  • This study researches an obesity index and the realities of physical activity of elementary school children and provide basic data to instruct correct physical activity for low weight and obese children. The subject was 813 Elementary School Children of grade 4-6 in Kyungju and data were collected with a Physical Activity Questionnaire from YHS, USA. The collected data were analyzed with real number, percentage, average and standard deviation techniques. The range was by SPSS WIN. Both of them were in the normal range, between -38.3 and 77.7, between low weight and obesity. The results are as follows : 1. An Obesity index according to grade and sex: the average obesity index of 423 boys was $7.56{\pm}15.7$, for girls it was $2.56{\pm}14.3$. Both of them were in the normal range, between -38.3 and 77.7. There were low weight($-38.85{\pm}0.9$) students as well as obese, including extremely low weight children ($-38.85{\pm}0.9$) and extremely obese children. 2. On the whole, in the Frequency of the 25 item physical activities breakdown, children reported to watch TV 1. ($2.7{\pm}0.6$), or do homework($2.1{\pm}0.9$), more than three-fourths of the week, male children, however, played more football($2.0{\pm}0.9$). As male obese children do less MET5, MET8(highly active activity) than male normal children, it was also discovered that low weight children do more severe activity in MET8(high activity). In female cases, it was revealed that neither do highly intense activity. 3. In physical activity, male children received higher points than female children with $92.94{\pm}37.95$ to $74.46{\pm}29.50$. On the whole, male and female obese children had lower score than normal children. 4. As for attitude toward physical activity, male children($31.96{\pm}4.37$) had a positive attitude than female children ($29.57{\pm}3.89$), but obese male children had a negative attitude regarding activity viewed as normal. Therefore, in preventing obesity in elementary school children the treating of under-weight children should be included in the obesity program so as to prevent mal-nutrition or deficiency. It is needed to instruct obese children to carry out intensive work-outs at least 3 times a week through systematic programs. It is also needed that parents and teachers educate elementary school children from an early age with information on the frequency and intensity of work-outs to prevent obesity. It is also desirable that children be educated to carry out physical activities that address their specific needs. As a result of this study, obesity management must be started from elementary school and children should be instructed to act in high-intensity actirities when they spend leisure time.

  • For the purpose of strengthening Dental Hygiene students' confidence and motivation in the Dental Hygiene Department and helping construct proper professionalism, survey on Dental Hygiene students' consciousness of attitude to and satisfaction of the course, career plan and occupation mind set was carried out. 530 three year students in 8 Dental Hygiene academies in Seoul and Kyonggi province were questioned. The results of the survery are as follows:. 1. Dental Hygiene students' motives consisted primarily of employment and a desire for professionalism 25% of them entered the course after one failure in the entrance examination and 17% had family members engaging in the dentistry field 84%, the largest portion, were from an academic high school. 24% had some knowledge of Dental Hygiene, which they had acquired from seniors, friends, and teachers. 2. Patient care and treatment assistance related matters were not considered important in the course. The weak points of the course turned out to be education in computers and foreign languages, but the weakest was the ability of patient care during clinical training. 53% had experiences had thought of changing their major while in the course because it didn't match their aptitude and interest. 3. As for a career after graduation, 49% worried about it Most students wanted to work at a dental hospital or general hospital, The most favored duty was coordination or reception or oral disease preventive work. They wanted to work untill they had a stable living. 68% answered they would get a job at an oral clinic and 70% said they would continue studying for self-realization. 4. Satisfaction with the major was high in students whose aptitude and interest matched the course, who had background knowledge of the major, and who. didn't think of changing the major but would continue studying resulting in statistically slight difference(p<0.001). As to satisfaction with the faculties, it was high in the students whose aptitude and interest matched the major and who didn't think about a career after graduation showing a slight difference(p<05, p<0l). As for satisfaction with clinical training, students whose aptitude and interest matched the major and who didn't consider changing the major answered positively showing a statistically slight difference(p<.001, p<.01). As to satisfaction with the course, it was high in the students who entered with aptitude and interest, who had preliminary knowledge, who didn't consider changing the major, and who didn't think about a career after graduation showing a statistically slight difference(p<.001, p<.05). 5. Occupation mind-set was positive for students who entered with interest and aptitude, who had preliminary knowledge, and who had not considered changing the major showing a statistically slight difference(P<.001). The higher the satisfaction with the major, faculty and clinical training was, the more positive the occupation mind-set was(p<.001).

