Children from low income families are vulnerable to physical problems including obesity, asthma, hypertension and psychological problems including depression, anxiety. This study was done to identify trends in welfare policy for children from low-income families and future direction for solving health disparity problems. Dream Start is a government-sponsored project that offers services for vulnerable children, ages 0 (include pregnant woman) to 12 years and their families. The Korean Government has made an effort to alleviate health disparity through the 'Health Plan' by establishing health objectives. However, in spite of these efforts by the Korean government, health disparity has worsened in Korea. In order to strengthen family function as well as promote growth and development for vulnerable children, experts in child care need to be significantly involved in identifying neglected children in the community.

유전 위험 사정과 상담서비스가 임상실무에 널리 적용되어 감에 따라, 다양한 비용효율 면에서 다양한 상담서비스 모델을 사정하고, 대상자의 임상 요구와 건강문제를 해결하는데 어떤 모델이 유용한 지 확인할 필요가 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 114건의 현장 관찰과 문헌고찰을 통하여 3가지 유전상담 모형을 분석하였다. 유전의학 전문가 모델, 유전상담사 모델, 임상연구전문가 모델을 중심으로 각 모델의 구조, 전문가의 역할 및 기능, 목표, 물리적 세팅, 교육도구 등을 분석하였다. 각 모형 안에서 환자에게 기대되는 결과 면에서 질적 서비스가 보장되는지 확인하기 위하여 이론적 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 각 모형의 상담 전, 중, 후 환자 만족, 지식 변화, 상담 효과 및 커뮤니케이션 효과 등을 분석하였지만, 결론적으로 상담서비스가 이루어지고 있는 기관의 구조를 충분히 고려하지 않은 상태에서 최상의 서비스 모델을 제시하기 어려울 것임을 논의하였다.

We report an evaluation of the immunostimulatory effect of propolis volatiles from a stingless honeybee. We studied 34 elderly residents at a special nursing home. Twenty-one subjects were treated with propolis, 8 with $Binch\hat{o}$ charcoal and 5 subjects acted as controls. Subjects treated with either propolis or Bincho charcoal were housed in rooms separated from the other non-study residents in the nursing home. The effects of each treatment on natural killer (NK) cell activity and lymphocyte levels were examined after 2 months and then for a longer period. The results indicated that NK cell activity was significantly improved to that within the normal range only after propolis treatment.

Purpose: Falls are a common cause of unintentional injuries in infants. This study was conducted to examine the patterns of healthcare utilization following infant falls in South Korea. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study utilized an online survey designed to gather information regarding the general characteristics of parents and infants, fall-related variables, and healthcare use. Results: The most serious falls identified by parents occurred at an average infant age of 6.97 months. Most fall incidents took place indoors (95.7%), and many occurred under the supervision of caregivers (68.0%). Following the fall, 36.4% of the participants used healthcare services. Logistic regression analysis revealed that healthcare use following an infant fall was significantly associated with being a firstborn child (odds ratio [OR]=5.32, 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.19-15.28) and falling from a caregiver's arms (OR=4.22; 95% CI, 1.45-13.68). Conclusion: To prevent and decrease the frequency of infant falls, improvements are needed in both the domestic environment and parenting approaches.

The purpose of this study was to identify services and programs that will be needed for helping senior residents to be aging healthfully and comfortably in the university-based retirement community (UBRC). This study conducted a questionnaire survey targeting about 900 faculty and staff members in one of national universities. A total of 214 valid responses were analyzed for identifying necessary services and programs. The study also analyzed the differences in resident's opinions depending on their intention to live in the UBRC. Over 65% of the respondents were willing to live in the UBRC. The most desirable services were healthcare services including emergency care and nursing care and cleaning and laundry services. Regarding the educational and recreational programs, future residents chose physical exercises such as swimming and tennis and music activities such as playing instruments and singing as the most interesting programs they want to experience in UBRC. Most of the respondents were interested in mentoring college students or international students who come to the university for their degrees. The findings from the study should provide a guideline when offering services, programs, and activities in the future UBRC in Korea.
