Purpose: As health care needs for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) are becoming increasingly important, it has become imperative for the nurses to be attentive towards their health problems and provide nursing care with an open-minded attitude. Due to limited opportunity to provide direct nursing care to LGBT patients, it is hypothesized that simulation would provide good opportunity for students to experience LGBT nursing care in a safe environment. This study was conducted to develop and apply simulation of LGBT nursing care to ultimately provide unbiased nursing care for LGBT population and prepare basic data for LGBT nursing education. Methods: This study was a single-group pre-post experimental design study for 57 senior nursing students based on the comparison of existing LGBT knowledge, general attitude towards LGBT, and nursing attitude towards LGBT before and after simulation. The scenario content included discussion of coming out issue, providing sexual health information, and supportive nursing care for LGBT population. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon signed rank. Results: Simulation education-led to a significant increase in LGBT knowledge and nursing attitude. However, there was no change in the general attitude towards LGBT. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that LGBT education using simulation may be effective for nursing students and nurses from the point of concern for LGBT population. It is hypothesized that future LGBT educational programs might need more detailed information from both care recipients and nurses. Finally, LGBT education needs to be included in the nursing education curriculum.

Purpose: To identify cancer patient and relatives beliefs, information needs, information-seeking behavior and information sources about cancer and treatment. Methods: This research was conducted at two hospitals of a university. Data was collected via questionnaires and the Turkish version of the Miller Behavioral Style Scale (MBSS) to assess information-seeking behavior. The sample included 82 patients and 54 relatives. Results: Patients were receiving treatment mostly for breast, gynecologic, lung cancer and leukemia/ lymphoma. All of them indicated that they want to be informed by a doctor about their diagnosis and treatment first. Other information sources were internet, media and nurses. The majority of the patients and half of their relatives agreed that "cancer is curable and preventable disease". Only 2.5% of patients agreed with the statement "I don't want to get information about disease which disturbs me". According the data obtained from MBSS; the mean patients MBSS score ($6.41{\pm}3.2$) was higher than their relatives ($5.46{\pm}3.1$). Respondents with higher education and younger age indicated more information-seeking behavior. Conclusions: Patients and their relatives differ in some of their information-seeking behavior. Patients beliefs and their strategies for coping with their illness can constrain their wish for information and their efforts to obtain it. Healthcare professionals need to assess and be sensitive to the information-seeking behavior of cancer patients and their relatives.

This paper describes progress on formulating a national asbestos profile for the country of Vietnam. The Center of Asbestos Resource, Vietnam, formulated a National Profile on Asbestos-related Occupational Health, with due reference to the International Labor Organization/World Health Organization National Asbestos Profile. The Center of Asbestos Resource was established by the Vietnamese Health Environment Management Agency and the National Institute of Labor Protection, with the support of the Australian Agency for International Development, as a coordinating point for asbestos-related issues in Vietnam. Under the National Profile on Asbestos-related Occupational Health framework, the Center of Asbestos Resource succeeded in compiling relevant information for 15 of the 18 designated items outlined in the International Labor Organization/World Health Organization National Asbestos Profile, some overlaps of the information items notwithstanding. Today, Vietnam continues to import and use an average of more than 60,000 metric tons of raw asbestos per year. Information on asbestos-related diseases is limited, but the country has begun to diagnose mesothelioma cases, with the technical cooperation of Japan. As it stands, the National Profile on Asbestos-related Occupational Health needs further work and updating. However, we envisage that the National Profile on Asbestos-related Occupational Health will ultimately facilitate the smooth transition to an asbestos-free Vietnam.

사람들은 청소년기에 성적 지향이나 성 정체성에 대해 인식하기 시작하며, 청소년들은 성에 관한 민감한 건강정보 탐색을 위해 접근이 편하고 익명성이 보장된 지식검색 커뮤니티를 자주 이용한다. 본 연구는 지식검색 커뮤니티에 나타난 청소년들의 성 정체성에 관련된 질문과 답변을 바탕으로 그들의 정보탐색 행태를 관찰하고자 하였다. 먼저, 그들의 정보 요구를 파악하고 그들이 공유한 질문에 제공된 답변들 가운데 채택된 답변과 비 채택된 답변의 특성을 비교하여 청소년들이 어떠한 답변을 선호하는지 조사하였다. 이를 위해 국내의 대표적인 지식검색 커뮤니티인 네이버 지식iN에서 2016년 1월부터 2018년 12월까지 3년간 채택된 답변과 비 채택된 답변으로 구성된 총 358세트의 데이터를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 성 정체성에 관한 고민을 가진 청소년들은 성 정체성에 대한 정의나 혼란에 관한 정보 요구가 많았다. 이용자들이 채택한 답변에는 공감 및 긍정적인 느낌을 주는 요인들이 채택되지 않은 답변에 비해 많았으며, 반면에 채택되지 않은 답변에는 부정적인 요인들이 높게 나타났다. 본 연구는 성 정체성이 확립되지 않은 청소년들이 가진 정보 요구와 정보탐색 행태를 분석하여 정보탐색 분야의 논의를 확장하고 건강정보 이용자의 정보 평가에 이용되는 인지적 및 감정적 모델을 검증했다는 데 학문적 의의가 있다. 또한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 소셜 미디어가 청소년에게 제공해야 할 성 정체성에 관한 효과적인 정보서비스에 대한 실질적인 함의를 제안한다.
