4차 산업혁명시대가 현대사회에 도래함에 따라 시대변화에 능동적으로 대처하고, 현재의 삶의 위기를 극복하기 위하여 직업전환을 꾀하거나 자기개발 및 노후 준비를 위한 성인학습자들의 창업에 대한 관심이 계속해서 증대되고 있다. 정부와 대학 등 여러 기관에서는 창업에 관심이 많아진 성인학습자들을 위하여 창업을 적극적으로 장려하는 정책을 추진하고 있다. 그러나, 제2차 대학 창업교육 5개년 계획(안)에 따르면 실습형 강좌보다 이론 중심의 창업교육이 대부분이며, 창업 이후의 고도화 교육지원 역량이 부족한 상황(교육부, 2018)이다. 성인학습자에게 창업교육 및 창업 환경 조성이 미흡하다는 문제점이 대두되어 창업교육이 성인학습자의 창업의지와 창업행동에 미치는 영향 관계에서 자기효능감의 효과를 실증적으로 규명하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 연구대상은 성인학습자를 대상으로 2022년 9월부터 10월까지 온라인 설문조사를 실시였고, 총 207부가 수집되었다. 척도의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위하여 크론바흐 알파계수(Cronbach's α)를 산출하여 분석하고 측정하였다. 가설검증은 다중회귀분석 통계분석 방법을 사용하였고 SPSS 22.0 통계처리 프로그램을 이용하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 자기효능감은 창업교육에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 창업교육은 성인학습자의 창업의지에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 창업교육은 성인학습자의 창업행동에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 자기효능감은 성인학습자의 창업의지에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 자기효능감은 성인학습자의 창업행동에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 여섯째, 창업교육과 성인학습자의 창업의지 간의 관계에서 자기효능감은 매개 효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 일곱째, 창업교육과 성인학습자의 창업행동 간의 관계에서 자기효능감은 완전매개 효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 성인학습자들의 특성을 고려하여 다양한 교육방식 등을 적용하는 것이 필요함을 확인하였고 따라서 성인학습자들에게 본인들의 현장경험을 기반한 국내·외 창업 사례나 벤처기업 등의 경영관리의 전반적인 내용에 대해 실무적으로 학습하는 프로그램 또는 성인학습자들이 직접 창업을 구성하고 구상한 내용에 맞는 사업계획서를 작성하여 그 내용을 발표하고 토의하는 방식 등의 전문적인 창업교육을 위하여 지속적 개발이 필요하다는 시사점을 도출하였다. 또한, 창업교육을 통해 성인학습자들이 실제로 창업행동을 할 수 있도록 창업의지를 제고시키고 자기효능감을 심어주어 그들의 자기개발 또는 제2의 삶을 설계 할 수 있도록 지원체계를 만들어야 할 것이다.
수분매개자란 식물의 수분 과정을 이뤄내는 생물체를 말하며 대표적으로 벌목, 나비목, 파리목, 딱정벌레목 등이 있다. 그중 꿀벌은 수분 과정뿐만 아니라 토지이용 변화에 의해 훼손된 도시 녹지를 개선하여 도시 내 존재하는 조류 및 곤충에게 서식처와 먹이를 제공한다. 하지만 오늘날 기후변화로 인한 조기 개화율 상승, 도시화로 인한 녹지 파편화, 농약사용과 같은 문제로 인해 수분 가능한 식물의 수가 감소하고 있으며, 이는 곧 꿀벌의 개체수가 감소하는 문제로까지 이어지고 있다. 꿀벌 개체수의 감소는 곧 도시 내 생물다양성 감소, 식량 생산량 감소 같은 문제들로 직결되며, 오늘날 꿀벌 개체수가 감소하는 문제를 해결하기 위한 전략으로 도시 양봉이 제시되고 있다. 하지만 꿀벌의 먹이 활동 및 수분활동, 도시 양봉으로 구성된 사회생태시스템의 구조를 복합적으로 고려하지 못한 상태로 도시 양봉 전략이 제시되어 지속 가능하게 이루어지지 못한다는 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수분 매개자인 꿀벌의 사회생태시스템을 시스템 사고를 활용하여 구조적으로 분석하고 도시 양봉의 활성화를 위한 녹지계획 전략을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과로 첫째, 인과순환지도 작성을 위해 도시 내 꿀벌의 사회 및 생태시스템을 중심으로 선행연구를 고찰 및 수집하여 시스템 영역을 설정하고 주요 변수를 도출했다. 둘째, 개별인과순환 지도를 작성하여 꿀벌의 먹이활동과 수분활동에 대한 생태적 구조, 꿀벌의 생태 시스템이 도시에 미치는 영향 구조, 도시 양봉의 사회생태시스템 구조를 분석했다. 마지막으로 통합인과순환지도 작성을 통해 꿀벌의 사회생태시스템 구조를 전체적인 관점에서 분석하고 도시 양봉의 활성화를 위해 도시 내 유휴공간을 활용할 수 있는 시민참여 프로그램 도입, 지자체 투자, 유휴공간의 도시공원 및 녹지조성 등을 녹지 계획 전략으로 제시하고자하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 시스템 사고를 활용한 꿀벌의 생태적 구조와 도시 양봉 도입에 대한 사회적 구조를 전체적인 관점으로 파악하여 전략을 제시했다는 점에서 선행연구와 차별점이 존재하며, 지속 가능한 도시 양봉을 도입하기 위한 정책적 제언 및 시사점을 제시하였다.
