Subjects were 279 parents of 4- and 5-year-old day care children. Statistical techniques were factor analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression. Major findings were that parents with higher levels of education and income showed a higher level of attitudes and coping behavior toward preschoolers' exposure to secondhand smoke. Parents who were smokers had a higher level than non-smokers of knowledge and coping with preschoolers' secondhand smoke. Parents with higher levels of knowledge and more negative attitudes about secondhand smoke were more active in dealing with secondhand smoke. Parents' knowledge and attitudes were significant predictors of their coping behavior with preschoolers' secondhand smoke. Parents' knowledge was more predictive of parents' coping behavior than their attitudes.

Because of space constraints of the ship, accessibility to supporting system for nonsmoking is poor in seafarers' group. This study was performed to find the smoking status, second-hand smoking status and factors related to smoking habit of Korean seafarers. So, we examined the rate of smoking and secondhand smoking, and knowledge about smoking, attitude for smoking behavior, smoking cessation intention and working environment related to smoking of 155 seafarers. Their smoking rate was 32.3% and secondhand smoke rate was very high by 86.5%. Their working place equipped a separate smoking room, but most of them had been smoked in where they were stayed. and we found the inadequate ventilation facility in 42.6%. Only 21.9% had a experience of education for smoking cessation. From the study Attitude for smoking behavior was negative and smoking knowledge was high. 90% of them tried to stop to smoke, but intention of smoking cessation was low. We need to motivate seafarers and increase their smoking cessation intention by regular education in available ways. From the study, we purpose that government will realign regulations related to ventilation facility and appointed smoking area on the board to prevent seondhand smoke, and the policy need to possess the regular survey of smoking status and customized smoking cessation education for seafarers.

본 연구는 AIDS에 대한 지식과 태도를 파악하여 AIDS에 관한 올바른 지식을 전달할 수 있고, AIDS 교육의 기초 자료를 확보하고 제공하여 남자고등학생들의 AIDS예방과 편견불식에 도움을 주고자 시도 되었다. 조사 대상자는 울산지역에 소재하는 D고등학교 전교생 961명을 조사 대상으로 하여 설문조사를 실시하고 분석하여 906명의 표본으로 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 조사대상자의 AIDS에 대한 지식은 총29점 중 19.7점의 지식도를 보였고, 일반적지식, 전파경로에 대한지식, 예방지식 중 일반적 지식이 가장 높았고 전파경로에 대한 지식이 가장 낮게 조사되었다. 2. 조사대상자의 AIDS에 대한 태도는 100점 환산하여 64.5점의 긍정을 보였고, 그 중 AIDS감염환자에 대한 편견이 있었다. 3. AIDS관련 지식은 AIDS관련 교육횟수, 교육의 도움정도, AIDS관련 정보획득방법, 흡연경험, 음란물접촉경험, 이 성교제경험, 성관계경험에 따라 통계적 유의한 차이를 보였다.(p<0.05) 4. AIDS에 대한 태도는 교육의 도움정도, AIDS관련 정보획득방법, 흡연경험, 음란물접촉경험, 이성교제경험에 따라 통계적 유의한 차 이를 보였다.(p<0.05) 5. AIDS관련 지식과 태도의 상관관계는 흡연경험과 이성교제경험이 있는 학생들에게서 지식의 수준이 낮을수록 긍정적 태도를 보였으며, 음란물접촉경험이 있는 학생들은 지식의 수준이 높을수록 긍정적 태도를 보였으며 통계적으로 유의하였다.(p<0.01) 6. AIDS에 대한 지식과 태도간의 관련성을 살펴보면 일반적 지식과는 0.158, 전파경로에 대한 지식과는 0.161, 예방에 관한 지식과는 0.204로 조사되었고 전체 지식과 태도간의 관련성은 0.198로 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다.(p=.000) 7. 회귀분석 결과 HIV/AIDS에 대한 태도에 영향력이 가장 큰 것은 음주경험(-0.279), 이성 교제경험(0.259), 흡연경험(0.231), 음란물접촉경험(0.180), 예방지식(0.165), 전파경로지식(0.129), 교육도움(-0.125)순이었고 20.7%의 설명력을 가졌다. 고등학생들이 AIDS에 대한 올바른 지식과 감염환자에 대한 편견을 갖지 않도록 많은 교육 시간과 경험적인 학습의 AIDS관련 보건교육이 필요할 것이다.

