Purpose: This study attempts to identify the level of awareness, ethical awareness, and decision-making among nursing students, in response to pandemic infectious diseases. Methods: Subjects were 210 nursing college students attending colleges in 5 cities and provinces nationwide. Data were collected from November 2017 to April 2018 using a self-administrated questionnaire, and analyzed utilizing descriptive statistics. Results: Considering the awareness of pandemic infectious diseases, the nursing students expressed high concern about the possibility of future outbreaks of pandemic infectious diseases and seriousness of the situation. There were numerous negative views on the response and stockpiling of drugs by the government. Ethical awareness of pandemic infectious diseases was high, with demands for accurate information and proper protective equipment. Overall, ethical decision-making when responding to pandemic infectious diseases represented a high score. Also, higher awareness levels of pandemic infectious diseases would result in increased ethical and ethical decision-making. Conclusion: In conclusion, we propose the introduction of an ethical education program for medical personnel and nursing university students, to enable the handling of future pandemic outbreaks of new infectious diseases.

Objectives: Although vaccination rates have increased, problems still remain in the storage and handling of vaccines. This study focused on inspecting actual vaccine storage status and awareness, and comparing them before and after education was provided. Methods: In the primary inspection, a status survey checklist was completed by visual inspection. A questionnaire on the awareness of proper vaccine storage and handling was also administered to vaccine administrators in private medical institutions in 4 regions in Gyeongsangbuk-province. One-on-one education was then carried out, and our self-produced manual on safe vaccine storage and management methods was provided. In the secondary inspection, the investigators visited the same medical institutions and used the same questionnaire and checklist used during the primary inspection. The results before and after education were compared, by treating each appropriate answer as 1 point. Results: The average checklists score was 9.74 (out of 15 points), which increased significantly after education was provided (by 0.84, p<0.001). The participants demonstrated improved practices in recording storage temperatures(p=0.016), storing vaccines in the center of the refrigerator (p=0.004), storing vaccines with other medication and nonmedical items (p=0.031) after education. The average score calculated from the questionnaires was 10.48 (out of 14points), which increased after education (by 1.03, p<0.001). Conclusions: This study suggests that vaccine storage practices and awareness are inadequate, but can be partially improved by providing relevant education. Repetitive education and policy-making are required to store vaccines safely because one-off education and unenforced guidelines offer limited efficacy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the extent of awareness and understanding of college students on temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and to search for avenues for raising public awareness and improving knowledge about TMD. Methods: One thousand and one hundred and twenty one college students in Gyeonggi-do completed a questionnaire related to awareness, experience and knowledge of TMD and collected data were analyzed by Pearson's chi-squared test. Results: Women were more significantly aware of the terms, 'TMD' (p<0.001) and 'jaw joint disease' (p<0.001) than men. Third graders were more significantly aware of the terms, 'TMD' (p<0.001) and 'jaw joint disease' (p<0.001) than any other graders. Third graders the most frequently chose to visit department of dentistry for the treatment of TMD among three graders (p<0.001). Women more frequently chose to visit department of dentistry for the treatment of TMD than men (p<0.001). Health field subjects were more significantly aware of the terms, 'TMD' (p<0.001) and 'jaw joint disease' (p<0.001) than non health field subjects. Having more frequently visited department of dentistry for the treatment of TMD than non health field subjects (p<0.001), health field subjects more frequently chose to visit department of dentistry for the treatment of TMD in the future (p<0.001). Conclusions: The level of awareness and knowledge of TMD was higher in women college students, health field subjects and third graders than men college students, non health field subjects and the rest of two graders, respectively. The higher the level of experience and education of the subject, the more aware the subject was of TMD. Therefore publicity activities and education through various routes are required to raise public awareness and knowledge of TMD.

