Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the influence of knowledge, attitude and preventive health behavior of cancer on nicotine dependency in male college students who have a habit of smoking. Methods: In this study, a cross-sectional survey design was adopted for the 254 male college students who smoke in D and S city. The data was analyzed for descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 20.0 program. Results: Knowledge about lung cancer (${\beta}=-.407$, p<.001), preventive health behaviors about cancer (${\beta}=-.223$, p<.001) and the smoking period ($5years{\leq}$) (${\beta}=.198$, p=.001) were identified as the factors influencing nicotine dependency of the subjects. The model explained 33% of variance in nicotine dependency (F=20.49, p<.001). Conclusion: The results suggest that anti-smoking educators should include the strategies to increase knowledge about lung cancer and preventive health behaviors of cancer, and to reduce the smoking period in their smoking cessation program.

Purpose: The study was to identify the relationships between levels of knowledge, attitude and preventive health behavior about cancer in university students. Methods: The data were analyzed with the SPSS/Win 18.0 program. The participants of this study were 200 university students. Three kinds of instruments were used for this study, questionnaires about cancer-related knowledge, attitude and preventive health behavior from Suh et al. (1998). Results: The mean score for knowledge about cancer was $14.33{\pm}5.32$, the mean score of attitude toward cancer was $31.76{\pm}3.75$ and the mean score of preventive behavior for cancer was $57.20{\pm}8.48$. There was slightly positive correlation between knowledge of cancer and attitude toward cancer. There was positive correlation between the attitude toward cancer and preventive health behavior for cancer. Conclusion: It is necessary to consider the related factors for the development and implementation of systematic education programs that can encourage and promote preventive health behavior for cancer among university students.

Self Regulatory Focus Theory explained two different self-regulatory systems(promotion focus and prevention focus) to achieve a goal. According to this theory, people have different type of goal(approach pleasure and avoid pain) and use different type of strategy to achieve the goal. Promotion focus targets their attention to positive outcomes and the achievement of gains. On the other hand, prevention focus targets attention more to negative outcomes and the avoidance of losses. Also, promotion focus tends to use approach and eager strategy to achieve the goal and prevention focus tends to use avoidance and vigilant strategy. This study examined the effects of self regulation focus on attitude and intention toward business start-up. We proposed that promotion focused people will respond more positively to the attitude and intention toward business start-up than prevention focused people. This likely because promotion focused people tend to focus more ideals and gains, where prevention focused people tend to focus more safety and risk. And also we proposed that these effect will be influenced by psychological distance. This study investigated these relationships using 186 under graduate students. The result of analysis indicated that promotion focused people responded more positively on the intention toward business start-up than prevention focused people. But it had not any effect on the attitude toward business start-up than prevention focused people. Self regulation focus and psychological distance turns out to be a significant factors that influence attitude and intention toward business start-up. Finally, we concluded with a discussion of the implications of the research findings and directions for future research.

In this study, we investigated the joint effects of message framing (profit vs. loss) and source type (celeb vs. general) on the persuasive effectiveness of mass media campaign to prevent drunk driving. As a result of conducting an experimental study on 218 motorcycle drivers in Vietnam, the main effects of message framing were not significant, but the interaction effect with the type of information source consistently influenced the attitude toward the advertisement, the drunk driving prevention, and the behavior intention Specifically, it is more persuasive to send a message by a general model rather than an celebrity when the loss framing method is used while it is more persuasive to send a message by a celebrity model than a general model when the gain framing is used. This study therefore provided valuable information and practical implication to the National Traffic Safety Committee of Vietnam for establishing a campaign to prevent drunk driving. In addition, this research also has valuable theoretical implication because it examines the effect of drunk driving prevention campaign on the attitude toward not only advertisement and the drunk driving prevention but also the behavior intention.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge, attitude and preventive behaviors of tuberculosis in male high school students and to identify the factors influencing preventive behaviors and to provide basic data for the development of prevention programs for tuberculosis of male high school students. Methods: This study was conducted from May 1, 2018 to May 30, 2018, and six high school students in S city and Y city of Jeonnam were selected. 465 male high school students in the first grade were selected. Collected data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, pearsons's correlation and Multiple regression analysis by SPSS/WIN 21.0 program Results: As a result, the knowledge score was 11.92, the attitude score was 28.32 and the prevention behavior score was 30.07. All of these correlations were statistically correlated. In addition, factors influencing preventive actions against tuberculosis were attitude toward tuberculosis, exercise, health status, and sleep time Conclusion: Based on the above results, it is thought that to improve the preventive behavior of tuberculosis in male high school students, it is necessary to develop a practice-oriented program for forming healthy lifestyle as well as to change the attitude toward tuberculosis positively.

