직업과 질병, 이 문제는 산업의학의 출발점인 동시에 가장 중요한 내용중의 하나일 것이다. 그 한 예로 직업성 일을 살펴 본다면 1775년 Percuval Pott이 굴뚝청소부 소년들에게서 음낭암(scrotal cancer)이 과다하게 발생하는 것을 보고한 이래 많은 암종과 이에 관련된 폭로물질들의 관련성이 밝혀져 왔다. 이러한 문제들은 주로 일정한 암이 과다하게 발생함(epidemic; excessive prevalence)으로서 제기되기 시작하며, 원인-결과의 관련성을 밝혀내는 유용한 도구들 중의 하나인 역학적 방법은 그 해답을 찾는데에 큰 기여를 하고 있다. 그렇다면 어떠한 이론들을 근거로 하여 A가 B의 원인이라던가, A와 B는 관련이 없었던가 하는 겨론에 도달하게 되는가? 본란은 지금까지 그 관련성이 밝혀진 직업과 질병들을 소재로 하여 이들이 역학적으로 어떠한 과정을 통하여 원인-결과의 결론에 도달하게 되었는지를(또는 의심이 가기는 하나 왜 아직도 확실한 결론에 도달하지 못하였는지를) 설명하고자 한다. 본란의 내용을 이해하기 위하여는 기본적인 역학지식이 요구되기는 하나, 필요한 부분마다 이해를 돕기 위하여 설명을 첨가하였다. 다행히도 현재 '산업보건'에 연재되고 있는 '직업병의 역학적 연구방법'과 '한국의 산업의학' 1993년 Vol. 31, No. 2-4에 걸쳐 연재된 '산업보건역학'에 역학의 개념과 방법론에 대한 기본적인 내용이 서술되어 있으므로 이 분야를 처음 대하는 독자에게는 큰 도움이 될 것이다. 이번호에서는 '서론'의 형식을 빌어서 원인-결과관계를 판단하는데 있어서 가장 기본적으로 요구되는 조건들을 우선적으로 설명하고자 하였다. 여기에 설명한 개념들은 앞으로 계속 반복적으로 사용될 것이다.

This study was, based on traditional know-how indigenous to Korea, to systemize the knowledge on how to improve health by dining, and to make the best of it statistically. For this purpose, the knowledge in the Sikryo-chanryo(食療纂要), in Korean pronunciation and Siglyochan-yo in Chinese characters, which is an old text referring to diet therapy peculiar to Korea, was compiled into a database and analyzed statistically. Data processing was used as a 'Relational data model'. In addition, we have used nine data table to express diet therapy peculiar to Korea in the Siglyochan-yo. The software used for data construction was Microsoft Access 2014. As a result, the Sikryo-chanryo database, which can provide information on both disease treatment by food, medicines, and gourmet ingredients applicable to every kind of symptom, as well as the names of disease, was set up at in a PC interface. By employing the 'Relational data model', we can replace researching in the conventional method by employing the database.

This study is to investigate the HPV vaccination intention among male university students by cervical cancer knowledge and health belief. A sample of 159 male non-health related majoring students was asked to respond to a self-administrated questionnaire about the intention to inject HPV vaccine, knowledges of cervical cancer, and the level of health belief. T-test, ANOVA, pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple group analysis were utilized. Vaccination intention had a positive relation with knowledge of cervical cancer(${\beta}=.200$, p=.01). Health belief was also related with the vaccination intention. There was a significant relation between the vaccination intention and perceived seriousness (${\beta}=.362$, p=.01). This study suggested that the health and HPV convergent education at least as an extracurricular course should be offer to male university students for them to develop an intention to HPV vaccination.

