Purpose: This study aimed to develop a scale to measure distress in patients with ischemic stroke and verify its validity and reliability. Methods: Preliminary items were developed from literature review and in-depth interviews. The final preliminary scale was confirmed through a content validity test of eight experts and a preliminary survey of 10 stroke patients. The participants for psychometric testing were 305 stroke patients in the outpatient clinic. Validity and reliability analyses included item analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity, known-group validity, and internal consistency of the scale. Results: The final scale consisted of 17 items and 3 factors. The three distinct factors were 'self-deprecation, worry about future health, and withdrawal from society' and this structure was validated using a confirmatory factor analysis. Convergent validity was supported by comparison with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (r = .54, p < .001) and Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (r = .67, p < .001). Known-groups validity was verified by dividing groups according to 'duration since diagnosis' (t = 2.65, p = .009), 'presence of sequela' (t = 10.16, p < .001), and 'awareness of distress' (t = 12.09, p < .001). The internal consistency of the scale using Cronbach's α for the total items was .93. Conclusion: The Ischemic Stroke Distress Scale is a valid and reliable tool that reflects stroke distress effectively. It is expected to be used as a basic tool to develop various intervention strategies to reduce distress in ischemic stroke patients.

The development of rural areas is expected to be holistic covering all essential infrastructure. Community information centres (CICs) are agen- cies that should be part of the infrastructures for rural development. Unfortunately, these centres are hardly seen in rural communities in Nigeria, including Afikpo in Ebonyi State. Thus, this study was conceived to explore the perceptions of citizens towards the establishment of CICs in the locality. It adopted survey research method with questionnaire as instrument for data collection, which was self-developed and validated by experts with a pre-texted reliability index of 0.72. A total of 399 copies of the questionnaire were distributed, out of which 267 copies were properly completed, representing 67% and were used for analysis. Findings revealed that the citizens have overall positive perception to- wards establishing the CICs; they are also knowledgeable of the benefits of such centres. Furthermore, there are workable suggestions on ways of establishing, funding and managing CICs in Afikpo. In addition, about 65% of the respondents indicated interest to assist and support the funding and management of the CICs when established. However, the challenges of inadequate funding and support as well as the possible politics of where to site/locate the CICs in Afikpo, are likely impediments to the project. The study concluded that citizens have strong and positive disposition towards establishing CICs in Afikpo. The implications of such CICs for technological innovations were analysed. The study recom- mends, among others, that government should see the establishment of CICs as priority projects that would significantly contribute to the growth and development of rural communities in Nigeria; communities in Afikpo should explore self-help approach to development; and political representatives from Afikpo should take advantage of establishing CICs as constituency projects for the citizens.

Background: In modern society, the number of households raising companion animals increases, and the market for veterinary medicines is expanding even more. This study aims to investigate the perception of companion animal lovers' veterinary medicines, the necessity of specific guidance by pharmacists for veterinary medicines, the role of pharmacists at veterinary pharmacies, and ways to fulfill that role. Methods: This study evaluated veterinary medicines and medication guidance through Google online questionnaire targeting pet-lovers from December 20, 2021, until January 19, 2022. The questions consist of 1) characteristics of petlovers, 2) purchase history and drug recognition of veterinary drugs, 3) use of veterinary vaccines, 4) use of diagnostic kits, and 5) guidance of veterinary medicines by local pharmacists. Results: The respondents' experience purchasing veterinary drugs was as high as 94.4%. The most purchased drug was heartworm-preventing products, and vaccination was performed mainly at veterinary clinics (veterinarians). The respondents primarily purchased veterinary medicines for companion animals at veterinary hospitals and did not know the name of the drugs which they bought. In addition, respondents expected to receive specific information on veterinary medicines from pharmacists. Conclusion: As the number of veterinary pharmacies in the community will increase with the expansion of the companion animal market, pharmacists should play their role as experts in veterinary medicines through systematic and continuous professional education.

