Background & Objectives: The most northern and northwestern regions of Iran are at a high risk for gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the general population's awareness about risk factors, symptoms and signs, preventive methods and management of gastric carcinoma in a high prevalence city in the North of Iran. Methods: A cross-sectional population-based telephone survey which was conducted on 3,457 residents of Rasht, the capital city of Guilan Province, to assess their awareness regarding gastric carcinoma. The questionnaires contained demographic data and statements on respondents' knowledge about risk factors, symptoms and signs, prevention and management of gastric cancer which were filled by general practitioners after asking the subjects. Data were analyzed in SPSS14. P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean knowledge score of the respondents was $5.05{\pm}1.37$ regarding risk factors of gastric carcinoma, $4.39{\pm}1.99$ regarding symptoms and signs, $6.0{\pm}1.22$ regarding preventive strategies, and $1.6{\pm}1.16$ regarding management. Totally the mean knowledge level of the respondents toward gastric carcinoma would be $17.1{\pm}3.97$ from the maximum grade of 29. The age group of 45-55 y/o, bachelor degree and higher, physicians and nurses, those who had cancer history in friends or had the history of gastrointestinal diseases showed significantly higher knowledge scores (P=0.001). Conclusion: There is a general lack of awareness of cancer risk factors, symptoms and signs, methods of prevention, and importance of early diagnosis and treatment. Educational programs should be developed to promote adherence to recommended screening guidelines.

Background: Identifying and managing osteoporosis among cancer survivors is an important issue, yet little is known about the bone health of cancer survivors in Korea. This study was designed to measure the prevalence of osteoporosis and to assess related factors among Korean cancer survivors. Materials and Methods: This study was designed as a cross-sectional analysis. Data were obtained from dual energy X-ray absorptiometry measurement of the lumbar vertebrae and femoral neck, and from standardized questionnaires among 556 cancer survivors and 17,623 non-cancer controls who participated in the Fourth and Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (2008-2011). We calculated adjusted proportions of osteoporosis in non-cancer controls vs. cancer survivors, and we performed multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of osteoporosis among cancer survivors was significant higher than that of the non-cancer controls after adjusting for related factors. Furthermore, osteoporosis among cancer survivors was higher in elderly subjects (60-69 years : adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 3.04, 95% CI : 1.16-8.00, ${\geq}70$ years : aOR 6.60, 95% CI 2.20-19.79), in female cancer survivors (aOR: 7.03, 95% CI: 1.88-26.28), and in a group with lower monthly income (aOR: 3.38, 95% CI: 1.31-8.71). In male cancer survivors, underweight and lower calcium intake were risk factors. Conclusions: These data suggest that the osteoporosis among cancer survivors varies according to non-oncologic and oncologic factors. Effective screening should be applied, and a sufficient and comprehensive management should be matched to individual cancer survivors early after cancer treatment.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Malnutrition risk and malnutrition among the elderly is a public health concern. In combating this health-related problem, it is critically important to evaluate the risk factors in a multidimensional way and to apply appropriate nutrition intervention based on the results. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 215 elderly patients (32.6% male, 67.4% female) in a geriatric outpatient clinic of a hospital in Turkey. Nutritional questionnaires that incorporated the 24-h recall method were applied to determine general characteristics of patients, their health status, nutritional habits, and daily energy and nutrient intakes. Mini Nutritional Assessment was used to determine nutritional status. Relevant anthropometric measurements were obtained. RESULTS: The subjects' mean age was 76.1 ± 7.0 years, and the prevalence of malnutrition (n = 7) and risk of malnutrition (n = 53) among the 215 subjects was 3.2% and 24.7%, respectively. Patients with malnutrition or risk of malnutrition were found to be single, have a depression diagnosis, in an older age group, have less appetite, more tooth loss, have more frequent swallowing/chewing difficulty, and have more frequent meal skipping. In addition, mean daily energy, carbohydrate, fat, fiber, vitamin E, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin C, folates, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron intake, and water consumption were found to be statistically significantly low in subjects with malnutrition or risk of malnutrition. After performing regression analysis to determine confounding factors, malnutrition risk was significantly associated with marital status, loss of teeth, appetite status, and depression. CONCLUSIONS: Routine nutritional screening and assessment of the elderly should be performed. If nutritional deficiencies cannot be diagnosed early and treated, self-sufficiency in the elderly may deteriorate, resulting in increased institutionalization.

