현재의 농업에서 농약의 사용은 불가결한 것이다. DDT의 등장으로 농약만능시대의 막이 열린 이래 세계에서 10만종 이사의 농약이 탄생했다. 현재 전세계의 생산량은 매년 1천만 톤을 넘어섰고 일본의 경우 등록되어 있는 농약수는 원체(화합물종류)로서 367종, 상품명으로서는 약 5800 종류가 판매되고 있다. 년간 일본의 농약생산량은 약 60만 톤으로 농약의 수출량과 수입량이 거의 같기 때문에 생산량이 사용량에 상당하는 것으로 본다. 농약의 식품오염의 측면에서 보면, 단위 면적당 세계 제 1위의 농약 사용국인 일본은 시장에 유통되고 있는 농작물에도 상당한 양의 농약이 잔류하는 것으로 본다. 물론 식품위생법에 26종의 농약에 대해 53작물을 대상으로 하는 잔류농약기준이 있지만, 농약성분이 400종 이상이며 산포 대상이 되는 작물은 53작물보다 훨씬 많다. 또한 한 두 종류의 작물밖에 대상이 되지 않는 농약도 많아서 잔류농약기준은 식품의 안전성 확보면에서는 부족한 것이 많아. 따라서 농산물 생산자 스스로가 농약사용기준을 정확하게 지켜주기를 바랄 뿐이다. 한편으로는, 이러한 현실에 비추어서 농약사용이 일상화된 농업자에게 있어 농약으로 인한 건강상의 문제 또한 적지 않다. 농업자의 건강관리 대책의 일환으로 실시하는 건강진단 및 조사에 따르면, 만성적인 질환뿐만 아니라 농약산포작업후에 나타나는 증세(기침, 피부이상, 불쾌감, 두통, 인후염, 구토)를 경험한 작업자는 예방의학적인 견지에서 농업자의 농약폭로실태파악 및 교육을 해오고 있으나 그다지 설득력을 얻지 못하여 보다 확실한 인체내 흡수량을 측정하는 방법을 생각하게 되었다. 즉 뇨중 농약 대사물을 폭로지표로 하는 생물학적 모니터링(biological monitoring)을 시도, 농업현장에 있어서의 그 실증과 유용성에 대한 검토를 하고자 하였다. 농작업 가운데서 가장 위험하다고 보는 농약산포작업 (수동식 분무기를 이용한 하우스작물 및 동력분무기를 사용한 노지작물)을 대상으로 생물학적모니터링을 실시한 결과 업자의 뇨로부터 농약의 체내흡수를 반영하는 농략의 뇨 분비성 대사물을 측정할 수 있었다. 즉 뇨나 혈액등의 생체시료를 이용한 생물학적모니터링의 농약에의 응용은 서구와는 달리 대부분이 규제가 없는 소규모 자가영농으로 정해진 농약사용지침보다 많은 농약을 사용한다거나, 또는 개인의 습관이나 작업환경에 따라 폭로조건이 달라서 실질적인 폭로-흡수의 정도가 불분명한 경우등에도 충분히 대응할 수 있어 농약사용자 개개인의 농약 폭로-흡수의 정도를 분명하게 밝힐 수 있다. 게다가 평가의 결과를 농약사용의 일선에 있는 농업자에게 피드백 하여 주므로서 농약에 대한 인식을 새롭게 하고 농약취급시의 건강장해예방행동을 촉구하는 등의 효과도 높은 것으로 예방의학적인 유용성이 크다고 볼 수 있다.

Digital accessibility of the middle-aged and elderly has been increasing at a faster pace than other groups such as the handicapped and adolescents. However, studies related to the digital accessibility of middle and older adults are scarce. In order to examine variables affecting accessibility to digital information of the middle-aged and elderly people, this study researches the impacts of sociodemographic, physical and mental health and social activity variables on the accessibility of digital information. We analyzed data of 1,661 people between the ages of 55 and 84 from the 2018 Status Survey on Digital Divide conducted by the National Information Society Agency. The hierarchical multiple regression analysis shows the higher education, economic, and life satisfaction levels are, the higher digital accessibility levels of both male and female are. The result of the analysis also shows that the aged male has a higher accessibility level when he does not live alone; meanwhile, the aged female has higher digital capability as her age is lower, which describes that there are differences between gender. We expect the result of this study to be used as an important reference to understand factors related to digital accessibility level and active intervention for improving digital accessibility of the middle-aged and elderly male and female.

Purpose: This study is a descriptive investigation study to identify oriental nursing curricular data, situation, and cognition which are ongoing in our country's educational institutions. Method: Data were collected from a hundred and seventeen nursing institutions(sixty four of three-year course and fifty three of four-year course) after distributing fourteen questionnaires by mail and collecting them by phone and internet browsing from Mar. 2. 2003 to Nov. 11. 2003 to identify oriental nursing educational situation. Results: 1) Oriental related subjects included mostly oriental nursing, introduction of oriental nursing, and introduction of oriental medicine. The credits were mostly two credits for four-year course, however, there were similar number of three-year courses of schools opening with one credit(53.5%) and two credits(46.5%). 2) The educational purpose of oriental subject was for reasons of citizen's increasing concern to the oriental medicine, need of integration of east-west medicine, and method of own traditional treatment. 4) In the prospect of oriental nursing, opinion of needs of continuous education to develop the theory and practice was the most, and there was opinion of progress of oriental nursing in accordance with oriental medicine, while there was one of no need of education also. Conclusion: Accordingly, we suggest a development of a program for developmental oriental nursing education and practice such as professional oriental nursing course for nursing leaders and nurses. and need for aggressive studies on oriental nursing for paradigm shift. In addition, it is prospective that the development of oriental nursing theory and practice could be recognized as an internationally competitive one of our own nursing knowledge system in world nursing market.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare depression and social support according to general characteristics and to investigate the influence of social support on depression. Methods: This study analyzed raw data from a project funded by Jeju Province. Data were collected through home visit interview with 750 households selected by using a randomized cluster sampling method. CES-D was used to measure depression, and the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey was used to measure social support. The data of 1,155 subjects were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and regression. Results: The mean was 11.35 for depression and 75.53 for social support. Women showed a higher depression score and a lower social support score than men did. Older people; the divorced or the bereaved; and those in groups comprising people with lower education, lower social class, poor health, or high stress presented higher depression and lower social support. The result of stepwise regression showed that social support was one of the predictive variables of depression, and 22% of variance was explained by social support in this study. Conclusions: Social support was a powerful predictive variable of depression, and it was suggested that to prevent and manage depression, strategies that enhance social support should be developed and evaluated.