연구배경: 최근 청소년 흡연의 저연령화 문제가 심화되고 있어 청소년 흡연 대책마련이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 그 중에서도 흡연예방교육은 근본적인 문제를 해결할 수 있는데, 우리나라의 교육여건상 흡연예방교육을 위하여 할애할 수 있는 시간과 독립성, 교육내용상의 질을 한꺼번에 개선하기는 매우 힘들다. 이과 같은 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구는 기존의 교과 과정의 구조에 체계적인 연계성 이론을 적용하여 통합적인 흡연예방 프로그램을 구상하게 되었다. 연구방법: 수직적/수평적인 연계성 이론에서 통합성, 접합성, 연결성의 3가지 영역을 적용하기 위한 방법은 다음과 같다. 1) 지식, 태도, 기술, 행동에 따른 일반적 가이드 라인을 재조성하였다. 2) 효과적인 흡연예방을 위한 사회/심리적인 요인을 기존 교과와 같이 보완할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 3) 기존 교과서의 내용을 분석하여 흡연예방과 관련된 효과와 단원을 파악하여 2)과 3)을 접합하였다. 4) 연결성은 거시적인 관점에서 지금까지 개발된 모든 요소들이 관련되어 있음을 보여 주어야 하므로, 본 연구는 가이드라인, 강화내용, 각 교과 단원이 모두 연결되어 있음을 보여주는 표 제시로 완성하고자 하였다. 이 연구를 위하여 각 교과를 대표하는 교과서 총 111권이 검토되었다. 연구결과: 청소년 흡연예방에 효과적이라고 알려진 사회/심리적인 모든 요인들은 사회, 윤리, 도덕 등의 교과에서 충분히 다루고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나, 흡연과 직접적으로 관련되어 있지 않기 때문에 흡연예방교육과 상관이 없다고 여겨질 수 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 각 관련 교과와 단원, 흡연예방관련지도를 제안하는 교사용 보완 지도자료 지침서가 개발되었다. 흡연예방교육에 필요한 모든 교육적인 요소들이 수직적(초중고등학교), 수평적(각 교과간)으로 연계되어 있음을 보여 주었다. 연구결론: 독립적인 흡연예방 프로그램을 개발하기 보다는 이와 같이 기존의 커리큘럼에 구조적으로 통합할 수 있는 흡연예방 프로그램이 비용-효율적일 수 있다.

This study is a descriptive survey to examine the dementia related attitudes and dementia preventive behaviors in middle aged and to determine the relationships between the both sides. In this study, between October 1st and 9th, 2017, data were collected from the middle aged people in their 40s~60s in Korea through online questionnaires. Finally, 220 questionnaires were analyzed by t-test One way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and etc. The results of the study are as follows. First, 52.7% of the subjects were interested in prevention of dementia, but only 5.9% of them had experience of receiving education related to dementia. Second, fear of dementia was higher than cancer, cerebrovascular disease, and cardiovascular disease, but confidence in coping with the disease, expectation of the possibility of maintaining the daily life, expectation of the help of the family and the surrounding people, expectation of the national medical and economic support were significantly lower. Third, as the dementia preventive behaviors were implemented, the confidence in overcoming the disease, the expectation of the possibility of maintaining the daily life, the expectation of the help of the family and the surrounding people, the expectation of the medical and economic support of the country increased and the burden of the treatment cost was lowered. As a result, it is thought that this personal and social effort will improve the quality of life of the people by reducing physical, psychological, social and economic problems caused by dementia.
