This study aims to investigated the status of perceived health status, subjective body recognition, and weight change according to age. In addition, the main factors of interest of middle-aged and elderly people were analyzed. This is a secondary data analysis study using data from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KNHANES VIII-3, 2016-2018), Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The data were analyzed the data using IBM SPSS 21.0 program. Frequency analysis and chi-square test method was conducted. The significance level was set at p <.01. As a result of the analysis, subjective body recognition and perceived health status were identified to have a statistically significant positive relationship (r=0.256, p<.01). Perceived health status and weight change measured for a year also showed a statistically significant positive relationship (r=0.303, p<.01). Therefore, it is anticipated that the findings of this study are used as basic data for seeking ways for better health, quality of life, and well-being, as the study examines subjective health status and various variables applicable to middle-aged people.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of knowledge and risk perception of coronavirus disease-2019 on preventive health behavior among nursing students. The survey participants were 291 students in A city. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires between August 1 and 20, 2020. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression in SPSS ver. 18.0. Knowledge of COVID-19 was significantly dependent on age and school records. Risk perceptions were significantly dependent on educational grades. Age, health status, knowledge, and risk perception had significant effects on preventive health behavior, which was found to be positively correlated with knowledge and risk perception. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that age significantly predicted preventive health behavior (β=.188, p<.01), health status (β=-.245, p<.001), knowledge (β=.254, p<.001), and risk perception (β=.191, p<.001) that it accounted for 18.9% (F=17.904, p<.001) of the variance. An educational program is required to enhance the preventive health behavior of nursing students in a background of COVID-2019 that considers student age, health level, knowledge, and perception of risk.

This is a convergence study to investigate the factors affecting the physical health status of college students and to present a strategy for effective program development. The participants of this study were 200 college students in a region and collected data by self-reported questionnaire. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results were as follows: 1) The physical-health status of the college students was positively correlated with the subjective perception of health status(${\beta}=-.323$, p<.01), health awareness(${\beta}=-.278$, p<.01), gender(${\beta}=-.197$, p<.01), and breakfast habit(${\beta}=-.192$, p<.01). And the explanatory power($R_2$) by 4 variables was 33.1%. As a result, it was confirmed that strengthening subjective perception, positive reinforcement of health awareness, and habit of breakfast were important for improvement of physical health status. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a health promotion program based on the factors influencing on the physical health status and to analyze its application effect.

This study aimed to investigate pain, perceived exercise barriers, and related factors in arthritis patients. The study was conducted on 140 arthritis patients (89 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 51 osteoarthritis patients) who visited C University Hospital in Daejeon due to arthritis and agreed to participate in a survey. The self-administered survey was conducted from February 2011 to September 2011. The results are as follow. The perceived exercise barriers increased in both groups as the education level and monthly household income decreased. In the rheumatoid arthritis group, the pain became more intense as the self-rated health status became poorer while the perceived exercise barriers became more significant as the self-rated health status became poorer and the patients had other diseases besides arthritis. In the osteoarthritis group, the pain was greater as the duration of arthritis was longer and the self-rated health status became poorer. In both groups, the perceived exercise barriers became more significant as the exercise stage approached the pre-planning stage. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis showed that the most influential factor on pain in both groups was the 'very bad' self-rated health status. In the rheumatoid arthritis group, influential factors on the perceived exercise barriers were the exercise stage and the education level while for the osteoarthritis group, they were the exercise stage and the monthly household income. In conclusion, the results of this study showed that the pain and perceived exercise barriers of arthritis patients were associated with various factors such as the education level, monthly household income, self-rated health status, and exercise stage, which suggests that these factors should be considered in the planning of exercise programs.

The purpose of this study aimed to identify the level of knowledge & preventive health behaviors related to COVID-19, self-efficacy, anxiety, and perceived stress of students at a nursing college and to investigate the correlation between them. The data were collected from 133 students at a nursing college in Seoul, Korea, from April 15, 2022 to May 10, 2022 through a Google online questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 25.0 to perform descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation Coefficients. As a result of analyzing the difference according to general characteristics, preventive health behavior showed a significant difference according to the necessity of COVID-19 infection control education, and self-efficacy showed a difference according to the subjective health status. The degree of instability of the subjects was shown to have significant differences according to grade and subjective health status, and perceived stress showed significant differences according to subjective health status. The result of analyzing the correlation between preventive health behavior and knowledge, self-efficacy, anxiety, and perceived stress showed that there was no significant correlation, but self-efficacy had a significant negative correlation with anxiety and perceived stress, and anxiety had a significant positive correlation with perceived stress. The results of this study will be used as basic data for education programs and countermeasures to prevent COVID-19 infections.
