  • To date, there was no controlled-study regarding awareness and knowledge of colorectal cancer in the Turkish population. We therefore designed a questionnaire consisting of items related to socio-demographic parameters, medical and family history and questions of awareness and knowledge about colorectal cancer for use in a descriptive cross-sectional study. An interviewer-administered technique was applied and 450 subjects were interviewed in the outpatient clinics at Near East University Hospital. Among all subjects, 337 were found to be eligible for the study group. Exclusion criteria were age below 18 years, any cancer history, family history of colorectal cancer, current colorectal problems, history of any diagnostic or therapeutic interventions for colorectal diseases. All participants stated that they heard about colorectal cancer. When asked about the lifetime risk of colorectal carcinoma, only 25.4% of women and 37.9% of men estimated correctly. Univariate analysis revealed that the total awareness score was significantly correlated with age, marital status, parenthood and fecal occult blood testing history. On multivariate analysis of independent predictors for awareness of colorectal cancer were found to be history of fecal occult blood testing, age and marital status were found to be the most important determinants. As a conclusion, opportunistic screening with fecal occult blood test by physicians from non-gastrointestinal specialties not only helps to reduce the mortality but also increases the awareness of colorectal cancer.

  • Objective : The aim of this study was to take a census of elementary school children who have atopic dermatitis(AD) especially the residents of Je-Cheon. Method : We conducted a questionnaire survey of the elementary school children in Je-Cheon who have atopic dermatitis. 96 patients with AD were involved in the survey. The questionnaire was made up of their family history, past history, weaning food, breast-fed or not, dietary treatment and Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index(CDLQI), etc. The student's T-test was used for statistical analysis. Results : Parents and siblings brothers and sisters past history has an effect on patients with AD. With regard to past history of patients, allergic rhinitis was the most common ailment. Formula feeding was common in the group under 6 months of age and the mean age of the start of weaning was 7.25 months. Fruit juice and weaning food of powder type were the first weaning foods in this study. Many parents introduced a grain diet, live diet, bone - soup, egg, milk, cheese and bean curd to their children under 12 months of age. A restricted diet was the most common dietary treatment method in this study. The highest scoring question for CDLQI was itching; the lowest one was related to bullying. Conclusion : We analyzed the patients' family history, past history, weaning food, dietary treatment and Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index(CDLQI), etc. Through this survey, we better understand the actual conditions of elementary school children who had AD in Je-Cheon.

  • This article addresses potential barriers to sustained employment for rural low-income mothers. Drawing from a two panel longitudinal sample of 240 families from the Rural Families Speak project, it examines the extent to which human capital and family factors were related to these mothers' ability to be employed. Comparisons are made between mothers, who over a three-year period, were continuously unemployed, intermittently employed, or stably employed. Many of these rural low-income mothers faced multiple individual and family barriers that impacted their labor force participation. Notably food insecurity, mental health, caring for a young child, housing, and a family history of welfare were associated with less stable employment. The implications for public policy and service delivery are discussed.

  • Purpose: In this study, the general characteristics of subjects who spent more than a certain amount of cost for general medical examination at the general hospital health promotion center, and the characteristics of disease, family history, and lifestyle (smoking, alcohol, physical activity, oral care) significantly differed in cost expenditure. We intend to provide basic data for establishing an appropriate marketing strategy for comprehensive examination. Method: It was conducted for users who received comprehensive checkups at a health promotion center at a general hospital in Seoul. The research data collection period is for 979 people who performed comprehensive examinations from January 2019 to December 2020. In order to carry out a comprehensive examination, a questionnaire before the examination was distributed to the subjects who visited the hospital to prepare, and the investigation was conducted in a way that the subjects of the investigation directly filled in. Results: There was a significant influence on the difference in expenditure for comprehensive examination according to the gender, age, and type of health insurance of the subject. In addition, there were significant differences in expenditure according to the presence or absence of disease and the type of family history. Weight loss, smoking history, smoking period, smoking frequency, drinking history, and drinking frequency all had significant effects on cost expenditure. Also, strength training and oral treatment management showed a significant effect on the cost of comprehensive examination. The number of flossing and interdental brushing was also found to have a significant effect. According to the results of multiple regression analysis, disease history (t=2.683, p<.01) and mean smoking frequency (t=4.315, p<.001) appeared to have the most significant effect on expenditure statistically. In other words, when the subject has a history of disease and when the average number of smoking is large, it means that the comprehensive examination cost is remarkably large. Conclusion: By using these contents, hospitals can further refine the marketing of the examination center. In addition, a more convenient and specialized process should be used by patients by linking the general medical department and the examination center well. In terms of management of operating medical institutions, this can be expected to create patients and increase profits.

