This study was conducted to examine the academic stress, menstrual attitude, and dysmenorrhea of adolescents and to understand their effects on dysmenorrhea. The subjects of the study were high school girls and 131 people who agreed to participate in the study were analyzed. Correlation analysis shows that the more negative the person is about menstruation, the more severe the physical symptoms, the more active the action, and the greater the emotional change, the more severe the person experienced dysmenorrhea. Factors affecting dysmenorrhea in adolescents were physical symptoms and positive acceptance among menstrual attitudes, and 68.8 percent explained the variable. In conclusion, considering the positive acceptance of menstruation and physical symptoms of adolescents, it is necessary to develop educational programs that provide integrated knowledge to manage dysmenorrhea in school health, and further individual and multidimensional approaches such as emotional support programs for negatively experienced emotions.

This study was undertaken to identify knowledge, attitude, perception and nursing practice toward use of physical restraints, among nurses in long-term care hospitals. We further explored the impact of factors associated with nursing practice toward use of physical restraints. This was a cross-sectional descriptive study in which self-administered questionnaires were collected from 128 nurses working at 11 long-term care hospitals. Descriptive statistics, including t-test, one-way ANOVA, Welch's test, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression, were applied to analyze the data collected. Our results reveal that the participants possess moderate levels of knowledge, attitude, perception and nursing practice toward use of physical restraints. Significant positive correlations were observed between nursing practice and knowledge. Multiple regression analysis showed that the factors significantly related to nursing practice and use of physical restraint were knowledge (${\beta}=0.27$, p=0.002) and attitude (${\beta}=-0.17$, p=0.044), having a total explained variance of 9.0%. The findings from this study suggest that knowledge is the strongest predictor on nursing practice toward use of physical restraints. Thus, we propose that developing and applying evidence-based educational intervention programs to reduce the use of physical restraints in long-term care hospitals are required.

This study (1) explores female consumers' attitudes toward fat people and perceptions about plus-size models, (2) addresses female consumers' responses to models with different body sizes, and (3) examines the effect of plus-size model presence on female consumers' body image. We collected an online questionnaire from a total of 600 female participants in their 20's and 30's. Stimuli included six full-colored photo images of models with thin and plus body sizes (three in each group). Images were captured from the online shopping site of the fashion brand currently providing both average and plus-size clothes. Respondents were randomly assigned one of the groups by model size. Results support the sociocultural perspective that a thin/ideal body of models has a negative influence on female viewers' sociocultural attitudes toward appearance, mood state and body satisfaction. Findings also suggest that exposure to plus-size models can reduce negative media effects on females body image perceptions, regardless of individual body size.

The study is to find out any significant relations in clothing behaviors according to attitudinal body image and plastic surgery attitude. The sampling method was a convenient sampling, and the subjects were 190 male and 160 female students in Daejeon. The survey was conducted from June 20 to July 15, 2008. The data were analyzed by the frequency analysis, Cronbach' ${\alpha}$, factor analysis, t-test and variance analysis. The subjects who pay much attention to weights and appearances have a positive attitude to plastic surgery. As they concern their body weights and appearance, they have high exhibition of clothing. Those who think their body as being attractive have been more interested in clothing and fashion. The subjects who have positive attitude for plastic surgery are more interested in clothing and fashion, showing higher conformity of clothing.

This study classified respondents by degree of obesity using Body Mass Index(BMI) and investigated the differences in self-esteem, food lifestyle, social-cultural attitudes towards appearance, and diet-related attitude and behavior such as trial number of diet, exercise time and period, use of diet information, interest in weight control, diet motivation, and dietetic therapy. A survey was conducted with 258 adults between the ages of 20 and 29 who lived in Daegu and Uijeongbu from November $17^{th}$ to December $14^{th}$ 2014. Data collected from the respondents were analyzed using descriptive statistics, factor analyses, analyses of variance and chi-square tests. This study divided the respondents into three groups (the underweight, the normal weight, the overweight) according to Body Mass Index. The results showed that there were significant differences in food lifestyle (health-conscious, popularity-seeking, taste-seeking), social-cultural attitudes towards appearance, exercise time and period, use of diet information, interest in weight control, diet motivation, and dietetic therapy among groups classified by degree of obesity. However, there were no differences in self-esteem, convenience-seeking, and trial number of diet among them.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of sociocultural attitude toward appearance, social pressure, and stress on university students' body figure discrepancy. A total of 363 students were recruited from a university in C and A city. Data were collected by self-reported questionnaires from Oct 27 to Dec 9, 2016. Statistical analyses of the collected data were conducted using SPSS 20.0 and consisted of descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression. A positive relationship was observed between body figure discrepancy and female's sociocultural attitude toward appearance (r=.406, p=.006), peer pressure (r=.197, p<.001), parental pressure (r=.176, p=.002), and stress (r=.218, p<.001). Body figure discrepancies increased with peer pressure (${\beta}=.159$, p=.007), stress (${\beta}=.186$, p=.002), and BMI (${\beta}=.186$, p=.002), and these factors accounted for 10.9% of the body figure discrepancy. To reduce body figure discrepancy, it is necessary to develop health education and promotion programs that enable university students to manage weight and stress for health maintenance and to have positive self-assessment without being hurt by other people's view or evaluation.

However, the cognitive/behavioral aspect of body image had the effect on clothing attitude. 5) The self-esteem had no significant effect on clothing attitudes.

본 환자를 간호하면서 절단으로 인해 신체적 고통을 받고 있는 존재로서, 생각과 정서, 욕구를 지닌 존재로서의 환자를 돕고자 시도해 보았다. 신체적인 적응을 돕기 위해서 근력강화와 관절가동역증진, 통증조절, 보조기 착용을 위한 단단의 관리, 잔여관절의 변형예방에 중점을 두었다. 심리적인 적응을 돕기 위해서 환자가 절단 수술과 수술 후 변화된 신체외모를 수용하는 과정을 증시했다. 끝으로 사회적인 면에서는 의미있는 사람들의 집단속에서 존재하는 인간으로서의 환자에게 관심을 두었다. 환자의 우측 슬관절 가동역은 완전히 회복된 상태는 아니지만 목발을 이용하여 걷거나 기타 일상생활을 하는데 불편함은 없으며 앞으로 계속적인 노력을 통해 회복될 수 있을 것이다. 그의 좌측 고관절 가동역은 정상유지되고 있으며 절단부위는 보조기 착용에 적합하게 형성되어 가고 있다. 비슷한 처지에 있는 이씨환자의 도움과 환자의 독립적인 생활태도는 환자가 자신의 불구에 적응하고 일상생활에 적응하는데 많은 도움이 되었다. 협조적이고 동정적인 환자들과 의료진의 도움으로 환자는 보호된 병원환경내에서 신체적 제한점을 주목하고 자신의 불구에 적응하면서 타인들과 원만한 관계를 유지해 왔다. 그는 앞으로 사회에 돌아가서 생활하게 될 것이다. 우리 사회는 아직도 그들에 대해 편견을 가지고 있으며 직업적 교육적 의료치료적 배려가 부족한 상태이다. 사회속에서의 적응은 병원에서의 적응보다 훨씬 더 어려울 것이며 때로는 그를 좌절하게 할 것이다. 그의 신체적 결함이 자기 자신만의 책임은 아니며 어느 누구나 사고에 희생될 가능성은 있다. 사회인들이 그들에게 관심있고 수용적인 태도를 지니고 그들의 정상 요구와 인간으로서 동등하게 살아갈 권리를 인정하고 받아들인다며 좀더 쉽게 자신의 슬픔을 극복할 수 있을 것이다.