본 연구는 자기인식이 정신건강 지표로서 삶의 만족과 우울, 불안에 미치는 영향을 검증하는 데 목적이 있다. 300명의 청소년을 대상으로 자기인식, 삶의 만족, 우울, 불안을 포함한 온라인 설문을 실시하였고, 다중회귀분석을 통해 변인 간 관계를 관찰해보았다. 연구 결과, 청소년의 전반적인 자기인식은 삶의 만족, 우울, 불안에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있었다. 또한 자기인식을 내적‧대인관계적‧환경적 자기인식의 세 차원으로 구분하여 정신건강에 미치는 효과를 확인한 결과, 삶의 만족은 대인관계적‧환경적 자기인식으로부터 예측된 반면, 우울과 불안은 내적 자기인식으로부터 예측되었다. 이 결과는 청소년의 자기인식이 전반적으로는 정신건강에 영향을 두루 미치지만, 긍정적‧부정적 정서요인은 자기인식의 유형에 따라 변별적으로 영향을 받는다는 점을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구를 통해 청소년기에 정신건강을 증진하고 삶의 질을 높이는 과정에서 자기인식이 중요하다는 점을 구체적으로 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, we analyzed the factors that affect public awareness campaigns on social media platforms and developed an integrated model for measuring the persuasiveness of environmental social media campaigns. A survey questionnaire was created and distributed on Facebook with the goal of reaching individuals in their 20s and 40s in Vietnam, and 395 valid replies were gathered. The findings showed that the STOPS was reconfirmed as a suitable theoretical framework for analyzing the public's behaviour intention to conduct information related to the issue of fine dust, especially on social media. Furthermore, it also showed that social media efficacy has a moderating effect on the relationship between public's situational recognition and informational behaviour intention. This suggested that through social media platforms, personal characteristics play a vital part in developing effective environmental campaigns. Implications for both theory and practice were discussed.

담수 외래종에 대한 대중의 인식은 시대나 외래종과 관련된 특정 사건에 따라 달라진다. 인식차이는 관리계획을 수립하고 이해하는데 영향을 미쳐 외래종을 관리하는데 대중들의 인식을 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 보전문화체학 (Conservation culturomics)에서 사용하는 소셜 네트워크 플렛폼의 디지털 텍스트, 언론보도, 인터넷 검색량을 분석하여 담수 외래종에 대한 대중의 관심도와 감성을 파악하고자 하였다. 11종의 담수 외래종을 대상으로 트위터 게시글 수와, 언론보도량, 검색량을 추출하여 대중의 관심도를 파악하였다. 또한 이 자료들의 시간에 따른 추세와 계절 변동성여부, 자료의 반복 주기를 확인하였다. 수집된 자료를 텍스트마이닝 기법 기반의 감성분석을 통해 감성지수(sentiment score)로 산출해 각 종에 대한 대중들의 감성을 분석하였다. 연구결과 황소개구리와 뉴트리아, 파랑볼우럭, 큰입우럭은 다른 종들보다 상대적으로 많은 대중의 관심을 받는 것으로 확인되었다. 일부 종에서는 특정 시기에 따라 반복되고 변화하는 트윗량과, 언론보도량, 검색량을 나타냈다. 한편 텍스트마이닝 분석 결과, 대부분의 사람들이 담수 외래종에 대해 부정적인 감성을 가지고 있었다. 특히 생태계교란 생물이 지정된 이후 연도가 갈수록 부정적인 감성은 증가하였다. 하지만 과학적 근거가 없는 정보가 확산되거나 혐오를 증대시켜 담수 외래종을 관리하는 것은 한계가 있다. 따라서 외래종에 대한 대중들의 인식을 과학적으로 파악하여 관리방안이 수립되어야 한다.

The purpose of this study is to explore whether the perceptions of materialistic realities of South Korean university students can be explained by individual experience and media use. We examined: 1) relative consequences of awareness of discrimination experience and amounts of time spent on genre-specific media on perceptions of materialistic realities, 2) whether cultural orientation (allocentrism, self-monitoring, and masculinity) influences explanatory factors of awareness of discrimination experience, 3) conditions of countervailing responses to materialistic reality. As a result of analyzing the online survey data of 330 university students in Seoul, the amount of time spent on the beauty or fashion genre and awareness of discrimination experience explained the perceptions of materialist reality in Korean society. Although the perceptions that affected the accommodative response did not affect countervailing response, innovativeness had an interaction effect with perceptions of materialist reality in only countervailing response. Finally, the implications of these findings were discussed.