  • 본 연구는 노인의 여가력, 가족상태의 융 복합적 접근을 통한 노인의 우울성향을 심층적으로 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구는 65세 이상(평균 73.5세)의 여성노인 20명이 참여하였으며, 대상자의 여가력 분석은 심층면접법으로 총 10문항으로 구성된 구조화된 질문을 통해 여가력을 파악하였으며 가족상태 설문은 가족의 형태, 동거여부 등 총 7문항으로 구성된 설문지를 사용하였다. 우울증 측정은 Geriatric Depression Scrennng; GDS)를 이용하였다. GDS결과에 따라 우울집단과 정상집단을 구분하였으며, 여가력, 가족상태를 통해서 파악한 노인의 우울성향을 비교한 결과는 다음과 같다. 여가력에서 여가의 만족도가 우울만족도에 긍정적 영향을 미쳤으며(F(2,17)=3.989, p<.05), 반면 여가력이 낮거나, 여가동반자가 없는 경우 높은 퇴행적 우울증상을 보였다. 가족상태 중에 본인의 질환 종류에 따라 우울성향에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었으며(F(3,16)=4.534, p<.05), 그 외 동거유무, 동거인의 건강상태가 우울성향의 평균값의 차이는 높게 나타났다. 결과 노인의 우울 증상은 표현력이 부족하여 우울성향을 쉽게 파악할 수 없으나 오랜 과거력과 주변의 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 나타나 가족의 범주에서 확대하여 지역사회 네트워크와의 관계와 우울에 관한 연구도 필요할 것으로 보인다. 또한, 여가에 있어서도 신체적, 정서적, 사회적 활동의 형태, 활동의 방법, 활동의 정도를 중심으로 한 일회적인 연구가 아니라 종단적 연구를 통해 향후 노인의 여가참여의 질을 높일 수 있는 융복합적 후속연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • It is identified that an initial person who built of 'Seoul Gyedong Modernized Hanok(former Min Hyeong-gi house)' used as 'Bukchon Culture Center' in present, was not Min Hyeong-gi, but his wife, Yu Jin-gyeong, and she built it when 8 years went on after his death(1879~1973), and the construction year was at the gate of Chuseok in 1921. Yu Jin-gyeong was Head Family's Eldest Daughter-in-law in family of Yeo Heung-min who was an influential person at the late Joseon Dynasty and was widow who had only son for 3 generations. And she built this house and moved to gain daughter and live futher grandchilds together in law in new nest. It is arranged that an annex surrounds with main building as the central figure. And this house emulates Yeonkeong-dang in backyard of the Changdeok Palace for 'preservation of main building' and Chim-bang-ga-toe applied on a bedroom in a palace is applied around nobleman family's the main room. It is rare case and expresses that a palace factor is borrowed. Yu Jin-gyeong's house is that a tradition Hanok is adjusted closely in city and central and basing mode as 'protective bedding' and building concept as 'a noble and protective architecture' is realized. So it has a character that development of Hangrang architecture is appeared and Head Family's Eldest Daughter-in-law widow of modern upper class had a special benefit. As well as, a meaning that it is experimental house based on tradition and is build of Hanok with housekeeping as the central figure for appear a form which has minimal Hangrang for housekeeping in yangban family of modern city, can be found.

  • Since 1980s' Korea had a great change on the housing culture by the supply of multi-family housing stock both on the macro-social and micro-social aspects. The purpose of this study was to examine the changes and the characteristics of housing environments which were estimated its modernization, and to examine the personal life under the change of housing environments. So I would like to revaluation the characteristics of modernization between the 1980s' and 1990s'. Therefore references were made to various papers, reports, the statistical data, newspaper reports, advertisements and magazines during that period. As a result, this paper came to the remarks as follows: 1. The success of modernization on the housing environments since 1980s' was the Quantitative growth of housing supply by multi-family housing. In spite of this, the Quantitative growth of housing supply and the improvement in Quality like housing space per person had the characters which was 'out of valence on the division'. 2. The Qualitative improvement of modem housing life by the development of housing industries could be said the improvement owing to develop of facilities and equipments. The introduction of up-to-date facilities and equipments realized the convenience and the rationality of living in the house. Although the improvement on the physical things deteriorated the modernized spaces to uniform things by commercial strategies. 3. The life in the multi-family housing which gives protection to personal privacy was settle down on the extremely individualized life without common things within the neighbors. Multi-family housing which was a production of process of modernization came true the growth in an appearance and the variety in the inside, but for the aspect of residents' everyday life in the multi-family housing, the Korean traditional relationship was collapsed and a sense of incompatibility within the residents was created.

