In Korea, the enactment of National Health Promotion Act 1995 gradually increased considerable attention on not only the quality of life, but also the desire for health. Health Promoting Behaviors have been considered as significant factors in determining the quality of life. The purpose of this study was to examine health promoting behaviors of conscripted policemen, to analyze the relationship between such behaviors and a sense of self-efficacy, and finally to provide some basic data which can be utilized for developing health promotion programs of conscripted policemen. For this study, a total of 251 conscripted policemen in Daegu city and Kyongbuk Province were sampled. The data were collected for 7 days from August 20 to August 27 2012 by employing a questionnaire. The collected data were then processed by using the SPSS PC 18.0 program for Frequencies, Percentages, Means, Standard Deviations, and Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. This study measured 2.52(${\pm}0.28$) points in the health promoting behaviors, and 3.74(${\pm}0.50$) points in the extent of a sense of self-efficacy. Therefore, this study clearly demonstrated that health promoting behaviors are strongly correlated with a sense of self-efficacy in Korean conscripted policemen. Considering the results of this research, it is highly recommended that programs for improving health promoting behaviors of conscripted policemen should be developed.

This study is to understand the problems of current police raincoats for professional policemen and conscripted policemen. Interviews and a survey were completed to investigate the wearing conditions of current police raincoats. The questionnaire was composed of questions on current wearing conditions of raincoat, motional adaptability, dimensional compatibility, design suitability and demographic information on the research target. The results indicated that the wearing frequency of raincoats had significant difference according to duty and age range. The main reason for the low wearing frequency was the uncomfortableness of working while wearing the raincoat, followed by the inconvenience of managing the raincoat after use and feeling hot while wearing the raincoat. The three most important factors when wearing a raincoat was pleasantness, activity capability and the functionality of the fabric. The satisfaction on body parts during motions tended to be evaluated lower as the raincoat size increased. The results of the dissatisfaction factors indicated that the raincoat hood had the most problems. There was inconvenience when using the equipment belt because officers have to wear their belts inside the raincoat. In regards to the fabric satisfaction level, respondents were less satisfied with ventilation, hygroscopicity, and drying time. Therefor it appeared that the current raincoat had problems due a lack of functionality in regards to ventilation, hygroscopicity, and quick drying; in addition, the satisfaction on motional adaptability had a significant difference according to raincoat size.

The main objective of this research was to grasp using a structure equation analysis if an auxiliary police officer unit's measure of getting rid of assault gets to their adaptation to the unit through stress factor to reveal the cause of an auxiliary police officer unit's adaptation to unit. The data used for the research is survey data of all auxiliary police officer belonging to Ulsan Metropolitan Police Agency in 2011. The result of structure equation analysis showed that the mediated effect through stress was statistically meaningful in the level of p<.001. Also, the result of confirming the size of effect through standardized regression coefficients was that the effect of stress upon the adjustment to units was higher than the effect of unit's measure of getting rid of assault. Namely, unit's measure of getting rid of assault has a positive effect upon a conscripted policemen unit's adaptation to unit, but it showed that an auxiliary police officer unit's adaptation to unit had the bigger individual stress factor than that of unit's measure of getting rid of assault. From this, authorities should recognize that an auxiliary police officer's stress is a cause to determine their adaptation to units, and prepare its alternative.
