부산시 국제공동의료보험조합은 환원사업의 일환으로 조합원에 대한 집단 자궁암 검사를 건강관리협회부산지부와 함께 실시했다. 조합원 5,000여 몇 중 약 1,000명이 검사에 참가했던 이번 검사사업은, 그 동안 자신의 건강을 방(?)했던 많은 사람들에게 질병의 조기발견과 이를 통한 건강관리의 중요성을 깨닫게 해 주었을 뿐 아니라, 보건교육이 얼마나 필요한 가를 새롭게 각인시켜 주었다. 어떻게 이루어졌고, 반응이 어떠했는지를 취재하면서 ‘근로자의 건강을 지키는 것이 곧 복지사회로 가는 길’이라는 국제공동의보의 적극적 태도에 깊은 감명을 받았다.

필자는 최근 국가인권위원회가 의뢰한 '에이즈 감염인들의 인권실태 조사연구'에 참여하며 우리사회에서 에이즈 감염인들이 인권의 사각지대에 방치되고 있음을 극명하게 알 수 있었다. 에이즈 바이러스 그 자체보다 사회의 멸시와 차별이 당사자들에게는 더욱 치명적이며, 이 질병을 마음의 병으로 앓게 하고 있는 것이다. 이러한 후진적인 상황에서 벗어나기 위해서는 에이즈에 대해 객관적이고 과학적인 사실을 적극적으로 알리고, 감염인들이 겪고 이는 사회 곳곳에서의 부당한 처우를 꾸준하게 고발하여, 에이즈에 대한 인식과 사회적 태도 변화를 유도해야 한다. 에이즈에 대한 과도한 공포는 감염인과 비감염인 모두에게 큰 폐해를 끼진 다는 점에서 최우선적으로 개선되어야 할 과제이다.

최근 우리나라에서 발병하는 질병의 종류와 사망원인이 과거와는 다른 양상을 보이고있다. 이 양상은 우리의 식생활이 서구화되어 가는 과정에서 야기되는 영양섭취의 불균형과 잘못된 식습관이 그 원인이 되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러므로 일반인이나 환자들이 영양에 관한 정확한 정보를 얻는 것은 이와 같은 만성질환의 예방 및 치료에 매우 효과적일 것이다. 특히 진료인으로 부터 얻는 영양정보는 환자에게 큰 영향을 끼치며, 바른 영양정보는 치료효과를 높일 수 있을 것이다. 환자들도 진료인으로 부터 의학적인 정보와 더불어 영양에 대한 정보를 제공받기를 원하고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다.

진료인으로부터 얻는 영양정보는 환자에게 큰 영향을 끼치며, 바른 영양정보는 치료효과를 높일 수 있을 것이다. 환자들도 진료인으로 부터 의학적인 정보와 더불어 영양에 대한 정보를 제공받기를 원하고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 근래에 와서 의료인들은 입원환자 뿐 아니라 외래환자의 만성질병에 대한 예방적 차원에서의 의료서비스를 제공해야 할 의무 및 필요성에 직면하고 있다. (중략)

건강진단의 역할은 성인병을 위시한 질병을 초기에 발견하고 또한 각 개인의 건강상태를 점검하는데 있습니다. "건강만들기"의 요점은 이 건진결과의 뜻을 충분히 이해하고 각자의 일상생활 속에서 살려나가는 것입니다. 다시말하면 건진을 받았다는 것만으로는 의미가 없습니다. 이상이 지적되어도 가렵지않다는 태도로 방치해두면 언젠가는 손을 쓸수 없는 상태가 되는일도 결코 적지 않습니다. 건진의 판정을 당신 건강의 척도(Barometer)로 삼아 매일의 생활습관 개선에 도움이 되도록 하기 바랍니다.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify teacher's knowledge about sodium, dietary behaviors related to sodium, attitudes towards a low-salt diet, and meal attitude guidance as well as examine the relationship between these variables. Methods: The participants were 351 teachers at an elementary school in the Jeonbuk area. The data were analyzed using ANOVA, Duncan test, and Pearson correlation coefficients with SPSS v. 20.0. Results: The score for teachers' knowledge about sodium was 12.92 points of a possible 16, the score for dietary behavior related to sodium was 46.85 points of a possible 70, and the score for attitude towards a low-salt diet was 33.63 points of a possible 50. Their score for meal attitude guidance was 59.95 points of a possible 80. The knowledge showed significant differences by hypertension drug (p < 0.05) and stress level (p < 0.05). The dietary behavior of sodium use showed significant differences by gender (p < 0.01), work experience (p < 0.05), BMI (p < 0.01), drinking (p < 0.05), concern about health (p < 0.05), and stress level (p < 0.05). The attitude towards a low-salt diet showed significant differences by gender (p < 0.05), marital status (p < 0.05), work experience (p < 0.05), drinking (p < 0.05), concern about health (p < 0.001), and stress level (p < 0.05). Meal attitude guidance showed a significant difference by marital status (p < 0.001), age (p < 0.001), work experience (p < 0.001), drinking (p < 0.01), regularity of health checkup (p < 0.001), concern about health (p < 0.001), and stress level (p < 0.05). There was a low positive correlation between knowledge about sodium and dietary behavior related to sodium as well as between dietary behavior related to sodium and attitudes towards a low-salt diet. Attitudes towards a low-salt diet showed a positive correlation with meal attitude guidance. Conclusion: Therefore, it is necessary to consider educational programs on increasing knowledge and attitudes towards a low-salt diet in teachers for improvement of meal attitude guidance activities for students.

