Purpose: This study was conducted to identify factors of COVID-19 stress, impulsiveness, and family strength on suicidal ideation of public nursing officials in community health centers. Methods: This study was a descriptive analysis study the subjects of this study were a total of 145 public nursing officials from community health centers in Busan. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS/WIN 23.0 version. Result: The result of the predictor analysis showed that the motor impulsiveness (β=.383, p<.001), workload (β=.222, p=.003), cognitive impulsiveness (β=-.205, p=.012), bond (β=-.169, p=.033). The regression model showed an explanatory power of 24.1%. Conciusion: it is necessary to increase impulse and stress control ability, and to adjust the workload. In addition, it is necessary to systematically guarantee a working environment where practical vacation can be used, but it may not be a realistic alternative in a disaster crisis such as COVID-19, so indirect alternatives such as reinforcing infectious disease experts, improving the work environment, and psychological support to prevent suicide in advance are required.

The impact of the next influenza pandemic is difficult to predict. It is dependent on how virulent the virus is, how rapidly it spreads from population to population, and the effectiveness of prevention and response efforts. Despite the uncertainty about the magnitude of the next pandemic, estimates of the health and economic impact remain important to aid public health policy decisions and guide pandemic planning for health and emergency sectors. Planning ahead in preparation for an influenza pandemic, with its potentially very high morbidity and mortality rates, is essential for hospital administrators and public health officials. The estimat ion of pandemic impact is based on the previous pandemics- we had experienced at least 3 pandemics in 20th century. But the epidemiologi cal characteristics - ie, start season, the impact of 1st wave, pathogenicity and virulence of the viruses and the primary victims of population were quite different from one another. I reviewed methodology for estimation and modelling of pandemic impact and described some nations's results using them in their national preparedness plans. And then I showed the estimates of pandemic influenza impact in Korea with FluSurge and FluAid. And, I described the results of pandemic modelling with parameters of 1918 pandemic for the shake of education and training of the first-line responder health officials to the epidemics. In preparing influenza pandemics, the simulation and modelling are the keys to reduce the uncertainty of the future and to make proper policies to manage and control the pandemics.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 지역사회 공무원의 정신건강지식 및 정신건강사업에 대한 인식을 알아보기 위해 시행된 서술적 조사연구이다. 조사대상자는 강원도 3개 군에 근무하는 공무원 273명을 대상으로 시행하였으며, 구조화된 설문지를 통해 2018년 7월 1일부터 8월 15일까지 자료를 수집하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS 22.0 프로그램을 이용하였다. 연구결과 공무원의 정신건강지식은 101.45점(범위 35-160)이었다. 정신건강지식정도는 직업, 정신건강 교육 유무, 정신건강 치료경험 유무, 가족의 정신건강 치료경험 유무에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 정신건강사업에 대한 인식으로 정신건강복지센터에 대해 알고 있는지에 대해 응답자의 39.9%가 이름정도만 알고 있다고 응답하였으며, 확대해야 할 정신건강서비스는 우울 등 조기발견 서비스가 35.9%로 가장 많았다. 정신건강사업으로 인한 지역사회의 변화에 대해 약간 좋아지고 있다는 응답자가 44.7%로 가장 많았다. 조사대상자들의 정신건강복지센터에 대한 인식과 정신건강 지식 점수와의 관계를 분석한 결과 정신건강지식점수에 따라 정신건강복지센터에 대한 사전지식 유무와 정신건강 관리를 위한 정부의 관리투자에 관한 문항은 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났으므로(p=.012) 지역사회 공무원들의 정신건강지식을 향상시키기 위해 정신건강간호사를 활용한 교육 프로그램의 개발을 제안한다.

Objectives: This study aimed to establish a control group based on the big data from National Health Insurance Service. We also presented presented the number of incidences for each cancer, and analyzed the cancer incidence rate among Korean workers. Methods: The cohort definition was separated by 'baseline cohort', 'dynamic cohort', and 'fixed- industry cohort' according to the definition. Cancer incidence was calculated based on the Korean Standard Classification of Disease code. Incidence rate was calculated among the group of all workers and public officials. Based on the study subjects and each cohort definition, the number of observations, incidences, and the incidence rate according to sex and age groups was calculated. The incidence rate was estimated based on the incidence per 100,000 person-year, and 95% confidence intervals calculated according to the Poisson distribution. Results: The result shows that the number of cancer cases in the all-worker group decreases after the age of 55, but the incidence rate tends to increase, which is attributed to the retirement of workers over 55 years old. Despite the specific characteristics of the workers, the trend and figures of cancer incidence revealed in this study are similar to those reported in previous studies of the overall South Korean population. When comparing the incidence rates of all workers and the control group of public officials, the incidence rate of public officials is generally observed to be higher in the age group under the age of 55. On the other hand, for workers aged 60 or older, the incidence rates were 1,065.4 per 100,000 person-year for all workers and 1,023.7 per 100,000 person-year for civil servants. Conclusions: This study analyzed through health insurance data including all workers in Korea, and analyzed the incidence of cancer of workers by sex and age. In addition, further in-depth researches are needed to determine the incidence of cancer by industry.