국내 스타트업 생태계는 디지털 전환 가속화에 따른 창업의 패러다임 변화, 온라인 플랫폼 기업이 유니콘으로 크게 성장했지만, 딥테크 스타트업에 대한 차별화된 접근과 전략지원이 부재해 창업생태계의 활동성이 부족하다. 이에 이 연구에서는 해외 선진 사례(미국)를 기초로 국내 스타트업 육성 정책의 발전 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 연구에서 딥테크 스타트업의 정의 및 특징, 투자 현황, 성공 사례, 지원 정책등을 국내외 문헌에서 종합적으로 분석하고 시사점을 도출하였다. 특히, 국내 딥테크 스타트업의 지원 정책의 개선 방안을 구체적으로 도출해 발전을 위한 이정표를 제시하였다. 현재 미국은 딥테크 스타트업 지원을 위해 정부의 역할을 크게 강화하고 있다. 미국 정부는 딥테크 스타트업에 대한 직접적인 재정지원, 세제지원, 인프라 지원 등을 제공하고 있다. 또한, 딥테크 스타트업 육성을 위한 정책을 수립하고, 관련 기관을 설립하여 지원을 체계화하고 있다. 주목해야 하는 점은 미국의 대학은 딥테크 스타트업 육성을 위한 핵심적인 역할을 담당하고 있다. 미국에서의 유수 대학은 딥테크 스타트업 발굴 및 육성 프로그램을 운영하고 있으며, 연구개발 인프라와 기술을 제공하고 있다. 또한, 기업과 협력하여 딥테크 스타트업에 대한 공동 투자 및 사업화 지원을 제공하고 있다. 결과적으로 국내 딥테크 스타트업의 성장을 위해서는 정부, 대학, 기업, 민간 투자자 등 다양한 주체의 협력이 필요하다. 정부는 정책적 지원을 강화하고, 대학과 기업은 협력하여 연구개발 역량과 사업화 역량을 지원해야 한다. 또한, 민간 투자자는 딥테크 스타트업에 대한 투자를 활성화해야 한다. 이러한 노력을 통해 딥테크 스타트업이 성장하고, 한국의 혁신 생태계가 활성화될 것으로 기대된다.
운항승무원은 항공기 운항에 필요한 적합한 자격요건을 충족해야 하며 이를 위해서는 항공기 운항에 필요한 자격요건과 항공기간 유사성 등으로 인해 불필요한 자격요건이 무엇인지 확립되어 있어야 한다. 시카고협약은 국제민간항공에 있어서 가장 기본이 되는 국제조약이며 시카고협약 체약국은 시카고협약 부속서에서 정한 '표준 및 권고방식(SARPs)'에 따라 항공법규를 제정하여 운영 중이며, 안전하고 효율적인 기준 수립 및 적용을 위해 지속적으로 노력하고 있다. 본 논문은 운항승무원의 항공기 2개 형식 운항에 대한 ICAO, 한국, FAA, EASA 등의 국내외 기준의 차이점을 인식하고 이를 토대로 한국의 관련 제도를 개선 보완하고자 한다. 운항승무원의 항공기 2개 형식 운항에 대한 국내외 기준을 비교하면서, 한국의 관련 법규가 국제기준 대비 불합리한 측면이 있어 이를 토대로 개선방안을 제시하였다. 기본적으로 항공기 운영자는 기장 또는 부기장이 동일 형식의 비행기로 90일 내에 적어도 3회의 이륙과 착륙을 행한 경험이 없는 기장 또는 부기장을 해당 항공기를 운항하도록 승무시켜서는 아니 된다. 또한 운항승무원은 모든 운항하는 항공기 형식에 대하여 장비 및 절차에 대한 중요 차이점에 익숙해야 한다. 또한 항공기 운영자는 조종사의 조종 기능 및 비상절차 수행능력이 해당 항공기 형식에서 수행능력이 있도록 적합한 방법으로 심사가 수행되어야 한다. 이와 관련해 정기적으로 기량심사가 수행되어야 한다. 한편 항공기 운영자가 운항승무원에게 항공기 간의 유사성을 토대로 서로 다른 항공기 형식을 운항하도록 하는 경우, 항공당국은 각각의 항공기 형식을 운항하기 위한 면제 요건을 설정하여 적용할 수 있다. 결론적으로 운항승무원이 2개 형식의 항공기를 운항하기 위해서는 해당 형식 항공기 운항을 위한 유효한 자격이 있어야 하며, 이를 위해서는 이에 합당한 훈련프로그램을 이수해야 한다. 따라서 특별히 요건이 면제되거나 요구량을 축소하여 적용할 수 있는 법적 근거가 없는 한, 2개 형식 항공기를 운항하기 위해서는 항공기 형식 간의 유사성을 토대로 적용할 수 있는 진보된 훈련 프로그램이 있음에도 불구하고 각각의 항공기 형식에 필요한 모든 운항자격을 충족해야 한다. 항공기 제작사는 표준비행절차 및 안전운항을 위해 새로 항공기를 개발함에 있어서 항공기 시스템에 대하여 기본적인 틀을 유지하면서 기능을 보완 개선하고 있어 항공기 간에 표준화된 적용이 확대되고 있으며 항공기 간의 차이수준은 점차 줄어들고 있다. 또한 다양한 항공 비즈니스 출현 및 레저용 항공시장의 활성화로 운항승무원이 서로 다른 항공기를 번갈아 운항할 필요성이 점차 높아지고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 한국은 운항승무원의 훈련 및 운항자격프로그램과 관련하여 신규도입 항공기에 적용할 항공기 간의 차이수준에 따라 실질적으로 다르게 적용할 수 있는 관련 법규 및 체계가 전무한 상태이며, 2개 형식 이상의 항공기를 운항하기 위한 구체적인 기준은 물론 이와 관련하여 항공안전을 위해 금지하거나 제한하는 기준도 없기 때문에 항공기 운영자의 정책적인 판단에 따를 수밖에 없는 실정이다. 따라서 항공당국은 비행표준평가위원회 제도를 도입하여 비행표준평가를 통해 항공기 간의 차이수준을 분석하고 이를 토대로 운항승무원이 합당한 교육훈련 및 자격요건을 효율적으로 적용할 수 있도록 항공기 간 차이수준별 자격요건체계를 수립하여 적용해야 할 것이다. 이와 관련하여 본 논문에서는 항공기 간의 차이수준 평가 및 2개 형식 이상 항공기 운항에 대한 국내외 항공법규를 고찰하고 합리적인 제도 운영을 위한 몇 가지 개선방안을 제시하였다. 본 논문이 1) 정부, 학계 및 항공사 등 유관부문에서 항공안전증진을 위한 국제 동향을 이해하는데 도움이 되고, 2) 국내 항공법규를 개선하는데 도움을 주고, 3) 아울러, 국제표준 준수 및 항공안전증진에 기여하길 기대한다.
본 연구는 북한 '교육' 연구 활성화를 위한 기독교교육적 발전 방향을 제언하고자 시작되었다. 지난 77년의 분단 시기 동안 남북한은 정치·경제·사회·문화·교육 등 사회의 거의 모든 요소에서 이질화를 경험하고 있기 때문에 진정한 통일의 완성은 남북한의 이질감을 극복할 수 있는 사회적 통합의 기반을 마련하는데 달려있다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 여기에 북한 '교육' 연구의 필요성이 도출된다. 교육은 문화와 역사를 전수할 뿐 아니라 사회의 존속과 변혁 그리고 공동체성을 이끌어내는 기반을 마련하기 때문이다. 포괄적인 북한 '교육' 연구의 방향을 정립하는 것은 통일을 준비해야 하는 한국교회와 기독교교육자들의 사명이라는 측면에서 북한 '교육' 연구의 중요성은 아무리 강조해도 지나칠 수 없다. 이러한 중요성에도 불구하고 기독교교육 영역에서의 '북한 연구'는 북한 지역 복음화를 위한 '북한 선교 연구'의 하위 연구로 치부되어 온 경향이 짙다. 현장에서는 교회에서 활용 할 수 있는 기독교 교육프로그램에 대한 연구가 본격화되고 있지만, 통일 후 사회통합의 기반을 마련하고 통일 국가의 발전을 이끌어 갈 교육적 청사진을 제시하는 거시적 차원에서의 연구 흔적은 찾기가 어렵다. 이에 본 연구는 북한 '교육' 연구 활성화를 위한 기독교교육적 방향을 제언하고자 시작되었다. 연구를 위해 일차적으로 '북한 연구'의 동향과 쟁점을 세대별 구분에 따라 분석하였다. 연구 결과 최근 북한에 대한 연구가 연구 주제와 방법론에 있어 확장되고 있으며, 거시적 차원에서 국가차원의 정책과 체제에 대한 기존 연구 경향에서 벗어나 최근의 연구들은 일상의 차원에서 북한의 모습을 조망하는 미시적 연구로 분화하고 있다는 특징을 발견하였다. 이후 '북한 교육 연구'의 주요한 흐름을 시계열적 흐름에 따라 정리하였다. 1970년대 본격적으로 시작된 북한 교육 연구를 태동기(70년대)-과도기(80년대)-도약기(90년대)-확장기(2000년대)-발전기(2010년 이후)로 나누었고, 각 시기별 연구 특징을 분석하였다. 이를 통해 초기 북한 교육 연구 역시 국가의 정책적 측면에 이루어져 정치·사회적 연구물의 성격이 강했지만 최근 연구들은 그 주제와 내용이 다양해지고 있는 변화의 추이를 확인하였다. 