  • Chicken carcass microflora were evaluated for aerobic microorganisms after defeathering, evisceration, washing, chilling, and sanitizing during a commercial chicken processing and storage at wholesale and retailsale levels. Sampling was at between December 1997, and March, 1998. Tap water washing and sanitizing with 25 ppm chlorine for 10 sec significantly (P<0.05) reduced aerobic plate counts (APC) and gram-negative bacterial counts (GNC) on chicken carcasses from a commercial chicken-processing plant. After 4 days at $2{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, APC and GNC on chicken carcasses in retailsale store rapidly increased compared to those in wholesale store (P<0.05). Chicken wings from retailsale store significantly (P<0.05) decreased generation time (GT) compared to other chicken carcasses.

  • This study was conducted to identify the level of cultural empathy, self-esteem, and cultural competence and factors affecting cultural competence of nursing students. Participants were 157 nursing students who were 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade in one university located at the Chungbuk provinces. Data collected using questionnaires which consisted of general characteristics, cultural empathy, self-esteem, and cultural competence. The mean score for cultural empathy was $3.63{\pm}.34$(scores ranged from 1 to 5), The mean score for self-esteem was $2.91{\pm}.42$(scores ranged from 1 to 4). The mean score for cultural competence was $3.31{\pm}.43$(scores ranged from 1 to 5). There were significant differences between cultural competence and age(t=-2.242, p=.027), grade(F=3.473, p=.033), and fluency of foreign language(F=5.053, p=.007). There were significant correlation between cultural competence and cultural empathy(r=.49, p<.001), and self-esteem(r=.33, p<.001)), and self-esteem and cultural empathy(r=.33, p<.001). Cultural empathy and self-esteem explained 29.4% of cultural competence and major predictor variable for cultural competence was cultural empathy. In this paper, we propose various multicultural education programs in curriculum and extra curriculum that can enhance cultural empathy and self-esteem to improve cultural competence of nursing students. Especially, continuous education of cultural knowledge among cultural competence will be done.

  • Purpose: This descriptive research study aimed to identify and strengthen the knowledge, attitudes, and performances related to first aid for patients with oral and maxillofacial trauma among 119 EMTs working at 119 safety centers and local stations in Jeollanam-do, South Korea. Methods: An online questionnaire was distributed among 144 119 EMTs working at fire stations in Jeollanam-do from August 1 to August 15, 2022. Results: The factors that influenced the knowledge of oral and maxillofacial trauma among the 119 EMTs included qualification (β=.113, p=.005) and performance (β=.837, p=.005), and those influential to attitudes were qualification (β=0.194, p=.005), ordinary interest (β=0.242, p=.005), and the need for education (β=.285, p=.005). The only factor that influenced the performance of first aid for patients with oral and maxillofacial trauma was knowledge (β=.900, p=.005). Conclusion: Considering the nature of first aid for patients with oral and maxillofacial trauma, it is necessary to organize practical knowledge and educational content tailored to the characteristics of each task. This should be simultaneously conducted with practice-oriented simulation education.

  • Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the success rates of the manual and motor-driven mini-screw insertion methods according to age, gender, length of mini-screws, and insertion sites. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 429 orthodontic mini-screw placements in 286 patients (102 in men and 327 in women) between 2005 and 2010 at private practice. Age, gender, mini-screw length, and insertion site were cross-tabulated against the insertion methods. The Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test was performed to compare the success rates of the 2 insertion methods. Results: The motor-driven method was used for 228 mini-screws and the manual method for the remaining 201 mini-screws. The success rates were similar in both men and women irrespective of the insertion method used. With respect to mini-screw length, no difference in success rates was found between motor and hand drivers for the 6-mm-long mini-screws (68.1% and 69.5% with the engine driver and hand driver, respectively). However, the 8-mmlong mini-screws exhibited significantly higher success rates (90.4%, p < 0.01) than did the 6-mm-long mini-screws when placed with the engine driver. The overall success rate was also significantly higher in the maxilla (p < 0.05) when the engine driver was used. Success rates were similar among all age groups regardless of the insertion method used. Conclusions: Taken together, the motor-driven insertion method can be helpful to get a higher success rate of orthodontic mini-screw placement.

