  • The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has not only caused significant challenges for health systems all over the globe but also fueled the surge of numerous rumors, hoaxes, and misinformation, regarding the etiology, outcomes, prevention, and cure of the disease. Such spread of misinformation is masking healthy behaviors and promoting erroneous practices that increase the spread of the virus and ultimately result in poor physical and mental health outcomes among individuals. Myriad incidents of mishaps caused by these rumors have been reported globally. To address this issue, the frontline healthcare providers should be equipped with the most recent research findings and accurate information. The mass media, healthcare organization, community-based organizations, and other important stakeholders should build strategic partnerships and launch common platforms for disseminating authentic public health messages. Also, advanced technologies like natural language processing or data mining approaches should be applied in the detection and removal of online content with no scientific basis from all social media platforms. Furthermore, these practices should be controlled with regulatory and law enforcement measures alongside ensuring telemedicine-based services providing accurate information on COVID-19.

  • 범죄가 다양화, 지능화 되면서 시민과 함께하는 경찰활동이 강조됨에 따라 경찰활동에서 시민의 적극적인 참여에 대한 필요성이 대두되었다. 또한 사건 지향적 경찰활동에서 사건이 발생하는 문제를 해결하자는 문제지향적 경찰활동의 효과성이 인정되면서 우리나라도 그에 대한 활성화 필요성을 인식하게 되었다. 마지막으로 외부를 통제하는 게이티드 커뮤니티의 확산에 대응하는 경찰활동의 필요성과 게이티드 커뮤니티(Gated Community)의 확산에 대응하는 경찰활동의 필요성을 인식하여 Third Party Policing(TPP)의 도입 활용을 목적으로 하고 있다. 우리나라에서의 TPP의 활용을 위해 운영과정의 매뉴얼화, TPP를 위한 전담팀 구성, 시민과 경찰조직의 의식전환, 현실적인 동기부여 방안 등을 강구는 것이 본 연구의 초점이다.

  • Levosulpiride is one of the most frequently prescribed medicines in Korea. An adverse drug reaction (ADR) after taking levosulpiride was reported at a community pharmacy in Korea. A 31-year-old woman reported the symptoms of lactation and amenorrhea after taking levosulpiride; an evaluation of whether these symptoms were caused by the medication was therefore necessary. Several tools can be used to determine if the ADR resulted from the administered drug or other factors, including the World Health Organization-Uppsala Monitoring Centre (WHO-UMC) criteria, the Naranjo scale, and the Korean causality assessment algorithm (Ver. 2). The causality was evaluated as "possible" by the WHO-UMC and Naranjo scales, but as "probable" by the Korean causality assessment algorithm (Ver. 2). In conclusion, the information provided did not indicate definite causality and there were slight differences in the results obtained from each assessment method.

  • Background: Alcohol and tobacco use are two major behavioral risk factors implicated in increased morbidity and mortality. Since both substances are widely used in Korea, a concerted effort is currently underway to reduce the use of tobacco and alcohol in Korea. Objectives: Efforts directed toward preparing health promotion planners and health educators from local health departments to organize and implement community-wide interventions to reduce the proportion of people smoking and reduce the average level of alcohol consumption in the community. Methods: Comprehensive multi-media health promotion materials were developed based on health behavior theories and strategies. The materials were developed to introduce a user-oriented developmental approach by making messages more persuasive and organizing content in a user-friendly manner. Health educators from all local health departments in the country were trained in the use of the materials, to enable them to develop community interventions to reduce smoking and drinking. Implications for Practitioners: The process followed in developing the health intervention materials is described in detail to assist practitioners who need to develop effective programs to reduce the use of tobacco and alcohol. Sections of the report explain health intervention theories, specific program activities to include in an intervention, development, organization, evaluation, choosing a target audience, choosing goals of an intervention, and methods of making program content vivid and persuasive.

  • Purpose: This study was performed to identify factors affecting the functional status in disabled persons in the Jeiu Province. Method: Data were collected from 318 disabled persons in the Jeiu province during the period from the 6th of July to the 11th of October in 2006. The functional status was assessed by the disability assessment schedule II (Whodas II) of the World Health Organization and collected data were analyzed using the SAS 8.0 program. Result: The mean score of WHODAS II was 29.9. According to the results of multiple regression, factors affecting the functional status were perceived health condition(t=3.44, p<.001), brain disorder disability(t=2.55, p<.001), treatment status(t=-1.95, p=.05), drinking(t=2.09, p=.04), stress(t=-2.72, p=.01), depression(t=-2.70, p=.01). heart disease(t=2.62. p=.01) and anemia(t=2.20, p=.03). Conclusion: The functional status was affected by health behaviors, diseases, and the type of disability. Thus, future efforts to promote the functional status of disabled persons may need to take into account all these factors.

  • Purpose: To explore the barriers and solutions of immunization programs for children among vulnerable classes in the position of service providers in Community health centers. Method: Data were collected through focus group interviews with 3 groups (17 providers), and were analyzed according to the analytic method of Morgan (1998) and Krueger (1998). Results: The following five categories were identified: difficulties in obtaining a list of children among vulnerable classes, difficulties in first contact with them, difficulties in up-to-date immunization, various difficulties according to the types of vulnerable family and suggestions of solution. These results indicated that there are many difficulties in providing expanded immunization service for children among vulnerable classes in terms of manpower, cooperation of departments in public health centers and linkages between health and welfare. Finally, the characteristics of the types of vulnerable family need to be elucidated. Conclusion: To increase immunization rates among children of vulnerable classes, policies need to be prepared at the public health organization itself and the linkages between health and welfare and need for hiring additional personnel.

  • In construction industry, while requiring advanced knowledge of technicians through a long experience, there is a problem with the tacit knowledge is not carried on the inner organization. Recent technological developments allow sharing and application of the tacit knowledge while technology tools use the CoP(Community of Practice) that mainly interacts between people. Clearly, the most consideration in stimulating CoP is the circulation of knowledge, namely the willingness to share and use knowledge with others. It is then important to explain why individuals factors to share and use knowledge with others when they have a choice. In this paper, we would like to report to find out about factors whether people are actually sharing and using the knowledge obtained in CoP. The results help to analyze which factors are influenced to be a successful CoP in construction industry. The implications for theory and future research direction are discussed.

  • 2012년 12월 1일부로 시행된 협동조합기본법은 '협동조합의 사업 분야 전면적 개방', '협동조합 설립 요건 완화', '사회적 협동조합 제도 도입' 등의 특징을 갖고 있다. 협동조합은 농촌 지역사회의 경제적 지속가능성과 자조적 발전 역량 강화에 기여할 잠재력을 갖고 있다. 현재 농촌의 커뮤니티 비즈니스 조직 경영자 가운데 협동조합기본법을 인지하고 있는 이의 비율은 36.5%에 불과함에 비해 협동조합 설립 의향을 밝힌 이의 비율은 53.8%에 달했다. 협동조합기본법 시행에 상응한 농촌 정책 과제들을 다음과 같이 제시하였다. 첫째, 농촌 주민들이 협동조합을 학습할 기회를 확대해야 한다. 둘째, 여타의 법인에 비해 차별적인 처우를 받지 않도록 법규와 정책 사업 지침을 검토하고 개정해야 한다. 셋째, 농촌 지역의 사회 서비스 정책 추진체계에 사회적 협동조합이 자연스럽게 편입될 수 있게 법제와 정책을 정비해야 한다. 넷째, 장기적으로는 협동조합들의 협동이 촉진되도록 협동조합연합회 관련 법규를 개방적으로 바꾸어야 한다.
