This study aimed to develop a scale to measure the family strength of single-parent families. We analyzed the everyday life and demands of single-parent families using the theory of family strength to draw 78 items that encompass family basis, relationships, roles, social networks and family culture. Using a sample of 286 single-parent families through an online survey platform, we examined the factor structure of the items and selected 48 items based on the results of the factor analysis. Reliability, criterion and construct validity were also examined. The final scale comprised of five domains ; basis, parents' role, work-life balance, social network, lifestyle and household management. This scale can be used as an assessment measure of the family strength of single-parent families for consulting, case management and suggesting various programs in the field. This merit will help enhance the quality of programing for single-parent families at the Healthy Family Support Center and the development of family strength scales for various types of families.

The aim of this research was to develop a climate change vulnerability index at the district level (Si, Gun, Gu) with respect to the health care sector in Korea. The climate change vulnerability index was esimated based on the four major causes of climate-related illnesses : vector, flood, heat waves, and air pollution/allergies. The vulnerability assessment framework consists of six layers, all of which are based on the IPCC vulnerability concepts (exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity) and the pathway of direct and indirect impacts of climate change modulators on health. We collected proxy variables based on the conceptual framework of climate change vulnerability. Data were standardized using the min-max normalization method. We applied the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) weight and aggregated the variables using the non-compensatory multi-criteria approach. To verify the index, sensitivity analysis was conducted by using another aggregation method (geometric transformation method, which was applied to the index of multiple deprivation in the UK) and weight, calculated by the Budget Allocation method. The results showed that it would be possible to identify the vulnerable areas by applying the developed climate change vulnerability assessment index. The climate change vulnerability index could then be used as a valuable tool in setting climate change adaptation policies in the health care sector.

Health Impact Assessment (HIA) in Korea is conducted for specific development projects within Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) system. However, as HIA is being carried out in the implementation stage of the development project, it sometimes has failed to take proper actions despite the significant adverse health impact. Considering an environment conflict regarding adverse health impact in developing industrial complex and the current application of HIA in EIA system, it is necessary to come up with an adequacy evaluation in the industrial complex development considering health impact. This study proposes an adequacy evaluation method considering health impact for the industrial complex development and embodies the method by applying it to actual cases. Referring to methodologies of US EPA's CalEnviroScreen 3.0 and US ATSDR's Public Health Assessment, this study proposed using indicators divided by community characteristic, background exposure and development burden as an adequacy evaluation method to consider health impact. Five indicators for community characteristic, three indicators for background exposure and seven indicators for development burden were selected through literature survey, and the weights for each indicator were calculated through Analytic Hierarchy Process's survey of experts related to HIA. Through a pilot application in the three government-led industrial complex development projects, the method was further elaborated by clarifying the evaluation data and subdividing the evaluation criteria for each indicator. Adequacy criteria of plan considering health impact could be presented in three ways to be linked to the government's policy stance on the industrial complex development criteria of total score, criteria of total score and community characteristic score, and criteria of total score and community characteristic allowed by development burden.

기후변화와 불투수지역의 증가로 인하여 하천 유량의 변동성은 점차 커지고 있다. 이에 따라 유량에 영향을 받는 하천환경과 다양한 생태계는 큰 영향을 받고 있음에 유량 관리가 매우 중요시 되어지고 있다. 하천 유량은 빗물이 지표면에 떨어져 직접하천으로 흐르는 지표유출과 지표면하의 암반층으로 침투되어 지하수가 되고 시간의 흐름에 따라 지표로 흘러나오는 기저유출로 구성되어 있다. 기저유출은 땅속에서 흐르기 때문에 흐름이 느리다. 이에 따라 강우가 발생하지 않을 시에 하천유량의 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 따라서 기저유출의 관리는 수자원의 관리에 매우 중요할 것이다. 국내외에서도 기저유출의 관리를 위한 연구가 필요하며 지표수-지하수의 연계관리를 위한 명확한 조명이 필요한 시기이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 기저유출의 분포와 지하수 의존형 수생태계가 미치는 영향에 대해서 분석하였다. 기저유출의 분리는 최근 많은 연구가 수행되어져 왔고 다양한 방법이 개발되었다. 일반적으로 시계열 유량자료를 통해 기저유출을 산정한다. 기저유출의 산정을 위해 두 가지 유량 데이터를 이용하였다. 검보정된 수문모형을 통한 데이터와 국내에 존재하는 관측데이터를 이용하여 지표유출과 기저유출을 분리하여 유역의 기저유출지표를 산정하였다. 기저유출지표는 총 유출량과 기저유출과의 비로 산정되는 유역의 특성을 나타내는 지표이다. 기저유출과 수생태계의 관계를 분석하기 위해 환경부에서 수행하는 네 가지 수생태건강성지수와 기저유출지표와의 상관성을 분석하였다. 수생태건강성지수는 부착돌말류, 저서성 대형무척추동물, 어류, 서식 및 수변환경으로 구성되었다. 기저유출 산정과 수생태계와의 분석은 낙동강유역을 대상으로 수행하였다. 낙동강유역의 기저유출을 산정하여 기저유출지표를 산정한 결과 0.4이상의 값을 나타냈다. 이는 하천의 유량 중 약 40%가 기저유출에 의존한다는 의미이다. 또한 월별 기저유출지표를 산정한 결과 강수가 적은 봄과 겨울철의 경우 0.7이상을 나타냈다. 특히 1월달의 경우 0.9이상을 나타내 겨울철 대부분의 하천 유량은 기저유출에 의존한다. 산정된 기저유출지표와 네 가지 수생태건강성지수의 상관성 분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 저서성 대형무척추동물과의 상관성을 나타냈고 나머지에서는 상관성을 나타내고 있지 않았다. 하지만 이는 아직 국내에서 수생태계의 건강성 조사와 평가가 이루어진지 얼마 되지 않았기 때문으로 판단된다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 기저유출관리 방안의 정책적인 도입과 연구의 시발점이 될 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the health behaviors and health indices according to whether a percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) was performed due to chest pain. This is a secondary data analysis study of nursing information questionnaires and electronic medical records of 247 chest pain patients in a hospital from January 2010 to December 2017. The participants were divided into non-PCI and PCI groups, and the health behaviors, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels were collected at the first hospital admission and re-admission. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0. As a result of the study, smoking and lipid levels were significantly healthier than the participants in PCI group during re-hospitalization. Non-PCI group had a high risk of smoking despite the high risk of coronary artery stenosis. It was found that continuous integrated management to promote health behavior is needed. The significance of this study was to identify the importance of health behavior in patients with the risk of cardiovascular disease.