With the advent of the 5G era, smart phones and communications network technology have progressed, and mobile short video of people's life can be made, Of the new tools of communication, at present, China's social short video industry has shown rapid development, and the most representative of the short video app is Douyin (international version: Tiktok). Under the background of Uses and Gratifications Theory, this study discusse the relationship between Douyin users' preference degree, use motivation, use satisfaction and attention intention. This study divides the content of Douyin video into 10 categories, selects the form of an online questionnaire survey, uses SPSS software to conduct quantitative analysis of 202 questionnaires after screening, and finally draws the following conclusions: (1) The content preference degree of Douyin short video (the high group and low group) is different in users' use motivation, users' satisfaction degree and users' attention intention. ALL results are within the range of statistical significance.(2) Douyin users' video content preference degree has a positive impact on users' use motivation, users' satisfaction degree, and users' attention intention. (3) Douyin users' motivation has a positive impact on users' satisfaction and user' attention intention. (4) Douyin users' satisfaction degree has a positive impact on users' attention intention. Based on the research results, we suggest that Douyin platform pushes videos according to users' preferences. In addition, as the preference degree has an impact on users' motivation, satisfaction degree and attention intention of using the platform, it is important that the platform's focus should to pay attention to the preference degree of users. Collecting users' preferences at the early stage of users' entering the platform is a good way to learn from, and doing a good job of big data collection and management in the later operation.

본 연구는 언어가 가장 많이 발달하는 18-24개월 시기의 영아의 발달에 대해 세부적으로 파악하고, 빠른 시기에 적절한 중재 설계를 촉진 시킬 수 있는 발달 평가의 새로운 규준 마련에 목적이 있다. 따라서 우리는 18-24개월 영아의 언어발달 능력 지표를 알 수 있는 선별검사, 표준화된 검사도구 등의 하위 항목들을 구문/음운, 의미, 화용의 영역으로 나누어 각 문항들을 분류하고 5점 척도로 체크리스트를 만들어 18-24개월 영아를 둔 부모를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 현재 우리나라에서 국가적으로 시행하는 영유아 건강검진에서 언어 지연이 있는 영아 선별에 낮은 민감도, 국내 검사도구들이 표준화 된지 최소 6년에서 많게는 10년 이상으로 또래집단과 비교하였을 때 발달수준의 격차가 크다는 부모 또는 교사의 보고가 많은 실정이다. 연구 결과에서도 수용 및 표현 관련 설문 문항에서 '항상 가능하다.'와 '하기 시작했다'의 비율이 50~60% 이상이었다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 빠른 시기에 세부적으로 적절한 중재 설계를 촉진 시킬 수 있는 발달 평가의 새로운 규준이 마련되어 발달 및 언어 지연이 있는 영아의 선별에 활용되기를 바란다.

본 연구는 이성 교제의 경험이 있는 여대생을 대상으로 이성 교제 관련 특성, 자아존중감, 성적 자율성이 이성 교제의 집착 행동에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 목적으로 수행된 서술적 조사연구이다. 자료수집은 2012년 11월 25일부터 12월 20일까지 편의 표집의 방법으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여, 자가 보고식으로 조사되었으며, 총 167부의 설문지가 최종분석에 사용되었다. 자료 분석방법은 t-test, ANOVA, scheffe test, Pearson의 상관 계수와 다중 선형 회귀 분석방법을 사용하였다. 연구결과, 여대생의 이성 교제 시 집착 행동은 이별 경험의 횟수에 따라 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며(F=4.16, p=.003), 이성 교제의 집착 행동은 자아존중감(r=-.31, p<.001) 및 성적 자율성(r=-.21, p=.006)과 유의한 음의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 자아존중감과 이별 경험의 횟수는 여대생의 이성 교제에서의 집착 행동에 유의한 영향을 주는 요인으로, 약 20%의 설명력을 갖는 것으로 파악되었다(F=8.03, p<.001). 그러므로 이성 교제 시 집착 행동 관련 문제를 해결하기 위한 전략으로, 이성과의 이별횟수가 많은 여대생의 경우, 자아존중감과 성적 자율성을 강화하기 위한 인지적, 교육적 중재가 필요하며, 집착 행동의 위험요인을 가지고 있는 여대생을 선별하여, 사례별 문제해결 기반 상담을 제공하는 것이 심리적 건강향상에 도움이 될 것이다.
