Objectives: The workplace is an ideal place for encouraging health-promoting behaviors. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the effect of an empowerment program on the health-promoting behaviors of women workers. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted with 80 women workers employed at a food packaging facility in 2020. The subjects were selected using convenience sampling and were classified into intervention and control groups using block randomization. An empowerment program for women workers was conducted across 6 sessions based on an empowerment model. Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II, which participants completed both before the program and 8 weeks after the last session. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 16 using descriptive analysis and inferential statistics. Results: There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in various health-promoting behaviors before the program. However, the intervention group's scores for nutrition (34.92±1.09 vs. 27.87±4.23), physical activity (24.40±2.94 vs. 17.40±5.03), stress management (26.35±2.60 vs. 23.05±4.27), spiritual growth (34.02±3.00 vs. 30.22±5.40), interpersonal relationships (30.82±2.38 vs. 27.60±4.61), and health responsibility (31.60±2.71 vs. 28.22±4.59) were significantly higher than the control group's 8 weeks after the program had ended. Moreover, there was a significant difference in the total score of health-promoting behaviors for the intervention group compared to the control group (179.00±9.22 vs. 151.42±20.25, p=0.001). Conclusions: An empowerment program for women workers led to significant improvements in the health-promoting behaviors of the participants. Similar programs can ultimately improve women's health in the workplace.

Objectives: This paper reviews the main principles and values underlying health promotion and reflects upon recent health promotion efforts in Korea. Methods: The essay approaches these issues through the framework of the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion (WHO, 1986) and other related (WHO) documents. The Ottawa Charter has been an important basis for health promotion worldwide over the last three decades since 1986. Emphasizing the instrumental value of health and the prerequisites for health, it provides the definition of health promotion and elaborates the strategies for health promotion as well as the main health promotion actions. Results: Beyond the values of health as both a fundamental human right and a resource for everyday life, the values and principles related to health promotion shown in WHO documents and other literature include holism, social justice and equity, public and community participation, autonomy, empowerment, socioecological approaches to health, sustainability, intersectoral collaboration, partnership-building, responsibility for health, and so on. Conclusions: Reflecting, subjectively, on health promotion efforts in Korea, some values, including holism in terms of target population, equity, public and community participation, empowerment, and socio-ecological approaches have been realized to some extent, while other values like intersectoral collaboration and partnership have not been considered sincerely in public efforts relating to health promotion. Therefore, future health promotion efforts in Korea should concentrate on incorporating these critical values and principles-based approaches into health promotion activities.

본 연구는 지역사회 당뇨병 노인을 대상으로 당뇨병 임파워먼트, 건강인식, 당뇨병 자가간호행위 간의 상관관계를 파악하고 당뇨병 노인의 당뇨병 자가간호행위에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하고자 시행되었다. 일 지역 보건소에 등록된 65세이상 당뇨병 노인 80명을 대상으로 설문조사하였다. 평균 나이는 71.15세였고 남자가 41명, 여자가 39명이 포함되었다. 당뇨병 자가간호행위는 경제적 상태(r=.245, p=.029), 당뇨병 임파워먼트(r=.406, p<.001)와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었으나 건강인식(r=.127, p=.263)과는 유의한 상관관계를 나타내지 않았다. 본 연구결과, 당뇨병 노인의 당뇨병 자가간호행위에 미치는 요인으로 당뇨병 노인의 당뇨병 임파워먼트와 경제적 상태가 유의한 영향요인으로 나타났으며 수정된 모형의 설명력은 19.6%(F=10.623, p<.001)로 나타났다. 따라서 지역사회 당뇨병 노인의 당뇨병 임파워먼트를 향상시킬 수 있도록 지역사회 프로그램을 개발하고 공중보건 차원에서 경제적 지원 정책도 함께 제공된다면 지역사회 당뇨병 노인의 자가간호행위의 향상을 도모할 수 있을 것이다.

