This study examined consumers' perceived anxiety regarding how safe the clothing and lifestyle products are as well as influencing factors. Data was collected using a self-ministered online survey of 1,126 adult consumers. The results of this study showed that consumer anxiety about chemicals and hygiene product safety had a greater impact on the anxiety perception of general safety than clothing and beauty products. It was confirmed that the reliability of information source (government agency, mass media, expert group, and internet community/blog) varies depending on the level of consumers' overall safety anxiety. The study also found the effect of consumers' subjective perception of health on safety anxiety about clothing and lifestyle products. Further, the moderating effect of age in the research model was confirmed. This result can be a useful guide to marketing communication for developing consumer safety-related policies to reduce consumer anxiety. The information will also help consumers make informed decisions that lead to safe and sustainable consumption.

This paper presents a quantitative evaluation method and result of moving vehicle perception using automotive radar. It is also important to analyze the accuracy of the perception algorithm quantitatively as well as to accurately percept nearby moving vehicles for safe and efficient autonomous driving. In this study, accuracy of the automotive radar-based perception algorithm which is developed based on interacting multiple model (IMM) has been verified via vehicle tests on real roads. In order to obtain experimental data for quantitative evaluation, Long Range Radar (LRR) has been mounted on the front of the ego vehicle and Short Range Radar (SRR) has been mounted on the rear side of both sides. RT-range has been installed on the ego vehicle and the target vehicle to simultaneously collect reference data on the states of the two vehicles. The experimental data is acquired in various relative positions and velocity, and the accuracy of the algorithm has been analyzed according to relative position and velocity. Quantitative analysis is conducted on relative position, relative heading angle, absolute velocity, and yaw rate of each vehicle.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between recognition about patient safety culture, patient safety competence, and safety nursing activities for emergency room nurses. The subjects of this study were 121 nurses working in the emergency room among the nurses with more than one year working in 9 general hospitals. The research tools were structured questionnaires of patient safety culture, patient safety competence, and safety nursing activities. As a result of this study, the perception of the patient safety culture was 3.51 out of 5, and the patient safety knowledge / attitude at the individual level was the highest. Patient safety competence was 3.60 points out of 5, and sub-domain showed 3.91 for attitude, 3.47 for skill, 3.24 for knowledge. Safety nursing activities showed 3.85 points out of 5 points and sub-area showed the highest level of medication. There was a positive correlation between safety nursing activities and patient safety culture(r=.40, p<.001), patient safety competence, and safety nursing activities(r=.70, p<.001), patient safety competence and patient safety culture(r=.40, p<.001). Especially, it was found that among the characteristics showing differences in the perception of the safety culture, patient safety competence, and safety nursing activities, the safety education within the last one year was influential. The lowest score in the knowledge domain was found to be the lowest among sub-scales of patient safety competence, and it was found that efforts to increase the knowledge level of patient safety were needed.

In this study, the value of the medical resort was divided into hedonic value, hospitality value, safety and personal information protection value, and profitability value by exploring and typifying the successful cases and related services of the medical resort in order to provide the direction of development and policy implications of the medical resort for the medical tourism industry. For those who have used the medical resort, I wanted to verify the impact of the value of medical resort on perception of medical resort and its intention to use it. As a result of this study, it was found that hedonic value and hospitality value of medical resort have a strong influence on usefulness perception and well-being perception of medical resort, that safety and personal information protection value of medical resort was only affected by usefulness perception, and profit value of medical resort was only affected by well-being perception. In addition, the usefulness perception and well-being perception of medical resorts were shown to have an impact on the intention of using medical resorts, especially in the case of well-being perception of medical resorts. The above findings are meaningful in that they expanded the medical resort-related research area for the medical tourism industry and provided useful implications for the development of medical resorts that meet the convenience and needs of medical tourists.

This exploratory study aimed to explore the perception (knowledge and attitude) and behaviors of medical personnel regarding medical device safety and to identify the differences in results linked with the type of their task. A questionnaire was administered to medical personnel working at a tertiary care hospital with 900 beds in Incheon, Korea, and 220 completed questionnaires were used for analysis. The results revealed that the majority of the medical personnel perceived the potential risk involved in different types of medical devices they use and stated that they need training programs for safe use of medical devices. Concerning the perception regarding medical devices across different positions within the hospital, it was found that the residents had a low awareness about safety issues, although the medical services they handled involve high risks, thereby calling for safety training. Further nationwide studies are needed to improve the quality and validity of data and eventually to provide important information required by policy makers and academicians to manage medical device safety.

This study focuses on drivers' risk perception & construct in risk scene. The measures used were the scores of hazard perception, namely the subjects' evaluation of the degree of risk through the 'Q-sorting' with 30 drivers. The subjects were divided into 3 groups according to their evaluating score, Z-score, road users' hazard(type 1), environmental hazard(type 2), situational hazard(type 3). And ten constructs derived from Q-sorting were compared through 'consensus item analysis'. It suggest that there are different in constructs for risk perception. Then those results are discussed in terms of theoretical and practical implication of traffic safety including accidents analysis and drivers' education.
