Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the determinants of sterilization in South Korea. Methods : This study was based on the data from the Korea National Fertility Survey carried out in the year 2000 by the Korea Institute of Health and Social Affairs. The subjects of the analysis were 4,604 women and their husbands who were in their first marriage, in the age group of 15-49 years. The data were analyzed by multiple logistic regression analysis. Results : Consistent with the findings of previous studies, the woman#s age and the number of total children increased the likelihood of sterilization. In addition, the year of marriage had a strong positive association with sterilization. Interestingly, the number of surviving sons tended to increase the likelihood of sterilization, whereas the woman#s education level and age at the time of marriage showed a negative association with sterilization. Religion, place of residence, son preference, and the husband#s education level, age and type of occupation were not significant determinants of sterilization. Conclusions : The sex of previous children and lower level of education are distinct determinants of sterilization among women in South Korea. More studies are needed in order to determine the associations between sterilization rate and decreased fertility.

Objectives : The purpose of this research is to use data from the third year of the 4th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to study relationship between oral disease and chronic disease that generally persist from 6 months to over a year, or more specifically, circulatory disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Methods : Of the data from the third year of the 4th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 7,893 adults over 19 years old who completed medical examination, health survey, and nutrition survey were selected as the final research subjects. Relationship between chronic disease and oral disease was analyzed by cross tabulation (2-test) and logistic regression analysis using SPSSWIN ver 18.0. Results : 1. Differences in the rate of prevalence of periodontal disease and the rate of prevalence of missing teeth were statistically significant with respect to age, gender, marital status, education level, residential area, income level, and occupation. Rate of prevalence of dental caries was statistically significant with respect to age, education level, and income level. 2. After examining the relationship between existence of chronic disease as diagnosed by doctor with oral disease, rate of prevalence of periodontal disease and missing teeth, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, stroke, myocardial infarction, angina, diabetes, and osteoporosis showed statiscally significant difference. 3. Examination of rate of prevalence of chronic disease with respect to oral disease, periodontal disease and missing teeth exerted statistically significant influence on hypertension, hyperlipidemia, stroke, myocardial infarction, angina, diabetes, and osteoporosis (p<0.05), while dental caries did not have statistically significant effect. 4. Analysis of coupling effect of periodontal disease and missing teeth on chronic disease showed that they were related in all chronic diseases examined in this study (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, stroke, myocardial infarction, angina, diabetes, and osteoporosis) (p<0.05). Conclusions : Periodontal disease and missing teeth were found to increase the rate of prevalence of chronic disease.

This study aimed to examine the water consumption of urban households according to pro-environmental attitude for environmental protection. In contrast to preview studies, this study purposed to include various related independent variables, motive to environmental behavior, in special, in the model, and suggest informative data for research, education and strategies related to environmental protection. The data were from 665 housewives living in five urban areas. For the analysis of data, frequencies, means, percentages, GLM analysis, DMR test and Chi-square test were used. The main results of this study were as follows; 1. The respondents held high pro-environmental attitude that pro-environmental behaviors are important to protect environment. The pro-environmental attitude among the respondents were statistically different from the independent variables : spouse's occupation, living area, help of housekeeper, knowledge about environmental protection, convenience to check water consumption, and perception of voluntary conservative behavior among neighborhood 2. There were great difference on water consumption among respondents. The significant independent variables to have effects on water consumption were different between water consumption per person and higher/lower average water consumption. The relationships of pro-environmental attitude and motive to pro-environmental behavior with two water consumption as dependent variables were unique. Also, living areas and knowledge about environment protection were consistently important to explain the difference of water consumption.

