이 연구의 목적은 일부 대학생들의 신종 감염병에 대한 예방인식을 조사 분석하여 향후 대학생들이 감염병 예방을 위한 올바른 실천행동을 형성하는데 정책의 기초자료로 사용되고자 한다. 경북 소재 일개 대학에서 2018년 4월 30일부터 5월 11일까지 자기기입식 설문지를 활용해 신종감염병에 대한 심각성, 민감성, 자기효능감, 예방행동의도를 조사 분석하였다. 일반적 특성 및 건강행태를 통제한 후 신종감염병의 예방행동의도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사 분석하여 살펴보니 최종 모형인 Model 2에서 첫째, 심각성이 높을수록 ${\beta}=.125$, 둘째, 자기효능감이 높을수록 ${\beta}=.709$만큼 예방행동의도가 점차 증가하였다. 하지만 셋째, 민감성은 유의한 영향을 전혀 미치지 않았다. 마지막으로 신종감염병 예방행동의도에 있어 이론 및 실제적으로 민감성도 중요하게 적용되어야 하는 요소인데 민감성이 영향을 미치는 요인이 아니었다는 것은 신종감염병의 이환에 대해 위험성이나 두려움이 낮아 질병안전에 대한 불감증이 존재하는 것으로 생각되어 보다 민감성을 높여줄 수 있는 질병예방 정책을 앞으로 마련해야 할 것으로 보인다.

연구배경 및 목적: 본 연구의 목적은 미국질병관리센터(CDC) 치과감염관리 표준예방지침에 기준하여 감염관리 인식과 예방에 관한 인식을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법: CDC 치과감염관리 목록을 기준으로 'CDC 감염관리기준에 관한 표준 및 교육', 'CDC 감염관리 예방에 관한 사항', '연구대상자의 특성 및 감염관리 특성'에 관한 설문을 구성하였다. 총 222개의 설문을 빈도분석과 교차분석을 실시하여 분석에 활용하였다. 결과: 연구대상자의 특성은 대부분 대학병원이나 종합병원에 근무하고 있었으며 최근 1년이내 감염 예방 교육을 93.7%가 받은 것으로 나타났다. CDC 치과 감염관리 표준 및 교육 인식은 평균 77.2%로 이전 연구 결과와 비교해 더 높았다. 예방에 관한 인식은 평균 71.5%로 나타났으며 인증평가를 받은 그룹에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이로 예방에 관한 인식이 높았다(p<0.001). 결론: 본 연구 대상자는 감염관리 표준 및 교육 인식과 예방에 관한 인식이 이전연구 보다 높게 나타났다. 그러나 CDC 치과감염관리 표준예방지침에 비교하여 미흡한 수준이었다. 따라서 정부 부처와 관련 기관은 체계적인 감염관리 시스템을 구축하기 위한 노력이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the types of latent profiles of high school students' fire safety awareness and to identify the characteristics of related variables. For this purpose, a survey was conducted from March 22 to May 25, 2021 for 1054 high school students (male; 569, female; 485) in 3 cities, in Jeollabuk-do. The latent profile was analyzed using a scale consisting of 4 sub-factors: 'fire prevention', 'fire preparedness', 'indirect fire response', and 'direct fire response'. It was checked whether there were differences according to the inter-individual differences of the latent group. As a result of the analysis, fire safety awareness of high school students was classified into three latent profiles. The three groups were named 'High Perception Type', 'Moderate Perception Type', and 'Low Perception Type' according to their types. In fire safety awareness, there is a significant difference in the individual differences according to the gender and academic achievement of the latent profile. These results are meaningful as the first study to analyze the latent profile of high school students' fire safety awareness, and it is also meaningful to provide a useful basis for the contents and methods of customized fire safety education by identifying the tendencies of spontaneous groups and their fire safety awareness.

