Background: The appropriate use of drugs is very important for a healthy life, as appropriate medication must be taken correctly for successful treatment of a disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the self-efficacy between health status and drug abuse behavior. Methods: The subjects of this study were selected from 15 workshops located in Seoul, Incheon, Daejeon, and Chungnam, and, convenience sampling was conducted for each employee between September, 2017 and October 2017. A total of 204 questionnaires were analyzed. The questions evaluated health status, self-efficacy, drug abuse behavior, and general characteristics. Results: First, there was no difference in health status according to the general characteristics of the subjects. The self-efficacy varied according to gender, educational background, and monthly income, but not by marital status and residence area. In addition, drug abuse behaviors differed according to gender, residence area, and monthly income, but not by marital status and education level. Second, drug abuse behavior negatively correlated with health status and self-efficacy. Third, regression analysis showed that the self-efficacy between the health status and drug abuse behavior had a partially mediating effect. Conclusion: In patients with poor health status, it is necessary to increase their self-efficacy to reduce reduce drug abuse. Therefore, regular education programs targeting efficacy and drug knowledge are required in the community.

Background: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Korea. To reduce cancer incidence, the Korean National Cancer Center (KNCC) has been expanding its organized cancer screening program. In addition, there are opportunistic screening programs that can be chosen by individuals or their healthcare providers. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors associated with participation in organized and opportunistic cancer screening programs, with a particular focus on socioeconomic factors. Materials and Methods: We used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), a cross-sectional nationwide study conducted by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare from 2007 to 2011. The study included information from 9,708 men and 12,739 women aged 19 years or over. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted, adjusting for age, year of data collection, residential region, current smoking status, current alcohol consumption status, exercise, marriage status, job status, perceived health status, stress level, BMI, limitation of activities, cancer history, health insurance type, and private insurance status, to investigate the association between education level, economic status, and cancer screening participation. Results: In terms of education level, disparities in attendance were observed only for the opportunistic screening program. In contrast, there was no association between education level and participation in organized screening. In terms of economic status, disparities in opportunistic screening participation were observed at all income levels, but disparities in organized screening participation were observed only at the highest income level. Conclusions: Our findings reveal that socioeconomic factors, including educational level and economic status, were not significantly associated with participation in organized cancer screening, except at the highest level of income.

Objectives: About for twenty years, immigrant women in South Korea have steadily increased due to economic growth and industrialization. According to previous studies in terms of immigrants, subjective socio-economic status(SES) as well as objective SES such as income, occupation and level of education predict health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine association between subjective social status and perceived health among immigrant women. Methods: We analyzed 12,531 participants from the 2012 National Survey of Multicultural Families. Study variables included subjective SES in Korea, subjective SES in community and perceived health. Control variables were age, household income, employment, education, marital status, ethnicity, language proficiency. For this study, descriptive analysis, Chi-square test, and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed. Results: Among immigrant women, after adjusting for control variables, level of education in community was not associated with perceived health. Otherwise, subjective social status in Korea(low subjective social status reference group vs high subjective status : OR 2.056) was associated with perceived health. Conclusions: Immigrant women in Korea would be culturally affected by inherent characteristic rather than social economic status. Through this study, in order to improve health inequality among immigrant women, we should consider developing social supports and networks.

- Abstract - Objectives: The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the characteristics of which laypersons want the cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) education. Methods: Based on a health survey(ｎ=913) of 5 remote places in Korea, tests of the differences between the group that wants the CPR education(ｎ=416) and the group that doesn't(ｎ=497), and a logistic regression analysis of two groups was performed on socio-economic status and health-medical conditions. Results: Even the participation rate of the CPR education in Korea is only 5.8%, which is extremely lower than other developed countries, there are statistically significant differences between the group that wants the CPR and the group that doesn't on gender(ｐ=0.001), age(ｐ=0.000), education level(ｐ=0.000), economic status(ｐ=0.007), and CPR education taken(ｐ=0.000), and health status(ｐ=0.042). Furthermore, age(OR=1.599, ｐ=0.002), age(OR=0.964, ｐ=0.000), economic status(OR=0.804, ｐ=0.028), and CPR education taken(OR=2.072, ｐ=0.026) are statistically significant factors on the willingness to receive the CPR education. Conclusions: This study indicates that there is considerable variation in socio-economic status and health-medical conditions associated with the willingness to receive the CPR education. In remote places. certain subgroups of laypersons such as high-risk patients and family members need targeted outreach programs in CPR education.

최근 인적자원개발에 있어서 기업의 역할이 크게 강조되고 있는 것과는 달리 이에 대한 한국에서의 연구는 상대적으로 부족하다. 이러한 현실에 기초하여 본 논문은 한국 기업의 교육훈련투자 실태와 효율화 방안을 연구하는 데 그 목적을 두었다. 그리고 본 논문의 주된 분석방법은 한국 기업 중 교육훈련 측면에서 선도적 위치에 있다고 판단되는 기업을 대상으로 이루어지는 구체적 사래분석 방법이다. 사례분석에 앞서 먼저 기업 교육훈련의 개념과 투자규모에 관한 외국의 이론적 실증적 연구를 정리하고 기업 교육훈련의 효율화 요인에 관한 분석틀을 설정한 후 이 분석틀에 입각하여 사례기업의 교육훈련투자 실태와 효율화 수준 및 향후 방안에 관한 분석을 시도하였다. 효율화에 초점을 맞춰 보면 사례기업의 경우 교육훈련투자의 효율성을 제고하는 데 필요한 요인들 중에서 이미 거의 충족하고 있거나 적어도 충족가능성을 보이는 요인들도 있지만 전체적으로 볼 때 지금까지의 노력보다 훨씬 더 많은 해결 과제를 가지고 있었다. 이것이 한국 기업들 중에서 선도적인 위치에 있는 기업 상황이라고 한다면 한국 전체 기업들의 교육훈련투자 효율성의 실정(저효율성)은 매우 심각하다고 하지 않을 수 없다.