  • This research was conducted to identify the factors that cause school related stress among middle school students, and to develop countermeasures in order to prevent the rebellious acts of middle school students that are on the rise and to pursue after effective guidance measures. To achieve these research objectives, 856 questionnaires were distributed to the two middle schools, situated in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi Province, and these questionnaires were analyzed, using the SPSS statistical package program. The conclusions were as follows; 1. Perceived factors for School Related Stress Overall average of the perceived degree school related stress factors was a level that goes beyond the normalcy. Stress on the grade was the highest Among these, the average of question items that addressed decrease in grade was the highest of all items followed by class factors, teacher-related factors, friend-related factors, and environmental factors. Accordingly, this research demonstrated that the students feel pressured by the university entrace examination and a school life that is focused on grades. The teacher-related factors and class factors were higher than the average, and others were relatively low. 2. School Related Stress according by Individual All the factors for school related stress were statistically significant difference according to the gender, and teacher-related factors, class factors, and environmental factors were statistically significant difference according to their school years. Their grade made their grade factors statistically significant difference, and the number of friends produced a statistically significant difference result on the teacher-related factors. Wheather they had extra classes or not made a statistically significant difference result on the class factors and environmental factors, and especially the time of doing physical exercises produced statistically significant difference on the environmental factors. 3. Countermeasures for School Related Stress according by Individual As for the countermeasures for school related stress according to the individuality, the active reacting was statistically significant difference according to the gender index, and the student's degree to react passively was statistically significant difference according to their grade. The students in different school years showed statistically significant difference reactions in both passive ways and active ways. students tended to react differently in an unreality index. Lastly, Wheather they had extra classes and physical exercises made then to react passively or actively. When the results are compiled, students are most affected by the stress related to grades, which reflected the university entrance examination oriented school life. An alternative is that the development of educational program that factors in the students' talents and aptitude is needed urgently. Moreover, character and career path related guidance and education are just as important as the academics. Given that the stress factors exert some degree of influence on the countermeasures, it is necessary to block the factors in advance and for all the teachers and parents to make an effort to react actively.

  • 본 연구는 장애인의 구강건강을 위해 특수교사 및 보호자의 구강건강 중요성을 인식하게 하고, 장애인 스스로 올바른 구강용품 사용과 행위로 구강청결도를 높이기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 서울 지역 H 장애인 복지시설과 E 장애인 종합복지관을 이용하는 정신지체 장애인 총 93명을 대상으로 보호자 및 특수교사로부터의 설문지 응답과, 장애인들을 대상으로 잇솔질 교육, 식이조절, 구강보조용품 사용 등의 구강보건 교육과 간이구강위생지수, 치면세균막 지수, 개량 구강위생상태를 확인하는 구강검진을 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 정신지체 1급과 2급, 3급의 잇솔질 교육 후 실천도를 조사한 결과, 정신지체 1급의 경우, 아침식사 전에는 변함이 없었다. 아침식사 후는 2차 교육 이후에는 약간의 증가를 보였지만 3차 교육 후에는 다시 교육 전과 같았다. 둘째, 장애유형과 교육 횟수에 따른 간이구강환경지수의 변화에는 상호작용 효과가 없었으나 장애유형에 따른 주효과는 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 교육 횟수와 간이구강환경지수의 차이가 있는지 반복측정 분산분석 결과, 간이구강환경지수는 시간에 의한 차이는 통계적으로 유의하였다(F=5.961, p<.01). 넷째, 장애유형별 치면 세균막 상태의 변화는 시간에 의한 차이가 통계적으로 유의하였으며, 사후검증결과 1차와 4차간에 유의한 차이가 나타났다(F=5.126, p<.05). 마지막으로 연구대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 구강보건 인식도 변화는 성별, 연령, 장애유형, 교육기관, 학력 정도 등 모든 변인에서 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과, 장애인의 잇솔질은 2차교육 때까지 잇솔질 횟수의 증가를 보였으나 그 이후 잇솔질 횟수의 감소경향이 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 잇솔질 교육을 받은 후, 처음에는 흥미를 갖고 잘 실천하다가 시간이 지나면서 흥미를 잃어 원래의 생활 패턴으로 돌아가기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 그러나 간이구강환경지수나 치면 세균막 지수 등의 결과로 볼 때 올바른 잇솔질 방법으로 구강청결도는 증가함을 보였다. 장애인의 구강보건 교육은 잇솔질 교육을 장기간 하는 것보다는 주기적으로 흥미를 유발하면서 진행하는 것이 장애인의 구강건강 향상을 증진시키는 것이라 생각한다.

