provide information on the development of educational programs and ultimately to help promote the oral health of people in general. Methods : The subjects in this study were 314 patients who visited dental clinics in North Jeolla Province in June 2009. Results : 1. Out of oral hygiene supplies, the largest number of the patients investigated(74.6%) were best cognizant of dental floss, and the greatest group(77.7%) had the right understanding of the use of toothpick. Currently, the oral hygiene supplies that were most widely in use were toothpicks(43.2%). 2. As to the relationship of awareness and understanding of the use, application of oral hygiene supplies to subjective oral health status, 50.0 percent of the patients who understood the use of toothpick found themselves to be in good health, and the gaps between them and the others were statistically significant. Among those who were aware of dental floss, the largest group(51.4%) considered themselves to be in good shape, and in the event of those who understood the use of dental floss, the greatest group(49.2%) deemed themselves to be in good health. Out of those who understood the use of mouse rinse, the largest group(53.7%) thought they were in good health(p<0.05). 3. Recognition of interdental brush, understanding of its use and whether to use it currently or not were identified as parents to use oral hygiene supplies recommended by dental clinics(p<0.05). 4. Recognition of interdental brush, understanding of its use and whether to use it currently or not were identified as patients to use oral hygiene supplies recommended by dental clinics(p<0.05). 5. The largest group of those who didn't put dental floss to use didn't use it for other reasons unspecified in the questionnaire, and the second greatest group of them didn't use it since it was so onerous to do that. There were statistically significant differences in the reason why they didn't use the oral hygiene supplies(p<0.05). 6. Awareness of dental floss and interdental brush, understanding of the use of the two and whether to use the two at present or not made statistically significant differences to whether they were likely to use the oral hygiene supplies in the future. And whether they were likely to use the oral hygiene supplies in the future was statistically significantly different according to awareness of mouse rinse and understanding of the use of it as well(p<0.05). Conclusions : Dental hygienists have to provide patients with various data of oral hygiene devices through oral health education and then only patients caring in dental clinics can choose the appropriate devices to claim for their own disease.

This study was conducted to investigate weight control status and associated factors among health-related major female college students. The subjects consisted of 41 nutrition and 78 physical exercise major female college students. Nutrient intakes, biochemical index, nutrition knowledge (recognition and accuracy), interest of weight control, body satisfaction, self-recognition of health condition, self-evaluated body weight were studied. About 73% of nutrition and 79% of physical exercise major female students were in the normal range of BMI ($18.5{\sim}23$) and 2% of nutrition and 1% of physical exercise major female students were underweight, 10% of nutrition and 6% of physical exercise major female students were obese. There were no significant differences in height and weight by major but %body fat and WHR in physical exercise majors were significantly lower than nutrition major students (respectively p<0.01, p<0.05). Overall, nutrition intakes of subjects were not shown to be appropriate, especially Ca/P of subjects was shown $0.54{\sim}0.64$, fat% out of energy of subjects was shown $24.7{\sim}29.0$ and Na intake was shown above 2000mg. Recognition and accuracy of nutrition were higher than those of physical exercise majors (p<0.001). There were no significant differences in self-recognition of health condition, self-evaluated body weight, satisfaction of body shape by major and weight control attempt. But interest of weight control of attempter was higher than that of no-attempter in nutrition (p<0.05) and physical exercise major students (p<0.01). Significantly negative correlation was found in satisfaction of body and BMI, body fat mass, %bodyfat, WHR. And significantly positive correlation was found in interest of weight control and BMI, %bodyfat, WHR. It was noticeable to see that interest of weight control was positively correlated to accuracy and accuracy was negatively correlated to blood cholesterol level. Therefore, proper nutrition education for female college students is needed in order to improve their weight control-related health.

본 연구는 이미지와 텍스트로 구성된 건강정보의 제시 유형이 정보의 인지에 미치는 차이에 대해 분석하였다. 이를 위해 대학생 47명을 대상으로 정보의 제시유형에 따른 정보의 인지 차이를 측정하였다. 또한, 피험자가 주관적으로 느끼는 이미지의 생생함과 질병의 인지도를 변수로 함께 대입하여 정보의 인지도를 측정하였다. 분석결과를 살펴보면 먼저 본문에 이미지가 함께 제시된 건강정보는 텍스트로만 구성된 건강정보보다 정보의 인지가 높은 것으로 나타났으며 이미지가 포함된 건강정보의 유형에서는 그림이 제시된 경우 정보의 인지가 가장 높게 측정되었다. 또한, 이미지의 유형 중 사진은 생생함이 가장 높게 측정되었으나 생생함이 높을수록 정보의 회상률은 낮은 것으로 측정되었다. 질병에 대한 인지도는 건강정보 제시유형별 회상과 재인에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구는 도서관에서 건강정보서비스를 시작하고자 할 때 정보원 구축 및 콘텐츠 설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구의 목적은 승무원의 구강건강과 심미적 관심도에 관한 연구로 A항공사에서 근무하는 승무원 314명을 대상으로 2014년 6~7월 동안 자기기입식 설문으로 조사되었다. 사용한 도구는 건강과 구강건강 인식, 구강건강관리, 외적이미지, 외적이미지가 직장생활에 미치는 영향이다. 수집된 자료는 PASW Statistics 18.0을 이용 하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 연령별, 경력별 구강건강 인식에 유의한 차이가 있었고, 교육수준별 삶의 질 인식에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 외적이미지가 직장생활에 미치는 영향은 연령별 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 외모관리 연간 지출비는 성별, 경력별, 소득 집단에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 승무원은 구강건강이 전신건강보다 건강하지 않다고 인식하고 있어, 외적이미지에 구강건강이 주요한 영향요인이며, 심미증진을 위한 주기적 예방처치 및 심미처치를 시행하고 있었다. 그러나 직무 특성상 구강관리 자가평가가 낮게 조사되어 구강관리 행위 실천을 위한 방안모색이 요구된다. 또한 구강관리가 전신건강을 유지하는데 필수적인 만큼 이에 대한 관심 증대가 요구된다.
