  • As a product of poverty, health means the physical, mental and social instability caused by poverty. High mortality, high morbidity, and unsatisfied needs for medical care indicate the health condition of poor people. These indicators are related to the social and psychological property. This study is to develop an effective method of nursing in the poor family which is an essential unit in the nursing field of the community and to which a fundamental approach is need as a top priority. We can make such a study, though partially, by revealing the relationship among the Health-value, Health Locus of Contol, and the Level of Self esteem. We randomly sampled 243 women who are participating in the nursing department of the comnnity nursing centers in Seoul. We investigated by using questionaries and made an analysis on the result by SAS program. The result of this investigation can summarized as follows : 1. The average age of the subjects investigated is 43.4 and the participation rate in the economic activity is as high as 49.4%. Most of them are paid daily. The average members of the family are 4.28 persons, and 80.2% of which are nuclear families. The type of housing is as follows:51.4% are monthly-rent houses. Rent houses represent 23.5%. And 43.6% of the subjects graduate the high schools 2. The level of self-esteem possessed by the subjects is 37.17. The quality of task performance(3.46) and the morality(3.53) are low as compared with the other qualities. 3. In relation to the locus of control, internality is 22.39, the influence of powerrful others represents 20.24, and the effect of chance occurance is 16.41. 4. The orderings of value scale are the physical and mental health, comfortable life, happiness, mental peace, and pleasure. The lowest order is social recognition. 5. Considering in relation to the self-esteem and the locus of control, we found out that there is a negative relationship among the self-esteem, the influence of powerful others. The lower the level of self-esteem is, the higher the influence of powerful others is. There is also a negative relationship among the detailed items such as the qualities, and the positive attitude. 6. In a significant test in the general characters of the subjects and in the level of self-esteem, we can obtain the follwing results. The higher the economic level is, the higher the level of self-esteem is. And the higher the level of satisfaction with life is, the higher the level of self-esteem is. 7. In the locus of control, the higher the economic level is, the higher the internality is. 8. In the health-level, 75.72% represent the high health -level. And the group which has the low satisfaction with life represents the high level of health-value(81.6%). With these results, we can conclude that the level of self-esteem possessed by the poor women living in the city is high and that they have the multi-dimemsional health-value even though they are living in the poor condtions. Traditionally, the poverty has been recognized as an unfavorale factor in the health care. But this study shows that the poverty is no longer an unfavorale factor and, on the contrary, it has a potential power with which people can improve their health by possessing the high self-esteem and the high health value. The ultimate purpose which the nursing task of the community has is to make the patients keep and improve their own health. So, when the nurses approach the poor patients, the nurses should put an emphasis on the individual responsibilities of the patients, and respect their own health value.

  • 연구배경: CCAM은 드문 하부 호흡기의 선천성 발달 기형으로 대부분은 생후 2년 내에 진단되는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 그리고 매우 드물게 성인이 되어서 호흡기 합병증이 생기거나 무증상인 채로 우연히 진단된 증례들이 보고되었다. 우리는 본원에서 수술을 통해 조직학적 소견으로 확진된 6명의 성인 CCAM 환자들을 기술하였고 이들의 임상적, 방사선학적 및 조직학적 특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 방 법: 2001년 8월부터 2007년 2월까지 본원에서 성인기에 수술을 통한 조직학적 소견으로 확진된 6명의 CCAM 환자를 확인하였다. 의무기록 검토를 통해 그들의 인구학적 및 임상적 특성, 흉부 방사선 자료 그리고 조직학적 특성을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결 과: 6명의 CCAM 환자 중 4명이 여자였고 진단 당시의 평균 나이는 23.5세(범위 18~39세)였다. 내원 당시 주요 임상 양상은 하부 호흡기 감염, 객혈, 그리고 기흉이었다. 흉부 전산화 단층촬영을 보면 5명의 환자는 공기 액체층을 동반한 다발성 격막을 가진 낭종성 병변을 가지고 있었고 나머지 1명에서는 우상엽에 공기 액체층을 동반한 다발성 공동성 병변과 주위에 다발성 침윤성 병변을 가지고 있었다. 모든 환자는 폐엽 절제 수술을 받았는데 5명은 개흉술을 통한 폐엽 절제술을 그리고 1명은 흉강경을 이용한 폐엽 절제술을 시행 받았다. 조직학적 검사결과 Stocker씨 분류법에 따라 3명의 환자는 1형 그리고 나머지 3명은 2형으로 분류되었다. 모든 환자의 검체에서 동반된 악성 종양의 증거는 없었다. 결 론: CCAM이 하부 호흡기 감염, 기흉, 객혈 등의 다양한 호흡기 합병증과 악성화를 일으킬 가능성이 있고 수술적 치료와 연관된 합병증이 거의 없기 때문에 CCAM으로 의심되거나 확실치 않은 폐의 낭종성 혹은 공동성 병변이 있을 때 정확한 진단과 적절한 치료를 위해서 반드시 수술적 치료가 필요하다.

