This study was to examine the level of cognition, emotion, and social context of young children's injury risk behavior according to age and gender. The participants were 150 children of 3 to 5 years old(boys were 75 and girls were 75). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and two-way ANOVA. The results were as follows; 1) 5 year old children knew potential injury risk better than 3 or 4 year old children. 2) Boys felt less afraid than girls on risk situation. 3) As age increased, the score of social context was higher. The score of social context of boys was higher than that of girls.

This study examined relationships between parenting attitudes and young children's injury risk behavior by age and gender. Subjects were 161 3- to 5-year old children and their parents. Instruments were the revised Parenting Attitudes Questionnaire (Reitman et al., 2002) and the Injury Behavior Checklist (Speltz et al., 1990). Data were analyzed by MANOV A. Results were that: 1) Fathers were more permissive to daughters; mothers were more permissive to younger children. 2) Older children had more injury risk behaviors than younger children; boys engaged in more injury risk behaviors than girls. 3) Fathers' authoritarian and mothers' permissive attitudes were positively related to children's injury risk behavior, respectively. Fathers' and mothers' authoritative attitudes were negatively related to children's injury risk behavior.

Dental caries in children has declined over the past few decades. However, Certain populations of children experience high levels of dental disease. To perform the highest quality dental care for the pediatric patient, the practitioner may need to use pharmacological means to obtain a quiescent, cooperative patient. Furthermore, complex treatment can impose high demands on the very young, making use of general anesthesia the preferred approach for some patients. General anesthesia is widely used to provide comprehensive dental treatment for children in USA and Europe and Scandinavia etc. Parental and patient satisfaction following completion of dental care under general anesthesia is reportedly high. Dental general anesthesia has disadvantage that it is expansive and carries a small but significant risk of mortality. However, It has the advantage of permitting treatment at a single visit, allowing immediate relief of pain and requiring little or no cooperation from the child. Rampant caries was the major indication for use of general anesthesia in the youngest age group or medically compromised patients. This study describe the characteristics of patient receiving comprehensive dental treatment under general anesthesia at the pediatric dentistry of Chonbuk National University Hospital in Jeonju, Korea in the 4year period between December 2001 and April 2005.

This study investigated the characteristics and factors affecting inpatient infants, children, and adolescents who experienced falling, using NHDIS data from 2008 through 2017, The study analyzed data of 116 patients who were under 18 and who experienced injuries (KSCD, S00-S99) by falling (KSCD, W00-W19). Frequency analysis, cross-tabulations, and multiple regression analysis were conducted, using SPSS 23. There were more boys than girls, and most of the falls occurred at the ages of over one to under six years old. Most of the children had respiratory diseases, and most had open wounds or bruises due to falling. Also, most of the falls were related to the bed. In the factor analysis, age (β=.318), the main diagnosis (β=.231), and injury (β=.169) except gender affected falling. This suggests that it is necessary to conduct fall prevention education for children, considering the developmental stage characteristics and age group. It is necessary to screen the risk group such as children with a disease with relatively less restriction of activities or with a hyperactive disorder, and to develop a related manual. Hopefully, the results will be used as the basic data for fall prevention education and creating a fall prevention manual according to the characteristics of children's developmental stage for patients who need hospitalization, their caregivers, and the relevant medical team.