Objectives: This paper describes the concept, principles, and strategies and directions for community participation in health promotion. Methods: Descriptions of and discussions on community participation in this paper are based on the results of selected peer-reviewed research articles, white papers, and practice manuals which address the issues of community participation and community empowerment, and principles and strategies for practice in community health promotion. Results: In ladder-of-community-participation models, the level of participation ranges from non-participation to the stages where communities have partnerships, delegated power, and control. Enhancement of participation is presented as a continuum of informing - consulting - involving - collaborating - empowering. For community participation to reach its fullest potential, the types and levels of participation desired should be clearly decided at the beginning. Along with community readiness for participation, public health system should also be in place readily to process community participation for health promotion with appropriate procedures, guidelines, methods, resources, and stakeholders' commitment and support. Conclusions: For the promotion of participation in community health, readiness for participation of both community and public health system should be prepared.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of restorative family circles (RFCs) on empowerment and family support for people with mental illness, and the belief system and caring experience of their families. Methods: This study used a quasi-experiment with a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest non-synchronized design. Ninety-two dyads of patient-family caregivers were recruited using convenience sampling and assigned to the experimental and control groups. The subjects of the experimental group participated in RFCs consisting of eight 90-minute sessions. Data were collected at three different times (pretest, posttest, follow-up test) and analyzed for the effects of RFC using the 𝑥² test, Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney U test for homogeneity between groups, and generalized estimating equation models. Results: The findings of this study showed that there were significant differences in the family support for people with mental illness between the pretest and follow-up test, and also in the belief system and caring experience of the family between the pretest and posttest. Conclusion: This study revealed that family interventions based on restorative justice emphasizing community-driven conflict management could be used in psychiatric mental health nursing care for fostering a cohesive family relationship.

Objectives: Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is a kind of health promotion approach to increase social cohesion and sense of community, which has built the collaborated partnership in all phases. This has the co-ownership of research objectives and knowledges produced by residents, and the outcome was taken to enhance community empowerment. This study performed to embody CBPR, which had regulated collective health status approached by social epidemiology. Methods: Reference review had been exercised focused on CBPR books and papers published since 1990. Our interests were aimed at its paradigm and methodological issues. Particularly, we problematized its feasibility in the social and behavioral foundations of pubic health. Results: According to the review, CBPR shared critical understanding and decision-making related to their community development including health status. Therefore, it was strength-based approach in spite of scientific dichotomy. CBPR created social cohesion and community empowerment with all participants, because it sublated contradiction between subjectivism and objectivism. Conclusions: The success of CBPR needs what we so called trust, democracy, collaboration, devotion, and consensus of equity. Despite these factors, CBPR may be a methodological transition to prepare some intervention of health inequality. This is because it does emphasize a mixture of theory and praxis to manage vulnerable people in community.

본 연구는 사회복지 실천에서 사회복지사의 역량강화와 자기효능감 간의 관계를 밝히고, 변혁적 리더십이 이들 관계를 조절하여주는지 살펴보기 위하여 시도되었다. 조사는 서울의 사회복지기관에서 근무하는 사회복지전담공무원과 사회복지사를 대상으로 진행되었으며 390명의 자료가 최종분석에 활용되었다. 조사도구로는 사회복지사 역량강화, 사회복지 자기효능감, 변혁적 리더십 척도 등이 사용되었으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS/PC+ 12.0을 사용하여 기술통계분석, 피어슨의 상관관계, 신뢰도 분석, 요인분석, 다중선형회귀분석, 일반선형모델 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 역량강화와 변혁적 리더십의 정도가 높을수록 사회복지사의 사회복지 자기효능감이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 역량강화 하위요소 가운데 전문적 활동과 사회복지사의 사회복지 자기효능감 간의 관계에서 사회복지사가 인지하는 리더의 변혁적 리더십의 조절효과가 나타났다. 결론적으로 사회복지사가 인지한 리더의 변혁적 리더십의 수준이 높은 집단의 사람들보다는 낮은 집단의 사람들에게서 상대적으로 사회복지사의 전문적 활동이 사회복지사의 자기효능감에 미치는 영향이 높게 나타났으며, 이러한 결과는 전문적 활동을 수행해야 하는 사회복지사와 사회복지기관에 시사해 주는 바가 크다.
