Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare health related behaviors among adolescents in the rural area with those in the urban area in Korea. Methods: The data source was the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey in 2005. With two stage cluster sampling, a total of 58,224 sample was selected from 799 middle and high schools nationwide. The area was classified into county area, small to medium city, and large city, and then the county area was considered as a rural area. Data was analyzed with STATA 9.0 using the method of complex survey data analysis considering sampling weight, strata, and primary sampling unit. Results: The prevalence of health related behaviors among adolescents in the rural area was higher than the city area as following health behaviors: smoking behaviors of smoking experience, smoking experience before entrance to middle school; drinking behaviors of frequent drinking, high risk behaviors with drinking; dietary behaviors of omitting of lunch or dinner, less intake of fruits or milk, more intake of cooky; oral hygiene of less tooth brushing, less preventive oral care, more oral symptoms and less dentist visit; safety behaviors of less wearing of safety belt or protective device; general hygiene of less hand washing before meal or after visiting rest room. Conclusions: The health behaviors among adolescents in the rural area were generally poorer than the city area. The results showed national health program for adolescents should be conducted primarily for those in rural areas. Further study is needed to explore the factors related with the discrepancy of health behaviors between the rural and urban area.

This study aimed to design and operate a complementary integrated health management program based on the connection between the hypertension and diabetes management programs and the oral health programs at a public health center. It also proposed to suggest the phased evaluation indicators. In this study, 48 adults registered in the hypertension and diabetes management program were selected from the Gangneung public health center. The clinic-specific programs were led by dental hygienists and operated for visitors twice every two weeks. The programs were designed based on the logical model, and indicators for evaluating the structure, process, and outcome were presented and applied to the input, process, output, and outcome. The evaluation indices consisted of quantitative and qualitative indicators, and the planning and operation, goal achievement, and effect of each program were assessed. The process evaluations were assessed by the appropriateness of the managers and the operating fidelity of the programs. Indicators for evaluating the outcomes were gingival bleeding, oral health knowledge, oral health awareness, and the satisfaction of the participant and the manager. The clinic-specific programs resulted in positive changes in the evaluated outcomes. The integrated health management of visitors to the hypertension and diabetes management program is important as the general and oral health has common risk factors. Furthermore, long-term operation and continuous monitoring of oral health programs are necessary to evaluate the common factors in chronic disease management.

The introduction of smart technology provides accuracy, safety, and efficiency to both physicians and patients. Although interest in a clear aligner is increasing among users worldwide, the current clear aligner requires a visit to the hospital every one or two weeks for replacement, which is a very cumbersome process. There is also confusion among dentists and patients because about 40 to 80 devices are made, and calibration is done based on the order and duration of the clear aligner. Therefore, this study designed and developed a clear aligner management system so that communication between the patient and dentist can be smoothly performed by inserting the QR code into the transparent correction device. As a result, the size of the QR code was recognized as $6{\ast}6mm^2$ which can be used in the oral and the recognition distance was 100% within 12 cm. Since the dentist can remotely manage the patient with the proposed system and improve the correction effect, it is possible to manage patients abroad, as well as domestically.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long term effect of school-based oral health program on decrease of dental caries among elementary school children. The subjects of this study were total 727 students of one elementary school in Deagu, Korea. They had received school-based oral health programs for more than one year since 2004. This school-based oral health program included regular oral examination, fluoride mouth-rinsing, pit-and-fissure sealing, APF gel application, tooth brushing instruction and take the xylitol tablet after lunch during school days. The subjects' oral health status were examined by two calibrated dentists every year from 2004 to 2009. The DMFS index of $1^{st}$ grade to $6^{th}$ grade experimental and control group was 0.07, 0.39, 0.55, 0.67, 0.81, 1.79 and 0.31, 0.86, 1.07, 1.04, 2.71, 3.08 respectively. It's significantly different in $5^{th}$ grade(p<0.001) and $6^{th}$ grade(p=0.018) when it compare with control group. This study partially showed effect of school-based oral health programs on decrements of dental caries. This program should be expanded widely among elementary school in Korea. Xylitol tablet also recommended to included in school-based oral health programs.

