The elderly are the most rapidly growing segment of the population in Korea and the largest consumers of expensive medical care. It is reasonable to believe that improving the nutritional status would be beneficial to reducing morbidity and to impro- ving the quality of their lives. This study was conducted to assess the health status and the Nutritional Risk Index of the elderly, and to provide the basic data for the Elderly Nutrition Improvement Program at the Public Health Center. One hundred and forty seven(76 males. 71 females) aged 60 years and over living in Suwon, were assessed with anthropometric measurements, body fat analysis, blood pressure measurements, and a set of questionnaires about health and other related variables. Over half of them had less than a junior middle school education and were considered low income. The percentage of overweight and obese subjects was 33% by the BMI(Body Mass Index), and the prevalence of hypertension was 28$\%$(males) and 31$\%$(females). They had a lot of self-recognized health problems, the male elderly complained about more than the female elderly. In the case of psychological health status, however, the female elderly showed a higher proportions of depression than the male elderly(p$\ll$0.05). In social health status, the elderly had good relationships with friends and collegues, whereas they had poor relationships with their families. They had many nutritional risk factors, and smoking was the most prevalent risk factor for the male elderly and anemia was for the female elderly. The results of this study suggest that Elderly Nutrition Improvement Programs should be planned that can be easily followed. It would be helpful to design a program focusing on individual phychological and social health status, this would increase the efficiency of the program.

This study was conducted to assess the knowledge and educational need of pregnant women relating to antepartum, delivery, puerperium period and to identify the variables which influenced their knowledge and educational need. The study subjects were 77 antepartum women who had antenatal educations and 106 antepartum women who did not have antenatal education. Number of total antepartum women were 183. Data were collected from women who visited for antenatal care at general hospitals and public health centers in Pusan and Kyungnam area using qestionnaires from Feb. 1. 1998 to Apr. 20. 1998. SAS/PC program was used for data analysis. ; Chi-square test, t-test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, ANOVA(Duncan procedure) and MANOVA. The results of this study were as follows: 1. Relating to the antepartum period between two groups, the knowledge about the number of antenatal care was low, relating to labor the knowledge about the time fix the fetal position and relating to postpartum, the knowledge about the change of blood pressure and body temperature was low. 2. The comparision means of knowledge were adjusted by social demographic characteristics related to knowledge. There were statistically significant differences in total mean score of knowledge about pregnancy, delivery and postpartum between two groups. In full marks 19, the mean scores of the educational group and non-educational group were 13.08 and 11.74 respectively (P=.000). In resultly, there are statistically significant differences between two groups. The effectiveness of antenatal education group was very high and showed its importance. 3. The comparision means of educational need were adjusted by social demographic characteristics related to educational need. The mean scores of educational need were statistically significantly different in pregnancy, delivery and puerperium period. 4. There were positive correlations between the knowledge and educational level, duration of marriage and total numbers of pregnancy. There were negative correlation between the educational need and age, educational level, duration of marriage and total number of pregnancy. The above results showed the effects of antenatal education.

This paper seeks to analyze how the welfare state has developed both in the Kim Young Sam government and in the Kim Dae Jung government. Among other things, the two governments share some similarities: compared to the previous authoritarian governments, both of them enjoyed a high level of democratic legitimacy; the two were under pressure to win the elections to acquire and remain in power; and finally, the two tried to strengthen welfare system. But there exist more critical differences. The Kim Dae Jung government was a minority government, while the Kim Young Sam government was a majority one. Compared to the latter one, the former came to power in an extremely bad economic condition. Fortunately, however, the Kim Dae Jung government was able to enjoy a relatively high level of state autonomy resulting from an exceptional situation of foreign currency crisis. In addition, it was more reformist in policy orientation and had a more open cooperative network with civil society. All these differences added up to produce remarkable differences with regard to the improvement in welfare development. Especially, it is noted that the Kim Dae Jung government was very successful in several respects: provision of national minimum, integration of national medical insurance, development of productive welfare system, and final1y increase in welfare spending. Recently, criticisms from the opposition party, the press, and middle and upper class people mount against the Kim Dae Jung government which has made significant mistakes in instituting the separation of medical and pharmaceutical businesses. However, the important improvements in welfare institutions and programs by the Kim Dae Jung government need to be maintained to deal with all the negative effects of a naked market economy. They must also be sustained to keep alive democracy that Korean people have fought for nearly half a century.

Background: Cigarette smoking is one of the leading global causes of premature and preventable death. In Brunei Darussalam, smoking-related diseases have been a primary cause of mortality for the past three decades. Despite the increasing efforts that have been made in recent years to reduce the consumption of tobacco products in Brunei, the prevalence of adolescent smoking cigarette, however has risen alarmingly, from 8.9% in 2013 to 11.4% in 2014, with a higher prevalence found in males (17.8%) than in females (4.8%). In response to the need for more effective smoking prevention programmes in Brunei, this study sought to explore factors that influence Bruneian male adolescents to start and continue smoking. Materials and Methods: A qualitative study using focus group discussions (FGDs) as the data collection method was conducted from October to November 2015. A total of 43 studentss, comprising 31 smokers and 12 non-smokers, aged 13-17 years, from two government secondary schools in Bandar Seri Begawan, participated in six FGDs. Discussions were recorded and translated. Transcripts were entered into NVivo10, before thematic analysis was conducted. Results: We identified three themes under the core construct of 'factors influencing smoking initiation' ('family as teachers', 'overt pressure from peers' and 'perceived smoking has many advantages') and three themes under the core construct of 'factors influencing smoking continuation' ('craving and addiction', 'smoking as a 'social activity' and 'easy accessibility of cigarettes'). Conclusions: Based on the findings, it is recommended that future prevention activities should be embedded in a comprehensive approach, involving all stakeholders within a community, and should be focused towards bringing a change in smoking and parenting behavior of parents, social norms within the culture towards all population levels, and at strengthening the existing non-smoking policies in schools and other public places where young people congregate.