  • Objective: To test the null hypothesis that no difference exists between the effects of at-home bleaching and in-office bleaching on shear bond strength (SBS) with bracket bonding at 4 different time intervals after dental bleaching. Methods: Ninety extracted human premolars were randomly divided into 9 groups (n = 10) according to the bleaching methods used (at-home bleaching and in-office bleaching) and the storage time in artificial saliva (30 min, 1 day, 2 weeks, and 3 weeks before bonding). The control group was stored in artificial saliva for 7 days. Brackets were bonded with the Transbond XT adhesive system, and SBS testing was performed. The adhesive remnant index (ARI) was used to assess the amount of resin remaining on the enamel surfaces after debonding. The SBS data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey test. For the ARI, the Kruskal-Wallis test was performed. Significance for all statistical tests was predetermined to be p < 0.05. Results: The SBS of the unbleached group was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than that of the bleached groups (except for the group bonded 30 min after at-home bleaching). Conclusions: The null hypothesis was not totally rejected. All bleaching groups tested had decreased SBS of the brackets to the enamel, except for the group bonded 30 min after at-home bleaching. The SBS returned to values close to those of the unbleached enamel within 3 weeks following bleaching.

  • Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are chemicals present in the environment that interfere with the normal hormone functions of various organisms and cause genetopathy, deformities, or cancer. This study surveyed the awareness of EDCs with 242 cooking staff at 242 meal service facilities for children located in a part of Gyeonggi Province. To minimize infants' exposure to EDCs, the subjects were provided with information on EDCs for two months. The behavior of reducing exposure to EDCs was analyzed according to the awareness of EDCs and work ethics. In addition, the effects before and after being provided with the information were evaluated. According to the results, the levels of awareness of EDCs and work ethics' scores of the cooking staff were high with 3.95 and 4.39 points, respectively, out of five points. In addition, a higher awareness of EDCs and a higher work ethics' score were associated with an improved behavior of reducing exposure to EDCs (P<0.05). The overall cooking and cleaning behavior for reducing exposure to EDCs showed improvement after providing information (P<0.01). Therefore, these results suggest that it is important to provide continuous education to enhance the awareness of EDCs, work ethics, and behavior to reduce exposure to EDCs.

  • Background/Aims: Helicobacter pylori eradication rates using first-line treatment have decreased due to clarithromycin resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate optimal eradication regimens for patients with clarithromycin resistance in Korea. Materials and Methods: A total of 72 patients with confirmed clarithromycin resistance were enrolled from August 2015 to July 2017. Patients were randomized to a 7-day bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) regimen or a 7-day metronidazole triple therapy (MTT) regimen. Eradication was confirmed using the $^{13}C$-urea breath test. Results: There were no differences in baseline characteristics between the groups. Intention-to-treat eradication rates were 77.8% for the BQT group and 66.7% for the MTT group (P=0.293). Per protocol eradication rates were 87.5% for the BQT group and 77.4% for the MTT group (P=0.292). Adverse events were more frequent in the BQT group. Conclusions: Eradication rates using MTT were comparable to those using BQT, and adverse events were less frequent in the MTT group. Thus, MTT may be considered as a first-line regimen for patients with clarithromycin resistance. Since this was a pilot study, a study with a large group is required.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with physical activity in older adults living alone. Methods: This is cross-sectional, correlational study used secondary data from the 2019 Community Health Survey. The participants were 19,134 older adults aged 65 years or older and living alone. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the 𝜒2 test, and linear regression with the SPSS/WIN 27.0 program. Results: The participants' average amount of physical activity was 1,359.32 MET-min/week; 50.7% were inactive, 38.6% were minimally active, and 10.7% were health-promoting active. Demographic factors that predicted physical activity were gender, age, education level and monthly income, whereas health behavior factors included subjective health status and high risk drinking (R2=.055, p<.001). Psychological factors were sleeping time, stress, depression and fear of falling, and social factors included social contact with neighbors or friends, and participation in social or leisure activites(R2=.070, p<.001). Conclusion: It is important to determine the level of physical activity in older adults living alone. Demographic characteristics, health behaviors, psychological factors, and social factors should be considered in the development of specific and integrated nursing interventions to increase physical activity in older adults.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of parenting stress and role conflict on turnover intention in hospital nurses. This study was 142 nurses working in university hospitals and two general hospitals. The analysis of the collected data was analyzed by using SPSS / WIN 23.0. The average score were parenting stress 2.50 out of 4, role conflict 2.48 out of 5, and turnover intention 2.71 out of 5. In order to analyze the factors affecting the turnover intention, multiple regression analysis was conducted using the role conflict, parenting stress, and job satisfaction. Parenting stress (β= .257 p<.001), job satisfaction (β= .242, p<.001) and role conflict(β=.161 p<.001) were resulted. The explanatory power of these factors Was 45.6%. In conclusion, the turnover intention of hospital nurses was found to be an important factor of parenting stress, role conflict, and job satisfaction. In order to lower the parenting stress and role conflicts and reduce the turnover intention of married nurses, it is necessary to reduce the parenting stress and role conflict in the hospital and home. To improving the job satisfaction of the nurses, it is necessary to improve the workplace environment and welfare.
