Objectives: This study aimed to provide essential data for the development of a prenatal healthcare intervention program tailored to Vietnamese migrant women. This study assessed the knowledge and the practice of prenatal health management, and the levels of depression among Vietnamese women of childbearing age residing in Korea and Vietnam. Methods: Using a descriptive research design, a structured questionnaire was administered to Vietnamese women of childbearing age, with 113 participants residing in Korea and 196 participants residing in Vietnam. Data was collected from Februay to April 2021. Data was analyzed using t-test and chi-square test. Result: The analysis of knowledge regarding prenatal health management revealed significant differences between married women in both locations, with higher knowledge scores. Regarding prenatal health management practices, no significant differences were found based on marital status or place of residence. Particularly in the item "Will receive regular prenatal check-ups at the hospital." married Vietnamese women in Vietnam had lower scores than unmarried women, and rural women had lower scores than urban women. The lowest score was observed among Korean-residing women in the item "Will seek pregnancy and childbirth information." Regarding depression, married women in Vietnam and women living in rural areas demonstrated significantly higher depression scores. Conclusion: When designing perinatal management interventions for Vietnamese immigrant women, special attention should be given to those originating from rural areas in Vietnam. It is recommended to incorporate the importance of perinatal healthcare and factors related to mental well-being into the intervention program.

This study examined the degree and relations of stroke literacy, health literacy, stroke knowledge, and self-management to identify the significant determining factors affecting stroke prevention among middle-aged and older adults with a high incidence of stroke. Data on the sociodemographic characteristics, stroke literacy, health literacy, stroke knowledge, and self-management of 198 participants were collected from December 5, 2019, to March 31, 2020, using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program. The determining factors affecting self-management in middle-aged and older adults were age (β=.190. p=.015), followed in order by smoking (β=-.226, p=.001), self-rated health status (β=.297, p<.001), and stroke knowledge (β=-.168, p=.014); the explanation power was approximately 20.3%. The results suggest that the self-rated health status and stroke knowledge should be considered when developing nursing interventions to improve self-management among middle-aged and older adults. Furthermore, it will be necessary to find the intervening variable between stroke knowledge and self-management for community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults in the community. Overall, these findings underscore the importance of systematic and ongoing education on stroke prevention.

당뇨병과 정신건강은 어떤 관련성이 있을까? 당뇨병이 스트레스나 우울증과 관련이 있다는 것은 비교적 잘 알려져 있는데 다른 정신건강 문제와도 관련이 있을까? 당뇨병을 꾸준히 관리하는 것만도 수월하지 않은 당뇨병 환자에게 정신건강 관리를 하라는 것은 또 다른 부담을 가중시킬 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 효과적인 당뇨병 관리를 위해서는 정신건강에 관심을 기울이고 함께 관리하지 않을 수 없다. 건강하고 안정적인 정신건강 상태는 당뇨병 관리의 뒷받침이 되므로 당뇨병의 효과적인 관리를 위해 선행되어야 할 요소이다. 종종 정신건강 문제는 당뇨병 관리의 방해요인이 되기 때문에 이를 방지하기 위해서도 정신건강 관리는 당뇨병 관리와 함께 이루어져야 한다. 스트레스, 우울, 불안 등 정신건강 문제들이 어느 정도 해결될 때, 비로소 당뇨병 자가관리를 지속할 수 있으며 그 효과를 거둘 수 있는 것이다. 대부분의 당뇨병 환자는 진단기준을 충족시키지는 않더라도 적어도 가끔은 정신장애 증상을 경험할 수 있다. 일부 환자는 진단기준에 부합하는 장기간의 심각한 정신과적 증상으로 고통을 받기도 한다. 당뇨병 진단 후 당뇨병을 심리적으로 수용하고 관리하는 과정에서 정신장애를 경험하게 될 가능성이 높아진다. 정신장애도 만성질환의 속성을 가지므로 정신장애를 동반한 당뇨병 환자는 만성질환 관리의 부담이 가중될 수 있다. 따라서 정신장애를 최대한 예방하고 적시에 적절한 치료를 통해 심화되지 않도록 하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해 당뇨병과 관련 있는 정신장애에 대한 이해와 지식을 갖추는 것이 필요하다.

건강검사를 마치고 나면 우리는 당연히 결과서를 받는다. 그러나 안타깝게도 그 결과서에 써있는 전문용어나 수치가 도대체 무엇을 의미하는지를 아는 사람은 거의 없다. ‘건강소식’은 이번 호부터 이 수치와 용어가 무엇을 의미하는지를 해설함으로써 건강파악에 조금이나마 도움이 되고자 한다.