The study surveyed care giver's perceptions of baby food and evaluated the quantitative and qualitative aspects of Korean websites related to the baby food for atopic dermatitis infants. Sources of care giver information about baby food were the internet (93%), clinics (57%), television (52%), oriental clinics (37%), and neighbors (6%). The five most commonly-used internet search engines (Daum, Google, Nate, Naver and Yahoo) were searched using the terms "atopic dermatitis", "weaning food" and "baby food". The searched websites included oriental medical clinics (38.8%), online merchant companies (13.4%), corporations (13.4%), medical clinics (11.9%), related associations (11.9%), public health centers (4.4%) and personal sites (4.4%). Website food and nutrition information included medical information about baby food for atopic dermatitis (92.6%), baby food for atopic dermatitis (67.6%), related community (58.8%), product information (32.4%) and baby food preparation for atopic dermatitis (23.5%). Qualitative evaluation was conducted based on the American Library Association website checklist; Website operator and information sources were provided for 62.7% and 38.8% of the websites, respectively. The purpose of a website was more explicitly stated in medical clinic sites than nonmedical sites. Only 24.2% of websites had a title that appropriately reflected the site's purpose. The majority (92.5%) of the sites were easy to read and understand. Information was judged to be sufficient in 65% of the medical sites and 74.1% of non-medical sites. A feedback menu and search function were enabled in 85.1% and 28.4% of the sites, respectively. The mean score for quality grade was 14.64 (range 9-19). In conclusion, in order to improve the information of baby food for atopic dermatitis infants in websites, accurate information by experts and continuing monitoring are highly required.

현재 독서에 대한 관심이 고조되어 있지만, 우리나라 실정에 알맞는 독서 관련 평가도구가 마련되어 있지 않아 이에 대한 소개와 개발이 절실히 요구된다. 여러가지 평가 영역 중에서도 독자를 중심으로 한 정서적 측면의 독서 평가는 학생들을 평생 독서가로 이끌 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 이에 본 연구에서는 독자의 정서적 측면에 기반한 독서 평가도구를 독서 태도, 독서 흥미, 독서 동기유발 그리고 독서에 대한 자아개념, 이 4가지로 나누어 문헌조사법을 사용하여 소개하였다. 또한 이를 기초로 차후에 독서 평가도구 개발 시 참고할 사항을 밝혀놓았다. 정서적 측면의 독서 평가도구 개발 시에는 스스로를 독자로 어떻게 평가하는지에 대한 항목이 가장 우선시되며, 독자 인근의 인간관계(교사, 학부모 그리고 친구)를 통한 평가 항목이 수반되어야 한다. 이러한 적절한 항목의 설정뿐 아니라 평가도구 실시자를 위한 관리법과 해석 및 활용을 위한 지침서도 함께 제시되어야 할 것이다.

Background: The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is used in the colleges of Korean Medicine, but few studies have validated the OSCE evaluation criteria or post-education questionnaires. Diagnostic ultrasound is used in Korean medicine treatment including acupuncture, acupotomy, and pharmacopuncture to increase the safety and efficacy of treatment. We aimed to develop and validate a OSCE checklist and questionnaire for diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound training. Methods: A OSCE checklist and rubric for diagnostic ultrasound training, and questionnaire was developed using literature research. Eight expert panelists verified each draft item in a single-round survey. Items with a content validity ratio (CVR) < 0.75 were excluded or modified to reflect the experts' opinions. Results: The OSCE checklist and rubric for diagnostic ultrasound training focusing on volar wrist and carpal tunnel syndrome included: 15 items revised according to CVR and expert opinions, the pre-examination procedure, structures to be identified by ultrasound, scans with 2 diagnostic criteria for carpal tunnel syndrome, an explanation of the exam results, and the post exam procedure. The questionnaire consisted of 15 items, including the overall evaluation of training, the effect of the OSCE, and the perception of the ultrasound. All 6 self-evaluation items were not revised, as they had a CVR of ≥ 0.75. Conclusion: An ultrasound OSCE for scanning the volar wrist and diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome was developed using 15 validated tasks, 15 survey questions about ultrasound training, and 6 questions for self-evaluation. These results may be used in the future for education in diagnostic ultrasound.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Dietitians frequently use nutrition education tools to facilitate dietary counselling sessions. Nevertheless, these tools may require adaptation to keep pace with technological advancements. This study had a 2-fold purpose: first, to identify the types of nutrition education tools currently in use, identify their limitations, and explore dietitians' perspectives on the importance of these tools; second, to investigate the features that dietitians prefer in digital nutrition education tools. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A semi-structured face-to-face interview was conducted among 15 dietitians from selected public hospitals, primary care clinics, and teaching hospitals in Malaysia. Inductive thematic analysis of the responses was conducted using NVivo version 12 software. RESULTS: Most dietitians used physical education tools including the healthy plate model, pamphlets, food models, and flip charts. These tools were perceived as important as they facilitate the nutrition assessment process, deliver nutrition intervention, and are time efficient. However, dietitians described the current educational tools as impersonal, outdated, limited in availability due to financial constraints, unhandy, and difficult to visualise. Alternatively, they strongly favoured digital education tools that provided instant feedback, utilised an automated system, included a local food database, were user-friendly, developed by experts in the field, and seamlessly integrated into the healthcare system. CONCLUSION: Presently, although dietitians have a preference for digital educational tools, they heavily rely on physical nutrition education tools due to their availability despite the perception that these tools are outdated, impersonal, and inconvenient. Transitioning to digital dietary education tools could potentially address these issues.

