Background: Breast cancer is the second most cause of death (1.38 million, 10.9% of all cancer) worldwide after lung cancer. In present study, we assess the knowledge, level of awareness of risk factors and screening practices especially breast self examination (BSE) among women, considering the non-feasibility of diagnostic tools such as mammography for breast screening techniques of breast cancer in the holy city Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional population based survey was conducted. The investigation tool adopted was self administrated questionnaire format. Data were analysed using SPSS 20 version and Chi square test to determine significant association between various education groups with awareness and knowledge, analysis of variance was applied in order to establish significance. Results: The attitude of participants in this study, among 560 women 500 (89%) responded (age group 18-65 years), 53.8% were married. The knowledge about BSE was very low (16%) and out of them 15.6% were practised BSE only once in life time. study shown that prominent age at which women achieve their parity was 20 yrs, among 500 participants 224 women have achieved their parity from age 18 to 30 yrs. Very well known awareness about risk factors of breast cancer were alcohol (64.6%), smoking (64%) and least known awareness risk factors were early menarche (17.2%) and use of red meat (23%). The recovery factors of breast cancer cases were doctors support (95%) and family support (94.5%) as most familiar responses of the holy city Varanasi. Conclusions: The study revealed that the awareness about risk factors and practised of BSE among women in Varanasi is extremely low in comparison with other cities and countries as well (Delhi, Mumbai, Himachal Pradesh, Turkey and Nigeria). However, doctors and health workers may promote the early diagnosis of breast cancer.

본 연구는 일 대학 간호과와 비 간호과 학생의 생명의료윤리 의식을 파악하여 대학생들의 올바른 생명윤리 의식 함양에 필요한 윤리교육의 방향과 교육과정 내용을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도하였다. 생명의료윤리 의식은 4점 만점에 간호과 학생들이 평균 3.04점으로 비 간호과 학생들의 2.88점보다 높았고 이들 간에 유의한 차이가 있었다(t=6.79, p<.001). 두 그룹간에 태아의 생명권, 태아진단, 신생아 생명권, 안락사, 장기이식, 뇌사영역에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. 대상자들의 생명의료윤리 의식에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인은 간호과에서는 한 학기 이상 윤리관련 수업 경험 유무, 생명윤리 관련 문제로 고민한 경험 유무, 윤리적 가치관이었고, 비 간호과는 학년으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 대상자들의 낮은 생명의료윤리 의식은 각 학과별로 기본적인 생명윤리 교육부터 고학년으로 올라갈수록 체계적이고 복합적인 윤리적 사고 판단과 의사결정 능력, 가치관 고취를 위한 교육과정을 통해 충족되어야 할 것이다. 추후 생명의료윤리 의식의 하위영역별 집중연구나 질적 연구를 제언한다.

In recent years, interests in health promotion have been stimulated by the epidemiological transition from infectious to chronic diseases as lead ing causes of death, the aging of the population, rapidly escalating health care costs, and epidemiologic findings linking individual risk to morbidity and mortality. It is not surprising that the workplace has been targeted as a promising setting for health promotion. In Korea, national attention to the opportunities for workplace health promotion began in the first 1990s. But there is no in depth study to identify the relating factors to the health promotion program in the workplace. The objective of this study is behavioral and physical characteristics to find that in crease the person's risk for a range of health problems and to analysis other characteristics to influence the degree of his/her intention to change health behavior. In addition, this study is purposed to present the process of planning health promotion program in the workplace. To accomplish these objectives, one workplaces was selected. And 363 employees in those workplaces were served as subjects for the study. Major findings in this study are as follows. (1) They have many risk factors such as smoking, drinking, lack of sleep, law rate of regular exercise, irregular eating, stress. (2) Some of the health risk factors such as smoking, drinking, and stress have the negative correlation to the intention to change. (3) Among cognitive and socio-environmental factors, significant predictors to the intention are attitude and social support. (4) In the cluster analysis to segment the target population in to homogeneous unit, three clusters of lifestyle are specified. (5) Smoking cessation and exercise program are planned for the risk group to change their behavior.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify and compare hospice care research topics between Korean and international nursing studies using text network analysis. Methods: The study was conducted in four steps: 1) collecting abstracts of relevant journal articles, 2) extracting and cleaning keywords (semantic morphemes) from the abstracts, 3) developing co-occurrence matrices and text-networks of keywords, and 4) analyzing network-related measures including degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, and clustering using the NetMiner program. Abstracts from 347 Korean and 1,926 international studies for the period of 1998-2016 were analyzed. Results: Between Korean and international studies, six of the most important core keywords-"hospice," "patient," "death," "RNs," "care," and "family"-were common, whereas "cancer" from Korean studies and "palliative care" from international studies ranked more highly. Keywords such as "attitude," "spirituality," "life," "effect," and "meaning" for Korean studies and "communication," "treatment," "USA," and "doctor" for international studies uniquely emerged as core keywords in recent studies (2011~2016). Five subtopic groups each were identified from Korean and international studies. Two common subtopics were "hospice palliative care and volunteers" and "cancer patients." Conclusion: For a better quality of hospice care in Korea, it is recommended that nursing researchers focus on study topics of patients with non-cancer disease, children and family, communication, and pain and symptom management.