This study was conducted to analyze the degree of changes in knowledge and attitude toward smoking and to examine the factors affecting knowledge and attitude for smoking after providing a smoking prevention program based on social influence model for a year to middle school students. Study population consists of 665 subjects of middle school students(aged 14 years) in Gumi city in Kyeongsangbukdo Province. Among them three-hundred sixty-seven students(intervention group) were educated to a smoking prevention program for 1 year from April 1999 to April 2000. School-based four-class program to prevent smoking was developed. The program provides instruction about short and long-term negative physiologic and social consequences of smoking and also discussed the health hazards of smoking, social pressure to smoke, peer norms regarding tobacco use, and refusal skill. A 45-item self-administered structured questionnaire was designed to evaluate the change of knowledge, attitude, smoking rate and the amount of smoking. The instrument was comprised of 11 knowledge items, thirteen attitude item and demographic items. Each scales were created by summing responses to each items within each scales and high scores on the knowledge, attitude, and smoking behavioral intention scales indicated positive responses. Based on the changes before and after the implementation of smoking prevention program between intervention and control group, the change of scores on knowledge were significantly different between the control group and the intervention group(p<0.05) and the change of scores on the attitude toward smoking was significantly different between intervention and control group. The change of smoking rate were not showing a significant difference between two groups but the amount of smoking were significantly reduced in intervention group than control group. In multiple regression analysis on changes of knowledge about smoking, the variables of smoking prevention program education, previous knowledge on smoking and students' school performance were selected the significant variables. In multiple regression to analysis of the factors influencing changes in attitude toward smoking, the variables of smoking prevention program education, previous knowledge on smoking were shown to be significant. The smoking prevention program was effective on change of knowledge and attitude of middle school students. In considering that the policy should be needed to extent of implementation of school-based health education curricula based on social influence model and it would contribute to reduce smoking of students.

The goal of this study is to explore different risk factors for smoking and look at the relationships between knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral intentions regarding smoking among schoolchildren, in order to reduce teenage smoking. To achieve this goal a self-administered questionaire regarding smoking was provided to schoolchildren in the 7th and 8th grades in one junior high school in Jerusalem. The schoolchildren were exposed to 10-12 hours of a smoking prevention intervention program. The questionaire focused primarily on the personal characteristics, social environment, knowledge, attitudes, practices, and behavioral intentions of the children. Crosstabs were performed on each variable to determine if significant associations exist among the different variables. The statistical computer, package, SPSS PC, was used to manipulate the data along with Chi-square test. The findings were as follows : About 11% of the children aged 12-14 have ever smoked or are smoking currently, and about 24.0% of those who ever smoked started smoking at the age of 10. Boys smoke more(p<.01), poorer students(by self-perception of school performance) smoke more, and those who had peers who were smokers were more likely to smoke(p<.05). The percentage of the children who reported that either father or mother smoked was about 30%, but no statistical association was found between parental smoking and children's smoking, although trends were noted in the expected direction, i.e. more smokers among children of smokers. Only 1.1% of the children intended to smoke in the future, and 98.0% of the children indicated that they can or they might be able to withstand social pressure. Seventy percent of the children demonstrated medium to high knowledge about smoking, Males, 8th graders, better students, and those without friends who smoke had higher social pressure showed more negative attitudes(p<.01). Those with non-smoking siblings showed more negative behavioral intentions regarding smoking(p<.01), and better students showed more negative behavioral intentions. Those who had higher knowledge scores showed more negative attitudes towards smoking, but not significantly so. Those who had very negative behavioral intentions showed highly significant negative attitudes towards smoking(p<.01).