  • Introduction: Noises in the ear, whether real or imagined, are called tinnitus. Subjective causes of tinnitus(which is heard only by the patient) are extremely common and the majority of them are treated conservatively. For certain individuals their tinnitus is a major handicap; for others a trivial concern. The most common from of subjective tinnitus is a rushing, hissing or buzzing noise; it is frequently associated with sensorineural heanng loss. The patient may be unaware of the hearing loss, especially if it is a high frequency deficit of moderate severity. The character of the tinnitus may give a clue to the etiology. But the patient often has difficulty in explaining his/her tinnitus in absolute terms, as they have no other tinnitus with which to compare it but their own Tinnitus, like pain, is a subjective state and trying to objectively assess the severity is problematic. Audiological techniques to match subjective loudness to machine-produced noise may offer some help, in that sound intensity matches can bear little correspondence to subjective complaint. In spite of many studies, most patients presently seen complaining of tinnitus are told by their doctors that there is no treatment and that they will have to learn to live with this symptom. Objectives: To perform a clinical analysis of tinnitus and estimate the efficacy of Oriental Medical treatment according to the Byeonjeung(辨證). Subject: We studied 34 patients with complaints of tinnitus who had visited Pundang Cha Oriental Medicine Hospital Department of Otorhinolaryngology from March 1998 to February 2000. All of them had been treated 2 or 3 times a week with acupuncture treatment and had taken herbs according to the Byeonjeung(辨證) method. It was therefore possible for me to know whether their symptoms improved or not. Parameters Observed and Method: We treated them with acupuncture & herb-medication. Sometimes we gave them moxibustion or negative therapy with bloodletting at the acupuncture points(耳門, 聽宮, 聽會). Parameters Observed 1) Distribution of age & sex 2) Chief complaints 3) The sites of tinnitus 4) The quality of tinnitu 5) The duration of disease 6) The problem induced tinnitus 7) Factors increasing disease severity 8) The classification of the Byeonjeung(辨證) 9) The efficacy of treatments Results: 1. Age and sex distribution: The most common occurrence was found in males in their twenties: 6 males($17.7\%$), and in females in their thirties and over sixty: 8 females($23.5\%$). Total patient numbers for men and women were 20 men($58.8\%$), 14 women ($41.2\%$). 2. The most frequent major complaints were hearing disturbances related to tinnitus; and dizziness with tinnitus; each comprising 10 cases($29.4\%$). There were also 7 patients($20.6\%$) with only tinnitus. 3. Tinnitus sites: 13($38.2\%$) said that they felt tinnitus in both ears, equally. In the right ear, 9($26.5\%$), in the left, 6($17.7\%$). 4. The most frequent descriptive symptoms of tinnitus were: humming, hissing, buzzing etc. 5. The duration of disease. 14cases($41.2\%$) had a duration of less than 1 year. 6. 15cases($44.1\%$) complained that it was hard to watch TV or make a phone call because of tinnitus. 10 cases($29.4\%$) complained about depression. 7. Factors increasing severity of tinnitus: ⅰ) fatigue: 18cases($52.9\%$) ⅱ) stress/ tension: 10 cases($29.4\%$) ⅲ) alcohol and tobacco: 5cases($l4.7\%$) 8. Classification through Byeonjeung : ⅰ) 19 cases($55.9\%$) were classified as showing Deficiency syndrome. ⅱ) 15 cases($44.l\%$) were classified as showing Excess syndrome. The deficiency of Qi was 7($20.6\%$), deficiency of Xue, 8($23.5\%$) and insufficiency of the Kidney Yin & Yang, 4($11.8\%$). The flare of Liver fire was 8($23.5\%$) and phlegm-fire, 7($20.6\%$), 9. The efficacy of treatments showed: an improvement in 17cases($50.0\%$); no real improvement or changes in 13 cases($38.2\%$); and some worsening in 4 cases($11.8\%$). In the group with deficiency in Qi, 4($57.1\%$) improved, 1($14.3\%$) showed no change and 2($28.6\%$) were aggravated. In the cases of deficiency in Xue, 6($75.0\%$) improved, 2($25.0\%$) showed no change. In the cases of insufficiency of Kidney Yin & Yang, 3($75.0\%$) showed no change and 1($25.0\%$) were aggravated. In the group of flare of Liver fire, 4($50.0\%$) improved, 3($37.5\%$) no change and 1($12.5\%$) were aggravated. In the cases of phlegm-fire, 3($42.9\%$) improved, 4($57.1\%$) showed no change. Conclusion: We would recommend that any further studies of tinnitus utilize trial treatments of longer than 2 months duration, as any positive effects observed in our study showed that improvement occurred fairly slowly. And we suggest that this study could be utilized as a reference for clinical Oriental Medical treatment of tinnitus. If we try to apply music or sound therapy treatment properly combined with ours, we expect it to provide psycological stability in addition to inducing masking effects, even though it may not directly decrease or completely remove tinnitus.

