The human papilloma virus (HPV) is the main aetiological agent for cervical cancer, one of the most frequent cancers observed in women throughout the world. There are effective programs for reducing the incidence of cervical cancer with HPV vaccination. The objective of this study was to discuss the applicability of the HPV vaccination and the role of nurses in prevention of cervical cancer. Use of bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines has been initiated against the types of HPV which are the primary cause of cancer. The quadrivalent HPV vaccination has entered into the routine vaccination schedule in many European countries for use in children and adolescents between 9-15 years of age and for women between 16-26 years of age, whereas it has been proposed that the bivalent vaccination should be given to girls between 9-18 years of age. While cervical cancer is among the cancers that can be prevented, it is essential to continue screening tests while introducing vaccination in a systematic manner for protection. On this subject, among the most important roles of nurses is to implement the screening programs by fulfilling the caregiving, training and consultancy roles for the society and especially, for high risk groups and to increase the awareness of the people.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify students' awareness of the use of a chatbot (A-uC), a type of artificial intelligence technology, for violence prevention among elementary school students. Methods: The participants comprised 215 students in the fourth to sixth grades in Chuncheon, South Korea, and data were collected via a self-reported questionnaire. Results: The mean A-uC score was 3.43±0.83 out of 5 points. The mean scores for the 4 sub-dimensions of the A-uC tool were 3.48±0.80 for perceived value, 3.44±0.98 for perceived usefulness, 3.63±0.92 for perceived ease of use, and 3.15±1.07 for intention to use. Significant differences were observed in A-uC scores (F=59.26, p<.001) according to the need for the use of chatbots in violence prevention education. The relationships between intention to use and the other A-uC sub-dimensions showed significant correlations with perceived value (r=.85, p<.001), perceived usefulness (r=.76, p<.001), and perceived ease of use (r=.64, p<.001). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that chatbots can be used in violence prevention education for elementary school students.

Background & Objectives: The most northern and northwestern regions of Iran are at a high risk for gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the general population's awareness about risk factors, symptoms and signs, preventive methods and management of gastric carcinoma in a high prevalence city in the North of Iran. Methods: A cross-sectional population-based telephone survey which was conducted on 3,457 residents of Rasht, the capital city of Guilan Province, to assess their awareness regarding gastric carcinoma. The questionnaires contained demographic data and statements on respondents' knowledge about risk factors, symptoms and signs, prevention and management of gastric cancer which were filled by general practitioners after asking the subjects. Data were analyzed in SPSS14. P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean knowledge score of the respondents was $5.05{\pm}1.37$ regarding risk factors of gastric carcinoma, $4.39{\pm}1.99$ regarding symptoms and signs, $6.0{\pm}1.22$ regarding preventive strategies, and $1.6{\pm}1.16$ regarding management. Totally the mean knowledge level of the respondents toward gastric carcinoma would be $17.1{\pm}3.97$ from the maximum grade of 29. The age group of 45-55 y/o, bachelor degree and higher, physicians and nurses, those who had cancer history in friends or had the history of gastrointestinal diseases showed significantly higher knowledge scores (P=0.001). Conclusion: There is a general lack of awareness of cancer risk factors, symptoms and signs, methods of prevention, and importance of early diagnosis and treatment. Educational programs should be developed to promote adherence to recommended screening guidelines.

공동주택은 사람들이 생활하고 거주하는 중요한 장소이자 소통 공간으로서 그 주거 환경의 좋고 나쁨이 주민의 행복감과 안정감에 직접적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 이에 기반한 공동주택의 범죄예방디자인(CPTED)이 필요하다. 하지만, 중국의 범죄 관련 데이터를 대중에게 공개하지 않고 있어 중국의 학자들은 정확한 범죄 데이터에 대한 추가적인 연구를 수행하기 어려운 상황이다. 이로 인해 범죄예방 측면에서 범죄예방디자인의 이론 구축과 적용이 늦어지고 있다. 본 연구는 공동주택의 범죄예방디자인에 대한 소비자의 인식, 각 요소의 중요도, 공동주택 범죄예방디자인 인식개선 방안 등 세 가지 측면을 연구하여 공동주택의 범죄예방디자인 원칙을 효과적으로 개선하고, 공공의 안전을 향상하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 본 연구는 중국 주택 소비자의 범죄예방에 대한 인지도를 파악하기 위해 관련 연구 보고서와 선행문헌을 통해 중국 범죄예방디자인의 현황 및 개발 동향을 조사했다. 또한, 중국 소비자의 공동주택에 대한 범죄예방디자인 인식과 공동주택 범죄예방디자인 각 요소의 중요도 와 인식개선 방안을 파악하기 위해 중국 소비자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 리커트 척도(Likert Scale)에 기반한 설문 조사와 통계 패키지인 SPSS의 신뢰도 분석을 이용하여 공동주택 범죄예방디자인의 인지 상황, 각 요소의 중요도와 개선 방안을 도출하였다. 본 연구가 실제 효과에 대한 검증이 부족한 점을 고려할 때, 향후 연구에서는 범죄예방디자인의 효과를 검증하고 보다 실질적인 결과를 도출하는 연구가 필요하다. 더불어, 지역 특성에 맞는 안전 솔루션을 도입하고 주민들의 안전 의식을 높이는 교육과 정보 확산을 통해 지역사회의 안전을 촉진하는 방안을 연구하는 것도 중요하다. 연구 결과를 통해 도출된 공동주택의 범죄예방디자인에 대한 인식도와 각 요소의 중요도 및 개선 방안은 향후 중국 지역을 기반으로 한 공동주택 범죄예방디자인 개발에 기초 자료로 활용되길 기대한다.

Initiated by the Ministry of Labor, a lot of efforts have been dedicated to the area of occupational injury prevention and some achievements were obtained as well. However, we may find the reason of not having a considerable decrease of occupational injuries in our society in the overall low safety level, lacking safety awareness and lacking proper measures in conformity with the safety standard. Taking a lesson from the above facts, we hereby present measures to be taken for the success of the second Five-Year Occupational Injury Prevention Plan(2005-2009).

보육교사들의 구강보건지식수준과 치아우식증 예방인식도를 조사하기 위하여 서울 경기, 부산 경남지역의 보육교사를 대상으로 2013년 3월부터 5개월간 총 433명을 조사하였다. 보육교사들의 구강보건지식습득 경로는 병원 56.6%로 가장 많았고, 구강보건지식 응답 분포에서 정답률은 "치아가 빠졌을 때 우유에 넣어서 치과에 간다" 100%로 가장 높았고, "치아가 빠졌을 때 물로 씻는다" 35.1%로 가장 낮았다. 구강보건지식 수준은 부산 경남(p<0.001), 원생 수는 많을수록(p<0.001), 교사의 연령이 젊을수록(p<0.001), 학력은 전문대졸업(p=0.002)에서 지식수준이 높았다. 치아우식증 예방효과 인식수준에서는 연령이 증가할수록(p<0.001), 기혼(p=0.002), 직책에서는 원감(p=0.023), 경력에서는 10년 이상(p=0.009)에서 높았다. 아동들의 구강건강의 향상을 위해서는 보육교사들의 정확한 구강보건지식이 습득이 선행되어야 하며, 이를 위해서는 연령에 맞는 교육프로그램을 개발하고 정기적교육이 이루어져야 할 것이다.