  • 목 적 : 현행 중 고등학교 교과서 중 '기술가정', '가정과학' 교과서에 소아의 건강 관리 및 육아에 관한 내용이 수록되어 있어, 이 들 교과서의 내용이 의학적으로 적절한지를 살펴보고 만약 부정확하거나 틀린 내용 혹은 근거가 없는 내용이 수록되어 있다면 이를 시정하여 잘못된 정보가 전달되지 않도록 하기 위하여 검정교과서를 검토해 보았다. 방 법 : 2007년 발행된 중 고등학교 교과서 중 '기술가정', '가정과학' 교과서 47편을 대상으로 하였고, 각 교과서에서 소아의 건강 관리 및 육아에 관련된 내용이 차지하는 비중과 부적절한 내용을 찾아 정의가 잘못된 경우, 정보 자체가 틀린 경우, 부연 설명이 부족한 경우 등으로 나누었으며, 각 교과서의 저자들의 전공분야도 함께 분석해 보았다. 결 과 : 중학교 '기술가정'에서는 청소년기의 정신 및 신체적 변화와 영양에 대해 다루고 있었고, 고등학교 '기술가정', '가정과학'의 경우, 결혼 및 육아에 대해 다루고 있었다. 각각이 차지하는 비중은 중학교 '기술가정'이 평균 27.5%, 고등학교 '기술가정' 및 '가정과학'이 평균 11.7%였다. 내용에 있어서는 정의가 잘못된 경우로는 신생아 및 영아기의 연령 구분이 가장 많았고, 내용 자체가 틀렸거나 부정확한 경우는 주로, 숫구멍, 원시반사, 모유 및 이유식 등에 관한 내용들이었으며, 이 밖에도 배꼽소독 및 영유아의 발달 단계 등에 관해 부적절한 정보를 전달하고 있었다. 예방 접종표는 개정판이 아닌 1997년판을 사용하고 있었다. 부연설명이 부족했던 경우로는 태아기의 설명이나 증상만으로 의심해 볼 질병에 대한 기술이 너무 비약적이어서 혼란을 야기할 가능성이 많았다. 모유수유나 이유식에 대해서도 기술이 불충분하거나 적절하지 못하여 잘못된 인식을 가지기 쉬운 부분이 많았다. 이들 중학교와 고등학교 교과서 저자들의 전공을 살펴보면 가정 계열이 각각 75.7%, 74.1%로 가장 많았으며, 그 다음으로 현직 교사 및 장학사가 각각 24.3%, 25.9%를 나타내었고, 집필 과정에서 관련 의학 전문 학술단체나 전문가의 검토를 거친 근거는 없었다. 결 론 : 교과서 내에 소아의 건강 관리 및 육아에 관한 내용을 기술할 때 '대한소아과학회'와 같은 전문 학술단체의 감수를 거쳐 정확한 의학 정보를 제공함으로써 중 고등학교 학생들이 실생활에 적용하는데 있어 혼란이 초래되지 않도록 교과서 집필 과정을 시급히 개선하여야 한다.

