The purpose of this study was to develop a sexuality education program for early adolescents. The overall goals of the program were to not only increase knowledge and skirts, but also to improve the awareness of healthy sex in order to promote premarital abstinence, parent-teen communication and parental awareness of the importance of parental roles and responsibilities in prevention of sexual problems of the early adolescent. The program consisted of six sessions: puberty changes during adolescence, the meaning of sexuality, sexual drives in dating relationships, understanding of the risks associated with early sexual involvement and support for postponing sexual activities, managing and avoiding sexually risky situations, the importance of communications with parents about issues related to sexuality. The program evaluation had three steps: pre-test, immediate post-test and two month follow-up post test. The results showed that the program had a significantly positive effect on the improvement of adolescent's knowledge about sex, and attitudes and behaviors toward sex, particularly in the immediate post-test. At the two month follow-up assessment, the effect of the program still remained strong, though there was a sight and partial reduction which was not statistically significant. Most of the program participants expressed a high level of satisfaction with the program. Parental involvement appeared to be effective as well. Recommendations for further study include: to re-evaluate the curriculum for various other participants. In addition, further study which would compare post-test results of these participants with a comparison group of peers who did not receive the program would be valuable. The author believes that the program can be used in implementing specific subjects (sessions) in new settings, as well as implementing the entire package of the program.

During phalloplasty, the labium major skin preserved. And this labium majoral skin flap was made for the neoscrotum. At least six months later, artificial testes were inserted in neoscrotum with local anesthesia. Middle sized (3 cm diameter) artificial testes(silicon gel or carving soft silicone implant) were used because of the limitation of the neoscrotum. We evaluated the questionnaire and interview about the postoperative satisfaction in configuration of reconstructed scrotum, and the necessity of operation, the postoperative psychosocioeconomic improvement and limitation of body exposure activities such as swimming, public bathing. Results: Based on this study, satisfaction of reconstructed scrotum after scrotoplasty was improved(92%).

본 연구는 척수손상 환자를 대상으로 병원기반 사회복귀 지원프로그램을 개발하고, 프로그램 시행 전 후를 비교 분석함으로써 프로그램의 효과성을 평가하고자 하였다. 재활병원에 입원해 있는 25명의 척수손상 환자를 대상으로 2~3개월 동안 일주일에 2번 평균 6.1개의 프로그램을 실시하였다. 프로그램 시행 전, 후 COPM, HADS, AD-R, WHOQOL-BREF를 통해 작업 수행도 및 만족도, 불안과 우울, 장애수용, 삶의 질을 비교하였으며, 퇴원 시 CIQ로 지역사회통합 수준과 퇴원 후의 사회복귀여부를 측정하였다. 자료분석은 기술통계와 대응표본 t검정(paired t-test)을 실시하였다. 연구결과 병원기반 사회복귀 지원프로그램 실시 후 작업 수행도 및 만족도, 장애수용, 삶의 질에 향상을 보였다(p<0.05). 또한 퇴원 후 25명의 척수손상 환자 중에서 10명이 가정, 학업, 직업으로 복귀하였다. 이를 통해 병원기반 사회복귀 지원프로그램이 척수손상 환자들이 퇴원 후 그들이 속한 지역사회로 돌아가는데 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 척수손상 환자들이 가정과 사회로의 빠른 복귀를 위해서는 사회복귀를 위한 다양한 프로그램 개발과 더불어 체계적인 사회복귀 연계시스템이 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.