심정지(Cardiac arrest)는 원인과 관계없이 심장의 박동이 정지되어 발생하는 일련의 상태를 말한다. 심장질환에 의한 심정지는 매년 우리나라 3대 사망원인에 포함되며 예측이 불가하다. 심정지 발생시 환자의 생명을 구하기 위한 유일한방법 중 하나는 심폐소생술이며 이 술기를 통하여 순환을 유지시킬 수 있다. 시각으로 받아들여진 정보는 시신경을 통하여 뇌로 전달되며, 그중 거울은 자신의 움직임과 자신의 형태를 볼 수 있게 하고, 교정과 분석이 가능하여 다양하게 활용 할 수 있다. 이에 거울을 활용한 시각적 정보에 따른 가슴압박의 질을 비교하였다. 연구결과 거울 사용에 따라 가슴압박의 평균 깊이가 유의한 차이가 있었고($48.93{\pm}6.76$, $53.86{\pm}4.56$, <0.001), 압박 대 이완 비율에도 차이를 보였다($0.87{\pm}0.13$, $0.96{\pm}0.10$, <0.002). 또한 자세를 의식하는 정도에서도 유의한 차이를 보였다($4.93{\pm}0.85$, $8.14{\pm}1.38$, <0.001).

Objectives : Cancer is the leading cause of death in Korea. Therefore, a National Cancer Screening Program (NCSP) was launched in 1999. This study planned to evaluate the performance of the NCSP to identifying the influencing factors in relation to characteristic public health centers. Methods : To analyze the performance, the database of the NCSP records for 2002 was used. The performance index was measured by the goal achievement rate, which was defined by the real number of screenees against the expected number of screenees. Also, a survey was conducted by a self-administered questionnaire to identify the factors associated with the goal achievement rate. The questionnaire was divided into two sections. In the first section, the individual characteristics of the program coordinator in each public health center were measured, and second section was comprised of questions about the organizational characteristics associated with the NCSP. A total of 121 subjects from 241 public health centers completed the questionnaire. Results : Of the 121 public health centers (50.2% response rate), the average goal achievement rate was 72.8%. The results of the regression model showed that public health centers located in rural area (parameter estimates=38.2) and had great support from a head of center or province (parameter estimates=0.20) and tended to have higher goal achievement rates. However, the characteristics of the program coordinator, especially their knowledge of and attitude toward cancer screening, were not significantly related to the goal achievement rates. Conclusions : It appears that the most important associated factors to the goal achievement rate in the NSCP were the location of the public health center and the support for the NCSP from the head of the center or province.

건설산업의 안전사고 중 사망사고는 최근에 증가추세에 있다. 이와 같은 현상은 현재의 관리방법과 법적조치는 한계를 보이고 있다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 근로자의 태도와 행동적인 요인을 알아보기 위하여 근로자들이 안전활동과 관련된 동기요인에 대한 우선순위를 알아보고, 건설근로자와 관리감독자 간의 인식차이를 확인하여 안전사고를 줄이기 위한 관리요소를 찾아보고자 하였다. 연구를 위하여 건설근로자와 현장 관리감독자를 대상으로 경제적 요인, 작업환경 및 안전 문화적 요인, 관리적 요인 등 3가지 상위 동기요인에 대한 21개의 세부요인으로 설문조사를 실시하였다 설문조사 결과 건설근로자와 관리감독자간 차이를 보이는 요인은 작업환경 및 안전 문화적 요인이 가장 크게 나타났다. 또한 현장에서 실시하는 안전인센티브는 건설근로자와 현장 관리감독자 모두 긍정적으로 생각하고 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 앞으로 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 근로자 중심의 관리를 통하여 안전사고를 줄일 수 있을 것이다.