이러한 북한에 대한 연구 및 연구방법론의 주요한 역사적 흐름에 비추어 기독교교육 영역에서의 북한 교육 연구의 현안과 쟁점을 분석하였다. 1980년대 비로소 시작된 기독교교육영역에서의 북한 연구는 대다수의 연구의 방향이 '교회의 통일 교육 프로그램 개발'이라는 공학적 측면에서 이루어지고 있음을 발견할 수 있다. 한편 기독교학교를 비롯한 공교육 현장에서 활용할 수 있는 기독교적 통일 교육과정과 교육방법 개발 및 북한 사회를 복음화 하는데 필요한 북한 교육 자체에 대한 연구 활성화의 필요성을 발견했다. 그럼에도 불구하고 기독교교육 영역에서의 연구도 그 주제와 내용이 다양해지고 있는 것은 긍정적인 변화라 평가할 수 있다. 북한연구와 북한 교육 연구의 동향과 그 쟁점을 바탕으로 한국교회와 기독교교육 영역에서 북한 연구 활성화를 위한 발전방향으로 '탈 이데올로기적 연구 토대 구축', '1차 연구 자료(Raw Data) 확보', '연구 주제 및 연구방법론의 활성화', '연구 역량 강화' 등 4가지 측면에서 구체적으로 제언하였다. 본 연구가 사회통합을 준비할 수 있는 다양한 후속 연구의 마중물이 되어 분단과 통일이라는 험난한 역사의 과제와 마주하고 있는 한국교회를 격려하는 의미 있는 구동력이 되길 기대한다.

Much has teed changed in the field of hospital administration in the It wake of the rapid development of sciences, techniques ana systematic hospital management. However, we still have a long way to go in organization, in the quality of hospital employees and hospital equipment and facilities, and in financial support in order to achieve proper hospital management. The above factors greatly effect the ability of hospitals to fulfill their obligation in patient care and nursing services. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal methods of standardization and quality nursing so as to improve present nursing services through investigations and analyses of various problems concerning nursing administration. This study has been undertaken during the six month period from October 1971 to March 1972. The 41 comprehensive hospitals have been selected iron amongst the 139 in the whole country. These have been categorized according-to the specific purposes of their establishment, such as 7 university hospitals, 18 national or public hospitals, 12 religious hospitals and 4 enterprise ones. The following conclusions have been acquired thus far from information obtained through interviews with nursing directors who are in charge of the nursing administration in each hospital, and further investigations concerning the purposes of establishment, the organization, personnel arrangements, working conditions, practices of service, and budgets of the nursing service department. 1. The nursing administration along with its activities in this country has been uncritical1y adopted from that of the developed countries. It is necessary for us to re-establish a new medical and nursing system which is adequate for our social environments through continuous study and research. 2. The survey shows that the 7 university hospitals were chiefly concerned with education, medical care and research; the 18 national or public hospitals with medical care, public health and charity work; the 2 religious hospitals with medical care, charity and missionary works; and the 4 enterprise hospitals with public health, medical care and charity works. In general, the main purposes of the hospitals were those of charity organizations in the pursuit of medical care, education and public benefits. 3. The survey shows that in general hospital facilities rate 64 per cent and medical care 60 per-cent against a 100 per cent optimum basis in accordance with the medical treatment law and approved criteria for training hospitals. In these respects, university hospitals have achieved the highest standards, followed by religious ones, enterprise ones, and national or public ones in that order. 4. The ages of nursing directors range from 30 to 50. The level of education achieved by most of the directors is that of graduation from a nursing technical high school and a three year nursing junior college; a very few have graduated from college or have taken graduate courses. 