서울 소재 11개 교육대학원 가정교육전공 교육과정에 대한 운영 실태를 자료를 통해 조사하고, 가정교과에 대한 교육대학원생의 인식을 설문지를 통해 살펴보았다. 가정교육전공 교육목표는 공통적으로 가정과 교사의 재교육, 전문성 향상과 유능한 가정교육 전문가를 양성하는 것이었다. 졸업 이수학점은 대부분 30학점이고, 교직과목은 $6{\sim}8$학점, 전공과목은 $16{\sim}21$학점, 논문 학점은 $3{\sim}6$학점이었다. 전임교수의 확보가 부족하고, 3개 학교만이 사범대에 가정교육과가 개설되어 있었다. 교직과목은 교사자격 검정령에 의한 과목이 공통으로 개설되었다. 전공과목은 가정교과교육, 의류학, 식품영양학 영역의 교과목 개설 비중이 높고, 소비자.가정 관리학, 아동 가족학, 주거학 영역은 상대적으로 비중이 낮았다. 교육대학원생은 교육대학원의 기능을 교과교육 전문가 양성, 교원양성기관, 교사 재교육 순으로 인식하였다. 가정교육과 학부출신과 직업이 교사인 학생은 교사 재교육에, 타과 출신과 교사가 아닌 학생은 교원양성기관에 더 높게 인식하였다. 운영에 대한 만족도는 전반적으로 낮게 나타났고, 가정교과 교육과정에 대한 만족도는 보통이나 특히 전공과목 중 실험 실습에 대한 만족도가 매우 낮게 나타났다. 직업에 따른 만족도 비교는 교직과목에서만 유의한 차이가 나타났는데 교사가 아닌 교육대학원생이 교사보다 만족도가 높았다. 교사인 경우 전공과목의 학교현장 활용도가 높아 실제 수업을 할 때 전공과목이 도움이 된다고 생각하였다. 개선안으로는 전임교수의 확보와 전공과목 개설확대를 요구하였다.

본 연구는 대규모 조사 자료에 근거한 한국 사회의 문화자본 지형도를 구성하기 위한 기초 연구의 일환으로, 다른 국가들에서 집적된 기존 자료와의 비교가 가능하면서도 동시에 현재 한국 사회에 적합한 질문 문항을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 광범위한 국내의 문화자본 관련 문헌들에 대한 비판적 고찰을 통해 이론적 배경을 확립하고, 주요 문헌과 조사에서 사용한 척도 및 관련 질문지와 자료를 수집하였다. 이를 토대로 질문지에서 다루어야 할 주요 영역과 차원을 선정하고 선정된 각 영역과 차원을 고려하여 한국 사회에 보다 적합한 질문 문항을 개발하기 위해 각 분야별 문헌조사와 전문가 조사, 그리고 대상자 질적 조사를 수행하였다. 이상의 절차를 통해 본 연구는, 문화예술 활동과 음악장르를 주요 영역으로 선정하고 문화의 '고급/대중' 차원과 '소비/생산' 차원, 그리고 한국적 특수성을 고려하여 구체적인 항목을 구성하였다. 그리고 이렇게 구성된 각 항목들에 대해서는 그 동안 문화자본의 보유 정도를 측정함에 있어 기존의 연구들에서 일관성 없이 사용된 문화자본 측정의 세 가지 측면(선호, 참여, 인지)을 통합 보완하여, 각 항목을 좋아하는 정도(선호), 각 항목에 참여하는 정도(참여), 그리고 각 항목이 고급스럽다고 생각하는 정도(인지)와 각 항목이 멋있다고 생각하는 정도(인지)를 묻는 질문 문항을 개발하였다. 본 연구는 문화자본에 관한 기존의 연구들에서 사용된 방대한 양의 질문 문항들을 비판적으로 고찰하고, 이에 한국적 특수성을 고려한 항목들을 추가하여 보다 한국적인 문화자본을 찾아낼 수 있는 큰 틀을 마련하고, 이로써 그 동안 서구 중심적으로 진행되어 왔던 문화자본 논의에 있어서의 비서구적 공백을 메울 수 있는 기반을 제공한다는 점에서 의의를 갖는다.