보건의료기술이 고도로 발달되었다 하더라도 의료의 혜택이 필요할 때 누구에게나 언제든지 제공될 수 없는한 전체 국민의 건강요구를 포괄적으로 충족시킬 수 있는 제도나 방법이 필요하게 된다. 본 연구는 사회 집단의 최소 단위인 가정을 중심으로 수행되고 있는 지역사회 가정간호의 합리적 수행에 필요한 기초자료를 얻기 위하여 가정간호 요구의 사정 및 가정간호 수행에 관하여 연구하였다. 가정 간호(Home Nursing Care, Home Health Care)는 추후관리를 받아야 할 대상자, 고령자, 만성질환자에게 규격화되어 있는 병원간호를 가정이라는 친숙한 분위기에서 개별적으로 제공되는 가정 중심의 심리적 안정은 물론 시간과 경비를 절감하는 효과적 간호수단이다. 본 연구의 목적은 첫째 우리나라 농촌가정의 가정간호의 요구는 무엇이며 그 요구의 원인은 무엇인가\ulcorner 둘째, 농촌가정에서 가지고 있는 상병에는 어떠한 것이 있으며 행하여 지고 있는 가정간호의 내용에는 어떤 것들이 있는가\ulcorner 셋째, 가정간호 수행자는 누구이며 이에 대한 수혜자의 만족도는 어느 정도인가\ulcorner 본 연구의 방법은 1985년 6월 18일 부터 8월 7일 까지 C군에 거주하는 주민중 11개소 보건진료소가 소재한 반의 주민 전체 1,027명 중 상병자 159명과 30세 이상의 인구 440명, 가구주 239명을 대상으로 가정방문을 통한 면접으로 질문지를 기록케 하여 자료를 수집하였다. 연구의 도구는 첫째 간호요구의 측정을 위한 도구로 Virginia Henderson의 기본간호활동 14가지를 기초로 지역주민 50명과 현직 간호원 50명에게 개방질문으로 얻은 내용을 중심으로 제작하였으며 둘째, 가정간호수행에 대한 도구로 Orem의 간호이론 중 간호방법 5가지를 근거로 개발하였다. 본 연구의 내용은 보건진료원에 의하여 사정된 간호요구와 그 원인들을 인간의 기본요구 영역별로 분류하여 가정간호진단을 위한 지역사회 가정간호사정 및 진단도구로 쓸 수 있도록 개발하였으며, 상병자에 대한 가정간호 수행은 수행빈도와 수행내용에 따른 수행자와 수행 만족도를 측정하였다. 1. 가정간호요구에 대하여 1) 가정간호요구 측정은 신체영역 중 몸을 청결히 하고 몸차림을 단정히 하여 피부를 보호하기 내용에서 더위나 추위에 대하여 옷을 맞추어 조절하기의 요구, 적절한 식사와 수분섭취하기 내용에서 배변의 요구, 또한 몸을 움직이고 바람직한 체위를 유지하기 내용에서 한가지 자세를 계속하기의 요구가 높았고 정상호흡하기 내용에는 일상활동시 호흡에 대한 요구가 높은 편이었다. 사회, 심리, 영적 간호요구 영역에서는 자신이 신앙에 따라 예배하기 내용에서 신앙으로 어려움을 극복하려는 요구가 높았으며 여러가지 오락의 형태를 취하여 이에 참여하기 내용에서는 취미생활의 요구가 높았다. 2) 가정간호요구는 연령이 높을수록 높았고 성별로는 여자의 가정간호요구가 남자보다 높았으나 내용별 요구의 차이는 없었다. 2. 가정간호수행에 대하여 1) 가정에서 수행되는 가정간호내용으로는 직접간호가 가장 많이 수행되었으며 내용으로는 구강청결, 옷 갈아 입기, 투약, 음식투여, 대ㆍ소변보기의 빈도가 많았다. 건강한 환경제공의 간호수행내용에서는 적당한 실내온도 유지하기의 빈도가 많았으며 안내와 지도내용에서는 투약요령 알기의 빈도가 많았으며, 보호와 지지내용과 교육의 간호수행내용에서는 현 상태 인정하기와 투약 방법에 대한 교육하기의 간호수행빈도가 가장 많았다. 2) 간호수행자에 있어서 직접간호 수행은 본인 스스로 하는 빈도가 가장 많았으며 안내와 지도 및 교육의 간호수행은 전문가가 많았고 보호와 지지간호는 가족이 많았고 건강한 환경제공간호는 배우자에서 더 많았다. 3) 간호수행자에 대한 만족도는 직접간호 방법에서는 가족이, 안내와 지도는 배우자가, 보호지지, 건강한 환경제공 및 교육에서는 전문가에 의한 간호수행 만족도가 높았다. 4) 상병상태에 따른 주 증상은 관절통 요통이 가장 많았고 상병자는 남자가 많았고 주 중상에 대한 성별간의 큰 차이는 없었다. 이상 가정간호요구와 정도 및 가정간호 수행의 내용을 기반으로 가정간호사업의 시행이 시급하다는 결론을 내릴 수 있었으며 가정간호사업의 시행을 위한 제도적 보완개선책이 요구된다고 결론을 지을 수 있다.