5. As for the career tenure of nurses in the hospitals: one-third of the nurses, or 38 per cent, have worked less than one year; those in the category of one year to two represent 24 pet cent. This means that a total of 62 per cent of the career nurses have been practicing their profession for less than two years. Career nurses with over 5 years experience number only 16 per cent: therefore the efficiency of nursing services has been rated very low. 6. As for the standard of education of the nurses: 62 per cent of them have taken a three year course of nursing in junior colleges, and 22 per cent in nursing technical high schools. College graduate nurses come up to only 15 per cent; and those with graduate course only 0.4 per cent. This indicates that most of the nurses are front nursing technical high schools and three year nursing junior colleges. Accordingly, it is advisable that nursing services be divided according to their functions, such as professional, technical nurses and nurse's aides. 7. The survey also shows that the purpose of nursing service administration in the hospitals has been regulated in writing in 74 per cent of the hospitals and not regulated in writing in 26 per cent of the hospitals. The general purposes of nursing are as follows: patient care, assistance in medical care and education. The main purpose of these nursing services is to establish proper operational and personnel management which focus on in-service education. 8. The nursing service departments belong to the medical departments in almost 60 per cent of the hospitals. Even though the nursing service department is formally separated, about 24 per cent of the hospitals regard it as a functional unit in the medical department. Only 5 per cent of the hospitals keep the department as a separate one. To the contrary, approximately 12 per cent of the hospitals have not established a nursing service department at all but surbodinate it to the other department. In this respect, it is required that a new hospital organization be made to acknowledge the independent function of the nursing department. In 76 per cent of the hospitals they have advisory committees under the nursing department, such as a dormitory self·regulating committee, an in-service education committee and a nursing procedure and policy committee. 9. Personnel arrangement and working conditions of nurses 1) The ratio of nurses to patients is as follows: In university hospitals, 1 to 2.9 for hospitalized patients and 1 to 4.0 for out-patients; in religious hospitals, 1 to 2.3 for hospitalized patients and 1 to 5.4 for out-patients. Grouped together this indicates that one nurse covers 2.2 hospitalized patients and 4.3 out-patients on a daily basis. The current medical treatment law stipulates that one nurse should care for 2.5 hospitalized patients or 30.0 out-patients. Therefore the statistics indicate that nursing services are being peformed with an insufficient number of nurses to cover out-patients. The current law concerns the minimum number of nurses and disregards the required number of nurses for operation rooms, recovery rooms, delivery rooms, new-born baby rooms, central supply rooms and emergency rooms. Accordingly, tile medical treatment law has been requested to be amended. 2) The ratio of doctors to nurses: In university hospitals, the ratio is 1 to 1.1; in national of public hospitals, 1 to 0.8; in religious hospitals 1 to 0.5; and in private hospitals 1 to 0.7. The average ratio is 1 to 0.8; generally the ideal ratio is 3 to 1. Since the number of doctors working in hospitals has been recently increasing, the nursing services have consequently teen overloaded, sacrificing the services to the patients. 3) The ratio of nurses to clerical staff is 1 to 0.4. However, the ideal ratio is 5 to 1, that is, 1 to 0.2. This means that clerical personnel far outnumber the nursing staff. 4) The ratio of nurses to nurse's-aides; The average 2.5 to 1 indicates that most of the nursing service are delegated to nurse's-aides owing to the shortage of registered nurses. This is the main cause of the deterioration in the quality of nursing services. It is a real problem in the guest for better nursing services that certain hospitals employ a disproportionate number of nurse's-aides in order to meet financial requirements. 