Breastfeeding is an ideal approach for physical and emotional development of babies, as well as recovery of mothers. A breastfeeding education for female students seems to be an effective intervention to increase the Korean women breastfeeding rate. The purpose of this study was to evaluate their knowledge, attitudes, and other related breastfeeding variables for developing a design for a pre-parental breastfeeding educational information for Korean female students of childbearing age. The sample consisted of 205 Korean female college students, ranging in age from 20 to 25 years old. In this study, a self-administered questionnaire included 6 pages with close-ended multiple-choice questions, and included a cover page with 15 questions on demographic characteristics and personal experiences related to breastfeeding. Data analysis was done utilizing inferential statistics using SPSS 12.0 computer program. The findings indicated that breastfeeding education programs should focus on the practical aspect of attitudes toward. breastfeeding, and that educational information design should focus on the practical aspects of breastfeeding for all. levels of students' education by nurses. Therefore, education for female college students seems to be an effective intervention to increase breastfeeding rate. This study is useful for descriptions of educational activities to help female students develop positive attitudes to breastfeed, to help these students have confidence toward breast-feeding in future by providing correct information and practical techniques on breastfeeding.

본 연구에서는 부모의 체질량 지수로 알아보는 비만의 가족력, 출생시 체중, 모유 또는 분유 수유, 어린이의 식사습관 및 생활 습관, 부모의 학력 부모의 식이제한 태도 등의 변수들과 아동의 비만과의 상관관계를 검토하여 보았다. 1) 전체 대상 아동 110명중 20.1%인 23명이 OBI가 20%이상인 비만아였다. 두 군에서 평균체중과 OBI는 유의한 차이를 나타내었고(p<0.01), 남아에서 유의하게 비만이 많았으며(p<0.05), 출생시 체중이나 수유의 종류 및 출생 순위등은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 2) 식사 및 생활 습관을 비교해 보면, 비만아에서 음식 먹는 속도가 빠른 경우가 유의하게 많았다(p<0.01) 먹고 싶은 충동을 견디기 어렵다는 경우, 불규칙한 식사, 인스턴트 식품이나 패스트 푸드를 좋아한다는 답변, 간식을 많이 한다, 기름진 음식을 좋아한다는 답변 등은 두군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 텔레비젼 시청이나 전자오락을 좋아한다는 답변도 두군간에 차이가 없었다. 3) 비만군에서 아버지의 연령 (p<0.05) 및 교육수준(p<0.05)이 유의하게 높았으며, 부모의 BMI는 두군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 4) 비만아동의 어머니에서 인지적 제한 요소인 factor 1과 탈억제 요소인 factor 2가 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.05). 공복감 요소인 factor 3은 두군간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 어머니의 교육수준과 TFEQ의 factor 1은 상관관계를 보였으며(r=0.39, p<0.05), factor 1(r=0.38, p<0.05)과 factor 2의 점수가 높을수록 아동의 비만도는 증가하였다(r=0.34, p<0.05). 5) 만 5세 아동의 비만은 부모의 체질량 지수와 같은 유전적 요인보다는 아동 자신의 식사 습관이나 어머니의 식이제한 태도에 더 많은 영향을 받는다고 볼 수 있다.

Objectives. This study surveyed medical students attending clerkship to assess their attitude toward and knowledge about breastfeeding, and self-confidence to manage common breastfeeding problems. Methods. A self-report questionnaire was administered to the 323 medical students at four medical colleges in Taegu in May 1997. The response rate was 92.9%, but the respondents used in the final data analysis were 245 (75.8%) due to missing variables. Results. Overall, respondents showed equivocal attitudes toward breastfeeding (mean score 2.9 on a 6-point scale). Knowledge about breastfeeding was substantially low with the median % correct 39.2%. Of nine knowledge areas, weak areas were especially 'contraindications and barriers to breastfeeding', 'use of breastfeeding aids', 'expression and storage of breast milk'. Those reported to be confident to manage common breastfeeding problems were only 25.7%. Correlations between knowledge and self-confidence were not statistically significant except in college A (r=0.35, p<0.05). Correlations between knowledge and attitude were not significant. Conclusions. These results suggest that medical students attending clerkship in Taegu show equivocal attitudes toward breastfeeding, low self-confidence to manage common breastfeeding problems and have substantially limited level of knowledge. There should be more concerted efforts to improve this situation on the part of those involved in breastfeeding education.

The method of study distributed the measuring tools of knowledge with 33 items and the tools of measurement with 20 items on the attitude of breast feeding to the respondents directly, and collected them. The data were analyzed to use SPSS program. Unpaired t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and Multiple regression analysis were used for the calculation of difference between groups and the results were as follows ; 1. The breast feeding was 50.6% in the period of lactation for the respondents and the nuclear families were 81.7% in family constituent unit. In the future the wisher of breast feeding was 91.5%, the medical personnel was a major informer who enjoyed their best confidence, Besides the respond-ents responded that the proper period for education of the breast feeding was in a high school. 2.

This study investigated the effect of a health-related lifestyle on knowledge, attitude, control belief and behavior intention toward breast-feeding of male and female university students in order to develop a breast-feeding education program for students of childbearing age. The subjects were 445 university students (125 male and 325 female) residing in eight provinces in Korea. The overall percentage of subjects intending to breast-feed their baby was 80.7% (73.6% of males and 84.2% of females). Overall, 84.2% of the subjects had high concerns about their health status. Scores reflecting a positive attitude, knowledge, and control beliefs toward breast-feeding were significantly higher (p<0.05~p<0.001) in female students, students majoring in medicine, and higher grades. The students who scored high at attitude, knowledge, and control beliefs also had a significantly higher (p<0.001) intention to breast-feed. When we investigated the sub factors of attitudes toward breast-feeding, significantly more students taking nutrient supplements scored high for physiological factors (p<0.05) and health-related factors (p<0.01). Significantly more non-smoking and non-drinking students scored high for health-related factors (p<0.001) and physiological factors (p<0.001), respectively. The intention to breast-feed was found to be significantly higher (p<0.01) in students who did not smoke, but not with other health-related lifestyles. In summary, these results indicate that the majority of university students intend to breast-feed, with students having a positive attitude, higher knowledge, and stronger control beliefs having a higher intention to breast-feed. Although a student's health-related lifestyle affects their attitudes on the physiological and health-related aspects of breast-feeding, only smoking status had an observable connection on the intention to breast-feed. Thus, when developing breast-feeding education programs for students, we recommend efforts to enhance a favorable attitude, knowledge, and control beliefs toward breast-feeding.

본 연구는 20세 이상 여성들의 Pap 도말검사를 통한 자궁암 검진 수용도에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 규명하기 위해 시도하였다. 이를 위해 2013년 4월 22일부터 5월 24일까지 건강검진센터에 내원한 검진자들 192명을 대상으로 설문 및 면접조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 종교가 없는 집단에서 비검진 수용군이 45.8%로 검진 수용군의 32.3%보다 유의하게 높은 분포를 보였다($X^2=4.82$, p<.05). 둘째, 모유수유를 하는 집단의 비검진 수용군이 61.5%로 검진 수용군의 46.9%보다 유의하게 높은 분포를 하였다($X^2=0.61$, p<.05). 셋째, 타검진력은 검진을 하는 군이 검진을 하지 않는 수용군보다 4.62배 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다(95% Cl=1.15-9.84, P=0.006). 본 연구결과를 토대로 자궁암 Pap 도말검사 수용도에 일반인들의 부정적인 태도를 변화시킬 수 있는 더 많은 자궁암 검진 정보를 제공하는 것이 필요하다.