여행시장에 있어 인구의 고령화는 새로운 표적시장의 증가라는 점에서 의미가 있고 국가정책 측면에서는 복지관광수요의 증가라는 의미를 갖는다. 날로 첨예화되는 시장경쟁과 새로운 시장 창출이라는 당면과제를 안고 있는 여행업계의 입장에서는 새로운 수익창출 대안으로서 노인관광시장을 주목할 필요가 있다. 한편, 향후 우리사회에 심각한 문제가 될 수 있는 노인문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 복지관광 측면에서 노인관광에 접근할 수 있는데, 이는 여러 가지 노인 여가활동 중 관광이 노인들의 생활만족도에 미치는 영향이 타 여가활동보다 상대적으로 높다는 점에 착안한다. 본 연구에서는 청주지역 노인들을 대상으로 인구통계적 특성 및 여행활동 특성이 생활만족에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 분석의 결과, 생활수준, 건강상태, 용돈수준이 높은 노인 집단일수록 생활만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났으나 여행형태에 따른 생활만족의 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과를 토대로 본 논문에서는 실무적 시사점과 정책과제에 대한 시사점을 제시하였다.

대소변을 인지하지 못하여 대소변 처리를 스스로 처리할 수 없는 사람은 보호자(또는 간병인)의 도움으로 대소변을 처리하고 있다. 대소변을 했을 경우 즉시 기저귀를 갈아 주어야 기저귀의 젖음으로 인한 불쾌감, 욕창, 습진 등 엉덩이의 짖무름으로 인한 질병의 발생을 방지할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 사람들은 대개 스스로 의사표현을 하는 것이 불가능하여 대소변에 대한 의사표현을 할 수 없거나 수치심에 의해 참음으로서 보호자가 즉시 대소변의 유무를 확인할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구를 통하여 대소변을 자동으로 감지하여 보호자(또는 간병인)에게 대소변 여부를 핸드폰 문자로 즉시 알려주는 u-Care 시스템을 개발함으로써 간병 서비스의 질적 향상을 가져올 수 있으며, 간병비 증가에 따른 사회복지비용을 절감함으로써 저소득층 노인 및 독거노인 등 사회적 의존계층에 대한 복지 혜택을 증진할 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문은 경제 인문사회연구회 소관 23개 정부출연연구기관의 2006년도부터 2010년도까지 생산성 변화를 분석하고 생산성 변화 관련 요인을 파악하여 정책적 시사점을 도출하기 위해 수행되었다. DEA Malmquist 생산성 지수를 통해 분석한 결과, 이 기간 중 연구기관의 평균 생산성은 6.5% 하락한 것으로 나타났다. 이를 효율성 변화와 기술변화로 나누어 본 결과, 효율성은 평균 4.7% 향상되었지만 기술변화율이 평균 10.8% 하락한 것으로 드러났다. 이 기간 중 정부출연연구기관의 구조조정과 경영합리화에 대한 외부 압력이 높았다는 점을 고려해 볼 때 추격효과로 해석되는 효율성 향상은 내부적 경영합리화의 긍정적 결과로 볼 수 있다. 그러나 기술변화율의 하락은 전체적인 생산성 저하에 영향을 주고 있어, 향후 급변하는 외부환경변화에 대응하여 핵심 연구인력 확충, 연구개발비 확대, 연구개발방식 변화 등 연구개발 기능 강화를 통한 기술진보를 도모해야 하는 정책적 시사점을 제공한다. 또한 개별 연구기관들도 생산성변화의 원인이 효율성변화인지 기술변화인지를 파악하여 내부 경영합리화 또는 연구개발 강화 등의 발전전략을 수립하여 생산성 제고를 위한 노력을 해야 한다.

The proliferation of health misinformation gained momentum amidst the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). People stuck in their homes, without work pressure, regardless of health concerns towards personal, family, or peer groups, consistently demanded information. People became engaged with misinformation while attempting to find health information content. This study used the content analysis method and analyzed 1,154 misinformation stories from four prominent signatories of the International Fact-Checking Network during the pandemic. The study finds the five main categories of misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These are 1) the severity of the virus, 2) cure, prevention, and treatment, 3) myths and rumors about vaccines, 4) health authorities' guidelines, and 5) personal and social impacts. Various sub-categories supported the content characteristics of these categories. The study also analyzed the emotional valence of health misinformation. It was found that misinformation containing negative sentiments got higher engagement during the pandemic. Positive and neutral sentiment misinformation has less reach. Surprise, fear, and anger/aggressive emotions highly affected people during the pandemic; in general, people and social media users warning people to safeguard themselves from COVID-19 and creating a confusing state were found as the primary motivation behind the propagation of misinformation. The present study offers valuable perspectives on the mechanisms underlying the spread of health-related misinformation amidst the COVID-19 outbreak. It highlights the significance of discerning the accuracy of information and the feelings it conveys in minimizing the adverse effects on the well-being of public health.
