Data were collected from Sep. 1 to Nov. 30, 2005 using a questionnaire survey, medical records, face-to-face interviews and observations. Collected data were analyzed in terms of frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation through $x^2$-test and t-test under SPSS WIN 10.0 Program. Result: Out of the total subjects, 59.3% were medical aid clients and the remaining 40.7%, health insurance ones. The hospitalized period and frequency of the former group were 38.0 days and 4.0 times, respectively, while those of the latter, 37.7 and 3.4.

본 연구는 Health-related quality of life instrument with 8 items (HINT-8)을 중심으로 만성폐쇄성폐질환 (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, COPD) 환자의 건강관련 삶의 질 정도와 영향요인을 파악하기 위해 2019년 국민건강영양조사에서 폐기능 검사를 수행한 만 40세 이상의 성인 중 1초간 노력성 호기량(forced respiratory volume in 1 second, FEV₁) 대 노력성 폐활량(forced vital capacity)을 측정하여 비율이 0.7 미만인 자 중 건강관련 삶의 질 측정도구인 HINT-8에 누락이 있는 3명을 제외한 총 451명을 대상으로 하였다. SAS program을 이용하여 실수와 가중백분율, 평균과 표준편차, 일반선형모델을 이용하여 분석한 결과, HINT-8 index와 EuroQol five-dimensions 3-level version (EQ-5D-3L) index 두 도구 모두 COPD 환자에게서 건강관련 삶의 질을 측정하는 도구로서 적절하였다. HINT-8을 중심으로 COPD 환자의 건강관련 삶의 질 영향요인은 연령, 성별, 소득, 흡연상태, 동반질환, 스트레스, 주관적 건강상태이었다. COPD 환자의 건강관련 삶의 질을 개선하기 위해서는 금연교육 및 스트레스 관리 등이 포함되어야 하며, 고령, 저소득층 등 대상자의 특성에 맞는 개별화된 관리프로그램이 개발되고 적용되어야 할 것이다.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors related to fear of falling (FOF) in different age groups from community-dwelling mid to late-adults. Methods: To identify the factors related to FOF, data of 162,684 adults over 45 years of age from 2019 Community Health Survey was analyzed using logistic regression with complex samples. Results: Factors related to FOF found in all age groups were sex, previous experience of falls, physical activity levels over moderate intensity, subjective health status, number of chronic diseases, stress, depression, and cognitive decline. In the 45-64 age group, the FOF was significantly higher in the groups of low education level and low monthly household income. In the 65-74 and over 75 age groups, the FOF was significantly higher in the groups of not living with spouse and walking not practiced. Conclusion: We suggests that understanding of risk factors and early detection of fall risk patients in each age group are necessary to establish and apply tailored fall prevention programs for prevention and management of the FOF in community-dwelling mid to late-adults.

유소년 약시환자의 생활환경특성을 알아보기 위해 2013년 9월 2일부터 11월 23일까지 약시진단을 받은 만 3세에서 12세의 안과 내원환자의 보호자 104명을 대상으로 설문조사하여 결과를 분석하였으며, 약시 진단시기는 만 4세(28.8%)때 가장 많이 진단을 한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 보호자 연령이 높을수록 약시 진단시기가 늦은 것으로 나타났으며(p<.01), 부모의 교육수준이 높을수록 약시 진단시기가 빠른 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 위의 결과에 따라 유소년약시의 최초 진단시기와 생활환경 특성이 서로 밀접한 관련이 있음을 알 수 있으며 사회 환경적 요인과 생활환경 특성이 관련 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 향후 지역의 소외계층이나 직업, 연령, 학력의 지형적인 분포에 따라 적극적인 계몽과 사회제도적 개선으로 국민 안건강 향상에 디딤돌이 되었으면 한다.