Objective: To assess oral cancer awareness, its associated factors and related sources of information among a selected group of Malaysians. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on all Malaysian ethnic groups aged ${\geq}15$ years old at eight strategically chosen shopping malls within a two week time period. Data were analysed using chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression. Significance level was set at ${\alpha}$ <0.05. Results: Most (84.2%) respondents had heard of oral cancer. Smoking was the most (92.4%) recognized high risk habit. Similar levels of awareness were seen for unhealed ulcers (57.3%) and red/white patches (58.0%) as signs of oral cancer. Age, gender, ethnicity, marital status, education, occupation and income were significantly associated with oral cancer awareness (p<0.05). Conclusions: There was a general lack of awareness regarding the risk habits, early signs and symptoms, and the benefits of detecting this disease at an early stage. Mass media and health campaigns were the main sources of information about oral cancer. In our Malaysian population, gender and age were significantly associated with the awareness of early signs and symptoms and prevention of oral cancer, respectively.

This research aims to identify important variables and their effects on diabetes prevention or progression from prediabetes to diabetic complication using system thinking. Based on the existing studies, we have constructed a causal loop diagram explaining dynamics of diabetes and have found 7 important reinforcing loops and 3 balancing loops in the causal loop diagram. The CLD displays an effect of increasing prediabetes early detection and awareness on diabetes prevention. The findings indicate that the projects in Korea for reducing incidence of diabetes and potential risk of complication have focused on variables which are related only on diabetes even though prediabetes has been a critical point on diabetes prevention and management. Thus, it also concludes that the effect of projects focusing only on diabetes have faced limitation to manage diabetes accordingly.

The developing countries have higher mortality rates for breast cancer. A reason for this is presentation at advanced stages due to low levels of public awareness. Activities are arranged by health authorities of developing countries to increase the knowledge of women but their effectiveness has not been evaluated in detail. A multiple choice questionnaire with questions about socio-demographic profile and questions about breast cancer knowledge was designed in local language Urdu, to evaluate the knowledge of the participants before and after an audio visual educational activity in Lahore, Pakistan. Scores of 0-2, 3-5 and 6-8 were ranked as poor, fair and good, respectively. Among 146 participants these scores were achieved by 1%, 55% and 45% before activity and 0%, 16% and 84% after the activity. Overall 66% of participants increased their knowledge score. Younger age, higher education, reliance on television as source of information and being a housewife were associated with better impact of the awareness activity. For the six knowledge related questions 3%, 5%, 11%, 23%, 33% and 44% more participants gave correct answers after the activity. However 6% and 7% fewer participants answered correctly for 2 questions related to the cause and the best prevention for breast cancer. The study indicated that awareness activities are effective to increase the knowledge of women and better impact is associated with higher education and younger age of women. The component analysis showed that the questions and related presentations using medical terms have a negative impact and should not therefore be used. Analysis of activity therefore leads to identification of deficiencies which can be remedied in future.

Objectives: Diet and incidence of chronic diseases are highly related. This study examined the characteristics of dietary safety awareness and competency for chronic disease prevention among adults. Methods: Data were collected from 247 adults in Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas using a self-administered questionnaire in May and June of 2018. Data were analyzed by frequency analysis, χ²-test, factor analysis, reliability analysis, t-test, one-way analysis of variances, and correlation. Results: The results of the factor analysis indicate that dietary safety awareness of health management was classified into chronic disease anxiety and obsession. Awareness of dietary safety management was sub-grouped into difficulty in acquiring knowledge, lack of awareness of over and malnutrition, food safety anxiety, importance of weight management, education requirement for cancer prevention, and knowledge. Dietary safety behavior composed of a balanced diet, unhealthy diet, and health-functional pursuit. Dietary safety management competency was comprised of health management, food management, and cooking. The competency scores of dietary safety management factors were significantly different according to sex, age, and education level (P < 0.05). Balanced diet factor was significantly correlated with knowledge, health-functional pursuit, health management, food management, and cooking capacity factors (P < 0.01). Conclusions: Active education for dietary safety management competency according to age, gender, and education level should provide dietary safety education to reduce anxiety and obsession regarding chronic diseases and sustainable health management.