5) As for the working conditions, most of hospitals employ a three-shift day with 8 hours of duty each. However, certain hospitals still use two shifts a day. 6) As for the working environment, most of the hospitals lack welfare and hygienic facilities. 7) The salary basis is the highest in the private university hospitals, with enterprise hospitals next and religious hospitals and national or public ones lowest. 8) Method of employment is made through paper screening, and further that the appointment of nurses is conditional upon the favorable opinion of the nursing directors. 9) The unemployment ratio for one year in 1971 averaged 29 per cent. The reasons for unemployment indicate that the highest is because of marriage up to 40 per cent, and next is because of overseas employment. This high unemployment ratio further causes the deterioration of efficiency in nursing services and supplementary activities. The hospital authorities concerned should take this matter into a jeep consideration in order to reduce unemployment. 10) The importance of in-service education is well recognized and established. 1% has been noted that on the-job nurses. training has been most active, with nursing directors taking charge of the orientation programs of newly employed nurses. However, it is most necessary that a comprehensive study be made of instructors, contents and methods of education with a separate section for in-service education. 10. Nursing services'activities 1) Division of services and job descriptions are urgently required. 81 per rent of the hospitals keep written regulations of services in accordance with nursing service manuals. 19 per cent of the hospitals do not keep written regulations. Most of hospitals delegate to the nursing directors or certain supervisors the power of stipulating service regulations. In 21 per cent of the total hospitals they have policy committees, standardization committees and advisory committees to proceed with the stipulation of regulations. 2) Approximately 81 per cent of the hospitals have service channels in which directors, supervisors, head nurses and staff nurses perform their appropriate services according to the service plans and make up the service reports. In approximately 19 per cent of the hospitals the staff perform their nursing services without utilizing the above channels. 3) In the performance of nursing services, a ward manual is considered the most important one to be utilized in about 32 percent of hospitals. 25 per cent of hospitals indicate they use a kardex; 17 per cent use ward-rounding, and others take advantage of work sheets or coordination with other departments through conferences. 4) In about 78 per cent of hospitals they have records which indicate the status of personnel, and in 22 per cent they have not. 5) It has been advised that morale among nurses may be increased, ensuring more efficient services, by their being able to exchange opinions and views with each other. 6) The satisfactory performance of nursing services rely on the following factors to the degree indicated: approximately 32 per cent to the systematic nursing activities and services; 27 per cent to the head nurses ability for nursing diagnosis; 22 per cent to an effective supervisory system; 16 per cent to the hospital facilities and proper supply, and 3 per cent to effective in·service education. This means that nurses, supervisors, head nurses and directors play the most important roles in the performance of nursing services. 11. About 87 per cent of the hospitals do not have separate budgets for their nursing departments, and only 13 per cent of the hospitals have separate budgets. It is recommended that the planning and execution of the nursing administration be delegated to the pertinent administrators in order to bring about improved proved performances and activities in nursing services.