The purposes of this study were to investigate demographic profiles between the consumer group under high time pressure(HTP) and the group under low time pressure(LTP) during the shopping, to examine the level of association between the fashion information sources and time pressure variable, to determine the difference in clothing benefits sought between HTP and LTP, and to determine the difference in purchase criteria. We distributed questionnaires to 600 women aged in 20-65. The reliable 562 questionnaires were used for a statistical analysis. Data analyses were conducted with SPSS program on t-test, cluster analysis, factor analysis, and Chi square test. We obtained the following results: There was a significant association between demographic variables such as age, occupation, education, residence area, & family cycle and time pressure variable. Fashion information sources were classified into 4 factors. HTP searched information on fashion products using more various sources than LTP did. There was also a significant difference between HTP and LTP in clothing benefit sought. Four clothing benefit factors such as trendy/social position, economic value, protection/comfort, and makeup of body shape were sought more by HTP than by LTP. In addition, HTP considered significantly more purchase criteria such as color/pattern, comfort, quality, suitability, material, sewing finishing, coordination, price, brand, easy care, and country of origin than LTP.

The purpose of this study was to determine the values of freshman nursing students and to determine changes each year over the four years of the study and to provide base data for curriculum and student guidance. The sample consisted of the freshman students who entered college of nursing from 1988 through 1991. The total sample was 358 students and data were collected during March of each of the four years. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA and Pearson Correlation to examine the relationship between the subcategories of values and Duncan multiple range test to examine the relationship between the scores for each year and the demographic data. The instrument used in this study was the Survey of Personal Values and Interpersonal Values modified by UngYun Hwang and KyungHae Lee in accordance with L.V. Gordon's instrument. This tool provides scores on practical mindedness, achievement, variety, decisiveness, orderliness, goal orientation, support, conformity, recognition, independence, benevolence and leadership. The results of the study were as follows: 1. The nursing freshman students surveyed had the highest score for goal orientation (21.44) and the lowest for variety (17.13) on the SPY (Survey of Personal Values) and the highest score for benevolence (21.19) and lowest for leadership (17.00) on the SIV (Survey of Interpersonal Values]. In accordance with the standarized scores for Gordon's Spy for other' woman college students, the students in the study were between the 78% ile - 97 % ile and were in the 72 % ile 97%ile for the SlV. 2. When t-test scores were compared, no significant variation was found between the years for each of the values (P< .05). 3. A significant variation was found on variety, between 1989 and 1991 (P< .05), and between 1988 and 1991. The highest score was in 1991 in both comparisons. Supporting was also higher for 1991 than for 1988 (P< .05). 4. Religion and occupation of father did not show any significant differences (P< .05). There was no significant difference in values according to the student's religion or the occupation of their father. Students born in the metropolitan area had a higher score on variety than those from the rural area and vice versa on regulartiy (P< .05). The results of this study show that there is a higher score on values for'! University freshman than shown for freshmen in other universities reported from other research, To keep or promote values, it is very important that there be a systematic strategy of education and special educational programs.

Background: With effective early treatments, many breast cancer patients suffer from psychological distress due to adverse effects and lifelong physical disfigurement. Our study aimed to evaluate the psychopathological profile of breast cancer patients in comparison with healthy women and explored demographic correlates. Method: We consecutively enrolled breast cancer patients who came to the hospital for follow-up or rehabilitation care after primary treatment, and healthy female relatives or friends of inpatients in the Cancer Institute of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between August 30, 2010 and January 1, 2012. Psychopathological profile was assessed based on the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R) for patients and controls. We compared demographics such as age, ethnicity, education, marriage, and occupation, and incorporated these data plus cancer status for the association with the general SCL-90-R index and scores for 9 major symptom dimensions in multiple regression analysis. Results: We surveyed a total of 291 female breast cancer patients and 531 healthy women. The average age was $55.1{\pm}6.40$ years for breast cancer patients and $43.1{\pm}12.8$ for healthy controls (P<0.01). The mean survival was 5.20 years for cancer patients (range, 0.60-9.90 years). There were statistically significant differences in education, marriage, and occupation between the two groups (P<0.01). General index ($1.45{\pm}0.45$ versus $1.32{\pm}0.37$) and 8 dimension scores (excluding anxiety) on SCL-90-R were significantly higher in patients (P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that the breast cancer status was positively correlated with general SCL-90-R index and 6 dimension scores (excluding the anxiety, phobic anxiety and paranoid ideation dimensions) (P<0.05). Regression coefficients ranged from 0.10 (depression) to 0.19 (somatization). Higher interpersonal sensitivity was noticed in single women compared to married women. Conclusions: Chinese patients with breast cancer demonstrate greater psychopathology compared to healthy controls. The breast cancer status is an independent contributing factor to the general psychopathological profile. Breast cancer patients should be given particular counseling and care to alleviate their psychological distress.

