The purpose of this study was to identify the changes in the risk factors of metabolic disease by compliance rate and numbers of health behaviors performed in the people who voluntarily participated in the metabolic disease management program implemented in a public health care center. Data were collected from a total of 168 people, January to June of 2015. Data were analyzed by paired t-test and ANOVA with post hoc test. The compliance rates were about 62% and 66% at 3 and 6 months respectively after implementing the program. Although the numbers of health behaviors performed was small, the participants with high compliance rate had significantly lower risk factors of metabolic disease after 6 months. Therefore the compliance rate is critically important to manage metabolic disease and enhancing compliance rate of health behaviors should be developed and investigated in the future studies.

연구 목적: 1980년대 이후 미국 여성들의 유방암 조기 진단을 위한 방사선 검진율은 급속히 증가하였음에도 불구하고 유색 인종의 여성들은 여전히 조기 검진의 혜택을 받지 못하고 있다. 유색인종 여성들의 낮은 검진율을 설명하기 위해 여러 건강행위이론을 이용한 관련 요인들이 연구되어 왔다. 이 논문은 미국 보건 의료관련 연구에서 가장 많이 쓰이는 다섯 건강행위 이론을 유색 인종 여성, 특히 한국 이민 여성들의 유방암 조기검진 이행에 적용하기 위해 사회문화적 적합성을 평가하기 위해 고안되었다. 연구 방법: 네 종류의 데이터 베이스(CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts)를 이용한 심층적 문헌 고찰을 통해 각각의 이론으로 유방암 조기 검진을 설명한 연구들을 모두 분석하였다. 연구 결과: 각 이론들의 배경, 주요 요인, 그리고 유색인종의 유방암 조기 검진에서의 적용 연구 등을 분석하였다. 결론: 서양 문화권 속에서 개발된 각 이론들이 한국적 정서와 행동을 설명하는데 명확한 한계가 있으며 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해서는 기존의 이론들을 면밀하게 재분석하여 한국적 특성을 담아낼 수 있는 새로운 이론의 도출이 요구된다.

A simulation study was carried out to delineate potential effects of the lake-induced climate change on crop productivity around Lake Imha which was formed after a multi-purpose dam construction in Andong, Korea. Twenty seven cropping zones were identified within the 30 km by 25 km study area. Five automated weather stations were installed within the study area and operated for five years after the lake formation. A geostatistical method was used to calculate the monthly climatological normals of daily maximum and minimum temperature, solar radiation and precipitation for each cropping zone before and after the dam construction. Daily weather data sets for 30 years were generated for each cropping zone from the monthly normals data representing "No lake" and "After lake" climatic scenarios, respectively. They were fed into crop models (ORYZA1 for rice, SOYGRO for soybean, CERES-maize for corn) to simulate the yield potential of each cropping zone. Calculated daily maximum temperature was higher after the dam construction for the period of October through March and lower for the remaining months except June and July. Decrease in daily minimum temperature was predicted for the period of April through August. Monthly total radiation was predicted to decrease after the lake formation in all the months except February, June, and September and the largest drop was found in winter. But there was no consistent pattern in precipitation change. According to the model calculation, the number of cropping zones which showed a decreased yield potential was 2 for soybean and 6 for corn out of 27 zones with a 10 to 17% yield drop. Little change in yield potential was found at most cropping zones in the case of paddy rice, but interannual variation was predicted to increase after the lake formation. the lake formation.

The purpose of this study was to find the distribution of the variables on the quality of life and the determinants of the sexual attitude and behavior of the unmarried female workers. This study was surveyed to the 306 unmarried women who worked in the small and medium scale industries in Kyungin area and analyzed the respondent's knowledge of sex, sexual behavior, health behavior, health status, satisfaction of working condition and recognition of working environment. The result of this study could be summarized as follows: The respondent's age are mostly early of twenties and their education level are high school and more. They recognize that their health condition is not so good but they hardly try to improve health condition. They think that their working condition are mostly unsatisfied and they also believe that they expose themselves to the toxic working environment. Although their knowledge of sex are low they have few chances for the education of sex and family planning. Their attitude of premarital sex are conservertive but the rate of approval of living together before marriage are high and the rate of premarital sex is around 15 percent. The premarital sex behavior are positively related with family size, living condition, knowledge of sex and working period but the sex experiences are negatively related with working period and knowledge of sex. As a result we suggest that the sex education and consultative program are necessary for improving the quality of life of the unmarried working women in small and medium scale industries.
