Each Local public heal public health service center is in difficult situation on programing and performing of local public health service. The purpose of research is to inquire of the present state of local public health service and search long-term developmental methods. The first, in order to accomplish this purpose, I distributed questionnaires to Korean medical doctors, who are worked in public health service center and researched that. The second, based on these findings, I proposed planning for upcoming project for activating local public health service on Korean medicine.

This study investigated young children's spatial representation of geometrical relations based on their drawings of cube buildings. One hundred seventy-six children from 3 to 6 years of ages were selected from private kindergartens and day care centers. Their drawings were classified into 6 developmental levels: level 1 - drawings show only scribbles or several circles; level 2 - drawings show plane squares from a front view; level 3 - positional relations are included in the drawings; level 4 - separate-joint relations or the general outline of a cube building are shown; level 5 - rotated drawing and an additional square for hidden faces are attempted to represent the lateral view; level 6 - parallel lines are drawn to represent 3-dimensional structures. Three-to four-year-olds were between levels 1 and 2; four-to six-year olds were between levels 3 and 4; and children over six years old were between levels 3 and 5.

The purpose of this study was to survey mothers' child-rearing practices. A total of 288 middle class mothers having children aged three to four responded to the questionnaires on child-rearing practices. The results were as follows: 1. Mothers mostly gave birth to their children in th hospital, and only 13.9% of children were breast-fed within 6 months after birth. 2. Most of mothers began weaning within 6 months after birth and finished it within 24 months. 3. Toilet training generally started between 18 and 24 months, and mostly finished in 30 months. 4. The attitude of mothers on self-help training was moderately generous to their children. 5. Most of mothers took care of their children as primary caretakers except the employed mothers whose mothers and mothers-in-law mainly took the role. Implications of the study have been discussed in terms of developmental perspective.

The etiology of thrombosis is multifactorial and involves the interaction of inherited and acquired risk factors. Many neonatal thromboembolic disorders are iatrogenic and their incidence is likely to increase as advancements are made in neonatal care. Among pediatric populations, neonates have the highest risk for thrombosis secondary to the unique developmental hemostatic system, inherited prothrombotic disorders, and perinatal clinical conditions. Central venous and arterial catheters present the greatest risk for developing thromboembolisms in neonates. Both venous and arterial thromboses have been reported in a variety of anatomic locations. Prompt identification and appropriate management of thromboembolisms is critical for avoiding life-threatening complications. To date, few data are currently available regarding the contribution of inherited and acquired prothrombotic disorders in the pathogenesis of neonatal thromboembolism. In particular, a lack of information about neonatal thromboembolism in Korea has inhibited the development of appropriate guidelines for diagnosing thromboembolisms in neonates. An overview of the current knowledge about the role of inherited and acquired risk factors for neonatal thromboembolism in the West and a detailed description of common neonatal thromboembolic diseases is reviewed.

We observed seasonality and other characteristics of spawning in the greenling Hexagrammos agrammus off the coast of Tongyeong. Eleven spawning grounds were identified between November, 2013 and January, 2014. The fertilized eggs of H. agrammus were assigned to developmental stages I, II, III, and IV. Based on this classification, we showed that the spawning season extended from the end of October to mid-January. H. agrammus used diverse seaweed species attached to shallow bedrock as spawning substrata that provided good camouflage. Two to seven egg masses were fertilized around the holdfasts of individual seaweeds at depths of 1.2-4.0 m. We identified species-specific reproductive traits of H. agrammus during the spawning season, including strong parental care of the fertilized eggs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore and develop a deeper understanding of the experiences of mothers of premature children receiving rehabilitation therapy. Methods: The participants were 12 mothers with premature children who had received rehabilitation therapy for over 1 year. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted from July to August 2017. The data were analyzed through the phenomenological research method. Results: The participants' experience was structured into five thematic clusters: 'Regret and guilt that premature birth led to rehabilitation therapy', 'Burden of life in an endless tunnel', 'Changes in personal relationships surrounding me and my child', 'Meaning of new life through my child', and 'Desire to expand the rehabilitation of premature infants'. Conclusion: The results of this study will be helpful for developing family-centered care programs for premature infants at high risk of developmental disorders.

In this study of the formation of concepts of inclusion by non-disabled preschoolers in inclusive classroom settings, the researcher conducted participant observation and in-depth interviews from March 2004 through June 2005 in a single day care center offering inclusive education in Kyung-gi Province. The non-disabled children exhibited changes in their conception of disability through interactions with disabled children. The non-disabled children could be grouped into three categories: those who were wary of or disregarded disabled peers; those who disregarded disabled peers while helping them out; and those who actively cared for their disabled peers. Not all children went through the same developmental stages. The speed and degree of change in conception varied depending on the individual.

This study used Family Group Theraplay (Munns, 2005) to investigate the effects of enhancing interaction between child and mother on mitigating developmental risks for children growing up in low-income households. The subjects for the study were selected from among Community Child Care Centers and Community Welfare Centers in Seoul. The children were in the first, second, and third grades of elementary school. Eleven child-mother dyads participated in Family Group Theraplay once a week for a total of 12 45-minute sessions. The control group consisted of 9 child-mother dyads. The Family Group Theraplay program improved interaction between the children and their mothers and also reduced children's behavior problems and mothers' parenting stress.

Purpose: This study investigated the relationships between mothers' knowledge and practice level of cough etiquette and their children's practice level of cough etiquette as perceived by their mothers. Methods: This study was a descriptive correlational study. The data were collected from 160 mothers with preschoolers attending daycare centers and kindergartens in Gwangju, South Korea using self-reported questionnaires. Results: The correct answer rate for cough etiquette knowledge in mothers was 86.0%, mothers' average practice score was 33.65±4.14, and their children's average practice score was 28.39±4.85 out of 48. The correlation between mothers' cough etiquette knowledge and practice level was not statistically significant. However, mothers' cough etiquette practice was positively correlated with children's cough etiquette level as perceived by mothers (r=.35, p<.001). Conclusion: The development of a systematic cough etiquette education program and measurements for both mothers and children according to their developmental stages is important to effectively prevent respiratory infections.
