Purpose: This study investigated childhood cancer survivors' behavior related to a healthy lifestyle during their survival period by comparing reports between childhood cancer survivors and their parents. Methods: In this comparative descriptive study, a survey was conducted with a 33-item questionnaire and one open-ended question about areas for improvement. The participants comprised 69 childhood cancer survivors and 69 of their parents, for a total of 138. Results: The total mean healthy lifestyle score, on a 4-point Likert scale, reported by childhood cancer survivors was 2.97, while that reported by their parents was 3.03. No significant differences in children's healthy lifestyles were found between childhood cancer survivors' and their parents' reports (t=0.86, p=.390). For the open-ended question, the main keywords based on the results of degree and eigenvector centrality were "exercise", "unbalanced diet", and "food". These keywords were present in both the children's and parents' responses. Conclusion: Obtaining information on childhood cancer survivors' healthy lifestyles based on reports from themselves and their parents provides meaningful insights into the improvement of health care management. The results of this study may be used to develop and plan healthy lifestyle standards to meet childhood cancer survivors' needs.

Background: Rates of overweight and obese Australians are high and continue to rise, putting a large proportion of the population at risk of chronic illness. Examining characteristics associated with preference for a work-based weight-loss program will enable employers to better target programs to increase enrolment and benefit employees' health and fitness for work. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was undertaken at two Australian mining sites. The survey collected information on employee demographics, health characteristics, work characteristics, stages of behavior change, and preference for workplace assistance with reaching a healthy weight. Results: A total of 897 employees participated; 73.7% were male, and 68% had a body mass index in the overweight or obese range. Employees at risk of developing obesity-related chronic illnesses (based on high body mass index) were more likely to report preference for weight management assistance than lower risk employees. This indicates that, even in the absence of workplace promotion for weight management, some at risk employees want workplace assistance. Employees who were not aware of a need to change their current nutrition or physical activity behaviors were less likely to seek assistance. This indicates that practitioners need to communicate the negative effects of excess weight and promote the benefits of a healthy lifestyle to increase the likelihood of weight management. Conclusion: Weight management programs should provide information, motivation. and trouble-shooting assistance to meet the needs of at-risk mining employees, including those who are attempting to change and maintain behaviors to achieve a healthy weight and be suitably fit for work.

오늘날, 온라인 및 오프라인 상에서 무수히 많은 건강정보가 시시각각 쏟아지면서 대중들은 다양한 방법으로 건강에 대한 정보탐색이 가능해졌다. 본 연구에서는 만 0-3세 건강한 영유아들의 건강정보를 적극적으로 탐색하는 어머니들의 건강정보 탐색행동에 초점을 맞추었다. 24명의 미국인, 한국인, 미국에 거주하는 한인 이민자 어머니들과의 심층인터뷰를 통해, 그들이 아이에 대한 건강정보를 탐색할 때 어떠한 정보원들을 순차적으로 활용하는지 탐색경로를 시각적으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 어머니들의 건강정보탐색 경로는 아이의 건강상태에 따라 사용하는 정보원과 탐색주제의 측면에서 눈에 띄는 차이가 나타났다. 예를 들어, 아이가 아플 때는 특정 질병이나 증상에 대한 정보를 중점적으로 먼저 탐색하지만, 아이가 아프지 않을 때는 성장, 발육, 식단, 육아 등 다양한 주제의 정보를 탐색하는 것으로 나타났다. 나아가, 활용되는 정보원과 관련하여, 아이가 아플 때보다 아프지 않을 때 더욱 다양한 건강정보원들(예컨대, 공공도서관, 정부기관, 어린이집 교사 등)이 활용되는 것으로 나타났다. 뿐만 아니라, 각 어머니들 그룹에 따라 활용되는 정보원의 차이가 나타났다. 이를 활용하여, 국내외 정보 전문가들은 어떠한 정보서비스를 기획하고 제공할 수 있을지 논의해본다.

The objective of this study was to compare the healthy dining out attitude of restaurant diners by self-rated health status. Using healthy dining attitude and behavior questionnaire and a single question describing self-rated health status, the needs and importance of healthy dining out was detected. Mean age of the 182 respondents was 38.9${\pm}$11.37 years old and 37.4% of the respondents answered their mean monthly income was over 6,000,000won showing the subjects belonged in high income diners. The needs of healthy dining measured by five scales and offering healthy menus(3.80), labeling foods about original country(3.79), using environmentally friendly foodstuffs(3.71) and labeling nutrients on menu board(3.62) show higher score than others. A total of 76.4% of the respondents assessed their health status as 'good-rated Health' and 23.6% was 'poor-rated health'. There was no difference in frequency of eating out by self-perception of health status but, the 'poor-rated health' group need more nutrition information in restaurant specially for calorie(p<0.05), cholesterol(p<0.05), fiber(p<0.05), functional nutrients(p<0.001) showing significant differences comparing to 'good-rated health' group. In good-rated health group, selection of Korean cuisine for eating out was more frequent than the poor. The results shows the needs of healthy dining can be varied by diner's health status and therefore restaurateur should focus on understanding of the needs of diners with various health status.

An experimental protocol was developed and tested in this study in order to quantify the motor control capability of the trunk movement for both healthy subjects and low-back pain (LBP) patients. Information processing capacity (bits/second) (Fitts, 1954) and dynamic motor perfor- mance such as flexion/extension velocity and acceleration were measured as motor control parameters under the controlled range of motion (ROM). In this study, the original experimental propocol (Kim et al., 1993, 1994) was re-designed to reduce the length of the test via a series of statistical analyses for clinical application. The accuracy of the shortened protocol was statistically examined and indicated no difference conpared to the original protocol in terms of evaluating information processing capacity. This protocol was also tested among ten healthy subjects and ten LBP patients for validation purpose. The results showed that the information processing capacity was not significantly diffenent between two groups due to the large variation although there was an apparent mean difference. Average movement time showed a significant increase in LBP patients com- pared to healthy subjects. In conclusion, it was found that the new short experimental protocol could quantify the motor control capability of neuromuscular system of the trunk and also showed the applicability to patient population.

Purpose: This study was conducted to compare the postural habits, body image, and peer attachment of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and healthy adolescents, and to examine the correlation between body image and peer attachment in each group. Methods: Eighty-three adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and 83 healthy adolescents were recruited from 4 middle schools located in W city. Data were collected from November 22 to December 6 2010 using a structured questionnaire including items about postural habits, body image, and peer attachment. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, $X^2$-test, independent t-test and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. Results: Compared to healthy adolescents, adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis were more likely to use one hand, to lean back while seated, and to put weight on one leg while standing. The score for body image was significantly lower for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis compared to healthy adolescents, but peer attachment was not significantly different between the two groups. Body image was significantly correlated with peer attachment only for the adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Conclusion: Interventions to promote balanced postural habits in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis are needed. Information on body image and peer attachment for these adolescents should also be considered when developing interventions.
