The analysis was conducted by using 135 cases of 624 cases. When considering only the elderly and making comparisons between the urban areas and the rural areas the following data was produced. In regard to patients with acute drug intoxication, the main substance of choice was pesticides. Cases of acute drug intoxication are definitely higher for those categorized as the rural elderly (75.0%) when compared with those categorized as the urban elderly (44.1%). The male to female ratio, those living together as a family, past suicide attempts, mental state and sobriety condition when they came, monthly distribution etc. between the two groups did not demonstrate a difference between them. In regard to reasons given for acute drug intoxication, suicide was the highest at 60.7% of the cases. When comparing accidental reasons for poisoning, the urban elderly, at 34.2% of their cases, were higher than in the rural elderly, at 23.7%. After first aid was administered, the admission rate was higher for the rural elderly (47.4%) than for the urban elderly (33.9%).

본 연구는 국내 외 주요정세를 살펴볼 때 아직까지 무인항공기에 대한 실질적인 테러가 발생하지는 않았지만 앞으로 발생 될 수 있다는 점을 감안하여 이에 대한 한국 내 무인항공기를 이용한 자폭테러 발생 가능성에 대한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 연구를 수행하였으며, 연구의 결과를 통한 대응책을 종합해 보면 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 첫 번째, 무인항공기에 의한 자폭테러에 대비하기 위한 기존 항공법안의 개선과 테러방지법의 제정이 필요하다. 두 번째, 한국 내 무인항공기를 이용한 테러에 대비한 적합한 유관기관과의 통합대응체계를 통한 사회안전망의 구축이 절실하다고 판단된다. 세 번째, 인터넷 등 매체를 통하여 무인항공기 폭탄제조 장비의 구입 및 정보수집이 가능하기 때문에 이를 전파하는 인터넷을 사전에 차단해야 한다. 넷째, 한국이 다문화사회로 전환되고 있는 시점에서 국내 외국인 체류자와 소수민족, 이민 2세 등에 대한 사회적 편견과 차별적인 인식의 개선과 인종차별법 등을 통한 보호가 절실히 필요하다.

Obtaining an available information on health concerns of parents of school-age children and furthermore developing the sound policy for the public on health education, this study was conducted during Nov.-Dec. 1985 in the four selected areas; Seoul, large, middle and small city, and farming and fishery villages for 3,337 parents of schoolchildren in Korea. In this study, parents complected a questionnaire containing 34 items related to health concerns(e.g. drinking alcohol, air pollution, cancer, etc. see Table 4 and Fig. 2). For each health items, respondents were asked to indicate a choice between three levels of concern; 'Very high concern,' 'Moderate concern,' 'Little concern', and 'No opinion'. An analysis of responses indicated that most of the top ten health concerns identified by parents as cancer, abortions among high school students, medical malpractice, water pollution, traffic accidents, air pollution, suicide of parents and homicide of offspring, heart disease, venereal diseases, and high blood pressure in that order. Those health problems about which respondents were least concerned were more closely related to the individual, such as drinking alcohol, smoking, tooth decay, gum disease, underweight, overweight. Of greater concern were more such as water pollution, abortions among high school students, air pollution, accidents, medical malpractice. For cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, various accidents, environmental pollution, parents showed high concern, however, for health issues which contributed as causative influences such as lung cancer from smoking and liver cirrhosis and traffic accidents from drinking alcohol showed less concern. Relationship between parent's residential areas, educational level and sex distribution and health concern showed little difference, however, for these issues parents identified as relatively high concern. Most parents stowed more concern in sex-related of family-related health issues such as abortions among high school students, suicide of parents and homicide of offspring.

연구배경: 최근 우리나라의 자살문제는 전 세계적으로 가장 심각하다. 본 연구는 한국 성인의 자살생각과 관련된 요인을 확인하고 사회경제적 박탈과의 연관성을 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 방법: 제17차 한국복지패널(2022) 원자료를 사용하였고, 모든 질문에 응답한 20세 이상 성인 10,065명을 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 자료분석은 SAS ver. 9.4 프로그램(SAS Institute Inc., USA)을 사용하였다. 사회경제적 박탈과 자살생각의 연관성을 알아보기 위하여 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 주관적 건강상태와 성별에 따른 차이를 확인하기 위하여 층화 분석을 실시하였다. 결과: 사회경제적 박탈이 1단위 증가할 때마다 자살생각은 1.5배 증가하였다(odds ratio [OR], 1.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.37-1.61). 주관적 건강상태가 좋은 사람은 사회경제적 박탈이 증가한 각 단위별로 자살생각이 1.3배 높은 것으로 나타났으며(OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.12-1.52), 주관적 건강상태가 좋지 않은 사람은 1.6배 높은 것으로 나타났다(OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.43-1.75). 결론: 사회경제적 박탈이 증가할수록 자살생각은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 우리나라 성인의 자살률을 낮추기 위해서는 보다 다차원적인 박탈감 수준과 주관적 건강상태를 개선할 수 있는 정책방안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.

The research subjects were 1,217 people who were over 65 years old and completed an oral examination and oral questionnaire survey. The results were as follows. First, mental health problems arise in people with an oral health status designated as 'bad' or when they feel 'very uncomfortable' chewing or speaking. Second, the quality of life decreases as problems with chewing and speaking increase. The results reveal that to reduce problems of mental health(stress, depression, suicide) and to enhance the quality of life, there is a need to develope diverse programs for preventive treatment and oral health education.