The levels of health knowledge, attitude and practice of housewives considerably effect to the health of households, communities and the nation. This study was designed to grasp the levels of health knowledge, attitude and practice of houswives and analyse the various factors effecting to health in order to provide health education services as well as materials for effective formulation and implementation of health policy to improve the health of the nation. This study has been conducted through interviews by trained surveyers for 4,281 housewives selected from 4,500 households throughout the country for 40 days during July 11-August 20, 1983. The results of survey were analysed by stepwise multiple regression and path analysis are summarized as follows; 1. Based on the measurement instrument applied to this study, the levels of health knowledge, attitude and practice of housewives were extremely low with 54.5 points out of 100 points in full. Higher level with 72 points and above was approximately 21 percent and lower level with 39 points and below was approx. 24 percent. The middle level was approx. 55 percent. In order to implement health programs successively, health education should be more strengthened and to improve the level of health knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of the nation, political consideration as a part of spiritual reformation must be concentrated on health. 2. The level of health knowledge indicated the highest points with 57.3 the level of attitude was the second with 55.0 points and the practice level was the lowest with 50.0 point. Therefore, planning and implementation of health education program must be based on the persuasion and motivation that health knowledge turn into practice. 3. Housewives who had higher level of health knowledge, showed their practice level was relatively lower and those who had middle or low level of it practice level was the reverse. 4. Correlations among health knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) were generally higher and statistically significant at 0.1 percent level. Correlation between total health KAP level and health knowledge was the highest with r=.8092. 5. Health KAP levels showed significant differences according to the age, number of children, marital status, self-assessed health status and concern on health of the housewives interviewed (p<0.001) 6. Health KAP levels also showed significant differences according to the education level, economic status, employment before marriage and grown-up area of the housewives interviewed. (p<0.001) 7. Heath KAP levels showed significant differences according to health insurance benificiary and the existence of patients in the family. (p<0.001). 8. Health KAP levels showed significant differences according to distance to government organizations, schools, distance to health facilities, telephone possession rate, television possession rate, newspaper reading rate and activities of Ban meeting and Women's club. (p<0.001) 9. Health KAP levels showed significant differences according to electric mass communication media such as television, radio and village broadcasting etc. and printed media such as newspaper, magazine and booklets etc., IEC variables such as individual consultation and husband-wife communication, however, there was no significance with group training. 10. Health KAP of the housewives showed close correlation with personal characteristics variables, i.e., education level (r=.5302), age (r=-.3694) grown-up area (r=.3357) and employment before marriage. In general, correlation of health knowledge level was higher than the levels of attitude or practice. In case of health concern and health insurance, correlation of practice level was higher than health knowledge level. 11. Health KAP levels showed higher correlation with community environmental characteristics, Ban meeting and activity of Women's club, however, no correlation with New-village movement. 12. Among IEC variables, husband-wife communication showed the highest correlation with health KAP levels and printed media, electric mas communication media and health consultation in order. Therefore, encouragement of husband-wife communication and development of training program for men should be included in health education program. 13. Mass media such as electric mass com. and printed media were effective for knowledge transmission and husband-wife communication and individual consultation were effective for health practice. Group training was significant for knowledge transmission, however, but not significant for attitude formation or turning to health practice. To improve health KAP levels, health knowledge should be transmitted via mass media and health consultation with health professionals and field health workers should be strengthened. 14. Correlation of health KAP levels showed that knowledge level was generally higher than that of practice and recognized that knowledge was not linked with attitude or practice. 15. The twenty-five variables effecting health KAP levels of housewives had 41 per cent explanation variances among which education level had great contribution (β=.2309) and electric mass com. media (β=.1778), husband-wife communication (β=.1482), printed media, grown-up area, and distance to government organizations in order. Variances explained (R²) of health KAP were 31%, 15%, and 30% respectively. 