If they are ignorant, malnourished or over-worked, the health &-their families as well as their own health will suffer. Women's health depends on broad considerations beyond medicine. Among other things, it depends upon their work in farming. their subordination to their families, their accepted roles, and poor hygiene with poorly equipped housing and environmental sanitation. 2. Objectives and Contents a. The health status of rural women : physical and mental complaints, experience of pesticides intoxication, Farmer's syndrome, experiences of reproductive health problems. b. participation in and attitudes towards housework and farming c. accessibility of medical care d. status of maternal health : fertility, family planning practice. induced abortion, and maternal care 3. Research method A nationwide field survey, based on stratified random sampling, was conducted during July, 1986. Revised Cornell Medical index(68 out of 195 items). Kawagai's Farmers Syndrome Scale, and self-developed structured questionnaires were used to rural farming wives(n=2.028). aged between 26-55. 4. Characteristics of the respondents mean age : 40.2 marital status : 90.8% married mean no. of household : 4.9 average years of education : 4.7 yrs. average income of household : \235,000 average years of residence in rural area : 36.4 yrs average Working hours(household and farming) : 11 hrs. 23 min 5. Health Status of rural women a. The average number of physical and mental symptoms were 12.4, 4.7, and the rate of complaints were 22.1%, 38.8% each. revealing complaints of mental symptomes higher than physical ones. b. 65.4% of rural women complained of more than 4 symptoms out of 9, indicating farmer's syndrome. 11.9 % experienced pesticide overdue syndrome c. 57.6% of respondents experienced women-specific health problems. d. Age and education of respondents were the variables which affect on the level of their health 6. Utilization of medical services a.

The repeated numbers of induced abortion seemed affected on the increasing numbers of symptoms and complaints. c. The first pre-natal check-up during first trimester was 41.8%, safe delivery rate was 15.6%, post-natal check-up during two months after delivery. Rural women had no enough rest after delivery revealing average days of rest from home work and farming 8.3 and 17.2. d. 86.6% practised breast feeding, showing younger and more educated mothers depending on artificial milk 8. Recommendations a. To lessen the multiple role over burden housing and sanitary conditions should be improved, and are needed farming machiner es for women and training on the use of them b.

  • 본 연구는 현재 우리나라에 생산·유통·식재되고 있는 조경수목의 근원직경 측정에 따른 실무자들의 분쟁실태와 합리적인 근원직경 측정위치 설정에 대하여 조사·분석하였다. 조경 실무자들 연령에 따른 '근원직경 측정기준 적정성'에 대한 의식 차이는 통계학적으로 분산분석(Analysis of Variance, ANOVA)을 한 결과, 유의수준 p<0.05에서 차이가 있었다. 조경실무자들의 연령에 따라 조경수목의 근원직경 측정에 대하여 적정성에 대한 차이가 있는 것은 나이가 적을수록 현장경험 차이 등 세대간 의식 차이로 생각되었다. 조경수목의 '근원직경 측정의 모호성'에서는 통계학적으로 분산분석(Analysis of Variance, ANOVA) 결과, 유의수준 p<0.05에서 차이가 있는 것은 직위별이었다. '조경수목 측정기준 개선'에서는 통계학적으로 유의수준 p<0.05에서 차이가 있는 것은 직장유형별이었다. 조경수목 측정기준개선에 대하여 직장유형별로 차이가 있는 것은 발주처와 시공사간 수직적 관계로 분쟁이 많기 때문으로 생각되었다. 조경수목 굴취 시 '표토층 제거방지'에서 통계학적으로 유의수준 p<0.00에서 차이가 있는 것은 연령별이었고, 유의수준 p<0.01에서 차이가 있는 것은 직종별이었으며, 유의수준 p<0.05에서 차이가 있는 것은 근무지역별이었다. 조경수목 굴취 시 '표토 제거와 이식 후 활착'에 대한 의식은 유의미한 차이는 없었다. 조경수목 '근원직경 측정기준 모호에 따른 분쟁 발생'은 직장별, 직종별, 직위별, 근무경력별 전체 평균이 3.85점으로 높았고, 공공기관보다는 조경업체가 더 높았으며, 직위가 높고 경력이 많을수록 분쟁 정도가 높았다. 조경수목 '근원직경 측정의 적정 높이에 대한 의식'은 지하부(33.0%)보다는 지상부(66.5%)의 직경측정을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 이식을 위한 조경수목 굴취 시 표토 제거는 지하 평균깊이 -2cm~-4cm가 84.0% 정도로 많았으며, 표토 제거 목적은 '규격과 단가를 높이기 위하여'가 전체의 59.7%로 나타났다.

