  • 잘 쓰면 약이고 못 쓰면 독이 된다는 '약'에 대한 금언처럼 필요할 때만 적정 용량을 최적의 시간에 복용해야 하는데 실상은 그렇지 못하다. 수요가 고급을 창출한다는 경제 원리에 따라 의약품이 20~30년 전에 비해 값싸게 공급되다보니 의약분업 시행에도 불구하고 불필요한 약을 먹게 되는 경우가 많다. 약의 폐해와 안전하고 비용 대비 효율이 높은 약물 복용법에 대해 알아본다.

  • Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the present condition of drug abuse and its association with depression, self-rated health and health behaviors by job status in Korean adults. Methods: Data were derived from the study on four addiction problem and suicide in 2014. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze patterns of drug abuse according to depression, self-rated health and health behaviors. Results: The prevalence of drug abuse during the past year was 17.1% of the 4,018 subjects. About 3.3 times risk for drug abuse was found among individuals who had high depression scores. The risk of drug abuse was higher among those who were smoking (OR:1.46, 95% CI:1.17~1.83), drinking more frequently (OR:1.30, 95% CI:1.07~1.58), sleeping insufficiently (OR:1.31, 95% CI:1.03~1.67), eating irregularly (OR:1.45, 95% CI:1.19~1.76). Drug abuse problem was detected more seriously among employed than unemployed adults. Conclusion: Health-related behaviors, such as smoking, drinking, sleeping, eating should be considered simultaneously when designing strategies to deal with drug abuse problem, and it is important to understand the interaction between drug abuse and mental health. Furthermore, workplace based intervention can be effective in solving drug abuse problem.

  • 우리 사회에서 개인이 복용하고 있는 약물의 종류와 수가 점점 늘어나고 있다. 약물의 사용이 증가하면서 때로는 치명적일 수 있는 약물 오남용 또한 빈번히 발생하고 있으며 특히 노년층과 같이 약품을 정확하게 구별할 수 없는 사람들은 더욱더 그 위험에 노출되어있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 간단한 사진을 찍는 행위를 거치면 약물의 정보를 제공하고, 복용법을 알 수 있는 모바일 애플리케이션에 관하여 기술한다. 이를 구현하기 위하여 세밀한 시각적 분류 (Fine-Grained Visual Categorization, FGVC) 기법과 광학 문자 인식 (Optical Character Recognition, OCR) 기법을 결합한 인공지능 모델을 사용하였으며, React Native 를 사용하여 운영체제에 종속되지 않도록 애플리케이션을 제안한다. 이 애플리케이션은 노년층에 친화된 UI/UX 로 디자인되었으며, 약물의 정보 제공 이외에도 개인 약물 관리, 주변 약국 길 찾기 등의 편의 기능을 통해 노년층에 삶의 질 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

Methods: This study used a non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design. For the study, 116 subjects were assigned to the control group and another 116 subjects were assigned to the experimental group. The medication management education program consisted of 1:1 education, practice in medication management, consultation, and discussion. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 program. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the experimental and control groups in terms of their knowledge of medications and medication misuse behaviors. Conclusion: The results indicate that the medical management education program is effective in improving the knowledge of medications and decreasing medication misuse behaviors. Therefore, this education program can be used as an intervention to improve the medication behaviors of the elderly in local communities.

  • Currently, people are exposed to many harmful diseases. Therefore, there are many schemes, such as automation of productive facilities, development of information and communication technology, enhanced the quality of human life and wealth. However, these processes lead to weakened immune system. Thus, people are more vulnerable to infections from pathogens and environmental stress. Misuse and abuse of drugs resulted in the rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant microbes and tumors, therefore, to find new antibiotics are urgently needed. One of them is a peptide-antibiotic, that is not or less occurred a drug-resistance, comparing to conventional drugs. Peptides with various antibiotic activities have been identified from life organisms. The present review provides an overview of activities and application of peptide antibiotics.

  • Background: The appropriate use of drugs is very important for a healthy life, as appropriate medication must be taken correctly for successful treatment of a disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the self-efficacy between health status and drug abuse behavior. Methods: The subjects of this study were selected from 15 workshops located in Seoul, Incheon, Daejeon, and Chungnam, and, convenience sampling was conducted for each employee between September, 2017 and October 2017. A total of 204 questionnaires were analyzed. The questions evaluated health status, self-efficacy, drug abuse behavior, and general characteristics. Results: First, there was no difference in health status according to the general characteristics of the subjects. The self-efficacy varied according to gender, educational background, and monthly income, but not by marital status and residence area. In addition, drug abuse behaviors differed according to gender, residence area, and monthly income, but not by marital status and education level. Second, drug abuse behavior negatively correlated with health status and self-efficacy. Third, regression analysis showed that the self-efficacy between the health status and drug abuse behavior had a partially mediating effect. Conclusion: In patients with poor health status, it is necessary to increase their self-efficacy to reduce reduce drug abuse. Therefore, regular education programs targeting efficacy and drug knowledge are required in the community.