역량(capacity)이란 진술된 목표를 수행할 수 있는 능력을 의미하므로, 목표란 그 목표를 성취하기 위해서 요구되는 역량의 구체적 요소, 양, 질, 그리고 역량의 소재를 결정한다. 건강증진이란 문제를 파악하고 해결하기 위한, 그리고 조직이나 사람들이 그들의 목표를 성취하기 위한 응용과학으로 발전되어 왔다. 문제를 분석하고, 문제의 원인이나 결정요인들을 파악하고, 그리고 해결책을 제시하고 이를 실행하는데 있어 효과적인 방법론이 중요하다는 점도 또한 밝혀졌다. 그러므로 효과적인 건강증진의 토대가 되는 방법론은 건강을 증진을 위한 역량으로 정의될 수 있을 것이다. 목표는 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 평균 기대수명을 향상시키는데 요구되는 능력은 생물학적인 그리고 행동적 건강위험을 감소시키는데 필요한 능력과는 다르다. 그리고 질병의 발생을 예방하고, 또는 상해를 예방하거나 모든 사람들이 좋은 건강상태를 얻고 유지하는데 동등한 기회를 갖는 환경을 조성하는 능력도 다른 특성을 지닌다. 방콕헌장은 현 단계의 건강증진을 위하여 건강에 대한 사회적 결정요인에 대한 해결책과 더불어 건강에 도움이 되는 사회적, 경제적, 그리고 물리적 환경을 조성하여 건강형평성을 달성하고자 하는 목표를 설정하고 있다. 지난 30년간 건강증진을 위한 역량에 대하여 많은 것들을 배울 수 있었다. 이러한 역량을 기르고 확대하는 것이 미래를 위한 도전과제가 되며, 비록 우리가 성취한 것이 많지는 않을지라도, 더 많은 것들이 필요하다는 점은 명백해졌다. 우리는 좀 더 야심 찬 목적을 가져야 하며, 이러한 목적달성을 위하려 좀더 의욕적인 노력을 해야 할 것이다. 전문분야로서 건강증진은 다른 사람들에 의하여 발생된 문제에 대한 대책이나 반응에만 중점을 둔 이방인으로서의 역할을 해왔다. 그러나 우리가 도전해야 할 과제는 좀 더 새롭고, 더욱 야심 찬 활동계획을 설정하고 우리가 건강해지고 건강을 유지하는데 필요한 생활환경, 작업환경, 여가환경, 영적 환경을 모든 사람들에게 제공할 수 있는 가족, 지역사회, 그리고 국가가 있는 세계를 만드는 우리사회의 능력들을 신장하는 것이다. 방콕 헌장은 건강증진을 위한 새로운 일련의 목표들을 제시하고 있다. 이제 이러한 목표를 성취할 수 있도록 역량을 기르는 것은 우리의 책임이 되었다. 이는 원하는 활동수준을 달성하기 위한 역량을 조율하고 확장시키는 것을 의미할 것이다. 구체적으로 기존의 건강증진효과성에 관한 증거들을 좀더 큰 규모의 사업으로 확대시키는 것, 공공정책을 개발하고 건강증진 상태를 평가하는 데 다양한 지역사회의 참여를 촉진시키는 능력, 언어, 인종, 성, 종교, 장애 등과 관련된 건강형평성의 문제를 파악하고 제거하는 노력, 그리고 정책결정과 인구집단의 건강과의 관련성에 대한 증거수집, 국가와 지역차원에서 사회적 의사결정 과정에의 적극적 참여, 다른 부문과의 건강증진을 위한 협력 등이 포함된다고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문은 방콕헌장을 분석함으로써 이러한 역량이란 무엇인가에 대한 본인의 의견을 제시하였다. 이러한 아이디어는 토론과 논쟁을 위하여 제시된 것이다. 명백한 것은 건강증진을 위한 역량은 전략이나 기술적인 능력 뿐 만이 아니라 정치적 능력이나 개인적인 능력도 포함된다는 점이다. 가치와 증거들이 정책이나 권력과 함께 결합되어야하며, 정치적인 논쟁 속에서 연마되어야 한다. 우리세계의 미래는 역량에 의존하기 때문이다.

This paper develops the argument that the 'Healthy Cities Approach' extends beyond the boundaries of officially designated Healthy Cities and suggests that signs of it are evident much more widely in efforts to promote health in the United Kingdom and in national policy. It draws on examples from Leeds, a major city in the north of England. In particular, it suggests that efforts to improve population health need to focus on the wider determinants and that this requires a collaborative response involving a range of different sectors and the participation of the community. Inequality is recognised as a major issue and the need to identify areas of deprivation and direct resources towards these is emphasised. Childhood poverty is referred to and the importance of breaking cycles of deprivation. The role of the school is seen as important in contributing to health generally and the compatibility between Healthy Cities and Health Promoting Schools is noted. Not only can Health Promoting Schools improve the health of young people themselves they can also develop the skills, awareness and motivation to improve the health of the community. Using child pedestrian injury as an example, the paper argues that problems and their cause should not be conceived narrowly. The Healthy Cities movement has taught us that the response, if it is to be effective, should focus on the wider determinants and be adapted to local circumstances. Instead of simply attempting to change behaviour through traditional health education we need to ensure that the environment is healthy in itself and supports healthy behaviour. To achieve this we need to develop awareness, skills and motivation among policy makers, professionals and the community. The 'New Health' education is proposed as a term to distinguish the type of health education which addresses these issues from more traditional forms.