We investigated consumer perceptions of and purchase intentions for health foods. Data were collected from 454 adults over the age of 20 years living in Seoul and Gyeonggi province, from May 10 to June 5, 2010. Those that "hardly ever drink" (41.4%) were most prevalent in terms of drinking activity, whereas 80.8% of respondents did not smoke. Also, those who responded "hardly ever exercise" ranked highest; although 43.8% in fact exercised frequently. Of all respondents, 44.5% admitted to suffering slightly from stress. A total of 59.5% of respondents opined "I am healthy but I do worry about health", and "exercise" topped the list of approved (37.2% of respondents) health care methods. We also found that 83.5% of respondents claimed to have tried health foods, whereas in the case of having no taking experience, 60% had not purchased such foods because, in their view, this was unnecessary. The extent of concerns about health foods scored 3.09, and the level of purchase intentions for health food was high, with a score of 3.40. Therefore, all of government, producers, distributors, and academic researchers must provide consumers with accurate and complete information, and need to collaborate in the development of consumer education programs on health foods. This will enhance consumer interest in such foods, and empower logical choices.

Objective: This study explores the level of knowledge and attitude towards HIV/AIDS and the relationship between knowledge and attitude among social workers and nurses working in the public sector in Gwangju, S. Korea. Methods: The sample was composed of 121 nurse and 124 social workers. For the purpose of this research participants completed a questionnaire designed to assess their knowledge and attitudes about HIV/AIDS. The data was collected between December 2008 and January 2009. All data was analyzed using SPSS WIN version 12.0 for technical statistics. t-Test, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis was employed. Results: First, the result of this research showed that the level of participants knowledge on HIV/AIDS was 85.9%. The nurses score was significantly higher than social workers on knowledge. Second, the outcome also showed that nurses generally had a more positive attitude about HIV/AIDS patients than social workers but it was not significant. Third, participant's attitudes towards HIV/AIDS was significantly influenced by the level of knowledge and previous education about HIV/AIDS. Fourth, the results also showed that knowledge on HIV/AIDS is the most important influencing factor towards the participants attitude. Conclusion: This result has important implications for future education programs designed for health care professionals including nurses and social workers. Given the importances of the role of public officers as practitioners and policy makers on HIV/AIDS, the education program should not only focus on lectures but also include a sharing of practical experience and knowledge.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to identify the relationships among perceived parental bonding, illness perception, and anxiety and to determine the influences of perceived parental bonding and illness perception on anxiety in adult patients with congenital heart diseases. Methods: In this study a descriptive correlational design with survey method was utilized. The participants were 143 adult patients with congenital heart disease being cared for in the cardiology out-patient clinic of A medical center. Data were collected using the Parental Bonding Instrument, Illness Perception Questionnaire Revised Scale, and Cardiac Anxiety Questionnaire Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and hierarchial regression analyses. Results: There showed significant positive relationships of anxiety with maternal overprotection, consequences, and personal control respectively. Among predictors, maternal overprotection (${\beta}=.45$), consequence (${\beta}=.26$), and personal control (${\beta}=-.03$) had statistically significant influence on anxiety. Conclusion: Nursing interventions to decrease maternal overprotection and negative consequence, and to enhance personal control are essential to decrease the anxiety of adult patients with congenital heart diseases.

The WHO has defined gaming disorder as a disorder, and there are arguments for and against it from different perspectives. In response, this paper tried to identify the disease model, psychosocial, and cultural perspective for complementing them with an interdisciplinary attitude. First, universal prevention should be provided for general game users to get literacy. Second, selective prevention should be provided for a potentially risky group to find out the alternative activity. Finally, indicated prevention should be provided for a risky group to be treated.