의학이 발달하고 수명이 연장되고, 그리고 식사가 보다 서양화되는 등 생활양식이 변화됨에 따라 성인병이 1970년대부터 한국에 보다 늘어나게 되었다. 본 연구는 면접 및 설문지법을 이용하여 성인병, 특히 고혈압, 당뇨병 및 암에 관하여 도시 및 시골 거주자들의 지식, 태도 및 실천을 비교 연구하였다. 연구기간은 1990년 1월 부터 12월까지 1년동안이었고 대상은 전체 716명으로 그중 360명은 부산시 거주자였고 356명은 부산 근교의 시골거주자였다. 고혈압, 당뇨병 및 암에 대해 알고 있다고 응답한 대상자는 각각 92.6%, 92.0% 및 74.7%였다. 고혈압, 당뇨병 및 암의 지식도에 있어서 도시 거주자들이 시골 거주자보다 유의하게 더 많이 알고 있었다(각각 p<0.001). 그러나 성인병에 관한 태도와 지식에 있어서는 도시 거주자와 시골 거주자 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다(p<0.05). 고혈압의 지식도는 거주지(r=0.2159, p<0.01) 및 수입 (r=0.1882, p<0.01)과 유의한 상관관계가 있었고, 당뇨병에 관한 지식도는 거주지(r=0.3952, p<0.001), 수입(r=0.3663, p<0.001) 및 직업(r=0.2576, p<0.001), 수입(r=0.4138, p<0.001), 직업(r=0.3044, p<0.001) 및 성별(r=-0.1887, p<0.01)과 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 성인병에 관한 태도는 성별(r=0.4748, p<0.001), 경제상태(r=0.2209, p<0.01) 및 고혈압 지식도(r=0.1844, p<0.01)와 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었다. 성인병에 관한 실천은 본 연구에서 어떤 변수와도 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 성인병이 이전보다 더 많아짐에 따라 연령이 증가하는 나라와 개발국가에서 성인병이 주요한 대상질환이 될 것이고, 질병예방과 건강증진의 차원에서 성인병을 예방하기 위해 보건교육에 보다 중점을 두어야 할 것이다.

This study examined the relationship between the oral health knowledge of infants and the oral health management of their mothers. The participants were 198 mothers living in D city. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients with the SPSS/PC 20.0 program. The results revealed oral health to be a serious problem, and that a visit to a dentist regularly is important. The relationship between the oral health awareness and the confidence that can keep cavities from children did not show significant progress on any topic. A relationship was observed between oral health knowledge and confidence in children who visit a dentist once a year, and a negative correlation between the first visit times and the effects of fluoride on the teeth. The relationship between oral health awareness and mothers' confidence when their children felt a toothache was better when they visited a dental clinic and their knowledge about infant food and beverages without sugar improved. The results of this study can be used to improve the program for the mother's oral health knowledge and effective management in children's education.

Purpose: This study was done to investigate the relationship of knowledge related to disease, awareness and practice of inhaler use in asthmatic patients. Method: The participants in this research were 124 patients with asthma who used inhalers, and were admitted to hospital or attended outpatient asthmatic clinics. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire which consisted of demographic characteristics, illness-related characteristics, and tools to measure knowledge of disease, awareness and practice related to inhaler use. Results: Knowledge related to disease was statistically significantly different for age (p<.001) and marital status (p=.017). The mean score for awareness of inhaler use was significantly higher than the mean score for practice in inhaler use (p<.001). There were significant correlations between awareness and practice of inhaler use (p<.001), knowledge related to disease and awareness of inhaler use (p<.001), and knowledge related to disease and practice of inhaler use (p<.001). Conclusion: Results indicate that due to the variation in degree of illness in patients with asthma, there is a need to develop appropriate education programs for people of different ages and also precise ${\alpha}$ II content for use of inhalers method of checking capacity washing and storing as well as directions about different kinds of the inhalers.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the disease-related knowledge, stress and quality of life for the patients with varicose veins. Methods: Data were collected via questionnaire from 138 patients with varicose veins in C University Hospital in Korea from November in Korea 2012 to August 2013. Results: Knowledge of the symptoms and diagnosis was the lowest. The scores from patients with disease-related knowledge tended to be low for both subjects over the age of 60 and subjects with low education (less than high school). The score for stress over complications was the highest. The level of stress is higher for women, subjects without spouses, subjects with higher severity of disease and patients who had been taking hormones in the past or are still taking hormones. The disease-related quality of life tended to be lower for women and subjects without spouses. 21% of the variance in quality of life was explained by the level of disease-related stress, disease severity and knowledge. Conclusion: Education and the management of nurses to improve disease-related knowledge for patients with varicose veins is highly recommended. Intervention, by reducing stress, is necessary to improve the quality of life for women, subjects without spouses, and subjects with higher severity of the disease.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of supportive nursing care on the level of knowledge and compliance with sick-role behavior in patients with coronary artery disease after coronary angiography (CAG). Methods: A quasi-experimental research was performed with 81 subjects with coronary artery disease who were admitted for CAG to a cardiovascular department. Among the selected subjects, 40 of them were assigned to experimental group and the rest of them were assigned to control group by convenience. Supportive nursing care was implemented twice by a researcher. Results: 1. The mean score of knowledge related to coronary artery disease was higher in the group who received supportive nursing care than that of the control group (t=2.259, p=.027). 2. The mean score of compliance of sick role behavior was higher in the group who received supportive nursing care than that of the control group (t=4.580, p=.001). Conclusion: The supportive nursing care after CAG was effective in increasing the knowledge level and compliance of sick-role behavior in patients with coronary artery disease. Further studies would be recommended to identify long-term effectiveness of supportive care on patients' outcomes.
