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.

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.

The purpose of this study was to examine the necessity of oral health education to analyze the knowledge and status of oral health according to smoking in some college students. The subjects in this study were 217 selected college students, on whom a survey was conducted from September 3 to September 7, 2013. The data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0(SPSS 19.0 K for window, SPSS Inc USA). The findings of the study were as follows: First, concerning toothbrushing frequency, the smokers brushed their teeth twice, and the nonsmokers did that three times(p<0.05). The male students did toothbrushing twice, and the female students did that three times(p<0.05). As to scaling experience, the female students got their teeth cleaned more often(p<0.05). Second, the nonsmokers who had received oral health education outnumbered the smokers who had(p<0.01). In regard to the necessity of smoking-related oral health education, both of the smokers and the nonsmokers replied it was necessary(p<0.05). Third, as for the level of oral health knowledge, the nonsmokers were more aware than the smokers that the use of oral hygiene supplies had an effect on the prevention of dental caries(p<0.05). Given the findings of the study, the smoking-related oral health education and the development of programs that are intended for college students seems necessary.

A self-administered survey was conducted from June 14 to July 12, 2011, and the answer sheets from 1,219 respondents were selected for analysis. The collected data were analyzed by the statistical package 12.0, and the findings of the study were as follows: 1. The smoker students accounted for 10.6 percent. The boys and girls who smoked respectively represented 16.0 and 5.4 percent. 2. As for the period of smoking, the largest group that accounted for 51.6 percent smoked for less than a year. Concerning the amount of daily smoking, the greatest group that accounted for 91.9 percent smoked less than 10 cigarettes. As to the motivation of smoking, the biggest group that represented 52.8 percent started to smoke out of curiosity. 3. Regarding smoking-related oral health knowledge, they got a mean of 0.85. Their scores in knowledge of oral malodor(0.95), oral cavity cancer(0.94) and periodontal diseases(0.93) were above the average, and their scores in knowledge of dental caries(0.70) and blunting of taste(0.77) were below the average. 4. The seventh graders got the best score of 5.28 in smoking-related oral health knowledge(p<0.01), and the students who were more satisfied with their life had a better oral health knowledge(p<0.05). 5. The senior students were more dependent on nicotine(p<0.01), and the number of smoking days(${\beta}=0.407$, p<0.001) and the period of smoking(${\beta}=0.235$, p<0.01) affected their nicotine dependence.

담배가 우리나라에 전래된 시기는 대략 1608~1610년경 일본으로 부터였다고 추정되고 있다. 초기에는 의약품으로 사용되어 진통제 구실을 하였으며 상처의 지혈 또는 화농방지제, 담치료제 등으로 이용되면서 자연스럽게 그 영향력을 넓혀가게 되었다. 그러나 1951년 이후 흡연이 인체에 미치는 해독에 관한 광범위한 조사가 이루어져 그 유해성이 입증되었고 1957년 미국암협회의 연구 결과 심한 궐련 흡연자는 비흡연자에 비해 적어도 20배나 폐암에 걸릴 가능성이 많음을 시사하였다. 특히 성장기에 있는 청소년의 흡연은 건강 뿐아니라 교육적 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있다.

Purpose: This study was to evaluate the effects of a smoking prevention program among preschool children. Method: This study used a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 141 preschool children aged 6 or 7 at two childcare centers in Jecheon City, who were divided into an experimental group (n=66) and a control group (n=75). The smoking prevention program was applied through 9 sessions and 30 minutes per session. Surveys were conducted before and after the smoking prevention program to examine the preschoolers' knowledge and attitude toward smoking and smoking coping behavior. Results: There were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in smoking knowledge (t=-2.02, p=.044) and smoking coping behavior (t=-2.01 p=.047), but smoking attitude (t=-1.20, p=.230) was not statistically significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion: As a result, further research is needed into the long term effects of a smoking prevention program on the future behavior of preschoolers so that the health benefits of early prevention can be quantified. It is necessary for parents to participate actively in influencing preschoolers' attitudes and behaviors with regard to the avoidance of smoking.