16. Principal variables contributed to health KAP were education level (β=.12320, β=.1465), electric mass comm. media (β=.1762, β=.1839), printed media, (β=.1383, β=.1420) husband-wife communication (β=.1004, β=.1067), grown-up area and distance to government organizations, in order. Since education level contributes greatly to health KAP of the housewives, health education including curriculum development in primary, middle and high schools must be emphasized and health science must be selected as one of the basic liberal arts subject in universities. 17. Variences explained of IEC variables to health KAP were 19% in total, 14% in knowledge, 9% in attitude, and 10% in health practice. Contributions of IEC variables to health KAP levels were printed media (β=.3882), electric mass comm media (β=.3165), husb-band wife com. (β=.2095,) and consultation on health (β=.0841) in order, however, group training showed negative effect (β=-.0402). National fund must be invested for the development of Health Program through mass media such as TV and radio etc. and for printed materials such as newspaper, magazines, phamplet etc. needed for transmission of health knowledge. 18. Variables contributed to health KAP levels through IEC variables with indirect effects were education level (Ind E=0.0410), health concern (Ind E=.0161), newspaper reading rate (Ind E=.0137), TV possession rate and activity of Ban meeting in order, however, health facility showed negative effect (Ind E=-.0232) and other variables showed direct effect but not indirect effect. 19. Among the variables effecting health KAP level, education level showed the highest in total effect (TE=.2693) then IEC (TE=.1972), grown-up city (TE=.1237), newspaper reading rate (TE=.1020), distance to government organization (TE=.095) in order. 20. Variables indicating indirect effects to health KAP levels were; at knowledge level with R²=30%, education level (Ind E=.0344), newspaper reading rate (Ind E=.0112), TV possession rate (Ind E=.0689), activity of Ban meeting (Ind E=.0079) in order and at attitude level with R²=13%, education level (Ind E=. 0338), activity of Ban meeting (Ind E=.0079), and at practice level with R²=29%. education level (Ind E=.0268), health facility (Ind E=.0830) and concern on health (Ind E=.0105). 21. Total effect to health KAP levels and IEC by variable characteristics, personal characteristics variables indicated larger than community characteristics variables. 22. Multiple Correlation Coefficient (MCC) expressed by the Personal Characteristic Variable was .5049 and explained approximately 25% of variances. MCC expressed by total Community environment variable was .4283 and explained approx. 18% of variances. MCC expressed by IEC Variables was .4380 and explained approx. 19% of variances. The most important variable effected to health KAP levels was personal characteristic and then IEC variable, Community Environment variable in order. When the IEC effected with personal characteristic or community characteristic, the MCC or the variances were relatively higher than effecting alone. Therefore it was identified that the IEC was one of the important intermediate variable.
A survey was made of 976 students who were selected among students of 5 middle schools at Taegu so that it could furnish basic knowledge about sex education of adolescents by analyzing students recognition of sex, acquaintance with the opposite-sex, sex-education, The survery took a month from Nov. 1, to Nov 30, 1991. The results of this study are summarized as follows. 1. The general characteristics of the surveyed students. The survey consisted of 332 boys middle school student & 325 girls middle school students, 157 male & 162 female students of coeducational middle schools. 32.9% of them were from the first grade, 33.2% from the second grade & 33.9% from the third grade. 35.7% of them believed in Buddhism, 19% Christianism and the mode of their living standard, 86.7%, fell on 34.7% of their parents engaged in commerce and they were followed by salary man and public officals, 93.1 % of the students, parents were alive. 44.9% of their fathers were graduates of high school and 42.2% of their mothers middle school. 2. Sexual maturity 89.1 % of the surveyed girls had experienced menstruation. The mode of first menstruation, 48.2%, was at the age of 13 and the mean of it was 12.9, 3.7% the surveyed boys had exprienced a wet drem before. The mode of the first wet dream, 40.0%, was at the age of 14 and the mean was 13.4. 21.3% of surveyed students had the experience of masturbation but the number of girls fell far short of that boys. The mode of the first masturbation, 37.0%, was at the age of 14 and the mean was 13.4. 3. The acquaintance and sexual relations with the opposite sex 1) Analyzing the students actual conditions with the opposite, I found out that 52.3% of them wanted to have any kind of relations with the opposite and that 30.25 had already had some kind of relations. 73.2% of the students having relations with the opposite thought the other sex merely as a friend and the number of students who were thinking that way was distributed evenly among schools. 28.8% of the students had got acquainted with the other sex through their frieds and there were not much difference between boys and girls in the method of getting acquainated with the opposite. About 35.2% of the students having relations with the opposite came from the third grade. 47.8% of them answered that the meeting place was not fixed and 26.4% answered that they were meeting their parthers outdoors. 