  • 생활양식과 혈압의 관련성에 대해 조사하기 위하여 1996년 6월부터 9월 사이 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원 산업의학과에서 건강검진을 받은 사람 가운데 설문조사를 실시하여 성실히 응답한 30세 이상의 성인 남녀 중 고혈압환자 130명(남자 97명, 여자 33명)과 정상혈압자 150명(남자 70명, 여자 80명)을 대상으로 연구를 시행하였다. 조사한 고혈압의 위험요인들로 는 연령, 혈중 총 콜레스테롤, 공복시 혈당, 고혈압 가족력, 음주량, 흡연 여부, 식염의 섭취정도, 주중 육류 섭취 횟수, BMI, 하루 커피 음용량과 주중 규칙적인 운동 횟수가 포함되었다. 고혈압의 위험요인이라고 알려진 각 변수들의 단순 분석 결과, 남자에서는 BMI만이 유의한 차이가 있어, 고혈압군에서 비만인 사람이 더 많았다. 여자에서는 주당 육류 섭취 횟수만이 고혈압군과 정상혈압군에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 다중로지스틱회귀분석으로 교차비를 구한 결과 남자에서는 공복시 혈당, 혈중 총 콜레스테롤, 고혈압의 가족력, 음주, 식염, BMI가 고혈압의 위험을 증가시키고, 커피의 음용 및 운동이 고혈압의 위험을 감소시키는 변수였으나 통계학적으로 유의한 변수는 공복시 혈당, 고혈압의 가족력, 식염 및 BMI였다. 여자에서는 고혈압의 위험을 증가시키는 변수로서 혈중 총 콜레스테롤, 고혈압의 가족력, BMI, 육류 섭취가 있었고, 이 중 부모 중 한 쪽이 고혈압 환자인 경우, 부모 모두 고혈압 환자일 경우, BMI 및 육류섭취가 고혈압의 유의한 위험요인이었다. 이 연구에서는 여러 변수 중 BMI의 증가가 남녀 모두에서 고혈압의 위험을 증가시키는 유의한 요인이었는데 BMI자체에 영향을 미치는 유전적 혹은 생활양식을 추가한 연구 및 식이 섭취에 있어 용량-반응 관계를 설명할 수 있는 객관적 방법을 통한 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.며, 병원이 4.9% 감소하여 감소폭이 가장 켰다. 총 상병건수에서 고액진료건수가 차지하는 비율은 67.6% 증가하였고, 암환자건수는 8.9% 증가하였으며, 장기입원환자가 차지하는 비율은 오히려 1.2% 감소하였다. 총 진료비 규모는 62.2% 증가하였으며, 고액상병진료비가 차지하는 비율은 5년간 129.9% 증가하였고, 암환자 진료비는 68.5%, 장기입원환자의 진료비는 59.4% 증가하였다. 상병당 입원진료비 및 재원기간을 1989년 수가로 환산하여 변화 추이를 보면, 상병당 총 진료비는 매우 완만한 증가를 보이고, 약제비는 오히려 약간 감소하는 경향이었고, 진료행위료는 지속적으로 상승하는 추세였다. 재원기간은 완만하게 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 연령구간별로 구분하여 분석한 결과 진료비와 재원기간과는 연령에 관계없이 비슷한 상관계수를 보였으나, 의료보험료 수준과 연령구간별 진료비는 상관계수는 매우 작았으며, 연령군별로 큰 차이는 없었다. 시계열 분석 결과 향후 약제비는 매우 완만한 감소 추세를 보일 것이고, 진료행위료와 총 진료비는 지속적으로 증가할 것으로 예측되었으며, 재원기간은 13.0일로 변화가 없을 것으로 예측되었다. 이 연구에서는 진료행위료의 증가가 총 진료비의 상승을 주도하고 있는 것으로 생각된다. 이는 첨단 의료기기나 신기술의 도입에 의한 것으로 의료기관들의 서비스 다각화 전략과도 관련 있는 것으로 생각된다. 또한 의료이용량 즉 입원상병건수의 증가가 진료비 상승에 영향을 많이 미치는 것으로 판단되며 전체 인구 집단의 의료비 상승요인과는 다른 양상을 보일 수 있으므로 노인 인구에 대한 의료비 절감 대책은 다른 연령층과 구별하여 적용할 필요성이 있다고 볼 수 있다. 향후 노인 연령 군별 질병양상의 변화와 서비스량 및 변화에 대한 연구를 개인특성 자료나 의료기관의 특성 등과 연계하여 포괄적인
