This study recruited 1,334 second-, third-, fifth- and sixth-grade students at two elementary schools located in Daegu metropolitan city performing School Dental Examination Project in 2008 and investigated whether the students visited dental hospitals following results of the examination, how the parents remembered the results and how their memory was same with real results based on results of the examination, the parents' memory of results. The parents of second- and third-grade students showed good memory of malocclusion and number of Caries and higher consistency for dental caries. The parents of fifth- and sixth-grade students showed good memory of dental caries. Visiting rates of dental hospitals accordance with grade were 75.7% due to dental caries in second- and third-grade students and 60.5% due to malocclusion in fifth- and sixth-grade students. Among students with abnormal results of the examination, 77.1% of the children with dental caries of parents having same memory with real results visited the hospitals while 52.7% of those of parents having different memory with them did.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between school life stress, self-esteem and health promoting behaviors(HPB) of specialized high school students. Data were collected by questionnaires from 337 specialized high school students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. The results are as follows. The mean scores of male in HPB and self-esteem, were higher than that of female, however the mean score of female in school life stress was higher than that of male. The gender(p<.001), grade(p<.05), and health status(p<.001) affected the HPB significantly. The school life stress showed a significantly negative correlation with HPB, but the self-esteem showed a significantly positive correlation with HPB. Result of multiple regression analysis showed that the two factors, that were school life stress and self-esteem, affected the HPB significantly(p<.001) and made a 48% prediction. In conclusion, this study suggests that school life stress and self-esteem are significant influencing factors on HPB among specialized high school students. The effective HPB program and systematic health education are needed to increase the HPB of specialized high school student.

In this study, the effect of the anatomical practice extracurricular program on the major efficacy and satisfaction of medical health students was investigated. The research tool used a major efficacy survey, a program satisfaction survey, the major efficacy survey compared and analyzed the improvement before and after participation in anatomy practice and the satisfaction survey between anatomy pictures after completion of the extracurricular program. As a result of comparative analysis between the two groups, the effect on major efficacy was significant after the program progression, and in the case of satisfaction, the satisfaction of the anatomical practice group was higher than that of the anatomical picture group. Through these research results, when operating an anatomical practice extracurricular program, it is thought that operating an anatomical practice program rather than creating an anatomical picture improves the major efficacy and satisfaction score.

This study was conducted to understand the degree of personality and interpersonal relationships among dental hygiene students. The survey was conducted from April 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021. As a result of the study, personality was 3.42 points and interpersonal relationships were 3.46 points. In general, there was a statistically significant difference in both personality and interpersonal subdomains in interpersonal satisfaction and college life satisfaction (p<.05, p<.001). The more experience they had in clinical practice, the lower their scores for friendship and professorship among interpersonal relationships. Among the sub-domains of personality, morality and sociality were analyzed as having the highest positive correlation (r=.674), and in interpersonal relationships, the relationship between friends and professors was analyzed as high (r=.606). Therefore, for the holistic growth of dental hygiene students as preliminary dental hygienists and their adaptation to the dental care field, a long-term strategy and continuous educational approach are needed at the university for cultivating character and interpersonal relationships, which are the basics. In addition, various programs related to the duties of dental hygienists should be developed and methods to be applied should be sought.

In order to overcome practical limitations in installing, managing and operating MRI machines with expensive equipment, this study developed and utilized virtual reality (VR) experience education by combining virtual reality (VR) with magnetic resonance imaging devices. The Students who experienced virtual reality-based educational systems were surveyed to identify possible side effects during the experience and self-directed learning ability and academic self-efficacy surveys were conducted to analyze the impact of virtual reality-based practice on learning. In the analysis of the self-directed learning ability survey there was no difference in the average between the student group who experienced education and the student group who did not but there was a significant difference in the average for each group. Virtual Reality-based practical education is expected to provide an efficient practice system by providing new learning methods and opportunities for education that can be repeated anytime, anywhere regardless of time and space.

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship that adolescent stress perception level has with dietary habits and oral health behaviors in high school students. A survey of high school students in some areas of the Jeollabuk-do province of South Korea was conducted. Five hundred fourteen survey responses were used in the final analysis. As a result of the questionnaire survey, the following conclusions were obtained. The highest stress type was indicated to be academic stress (mean${\pm}$standard deviation [SD], $3.09{\pm}0.89$). The next was shown to be home (family) stress (mean${\pm}$SD, $2.85{\pm}0.84$). The possibility of using a dental clinic was indicated to be less in girls than boys (p<0.001). Regarding subjective oral health behavior, the possibility of visiting a dental clinic was low in those who thought that their own oral health condition was not good or moderate (p<0.05). Also, it was shown that the higher stress led to the higher possibility of visiting a dental clinic (p<0.01). Students with higher grades had a in the upper ranks were indicated to have high possibility of having a regular meal (p<0.01). Higher stress led to the significantly higher possibility of eating cariogenic food (p<0.01). Students with median grades had a high possibility of eating cariogenic food (p<0.01), while students with higher grades had a low possibility of eating cariogenic food (p<0.05). These resultss show that stress perception level influences dietary habits and oral health behaviors. Thus, there is a need to develop a program in high scholls to promote the physical and mental health of students to relieve stress. Substantial and systematic oral health education is thought to be likely needed to develop desirable dietary habits.

Objective: This study examined the use of mental health helping systems among college students in Korea. A behavioral model of health service utilization was applied to examine factors influencing different types of helping systems. Methods: A total of 454 college students from four universities participated in the survey. A self-administered questionnaire measuring help-seeking behaviors including formal health and mental health services, informal helping system, peer group, and family support was used. Results: Respondents frequently turn to family members and peer group when in need, and age, sex, mental Health status, and attitude and knowledge on mental illness were significant factors affecting help-seeking behaviors of Korean students. While older students and those with more severe symptoms were more likely to seek help from formal resources, students with more severe symptoms were less likely to seek help from informal resources. Male students and those with negative attitude toward mental illness were less likely to ask peer groups for help. Conclusions: Study results indicate that informal resources and peer groups can be significant sources of social support for individuals in their late adolescence and young adulthood, however, their role as gateways to professional help is limited. Student counseling centers should take on a more active role in reaching out; implications for developing peer leaders as counselors and self-help groups are discussed.