60.7% replyed that they were not disturbed in their studies by the relations with the other sex. 2) Most of the students 79.4%, answered that they had never had sexual relations and 16.3% of the rest said that thery were expressing their feelings by grasping each other's hand. 3) 16.6% of the surveyed students asid that they had the exprience of smoking, 1.1 % of an illusion caused by inhaling chemical addhesives, 44.0% of drinking and 41.4% of warching pornographic films. 4. The knowledge and attitude about the sex 1) The distribution and analysis according to schools and grades : 64.8% of the surveyed students answered correctly to the questions about mensturation, 49.3 % did so about wet dreams, 94.3 % did so about conception, 60.6% did so about child birth, 73.9% did so about AIDS and 50.1 % did so about sexual diseases. Roughly speaking, they had not much knowledge of sexual diseases. 2) The recognition of sex according to schools and grades : 39.0% of the students said that they had worries about sex. 33.1 % of what they worried was concerned with their bodies and 26.8% was about the acqaintance and relationship with the opposite sex. The girls were much more concerned about the former and the boys the latter. 51.1 % of the students asid that they had no specific opinion of masturbation but 19.2% said that's alright if self-restrained. About the sexual intercourse before marriage, 75.7% said negatively. 5. The need for sex education most of the students, 99.4% said they needed sex education and there was not much difference in that thought among schools. And 49.7% answered that schools, families, and societies were equlally important in sex education. About half of the students, exactly 50.2%. considered it as the main reason of sex education to prevent accidents cauesd by ignorance of sex. 81.4% said that they had had some kind of sex education. Most of the educations, 87.0%, had taken place at schools but 5.2% said they were getting most of the knowledge about sex from therir friednds, juniors and seniors. 59.5% of the students who had ever had a sex education said "Just so, so" when asked of the level of their contentment but the number of students who said "satisfied" was only a few, 16.1 %. 20.7% of the survered answered that thery wanted sex education to be made in the course of home life, and 26.6 % of the students most wanted to know about the acquaintance and relationship with the oppostie sex, 29.0% preferred nurse teachers as proper councellors of sex education. The mode of their present councellors, 42.0%, was friends but only 7.6% answered they dicussed with teachers. 6. The correlation analysis between general characteristcs and sexual behaviors of the surveyed students revealed that sex had a signigicant(P<0.001) positive correlation with parents' love toward students(P<0.01), the experience of masturbation, smoking, an illusion caused by inhaling chemical adhesives and the experience of watching pornographic films. And the standard of living had a significant(P<0.01) positive correlation(P<0.01) with grade point average, parents' existence(P<0.01) and parents' love, but a significant(P<0.01) negative correlation with sexual worries. grade point average had a significant(P<0.01)negative correlation with the experience of an illusion caused by chemical adhesives(P<0.01) and smoking. Parents' existence had significant(P<0.01) positive correlations with parents' love and smoking but a significant(P<0.01) negative correlation with the experience of an illusion by chemical adhesives. There was a significant(P<0.01) negative correlations between parents' love and the experience of an illusion by chemical adhesives, and a significant(P<0.001) positive correlation among masturbation and sexual worries, smoking, an illusion by chemical adhesives and the experience of watching pornographic films. There was a significant(P<0.001) positive correlation among acquaintance with the opposite sex, smoking, the experience of an illusion by chemical adhesives and watching pornographic films. Sexual worries had significant(P<0.01) positive correlations with smoking, the experience of an illusion by chemical adhesives and watching pornographic films. smoking had a significant positive correlation with drinking the experirence of, an illusion by chemical adhesives and watching pornographic films. Finally, there was a significant(P<0.01) positive correlation between the drinking experience and the illusion experience by chemical adhesives. According to the results mentioned above, the fact is certain that there is a great need for sex education of adolescents. Therefore, it is desirable that the schools teach sexual physiology and normal positively and that sex education including hygien education be an independant course in the curriculums. Furthermore, it is essential that the schools should have enough nurse teachers to take up sex education, expand training opportunities for them and that they develop educational materials. Considering the unbalance of the level of sex educations between boys and girls, I want to suggest that all boys and girls have sex education evenly and lead happy lives by correction irrational thought about sex, that is to say, sex discrimination, Sex education programs, especially of middle school students, should be reexamined if it is to give the students effective and profitable knowledge about sex. In addition, the government should establish a policy of adolescents' sex education to have healthy opinions of sex settled nationwide.
This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However,