최근에는 최첨단 방사선 의료장비들이 경쟁적으로 개발 되고 있어 환자 진료에 그 이용이 더욱 확대되고 있으며, 방사선을 이용한 검사가 날로 증가하고 있는 추세로, 이는 방사선 피폭을 증가시키는 중요한 요인으로 인식이 되어 가고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2007년 11월17일부터 2008년 4월 19일까지 경상북도에 있는 8개 2차, 3차 의료기관에서 산부인과 내원 환자 555명을 대상으로 방사선 피폭에 대한 인식도를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 방사선의 인식에서는 연령과 학력에 따라 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 방사선 장치의 인식은 연령과 직업에 따라 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 정보 파악 분석에서도 연령과 직업에 따라 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 방사선의 유해성과 인식, 심리상태, 피폭방지에 대하여 각각 상관관계 분석을 시행한 결과 유해성은 인식과 0.572, 심리상태와 0.740, 피폭방지와 0.477의 상관관계를 가지며 통계적으로 매우 유의한 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.01), 방사선 장치와 정보 파악과는 유의성이 없는 것으로 나타났다(p>0.05). 본 연구 결과 방사선에 민감한 산부인과 내원 환자들의 입장에서 신체적 위협보다는 정신적인 위협요소가 더욱 더 많이 포함하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 방사선을 취급하고 관리 하는 방사선사는 환자나 보호자에게 방사선의 인체 유해 정도를 정확하게 인식 시켜 줄 필요성이 있다고 할 수 있다.

개발도상국에서 선진국으로의 국제결혼의 가장 중요한 동기로는 경제적으로 보다 여유로운 삶의 추구를 들 수 있다. 그러나 이들 결혼이주자들의 결혼 전후의 경제적 상황을 비교분석한 경험적 연구는 전무하다고해도 과언이 아니다. 본 연구는 한국의 베트남 여성 결혼이주자를 사례로 결혼 전후의 경제상황의 변화에 대한 인식을 그들의 사회 경제적 특성과 관련하여 분석하였다. 한국의 베트남 여성 결혼이주자의 결혼동기 역시 경제적인 이유인 경우가 약 80%정도를 차지하였다. 그러나 실제로 이들 가구의 경제적 수준은 상대적으로 매우 낮다. 이를 반영하듯 이들의 절반 정도는 결혼 전후 경제적 상황이 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 인식하고 있으며, 결혼 후 경제적 상황이 나아졌다고 인식하는 비율이 그렇지 않다는 비율보다는 4배 이상 높았다. 이러한 결혼 전후의 경제상황의 변화에 대한 인식과 그들의 사회 경제적 특성과의 관계에서는 본인과 남편의 교육수준, 한국어 능력, 직장 유무, 남편의 소득 수준 그리고 가계관리 여부, 한국에서의 거주기간과는 정(正)의 상관관계가 있었다. 그러나 베트남에서의 직업 유무 및 베트남으로의 송금 여부와는 상관관계가 별로 크지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 베트남 여성 결혼이주자의 대부분은 현재 본인의 가족뿐만 아니라 베트남 가족의 경제적 여건을 제고하기 위한 취업에 대한 의욕이 매우 높았다. 따라서 이들의 취업을 위한 보다 구체적인 정책적 대안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
