본 연구는 장기요양보험 인정자로 판정받은 노인들의 삶의 질 수준을 알아보고, 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 관련요인들을 규명해 보고자 시도하였다. 조사대상은 65세 이상 노인 중 2008년 7월부터 실시된 노인장기요양보험제도에 의해 장기요양인정자로 판정받은 노인 958명(1등급 305명, 2등급 323명, 3등급 330명)으로 하였으며, 조사는 2009년 3월 1일부터 5월 31일까지의 기간 동안에 표준화된 무기명식 면접조사용 설문지를 사용하여 면접조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 전체 조사대상자의 삶의 질 평균점수는 $55.4{\pm}15.62$점이었으며, 장기요양등급별로는 1등급이 $49.7{\pm}14.17$점, 2등급이 $56.8{\pm}14.62$점, 3등급이 $59.4{\pm}16.36$점으로 등급이 높을수록 삶의 질 점수는 유의하게 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 노인들의 장기요양등급별 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 변수를 알아보기 위해 다중 회귀분석을 실시 한 결과에서는 교육정도, 월수입, 주관적 건강상태, 우울 및 인지기능장애가 1, 2, 3등급에서 공통으로 유의하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 45~62%로 비교적 높은 설명력을 보였다.

There has been a rapid industrial progress in Korea since 1962 by the success of 5-year economic development plan, and the number of industrial work has also made a rapid increase. Consequently, the management of the occupational health for the purpose of promoting the health of industrial workers and improving the working environment is badly needed in these days. Health services on industrial noisy environment have been provided only for noise-induced hearing loss management until now. But gradually, modem diseases and death have come to be related to the stress and mental health, therefore noise-induced mental disorder, like a stress became very important. Thus, this study has been carried out to analyze the relationship between workers' stress symptoms and the perceived working environment and the perceived working conditions. This study included 786 industrial workers selected from II factories in Buchun. The results were as follows: 1. For demographic characteristics, most of the workers were males(75.7%), the 20～29 years old were 33.8% and those who graduated from high school were 56.1%. The workers whose monthly income ranged from 700,000 to 1,500,000 won were 37.9% and who has a religion were 49.0%. 2. For occupational characteristics, workers who had worked 5～10 years in the factories were 35.8%. Those who felt much for them workload were 42.7% and who worked more than 8 hours a day were 73.7%. Those who were dissatisfied with their pay and job were 51.1 % and 31.2%. The workers who responded ventilation condition of their worksites were bad were 50.4% and the dissatisfied with working environment of their worksites were 43.8%. 3. For the noise exposure level in worksite, workers who were exposed to 70∼90㏈ were 37.4%, 90∼100㏈ were 25.2% and 50∼70㏈ were 18.8%. 4. Workers∼ stress symptoms were significantly related to marital status and their monthly income(P〈0.05). Workers who were single and had lower monthly income showed higher PSI(Psychiatric Symptom Index) scores than those who were married and had higher monthly income. Higher PSI scores were also significantly related to the night-work, workload, dissatisfaction with their job, and bad relationship with their bosses or co-workers. 5. The higher noise exposure level in worksite from 80㏈ was, the more severe stress symptoms including PSI subparts were reported; Anxiety, Anger, Depression, and Cognitive disorder symptom(P〈0.001). 6. According to the results of stepwise multiple regression analysis, factors affecting workers' PSI scores were noise exposure level in worksite(R2=0.150), relationship with coworkers, amount of workload, monthly income and relationship with bosses orderly and the total R2 of this 6 factors was 29.7%.

AIDS attitudes showed significant differences by age, marital status, religion and workplace and preventive infection behaviors, by age, position, duration of clinical experience. Significant correlations were not observed among the knowledge, attitude and preventive infection behaviors regarding AIDS.

Methods: Participants were 119 nurses working in hospitals with no guardians. The questionnaire contained 488 items: general characteristics, performance, importance, knowledge of nursing tasks, job stress and job satisfaction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficients with SPSS/WIN 21.0. Results: Most frequently performed nursing tasks were patient nursing management and information management. Nursing tasks perceived as most important were medication and transfusion and nursing tasks with the highest knowledge were also medication and transfusion. Nursing task (subcategory) most frequently performed was oral medication. Nursing task (subcategory) perceived as most important was mental status observation and nursing task (subcategory) with the highest knowledge was vital sign check. Nurses' job stress was significantly associated with job satisfaction. The mean scores for nurses' job stress and job satisfaction were low. Conclusion: The results indicate that nurses working in hospitals with no guardians perform daily living assistance services more often than previously, and nurses need to be prepared to do these tasks.

Background: Cancer affects patients in many ways including physical, social, emotional, psychological and economic and restricts the functional lives. Psychiatric problems seen among cancer patients may increase the suicide probability and patients perceive suicide as a peaceful death type. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between functional life and suicide probability among cancer patients. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted with 105 cancer patients as descriptive. The Functional Living Index_Cancer (FLIC)," suicide probability scale" (SPS) and personal information form were used as data collecting tools. Data were evaluated by descriptive analysis, and Pearson's correlation. Results: It was determined that 34.3% of patients thought of suicide. Significant negative correlation was found between functional life and suicide probability (r=-.641, p=0.000), increase being evident in those with poor functional life. Conclusions: It is recommended that cancer patients should be supported for improving their functional lives with help in coping processes for illness and treatment symptoms. Evaluation of the patient mental status to prevent the suicide among this group is an important role for nurses.

Purpose: The study was conducted to examine the effects of motivational interviewing intervention on exercise performance and maintenance, exercise and pain self-efficacy, functional status, and quality of life in the patients with total knee replacement. Methods: This study used a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design. A total of 100 patients with total knee replacement (33 patients in motivational interviewing group (MG), 33 patients in exercise group (EG), 34 patients in comparison group (CG)) were participated in this study. MG and EG had 7 scheduled sessions for 4 weeks. Data were analyzed with repeated measures ANOVAs by using IBM SPSS Statistics 20. Results: MG showed better exercise maintenance, higher exercise and pain self-efficacy, higher muscle strength, and mental component of quality of life than the other groups. MG and EG showed better knee flexion, less knee extension, longer walking distance for 6 minutes, and better functioning than CG. Conclusion: The results showed that motivational interviewing intervention is an effective intervention for elderly patients with total knee replacement. Future study examining long term effects of motivation interviewing intervention is necessary.

This study examines the relationships between stress and eating habits of adolescents based on the assumption that adolescents require large amounts of nutrients and that eating habits affect their physical development, academic achievement, and emotional development. For this purpose, 213 adolescents in Gangwondo, Korea, were surveyed. Many studies have reported that stress causes changes in eating habits and affects health status. Based on the dietary action guide scores according to stress categories, eating instant foods less was significant (p<0.001), eating fast foods less was significant (p<0.05), and have soft drinks less was significant (p<0.001). The results suggest the importance of balanced nutrition based on the formation of right dietary habits for adolescents. Good nutrition can be determined through right knowledge of nutrition and dietary habits, and right dietary habits can improve health and physical development as well as mental and emotional stability. The analysis did not compare other regions, and therefore any generalization of the results should be made with caution. However, the results offer important insights into stress among adolescents for their effective counseling.
