  • This study was performed to investigate the soldiers' preference for meals provided and their satisfaction with military food service. The average daily calorific intake was 3,976 kcal, representing an extra 467 kcal over the 3,500 kcal state as the minimum daily kcal needed for each soldier based on the manual of the Korea Ministry of Defence. The soldiers preferred Korean food to Western food. The soldiers' overall satisfaction was researched in 7 areas such as quality and hygiene. They were pleased with two facts: holiday food is provided occasionally and the food is served quickly. However, they were dissatisfied with two issues: the poor nutritional information of the food, and the low frequency of special meals. The variety of choice needs to be improved and the cooks need to be better trained. When providers plan the food time table, a sensational menu needs to be considered to satisfy the soldiers' taste. To improve the quality of military meal food, new systems aye necessary such as food schedule, nutritional goal and different systems with independent food providing for the company's involvement.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine levels of pain, depression, and adjustment to military life in soldier who experienced low back pain, in order to produce fundamental data for the development of health improvement programs to prevent and manage low back pain in soldiers with low back pain. Methods: Subjects of this study consisted of 317 soldiers who had low back pain. Study instruments were Visual analog scale (VAS), the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), and adjustment to military life scale. Collected data were analyzed by the SPSS Win 14.0 program. Results: Mean score of pain was 4.16 points, depression was 8.58 points, and adjustment to military life was 69.15 points. The level of pain was negatively related to adjustment to military life (r=-.241, p<.001) and positively related to depression (r=.262, p<.001). There was a negative relationship between depression and adjustment to military life (r=-.442, p<.001). Conclusion: Soldiers who had low back pain experienced higher levels of pain and depression and lower level of adjustment to military life. Therefore, further study is needed to develop and examine a nursing intervention to manage low back pain for them.

  • In South Korea, the north border area has been under vivax malaria epidemic since 1993. However, Jeollabuk-do, which is about 300 kms from the border, has not experienced the same epidemic. 1 investigated a total of 58 notified cases of malaria in Jeollabuk-do in the year 2000. All of the cases had an exposure history in the epidemic area. Among them were 49 ex-soldiers, 3 soldiers who served near the border area and 6 civilians who traveled there. The causal agent of all cases was Plasmodium vivax. Except the civilians, the soldiers and ex-soldiers were aged in their twenty's. In the present study, the incubation period was from 6 to 520 days with a median of 157 days, and the latent onset type (92%) was more prevalent than the early onset type. illness onset of most cases (86%) peaked during the summer season (June to September) despite of variable incubation periods. The time lag for diagnosis ranged from 2 to 42 days with a median of 11 days. Jeollabuk-do has not been an area of epidemic untill now, but incidences have been increasing annually since 1996. In Jeollabuk-do, early diagnosis and treatment can be a feasible disease control measure to prevent spreading from the epidemic area.

  • Smoking can be a significant cause of lung diseases and reduced respiratory functions. Among soldiers, smoking may have a negative impact on their health (physical strength) and well being. Information on differences in the respiratory functions of smokers and nonsmokers in the military services and the effects of the smoking duration and amount (i.e., the number of cigarettes smoked per day) would be useful. This study investigated smoking durations and smoking amounts among young male soldiers (N = 61). The forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1), and forced expiratory volume in 1 sec/forced vital capacities (FEV1/FEC) were measured FVC, FEV1, or FEV1/FEC of smokers and nonsmokers were not significantly different, and FVC and FEV1 were inversely proportional to smoking duration. Besides, the number of cigarettes smoked per day was not correlated with respiratory functions. These findings may be attributed to the effect of the strenuous physical activity (e.g., military drills) undertaken by soldiers on their respiratory functions. Despite the lack of evidence for a difference in the respiratory functions of smokers and nonsmokers, this study recommends ongoing respiratory function management through smoking cessation programs and respiratory physiotherapy to manage the respiratory functions of Korean smoking soldiers.

  • A survey was undertaken to evaluate the present status of intestinal infection in army soldiers. Stool specimen of 417 soldiers fixed by SAF solution were collected from a camp located in area of Nakdong river during the period from August to October of 1990. And these stool samples were examined by formalin-ether sedimentation technique once for helminths and protozoan cysts stained with Lugol's iodine solution. The results obtained in this survey were summarized as follows : l) The overall positive rate of intestinal parasite was 18.0%. 2) The egg positive rate of intestinal helminth was 15.1%, : and 11.5% for Clonorchis sinensis. 5.0% for Metagonimus vokogawai, 1.2% for Ascaris lumbricoides 1.7% for Trichiuris trichiura. 0.2% for Taenia sp. 3) The cyst positive rate of intestinal protozoa was 4.1% ; and 1.4% for Entamoeba coli, 1.9% for Giardia lamblia 0.7% for Entamoeba histolytica, 0.5% for Endolimax nana. 4) Most of samples were positive(85.3%) by single species. 10.7% by two species, 2.7% by three species and 1.3% by four species. 5) Infection rate of intestinal parasites among army soldiers decreased distinctly compared with previous data but it is revealed that the infection rate of Clonorchis sinensis among army soldiers in area of Nakdong river is still high in comparison with ever-reported data. 6) SAF fixatives used in this field survey during summertime was useful to conserve protozoan cyst and helminths ova. Also we could examine stool samples directly by formalin-ether sedimentation technique.

  • 해병대는 1949년 4월 15일에 진해 덕산 비행장에서 창설되었다. 6.25전쟁과 월남 전쟁에서 싸우면 반드시 이겨 국민들로부터 사랑과 신뢰를 받았다. 강한 전투력은 선진병영문화가 조성 될 때 가능한 것이다. 오늘날 신세대 장병들은 자기중심적이고 개인주의적 성향이 강하다. 해병대 간부들은 신세대 장병들의 특성을 잘 이해하고 그들의 특성을 살릴 수 있도록 창의적인 리더십 개발에 노력해 할 것이다. 또한 4 해병대 간부들은 차 산업혁명과 더불어 첨단 과학기술이 발달함에 따라 간부들의 전문적 전술지식습득과 자기개발을 위해 부단히 힘써야 할 것이다. 따라서 해병대 간부들은 신세대 장병들의 특성을 이해하여 리더십을 발휘함으로써 국민에게 신뢰받는 강군이 되도록 최선의 노력을 해야 할 것이다.

  • 우리나라는 출산율 감소로 인한 인구 절벽 현상으로 병역자원이 계속 줄어들고 있다. 군 병력의 감소에도 불구하고 장병들의 정신건강 악화로 인해 발생하는 사고는 오히려 증가하고 있다. 장병들의 정신건강은 개인의 문제이기도 하지만, 부대에도 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 개인의 정신건강 악화로 인해 자살, 이혼, 군무이탈 등의 사고는 부대의 전투력 발휘 제한과 사기 저하로 이어지기 때문이다. 현재 국내·외 학계에서는 웨어러블 기기를 이용한 정신건강 관리 방안이 연구되고 있다. 우리 군 역시 이를 활용하여 장병의 정신건강 상태를 객관적으로 측정하고, 축적된 빅데이터를 활용하여 다양한 상황을 예측, 조치할 수 있는 장병 정신건강 관리의 보조도구로 활용할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 웨어러블 기기를 활용한 군 장병의 정신건강 관리 방안을 제안하고 후속 연구가 원활하게 이루어져 우리 장병들의 정신건강이 향상되길 기대한다.