Purpose: The aims of this study were to describe general characteristics and needs of home health care, and to find the differences between home health care needers and non-needers. Method: In this study, 642 subjects participated who lived in Muan, Jollanam-do. Data were collected in August 2001 using a self-reported questionnaire. The questionnaire was a revised and simplified form of the Organization of Community Health System Program at the Seoul National University. Collected data were analyzed through Kruskal-Wallis test. t-test. and Chi-squire for cross-sectional analysis. Result: The average age of the subjects was 52.6 years and 33.3% of them aged over 65 years. Twenty six percent of them had chronic degenerative diseases. The percentages of hypertension patients and D.M. patients were 6.4% and 2.5%, respectively. The number of family members was 2.95 on the average, 2.19 in cases of families with the elderly and 3.33 in cases of families without the elderly. The rate of disability of the elderly was 10.5%. Marital status (p=.000), the number of family members (p=.000), education (p=.000), job (p=.000) and health insurance (p=.027) were significantly different between home care needers and non-needers. Home care needers had less living expenses (p=.001), more frequent hospital admissions (p=.004), higher chronic disease rate (p=.000) and more frequent visits to public health center (p=.027) than non-needers. Home care needers who wanted free service were twice as many as non-needers. Conclusion: Home care need was very high in rural areas and the needers had worse characteristics (low educational level. low income, no job and no family). Therefore, it is necessary to develop cheaper and more accessible services for home care needers in rural areas.

Background: This study explored perspectives of health-care providers on childhood cancer treatment in Kenya. Materials and Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 104 health-care providers in January and February 2013. Results: Seventy six percent of the health-care providers believed cancer to be curable. More doctors than other health-care providers had this positive opinion (p=0.037). The majority of health-care providers (92%) believed that most children with cancer will not be able to finish their treatment due to financial difficulties. They considered that prosperous highly-educated parents adhere better with treatment (88%) and that doctors adhere better with treatment for prosperous highly-educated parents (79%). According to 74% of health-care providers, quality of care is better for prosperous highly-educated parents (74%). Most health-care providers reported giving more explanation (71%), work with greater accuracy (70%) and use less difficult vocabulary (55%) to prosperous more educated families. Only 34% of health-care providers reported they feel more empathy towards patients from prosperous families. Reasons for non-adherence with the protocol according to health-care providers are: family refuses drugs (85%), inadequate supply of drugs at pharmacy (79%), child looks ill (75%), and financial difficulties of parents (69%). Conclusions: Health-care providers' health beliefs and attitudes differ for patients with families having high versus low socio-economic backgrounds.

This study was conducted between October 1, 1998, and December 31, 1998, in order to provide basic data to develop better self-management educational programs for systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) patients. In the study, the extent of each patients knowledge on the disease and their learning needs about it were examined for 100 lupus inpatients and outpatients at the Kangnam St. Marys Hospital. Data were collected by using questionnaires to those patients. Frequencies, percentage, average, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, and Duncans multiple range test were examined through the SAS program. The result of study follows : 1) The average score of patients knowledge on the disease was 15.7 (range, 7-20; standard deviation, 2.74). Subjects scored higher as far as the extent of their knowledge in the following categories : management of daily life, diet, characteristics of the disease, risk factors, and medication. Two categories shared the highest percentage of correct answers : 99% of subjects correctly identified that fatigue and stress aggravate symptoms of lupus and symptoms of lupus vary among individuals in range and type. However, when subjects were asked if patients should get a regular examination by an ophthalmologist every 4-6 months while they are on medication to treat rashes, lupus can be completely cured, and contraceptives that include a female hormone (estrogen) are good as contraceptive methods, the percentages of correct answers were low (32%, 31%, and 20%, respectively). In terms of subjects knowledge about the disease by their general characteristics, single subjects had more knowledge about the disease than married subjects did (t=2.14, p=0.0353). The extent of knowledge also varied by monthly income (F=4.96. p=0.0097). Those with more formal education had more knowledge about lupus than those who had less formation education did (t=2.95, 0.0039). Additionally, those who were satisfied with their education about the disease had better knowledge about it than those who were dissatisfied with their education did (t=2.71, p=0.0090). 2) The extent to which lupus patients wanted to be educated about the disease was, on average, 64.5 (range, 46-75; standard deviation, 7.91). Areas for which patients requested education are listed here in order : risk factors, sexual lives and patients associations. Patients who had been hospitalized demonstrated wanting more education than those who had not been did(t=3.73, p=0.0003). The extent to which they wanted the information was different by the number of educational sessions they had (F=3.98, p=0.0249). In conclusion, the results above would be considered when the education programme is planned for SLE patients.