This study analyzed the level of digital informatization and the level of human relationship satisfaction in the disabled group. The digital informatization level of the disabled refers to the level of smart access, smart capability, and smart utilization. For the sampling of persons with disabilities, the survey was conducted for persons aged 7 to 69 who were registered under the Welfare for Persons with Disabilities Act. Regression analysis utilized SAS 9.3.s through vitalization of local communities, and information education for the disabled is also important. The analysis results are as follows. First, the higher the digital access level of the disabled, the higher the level of interpersonal satisfaction. Second, the higher the digital information capability level of the disabled, the higher the level of interpersonal satisfaction. Third, the higher the level of digital information utilization of the disabled, the higher the level of interpersonal satisfaction. As a result, the higher the digital information level of the disabled, the higher the satisfaction level in the interpersonal relationship of the disabled. In addition, it was found that careful attention and policy review are needed to resolve the digital information gap of the government for the disabled who are marginalized groups. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the expansion of universal services of the marginalized groups including the disabled. In addition, it is important to form a culture in which the community embraces the marginalized class through vitalization of local communities, and information education for the disabled is also important.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the elementary school dietitian's status and recognition of nutrition education (NE) in Incheon. A cross-sectional study was carried out using a self-administered questionnaire and subjects were 100 elementary school dietitians. The results are as follows. As for training in NE, $61.2\%$ of the dietitians attended training in NE. After training in NE, $86.5\%$ of the dietitians who attended training in NE were more concerned about NE. Also $59.5\%$ of the dietitians gave students NE and most of them did as a weekly printout 2-4 times per month. There was a significant difference in experience of NE for teachers between subgroups by experience of training in NE; while $48.1\%$ of the dietitians with training in NE gave teachers NE, $20.0\%$ of the dietitians without training in NE gave teachers NE. The main reason for not giving NE was too much work load and low concern of school administration. Also $96.4\%$ of the dietitians answered that NE is necessary in elementary school and the main reason for being necessary was correction of unbalanced diet and good table manner, As for proper time to start NE for children, $51.8\%$ of dietitians answered 'kindergarten' and $45.8\%$ of them answered 'lower grade of elementary school'. As for effective type for NE, $59.5\%$ of the dietitians answered 'NE as a part of other subject' and $23.8\%$ of them answered 'NE as a separate subject'. Also $79.5\%$ of the dietitians answered 'teacher' as the suitable person for NE. Most of the dietitians recognized menu formation as the ideal major work load and office work as the most time-consuming work load. As to job satisfaction, most of them were dissatisfied with office work and NE. Therefore, it is nationally supported for elementary school students' health and well-being that school dietitians as NE specialists give NE with minimizing their office work and developing a standardized NE program.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to understand the status of continuing education of the EMTs of the Korean fire department, to identify demand of them for content, method, and forms of the education, and to present basic data for developing more efficient, effective continuing education programs. Methods : The subjects of this study were 850 of the EMTs of the Korean fire department who work for fire stations located in Seoul and part of Gyeonggi-do and directly provide critical care in the field. The data was collected between February 8 and 28, 2010. Using SPSS 17.0 program, we obtained frequencies percentages, means, and standard deviations, and performed independent two sample t-test, one way ANOVA, and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$. Results : 1) As for status of the existing continuing education for of the EMTs of the Korean fire department, in general, the hour of each education was "less than four hours" (51.2%), the instructors of the education were "doctors" (65.2%), the method of the education was "lecture" (83.3%), the material for the education was "educational materials and slides" (97.2%), and the results from the education were "not helpful in job" (55.1%). 2) The effects of the EMTs of the Korean fire department were mean 2.44(${\pm}.51$), the ability was mean 2.40(${\pm}.50$), and the attitude was mean 2.49(${\pm}.57$) points. 3) As for the demands of the EMTs of the Korean fire department on the next continuing education, they preferred "the advanced cardiac life support(ACLS)" ($2.64{\pm}.62$) most in subject content, "investigating the demands of 119 emergency medical technicians annually" (44.1%) in methods to select subjects of the continuing education, "doctors and professors of Department of Emergency Medical Technology" in instructors of the education (190 persons, or 39.9%), "lectures with practices" in methods of the education (30.1%), and "One per year" (41.6%) and "less than four hours" (67.2%) in the period and hours of the text continuing education they hope. Conclusion : The continuing education for the EMTs of the Korean fire department conducts without accepting the demands of the technicians, In planning of the next continuing education, the results of this study suggest that it is needed to develop more various and professional educational program by active acquisition of the demands of the technicians.