Mean age at menarche and the percent distribution of menarche experienced. It was observed that about 68.7% of sampled students have been experienced menarche at the time interviewed. For the each group, age at menarche is revealed that among the students about 37.8% are experienced menarche for under 12 years old group, 62.1% for 13 year-old group, 80.6% for 14 year-old group and 95.5% for over 15 years old. In sum it was found that the mean age at menarche was 12.3 years old, ranged from age at 10 as earlist the age at 15 as latest. 2. Variables associated with age at menarche. 1) There was tendency those student who belong to upper class economic status have had menarche earlier than those student who belong to lower class. Therefore, economic status is closely related to age at menarche. 2) In time of mother's education level, it is also found that those students whose mother's education levels from high school and college are experienced menarche earlier than those students whose mother's education levels from primary school and no-education. 3) However, in connection with home discipline, there was no significant relationship between age at menarche and home disciplines which are being treated "Rigid", "Moderated ", "Indifferent". 4) Degree of communication between parents and daughter about sex matters was found to be associated each others in determination of age at menarche. 5) It was found that high association between mother's menarche age and their daughter's menarche age was observed. Mother's age at menarche earlier trend to be shown also as earlier of their daughters. 6) Those students belong to "D & E" of physical substantiality index are trend to be earlier in menarche than those students in the index "A & B". 3.

  • 본 연구에서는 초등학교 양치교실사업의 효과를 평가하고 추후 효과적인 사업 운영을 위한 개선방안 마련의 기초자료로 활용하고자, 2011년에 양치교실을 설치하여 운영 중인 강릉시 P초등학교 학생을 대상으로 양치교실 설치 후 구강건강행태 및 구강증상경험 수준의 변화를 확인하였다. 1. 모든 군에서 칫솔질 및 식습관에 대한 구강건강지식 문항의 정답률과 구강건강에 대한 바른 인식률은 낮은 수준이었고, 실험군 저학년의 자신의 구강건강수준을 매우 건강 또는 건강하다고 생각하는 비율은 양치교실 설치 직후 35.7%에서 6개월 후 48.9%로 증가하였다(p=0.031). 2. 학교에서 점심식사 후 매일 칫솔질 실천율은 실험군 저학년에서는 1차 조사 시 53.5%에서 6개월 후 2차 조사 시 35.5%로 18.0% 감소하였고, 6개월 후 3차 조사 시에는 비슷한 수준(35.4%)으로 유지되었으며(p<0.001), 고학년에서는 2차 조사(42.1%)에 비해 3차 조사(35.1%) 시 소폭 감소하였다(p<0.001). 대조군의 매일 칫솔질 실천율은 실험군 3차조사 결과와 비교하였을 때 저학년 28.6%, 고학년 6.0%로 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p=0.007, p<0.001). 3. 실험군과 대조군에서 점심식사 후 매일 칫솔질하지 않는 이유로 이 닦는 것을 깜빡 잊어버렸기 때문으로 응답한 비율이 가장 높게 나타났다. 4. 구강증상경험률은 실험군 고학년의 치통경험을 제외한 모든 증상에서 1차 조사에 비해 6개월 후 2차 조사 시 경험률이 소폭 감소하였으나 통계적으로 유의하지 않았고, 고학년의 입냄새 경험률은 2차 조사 시 실험군 14.7%에 비해 대조군 25.3%로 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(p=0.016). 5. 실험군에서 양치교실을 이용할 때 대부분 보건 선생님이 지도해 주는 것으로 나타났고, 양치교실 이용 시 불편한 점으로 양치교실의 위치가 멀리 떨어져 있는 것과 양치교실이 좁아서 복잡하거나 혼잡하다고 응답하였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 양치교실 설치사업을 통한 환경 개선의 효과를 지속적으로 유지하기 위해서는 학생의 적극적인 참여, 선생님의 관리감독 강화, 지역사회 협력체계 구축 등을 통한 지속적인 모니터링이 이루어져야 하며, 구강보건교육 및 양치교실 설치사업이 다양한 건강증진전략과 통합하여 운영될 때 지역사회 아동 청소년 건강증진을 위한 통합건강증진사업으로도 확대될 수 있을 것으로 기대할 수 있겠다.
