The purpose of the study is to investigate how females in the 2nd vaccination group(that is, women between the ages of 14-26) perceive cervical cancer, HPV vaccine, and the current campaign on HPV vaccine. In-depth interviews with 19 female college students between the ages of 20-26 revealed that the participants perceive the cervical cancer and vaccine as unimportant due to limited information; they were exposed to related information at random and there were lack of important information; and information provided were viewed as gender-biased. Moreover, social taboo-ness, cost and fear of its side-effects were found to influence women from getting vaccinated. Results show that participants want more fact-based and practical information, information that includes peers and men, as well as a campaign that has more frequent contact and accessibility. Findings of the study can be used for HPV prevention education in the future targeting women between the ages of 13-35. The study provides suggestion for future research and changes needed in HPV vaccine campaigns.

The purpose of this study was to examine the psychological factors affecting cervical cancer screening intention focused on college women including graduate students. A total of 281 college women students were analyzed. The major results of this study indicate that positive attitude toward cervical cancer screening through social support(family and friend), doctor and nurse support were essential to improve cervical cancer screening intention of college women.

The purpose of this convergence study is to understand the knowledge of cervical cancer and its prevention of cervical cancer in unmarried women. 216 women were collected through self-report questionnaires and analyzed by SPSS program. In result, human papilomavirus vaccination was performed in 33.9%, pap test was performed in 7.9%. The human papilomavirus vaccination and pap test group were 6.7% and human papilomavirus vaccination or pap test group were 28.5%. According to the cervical cancer prevention activities, several differences were detected in the family history of cervical cancer, subjective norms of cervical cancer prevention, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral intention. Therefore, it is important to increase susceptibility of the prevention of cervical cancer in unmarried women, and it is important for the health professionals to perform the most meaningful support system preventing cervical cancer in unmarried women. In addition, various policies should be actively promoted that unmarried women participate in the prevention of cervical cancer actively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors influencing on human papillomavirus vaccination among the nursing students. The subjects of this study were 354 university students majoring in nursing in J province. Vaccination rate was 34.2%. There were significant differences of age, grade, religion, intercourse experience, and experience of gynecology care. Self-efficacy, health belief, and knowledge of vaccinated students were higher than non-vaccinated students. The logistic regression analysis revealed that the factors influencing on vaccination were grade and self-efficacy. Through this result, it could be suggested there is a need for education strategies to increase self-efficacy considering grade in order to improve vaccination rate.

The purpose of this study was to determine cervical cancer screening status of nursing students and to examine the effects of their knowledge, preventive behavioral intention on cervical cancer screening. This study targeted 192 nursing students from three universities in G. J City. The data were analyzed through frequency analysis, t-test, χ²-test, and logistic regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program. The factors influencing on the cervical cancer screening among nursing students were age, sexual experience, and preventive behavioral intention. In order to improve the cervical cancer screening rate, healthcare professionals must develop phased and sustainable education programs that enhance the intention for cervical cancer screening in schools and medical institutions for students to be provided from school-age years, which is a pre-sexually active period, to college years.

HPV(human papilloma virus ; 인유두종 바이러스)감염은 HIV감염 여성에서 더 흔히 일어나는데 HPV는 음부사마귀와 자궁경부암을 일으킬 수 있다. HPV와 연관된 자궁경부 이형성증(cervical dysplasia)이라고 불리는 자궁경부암의 전구질환 또한 HIN감염 여성에서 더 흔하고 치료 후 재발이 쉽게 일어난다.

In order to prevent cervical cancer, free vaccination against cervical cancer(HPV vaccine) for 12-year-old girls has been ongoing since June 2016. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the media reported the risk information of HPV vaccine side effects and to suggest implications for government's risk communication and policy PR. The time frame was divided into two stages, stage 1(policy formation stage, 6 months before the start of free HPV vaccination) and stage 2(policy execution stage, 6 months after the free HPV vaccination was implemented). A total of 314 news articles on HPV vaccine safety and HPV Vaccine side effects were analyzed by content analysis and network analysis. The number of articles increased at stage 2 and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasized the safety of HPV vaccine and encouraged the inoculation while highlighting the effectiveness of the vaccine. Regarding HPV vaccine side effects, cases against vaccination in Japan were mainly reported at stage 1, whereas cases of HPV vaccine side effects from other countries such as Europe and USA were frequently reported at stage 2. In order to increase vaccination rate of HPV vaccine, it is time to take a strategic approach to prevent vague fear or anxiety about the vaccine.

This study aimed to develop an educational program on cervical cancer prevention and human papillomavirus (HPV) for female North Korean refugees and to assess the effect of the program. This study used a nonequivalent control group with a pretest-posttest design. The participants were 42 female North Korean refugees in their 20s residing in South Korea. Measurements included cervical cancer knowledge, HPV knowledge, attitude toward HPV vaccination, and intention for HPV vaccination. Statistically significant differences emerged in levels of cervical cancer knowledge (U = 40.00, p < .001), HPV knowledge (U = 4.50, p < .001), and attitude toward HPV vaccination (U = 128.00, p = .013) between the experimental and control group. The educational program is an effective nursing intervention to improve cervical cancer knowledge, HPV knowledge, and attitude toward HPV vaccination of female North Korean refugees. Stakeholders must work to establish health policies to reduce health disparities between South and North Korean women to prepare for unification.

유방암에 비하면 그리 흔한 편도 아닌데, 성(性)과 관련 있다 보니 자궁경부암에 대한 관심은 매우 큰 편. 더욱이 예방백신이 나와 있는 유일한 암이라 '선택'이란 걸 할 수 있다는 점도 영향을 주는 것 같다. 관심을 가지고 있었지만 자세히 몰랐던 자궁경부암에 관한 궁금증을 풀어보자.

본 논문은 자궁경부암 검사를 위한 전처리 과정인 자궁경부암 세포 영상분할 문제 연구의 결과이다. 자궁경부암 세포 영상은 배경과 세포질 및 세포핵의 구별이 어렵다. 게다가 자궁경부암 검사 시스템은 짧은 시간동안 많은 영상을 처리해야 하기 때문에, 영상의 분석 속도가 빠르고 강력한 영상 분할 기법이 필요하다. 이를 위하여 우리는 thresholding 기법을 연구하였다. 먼저 세포 영상의 각 화소의 명암의 분포를 조사하여 히스토그램을 구하였다. 히스토그램은 0~255 사이에 존재하게 되는데, 0~255의 전 영역에 존재하기 보다는 그 중 일부분에만 존재한다. 우리는 히스토그램이 존재하는 영역을 백분율로 나누고 세포핵 및 세포질이 존재하는 영역의 분포를 구하여 global threshold를 찾았고, 이를 기준으로 각 점을 thresholding 할 때에 주위의 평균값을 보정값으로 두어 local thresholding을 수행하였다. 결과 영상은 핵의 영역을 탐색하기 위한 seed로 사용하기에 적합하다.
