The purpose of this study was to explore 1) the illness experiences, 2) health behaviors (causal thoughts), and 3) health beliefs (health behavior changes after cancer diagnosis) among Korean breast cancer survivors using focus groups, which is a form of qualitative research methods. Thus, this study intended to understand how the illness experiences and health beliefs are associated with health behaviors. Three focus groups composed of 16 breast cancer survivors living in Seoul and GyeongGi were conducted with 5 to 6 people in each group. For illness experiences, health beliefs, and health behaviors of breast cancer survivors, some major themes related to physical, behavioral, psychological, and social domains were identified. Understanding health beliefs and health behaviors for Korean breast cancer survivors will be an important step toward developing social work interventions for enhancing health promotion.

This study explores the health behaviors and related situations of Korean low-income breast cancer survivors using in-depth interview. The study derives 95 concepts, 23 sub-categories and 12 categories in open coding. Illness experiences were categorized by behavioral, psychological, and social domains, cognitive were categorized by causal and destiny thought, emotions were categorized by negative, positive emotion, reserve capacity were categorized by internal and external domains and health behaviors were categorized by behavioral, psychological, and social domains. Understanding illness experience, cognitive, emotion, reserve capacity and health behaviors for Korean low-income breast cancer survivors will be useful in developing social welfare interventions and for enhancing health promotion.

The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation of oral health behavior, oral health state and PHP in an effort to facilitate the promotion of oral health and improve oral health care. The subjects in this study were patients who got a scaling at the oral hygiene practice lab in the department of dental hygiene in S college dental clinic from September 5 to December 1, 2007. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS WIN 12.0 program. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. The younger patients had a smaller number of FT index, and the older patients excelled the younger ones in oral health behavior involving the use of oral hygiene supplies, regular visit to dental clinics and dietary control. 2. The patients got 2.62 out of possible five points on oral health behavior, which indicated that their oral health behavior wasn't good enough. Those whose oral health behavior was better had a smaller number of DT index and a larger number of FT index. A better oral health behavior led to a lower PHP index. 3. There was a negative(-) interrelationship between oral health behavior and DT index, and oral health behavior had a positive(+) correlation with FT index. The oral health behavior had a negative(-) correlation to PHP index, which showed that a better oral health behavior led to a lower PHP index. The above-mentioned findings seem to suggest that oral health behavior is one of integral factors to affect oral health status and PHP index, and the kind of oral health education that could change oral health care attitude should be provided during scaling practice after grasping the actual oral health behavior of patients.

This study was to identify factors related to the experience of violence damage, focusing on health risk behavior of multi-cultural and general adolescents in Korea. Data from the 15th online survey of youth health behavior (2019) was used to analyze 35,574 adolescents. The data were analyzed using complex sample analysis by using SPSS/Win 22.0. The multi-cultural adolescents had significantly higher experience of smoking and habitual drug use and violence damage than those ordinary adolescents. In both multi-cultural and general adolescents, the more they did not live with their family, the more they had smoking experience and habitual drug use experience, the higher they experienced violence. The experience of violence victimization of general youth was significantly related to gender, school, economic status, and drinking experience. To prevent the violence victimization of adolescents, social support for adolescents who do not live with their families is required, and careful attention is needed to adolescents who have smoking and drug use experience. In addition, since multi-cultural youth are more vulnerable to health risk behaviors and violence damage than general youth, educational programs are needed to induce multi-cultural youth to practice correct health behaviors and prevent experiences of violence.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of verbal abuse experiences, emotional labor, and health-promoting behaviors of nurses in small and medium hospitals and to identify the relationship between them. Participants were 138 nurses from 2 small-medium sized hospitals. Collected data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficients with the SPSS 20.0 for Windows Program. As a result of the study, 82.7% of them experienced verbal abuse, and there were differences in the degree of health- promoting behavior according to gender (p=.032) and department (p=.009). Besides, it was found that emotional labor was related to health-promoting behavior (p=.039), and spiritual growth (p=<.01), and stress management (p=.028) as sub-factors. Accordingly, this study will be used as basic data for developing strategies and customized programs to reduce emotional labor, increase health-promoting activities, and contribute to the stable securing of nursing personnel.

목적: 의료수준의 발전과 더불어 대중들의 건강요구와 건강증진에 대한 기대 수준도 점점 높아지므로 간호사는 대상자의 요구를 이해하고 양질의 간호를 제공하여 환자의 건강상태를 바람직한 방향으로 변화시켜야 한다. 따라서 이 연구는 환자가 인지한 간호에 대한 경험과 대상자가 경험한 간호에 대한 만족도를 파악하고, 그 관계를 규명함으로써 환자 간호의 질향상과 간호 만족도 향상을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구방법: 본 연구는 일 종합병원의 127명의 입원 환자가 간호 경험정도와 제공받은 간호에 대한 환자 만족도 정도를 규명하기 위한 서술적 상관관계 연구이다. 연구결과: 첫째, 입원환자의 간호 행위에 대한 간호 지각도의 정도는 각 항목별 비교 분석한 결과 신체적 간호행위에 대한 지각도가 평균평점은 2.74로 가장 높았으며, 또한 환자가 지각한 간호행위에 대한 만족도는 기술-전문적 간호행위(M= 3.55)의 만족도가 가장 높았다. 둘째, 일반적 제특성과 전체 간호행위의 지각도와 차이가 있는지 분석한 결과 연령(p< 0.1)에 따라 유의한 차가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 연령이 높을수록 간호행위에 대한 지각도가 높게 나타났다. 그리고, 간호행위에 대 한 지각도의 하부영역 분류중 신체적간호행위에 대한 지각도는 입원과(p< 0.05)에 따라 유의한 차가 있는 것으로 보였다. 또한 일반적 제특성과 전체 간호행위의 만족도와의 관계에서는 입원과(p< 0.05)에 따라 유의한 차가 있었다. 일반외과 환자가 내과 환자보다 만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 입원환자의 간호 행위에 대한 환자의 지각도와 만족도간의 관계(r= 0.39, p= 0.00)는 서로 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 본 연구의 대상은 1개 종합병원에 국한된 것이므로 연구결과를 일반화 할 때는 신중을 기해야 한다. 연구결과에서 보여주듯이 정신적 간호행위가 가장낮은 지각도로 나타났듯이 간호사는 환자들의 정신적 지지의 간호가 잘 이루어 지도록 노력해야 할 것이며, 또한 교육적 간호행위의 만족도가 가장 낮게 나타났으므로 보다 더 환자와 간호사간의 정보교환이 잘 이루어지도록 해야 한다. 연구결과를 기초로 하여 전 진료과 병동으로 확대 반복 연구를 제언하며, 환자의 간호 만족도를 향상시키기 위해 전문적 지식 및 긍정적 의사표현등을 포괄하여 간호사의 적극적 간호행위가 수행되어야 할 필요가 있다.

The degree of health behavior practice, 62.1% answered high while 17.7% said low. Factors that influence the degree of health behavior practice were sex, interest in health and experience of watching. In addition, men practiced 1.78 times more than women, those with more interest in health practiced 3.3 times of those with no interest, and those with watching experience presented 6.1 times higher practice degree than those with no experience. It was found that old people's recognition for TV health programs was positive, and the more frequently they watch the programs, the higher their practice of health behaviors was. In addition, old people's popularity rate of TV health programs means that they have a lot of opportunities to be exposed to information provided in health programs.
