In order to prevent cervical cancer, free vaccination against cervical cancer(HPV vaccine) for 12-year-old girls has been ongoing since June 2016. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the media reported the risk information of HPV vaccine side effects and to suggest implications for government's risk communication and policy PR. The time frame was divided into two stages, stage 1(policy formation stage, 6 months before the start of free HPV vaccination) and stage 2(policy execution stage, 6 months after the free HPV vaccination was implemented). A total of 314 news articles on HPV vaccine safety and HPV Vaccine side effects were analyzed by content analysis and network analysis. The number of articles increased at stage 2 and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasized the safety of HPV vaccine and encouraged the inoculation while highlighting the effectiveness of the vaccine. Regarding HPV vaccine side effects, cases against vaccination in Japan were mainly reported at stage 1, whereas cases of HPV vaccine side effects from other countries such as Europe and USA were frequently reported at stage 2. In order to increase vaccination rate of HPV vaccine, it is time to take a strategic approach to prevent vague fear or anxiety about the vaccine.

The purpose of this study is to identify factors that influence HPV(human papilloma virus) vaccination intention and behavior for mothers with a teenage daughter as the subject of HPV vaccine free inoculation from 2016 based on the theory of planned behavior. For attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavior control, intention, we used a tool modified and supplemented by Hye-Min Park, Hyu-Ei Oh. from June to September 2017, data of 249 people were collected and analyzed by SPSS Statistics 21.0 program. The results of this study showed that the factors affecting the HPV vaccination intention of the subject were attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavior control in order. In addition, the factors influencing HPV vaccination behavior were found to be level of education, subject's vaccination status, recommendation of health care provider, vaccination status of surrounding people, intention etc. Therefore, in order to increase the vaccination rate, we need to find a way to consider the factors influencing vaccination behavior and maximize the vaccination rate.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influenza vaccination rate and vaccination-related factors in adult diabetics in Korea using the Korean Community Health Survey (KCHS). Data on 228,261 adults aged 19 years and over were derived from the KCHS, which was conducted in 2015. Sociodemographic factors, health behavior, comorbid diseases, and subjective health status were analyzed for their relationships with influenza vaccination by the chi-squared test and multiple logistic analysis. As a result, the level of influenza vaccination rate among adult diabetics in Korea was as low as 62.4%. For those with diabetes, Influenza vaccination was related with age, gender, education level, residency, marital status, occupation, smoking, health screening, and comorbid diseases (p<0.05). In conclusion, in order to increase the influenza vaccination rate among diabetic patients, systematic education and publicity are essential to raise awareness of vaccination. At the same time, the government should support them with their policies such as free vaccination expansion.

Objectives: This study was conducted to understand the status of influenza vaccination in some rural communities and to apply the results to formulate a counterplan for influenza prevention. Methods: The authors conducted a questionnaire survey from May 26 to May 29, 2003 among the residents in two rural communities: 602 people at the village Gigye-myeon and 965 at the village Cheongsong-gun. For statistical analysis the chi-square test and chi-square for trend method were used. Significance was set a p<0.05. Results: The study group contained 722 (46.1%) males and 845 (53.9%) females. In response to the question 'Influenza vaccination must be taken every year', 845 people (86.0%) replied 'Yes'. In response to the question 'Influenza vaccination can prevent cold', 224 people (20.8%) replied 'No'. The rate of influenza vaccination increased every year from 2000 to 2002 (p<0.05) and was lower for those under sixty-four than for those over sixty-five. In response to the question 'Plan to receive influenza vaccination in 2003', 531 people (52.8%) responded they will have influenza vaccination. Conclusions: Many people had a wrong perception about influenza vaccination. Therefore, their wrong perception must be corrected by a publicity campaign. The rate of influenza vaccination for those from over fifty to under sixty-four should be increased by public policy because they are as susceptible to influenza as those over sixty-five. This study produced meaningful results from the investigation into the status of influenza vaccination for the residents in rural communities and these findings can be utilized in the formulation of future influenza vaccination policy.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the vaccination rate for pneumococcus among aged 65 or older, and at the same time to determine the reasons for vaccination or non-vaccination. Methods: The population of this study was aged 65 or older, with a total of 1,150 subjects to be analyzed and a computer assisted telephone interviewing was used. The survey included pneumococcal vaccination status, reasons of vaccination, sources of information on vaccination, reasons for not vaccination, and other related factors. Results: The vaccination rate for pneumococcus among aged 65 or older was 56.2 percent, lower than 69.0 percent in the U.S. (2017), and 69.2 percent in the U.K. (2019). Among the factors related to the pneumococcal vaccination, the groups with the high vaccination rate were women, low age groups, residents of urban areas, people without a job, people with high education, medical insurance subscribers, married people, and people who have family members. In addition, the groups with high vaccination rates were those with high awareness, those who received recommendations from doctors, those who had vaccination records, those who believed in vaccination effects, and those who saw public service advertisements. Conclusions: In the future, it is necessary to develop alternatives to accurately manage vaccination records for adults who are not eligible for state support, and regular adult vaccination rates should be calculated so that they can be used as evidence for the country's infection control policy.

