Purpose: This study was examined the effects of a hepatitis A education on attitude, vaccination intention, and preventive behavior. Methods: Eighty-eight college students at two universities participated in this study. The data were collected from August 29 to September 30 in 2011 and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, and ${\chi}^2$ test. Results: There were no significant differences of preventive behavior of hepatitis A between the positive and negative message groups (t=1.10, p=.499). However, the negative message group had a significantly higher attitude of preventive behavior (t=0.92, p=.049) and vaccination intention (${\chi}^2$=5.43, p=.039) than the positive message group. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that negatively framed messages are effective on increasing the attitude, vaccination intention, and preventive behavior.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the apical seal produced by low temperature($70^{\circ}C$) injection gutta percha technique(ULTRAFIL) with & without sealer, warm latero-vertical cindensation technique (ENDOTEC) with & without sealer, and the lateral condensation technique with sealer. 100 extracted, single rooted human teeth were divided into 5 groups and root canals were enlarged & obturated according to the purpose of this study. Obturated teeth were immersed in 2.5% methylene blue for 48hrs. at $37^{\circ}C$ incubator and split. The apical sealing ability was evaluated by measuring the degree of dye penetration into the canal. The results were as follows: 1. All group showed varying depth of dye penetration. 2. There were no significant difference among Group I (lateral condensation), Group II (ULTRAFIL with sealer) & Group IV (ENDOTEC with sealer) (P>0.05). 3. There were less dye penetration when used in conjunction with sealer (P<0.001).

In order to study the cleansing effect of air-driven sonic system, the author prepared root canals on 48 extracted human permanent single rooted teeth using hand instrumentation and aforementioned method, half and half of the cases. In order for comparison of the degree of remnant debris and cleanliness, the cross sections at 3mm and 7mm levels from the apex were stereomicroscopically observed and scored in accordance with predetermined degree. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Air-driven sonic system was more effective in cleansing root canal than hand instrumentation at apical 3mm level. (p < 0.01) 2. Air-driven sonic system was more effective in cleansing root canal than hand instrumentation at apical 7mm level. (p < 0.01) 3. In hand instrumentation, Helisonic file was more effective in cleansing root canal than Rispisonic file. (p < 0.05) In air-driven sonic system, on the other hand, there were no significant difference between the two files.

The author has studied comparatively the sealing quality of conventional Z.O.E. cement, Kerr sealer and Nogenol sealer by means of penetration of 2% methylene blue solution through the root apex of human teeth in 72 cases as time elapsed. The results were as follows; 1. All the specimens, whose dye immersion time is two days, showed dye penetration of low degree unrelated to the kinds of root canal sealer. 2. Kerr sealer group, like conventional Z.O.E. group, showed dye penetration of high degree related to increased time of immersion in the dye. 3. In Nogenol group, there was slight increase in penetration related to increased time of immersion in the dye. 4. Kerr sealer group showed comparatively lower grade of dye penetration than conventional Z.O.E. and higher than Nogenel sealer.

Purpose: This study was to identify the attributes, antecedents, their consequences, and empirical indicators of rehabilitation motivation in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Methods: Walker and Avant's method was used to analyze the concept. Articles published after 1990 were searched in Medline, CINAHL, NSDL, and RISS databases using "rehabilitation", "motivation" and their combination as keywords. Results: The attributes of rehabilitation motivation are: 1) certitude and trust toward rehabilitation treatment; 2) confidence in the rehabilitation process; 3) efforts and commitments to achieve health goals; 4) psychological needs to act toward health recovery. Its antecedents include: 1) rights of self-determination; 2) goal setting and goal-oriented attitude; 3) personal needs; 4) getting rewards; 5) social and family support; 6) professional behavior of healthcare providers; and 7) least risks or costs for actions taken. Conclusion: The study results could be used as a conceptual framework for developing tools to measure the motivation of rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify factors related to osteoporosis prevalence in postmenopausal women. Methods: This study was a secondary analysis research using data from the Eighth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VIII-1), 2019, which were downloaded from the KNHANES website. The subjects of this study were 1,791 postmenopausal women who participated in the KNHANES VIII-1, 2019. Data analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS 21.0 program and complex sample design analysis was performed considering factors such as weight, cluster, and strata. Results: Osteoporosis prevalence of in postmenopausal women was 17.5%. Factors related to osteoporosis prevalence were age (65~74 years old, ≥75 years old), house income (low), household type (one-person household), postmenopausal period (10~19 years), drinking (non-drinking). Conclusion: Interventions for osteoporosis prevention and management in postmenopausal women need to focus on women less than 10 years after menopause and one-person household women. Furthermore, it is necessary to expand bone density testing for the early detection of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the experience of Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) coordinator nurses in a hospital setting. Methods: An in-depth interview was done using a semi-structured questionnaire on 4 FLS coordinator nurses between August 2022 and May 2023. A qualitative content analysis method was used for the data analysis. Results: Three themes of the experience of FLS coordinator were "The absence of identity of FLS coordinator," "struggling with the approach of creating something out of nothing," and "improvement of training and system to establish FLS coordinator role." Conclusion: This study identified three themes about the experience of FLS coordinator nurses in hospital setting. This finding is expected to be useful in developing education programs for FLS coordinator nurses.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a progressive exercise program for osteoarthritis patients. Methods: This study was performed from 24th March. to 7th July. 2009. Thirty six osteoarthritis patients were participated in the progressive exercise program. Outcome measures were shoulder flexibility, knee flexibility, grip strength, pain intensity, number of pain site and fatigue. SPSS/WIN Version 14.0 was used for the data analysis. Results: At the completion of 6 weeks of progressive exercise program, there were statistically significant differences in shoulder flexibility and knee flexibility. But no significant differences were found in grip strength, pain, number of pain site and fatigue between pretest and posttest. Conclusion: Progressive exercise program was proved to be an effective nursing intervention for improving the shoulder and knee flexibility. However, progressive exercise program did not increase pain & fatigue.