  • Under the current medical system, a terminal patient and his/her family who are neglected inevitably face various aspects of crises including not only physical, but also psychological, social, economic, spiritual and legal problems. Nurses often look after many terminal patents with these types of complicated problems. Therefore, educating the nurses who will take care of such patents would greatly reduce stress so the patents end could their lives in peace and without losing their dignity. This research is a quasi experimental study of nonequivalent control group. A pretest-posttest design where a basic education program is developed for nurses, who frequently treat terminal patents, to understand the importance of the role of hospice and to apply their understandings to treat terminal lancer patents. A sample of the nurses were taken from those who were working in general wards at two general hospitals in Seoul during October, 2003${\sim}$December 2003. The study was composed of 46 experimental group and 43 control group. A basic hospice education program was developed by taking emphasized and overlapping parts from advanced practice hospice nurses education course, short-term education course, an extensive literature survey and by consulting three professionals as well. With the group of 5 professors with vast experiences in oncolgy, 5 nursing administrator, 3 nursing practitioner, the tentative first version of the program was developed and reviewed. Afterwards, by utilizing person to person interviews with 2 head nurses experienced with terminal patients, 1 nurse in charge of hospice, 1 nurse on the contents of the program, and a person to person rating on the educating medium by a nurse were performed. The final version of a basic education program was developed after the second revision. The hospice basic education program consists of introduction to hospice, hospice and commucation, management of pain for terminal cancer patients, physical management for terminal cancer patients, socio-psycological caring of terminal cancer patients and management of death and separation. Total education time was four hours organized into 50 minutes of instruction and 10 minutes of break. $Powerpoint^{(R)}$ software was used as the education medium. As research tools, "Knowledge on Hospice" was developed by the author after receiving a review from one expert. "Attitude of Hospice Nursing" was revised Kim(2001)'s attitude measuring tool which was based on Wang(1998), Kwon(1989), Park and Sung(1991)'s tool. "Liability on nursing terminal patients" was used as developed by Zarits(1980) and Mongomory(1985) translated by Lee(1985). For collecting data, preliminary investigation prior to 1 week of the hospice basic education program and post-investigations after 1 week and 4 weeks of the education were carried out for the nurses at a general ward who understood and agreed on the purpose of the program. Collected data were analyzed throughout t-test, $x^2-test$, Manova test and Bonferroni correction in $SAS^{(R)}$ program. The summary of the investigation is as follows: Hypothesis 1: "Educated experimental group would possess more knowledge on hospice compared to the un-educated control group" was supported after 1 (F=12.14, p=.00) and 4 (F=5.3, p=.02) weeks of education. Hypothesis 2: "Educated experimental group would take a positive attitude toward hospice nursing compared to the un-educated control group" was supported after 1(F=3.92, p=.05) and 4(F=5.05, p=.02) weeks of education. Hypothesis 3: "Educated experimental poop would feel less liability compared to the un-educated control group in nursing terminal cancer patients' was rejected. In this study, it was found that knowledge on hospice was significantly important. By applying hospice basic education programs to nurses, the education program helped nurses to take a positive attitude toward terminal patients. It was, however, seen that the education program had no effect on alleviating liability in nursing terminal patients. Therefore, it is expected that this educational program would help hospices and nurses at general wards to understand the concept and the role of hospice so that terminal patents, now neglected under current medical system, would be able to end their lives in peace.