현재 우리나라 보건소사업을 Part별로 토의된 것을 대략 요약해보면, 정부에서 근래에 시도하고 있는 진료대상이 한정된 영세민이나 생보호자에게만 국한되어 있으며, 치료보다는 예방에 힘써야 하겠다는 점을 들 수 있겠고, 모자보건의 무료분만을 대폭 완화하여 최소한 보건소에 등록되어 있는 임산부만이라도 모두 혜택을 주는 방향과 적기에 예방접종을 실시하도록 하며, 결핵은 조기발견, 조기치료, 예방접종이 중요하다는 것을 결핵사업에 종사하는 모든 요원들이 주민들에게 인식시킬 것이며, 가족계획에 있어서는 모자보건향상에 목적을 두고 사업이 이루어져야 한다는 점을 아울러 강조한다. 끝으로 선진국은 인구 2,000명에 보건간호원 1인 꼴인데 우리나라는 12,000:1이므로 선진국에 비해 6:1이나 되는 보건간호원의 업무과다로 질적인 사업의 기대가 어려우므로, 인력과 경제소모를 억제할수 있도록 기구개편이 필요하며, 간호원이 가정방문시 기능별로 $4\~5$인의 중복방문으로 인한 인력낭비와 사업 우선 순위가 혼돈되어 전반 간호사업이 시급하다는 점을 들 수가 있다.

Purpose : To investigate the feature of the range of measles in 2000, we studied epidemics of the measles in western Kyungnam District. Methods : Among 489 patients under 15 years of age who visited or were admitted to in our hospital from January to December in 2000, we selected 344 patients whose measles IgM antibody was positive. We investigated age, monthly incidence, clinical features, vaccination history, and measles IgG antibody. Results : Patients under 12 months of age occupied the largest proportion(36.9%). Patients firstly occurred in May and geometrically increased from October. Fever, cough and rashes were observed in all patients but conjunctivitis in 54.9%, Koplik spot in 23.8%. The first vaccination ratio was 41.8%. Compared with the number of patients and the first vaccination ratio, the first vaccination ratio was the lowest under 12 months of age. After that age group, the number of patients was decreased as the first vaccination ratio was increased. Among 152 patients sampled for measles IgG antibody, 35 patients had received the first vaccination and 6 patients had received the second vaccination. Among 35 patients who received the first vaccination, 22(62.9%) patients were negative of measles IgG antibody. Among 6 patients who received the second vaccination, 3(50%) patients were negative. Conclusions : Measles patients under 12 months still dominated. Therefore, routine vaccination of single measles vaccine, is currently done at 6 month when measles are prevalent, should be considered. High first vaccination failure suggests problems of vaccines itself, transport and storage rather than vaccination methods. Therefore a thorough investigation should be made.

세계에서 매년 약 1,000만명의 새로운 암환자가 발생하고 있으며, 650만명이 암으로 사망하고 있다. 우리나라에서도 매년 약 85,000명의 새로운 암환자가 등록되고 있으며, 55,000명이 암으로 사망하고 있다. 이는 우리나라 전체 사망자의 20%를 차지하는 수치로서 사망원인으로는 단연 1위에 해당한다. 이처럼 암 발생과 암으로 인한 사망이 급격하게 증가함에 따라 암을 일으키는 원인인자를 밝히고 이러한 원인을 제거하여 암을 예방하려는 노력들이 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 실제로 몇몇 암의 경우에는 그 발생 원인들이 일부 밝혀지고 있는데, 대표적으로 금연을 통하여 폐암의 발생을 예방하고 간염백신 접종을 통해 간암을 예방하는 경우 등이다. 한편, 세계보건기구에서는 의학적인 관점에서 암 발생인구 가운데 1/3은 예방가능하고, 1/3은 조기진단만 되면 완치가 가능하며, 나머지 1/3의 환자도 적절한 치료를 한다면 완치가 가능한 것으로 보고하고 있다. 특히 우리나라에서 가장 흔한 위암, 유방암, 자궁경부암, 대장암 등은 조기에 발견할 경우 거의 완치가 가능하기 때문에, 이러한 암들에 대해서 정기적으로 검진을 실시할 겨우 암으로 인한 사망을 상당수 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 이에 정부는 2002년부터 저소득층을 대상으로 위암, 유방암, 자궁경부암에 대해 조기검진을 무료로 실시하고 있으며, 암 예방 교육 및 홍보를 통하여 국민들에게 암에 대한 정확한 지식과 조기검진의 중요성을 전달하고, 나아가 생활양식의 변화를 유도하여 암을 예방하도록 하는 마스터플랜을 추진하고 있다.
