The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of predisposing, enabling, need factors and oral health care factors to the dental utilization in 4,521 senior citizens based on the 5th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. As for the relationship of predisposing, enabling and need factors to the necessity of denture, higher academic credential and higher income level that were respectively one of predisposing and need factors led to a higher necessity of denture, and the relationship of these factors was statistically significant. As to influential factors for their dental utilization in Model 1, there were significant differences according to gender, marital status and whether to subscribe to private health insurance or not. In Model 2, the need factors of Model 1 were adjusted. As a result, the respondents who didn't receive any unsatisfactory dental treatment made 1.35-fold more dental utilization, and the respondents who complained about mastication difficulty made 1.34-fold more dental utilization. There were significant differences according to gender, age, marital status, academic credential, whether to subscribe to private health insurance, unsatisfactory dental treatment experience and mastication difficulty. Age, unsatisfactory dental treatment experience and whether to complain about mastication difficulty or not made statistically significant differences to the dental utilization in Model 3 that involved oral health status.

건설업에 종사하는 외국인근로자의 실태를 분석하고 그 대책을 제시하였다. 건설업에 종사하는 외국인근로자의 재해원인은 언어소통의 문제에 따른 안전교육효과의 문제점에 기인하는 부분이 크다. 언어소통문제는 전체 외국인근로자중 조선족근로자를 제외한 약69%의 외국인근로자에 적용이 된다. 전체 외국인근로자중 불법체류외국인 비율은 약15%정도이나 일부국가의 경우에는 불법체류자의 약58%에 달한다. 건설업에 종사하는 외국인근로자의 재해율은 전체 재해율의 약10%정도이며 건설업종사 내국인의 재해율과 비교하였을 때 내국인재해율 0.65%의 15배에 달한다. 외국인근로자중 건설업에 종사하는 외국인근로자의 재해율을 분석하고 건설업종사외국인근로자의 안전보건을 위한 산업안전보건법과 산업재해보상보험법의 적용성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 전체 산업중 건설업의 외국인근로자 안전관리실태를 분석하고 제시하였으며, 건설현장에서의 외국인근로자의 합리적인 관리방안과 지속적인 관리로 산업재해예방에 더욱 효과를 거둘 수 있는 방법을 개발하여 건설업종사 외국인근로자의 생명과 재산을 보호할 수 있는 방안을 수립하는데 연구의 목적이 있다.

Using data from the Korean National Health Survey conducted in the years 1989 and 1992, child and maternal ambulatory care utilization patterns were compared. Data from 3,002 families from the 1989 survey and 1,523 families from the 1992 survey which have a child 0-4 years old and mother in the same family were selected and used for the analysis. The results indicate that child medical utilization is closely accociated with maternal medical utilization, as measured by the number of visits to medical facilities. Maternal use appears to be a more powerful predictor of child use than any other family and maternal variables. These results confirm the result of the previous localized studies and suggest that intervention directed at the mother may be effective in ensuring equitable and efficient use of ambulatory services by childeren.