  • This study was done in order to analyze the factors which influenced the performance level of community health practitioners' task. Interview survey was done during the period from August to October, 1986. Interviewee were 166 CHPs among total of 217 CHPs in Kyonggi province area. Multiple stepwise regression and canonical correlation analysis were used to identify major factors influenced to perform community health practitioners' task. The results of this study were summarized as follows: 1. General characteristics of CHPs 1) Personal characteristics The average age of CHPs was 37.8 years and their marital status was $77.6\%$ of married, educational back-ground was $65.3\%$ of junior college graduation. Their job career was $38.6\%$ of between 1-3 years, $33.3\%$ of between 3-5 years, $22.2\%$ of less than 1 years. Most of CHPs$(62.8\%)$ were fully satisfied with their job, $33.3\%$ were moderately, and $3.8\%$ were not satisfied. 2) Working environmental condition Only $31.7%$ of CHPs were satisfied with their working condition of primary health post, $26.6\%$ were not satisfied. Half of CHPs$(52.5\%)$ replied having good cooperation with health center, $10.1\%$ replied bad. Cooperation with health subcenter was good in $32.9\%$, and bad in $21.9%$. Cooperation with private health institutions was good in $34.2\%$, bad in $21.6%$. 2. Performance level of community health practitioners' task Among a total of 52 contents of their functions medical history taking. physical examination, referral of diagnostic laboratory work-up($(86.4\%)$, health assessment of pregnant women$(82.1\%)$, development of health information system$(79.4\%)$, supervision of health workers $(78.4\%)$, follow-up of family planning acceptors$(77.3\%)$, and follow-up of family planning acceptors' side effects$(77.3\%)$ were actively performed. Diagnosis of pregnancy$(62.1\%)$, sampling of drinking water for quality test$(52.5\%)$, making list of equipment' & supplies $(51.5\%)$, evaluation of primary health post activities $(37.6\%)$, organization of village health workers$(32.4\%)$ and management of village health workers $(30.1\%)$ were poorly performed. 3. Stepwise multiple regression analysis of job function The factors which influenced the performance level of community health practitioners' function were age, marital status, educational level, job career, job satisfaction, satisfaction of working environment of primary health post, cooperation of health center, cooperation of health center, cooperation of private health instiutions in orders. These 9 variables were able to explain job function from $25.7\%$ of program planning to $6.7\%$ of management of common disease. 4. Canonical correlation analysis between the performance of function and general characteristics of CHPs. Cooperation of private health institutions was found to be the factor influencing task performance of community organization, management of primary health post, technical supervision of health personnels. Job satisfaction of CHPs was also found to be the factor influencing task performance of family planning, management of common disease and maintenance of health information system.

  • 1. Objectives: Though the eating habits have improved and the living method has become convenient according to the economic growth thanks to the modern industrialization, because of the lack of exercise, obesity, wrong eating habits and stress etc, various symptoms of disease of adults are on the rise. This is the phenomenon that happens as the eating life has become life in the West along with the inundation of the western culture in our society. In this perspective, there has been many various clinical research that's been proceeded so far about the physical constitution and obesity, but there has been little research on the objective analysis of the clinical research about the alimentotherapy using taeeumjoweetang. 2. Methods: In this research we have checked the weights, fat rates, fat weight, abdominal fat rate, blood pressure, and BMI over the objects of the women that were diagnosed as lunisolar system as their physical constitution, and assessed the paramecium lipid, in-blood antioxidation enzyme and the damage of oxidization in the urine by physical constitution-specific of the body shapes that were determined by BMI. The statistical analysis of the current research was processed by using of SPSS 17.0 program. We have figure out statistical amounts such as the arithmetic average, average deviation rate and percentage number. Fro the verification of he significancy of each elements, we have used the paired t-test, ANOVA, Chi-square test at the level of p<0.05. 3. Results and Conclusions: Their characteristics are age $21.20{\pm}1.35$, height $160.30{\pm}6.11cm$, weight $64.66{\pm}8.72kg$, fat rates are $35.97{\pm}4.87%$, fat amount $23.40{\pm}5.48$, abdominal fat rate $0.823{\pm}0.03$, BMI $25.12{\pm}2.79kg/m^2$, and systolic blood pressure $111.60{\pm}10.28mmHg$ and diastolic blood pressure $68.60{\pm}7.43mmHg$ and we have let them take the medicine twice a day for 8 weeks. The clinical result for the Cholesterol, Triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, SGOT, SGPT, of the object people was that for the function of the liver, the result of the SGOT and SGPT test was $17.16{\pm}3.05$, $15.00{\pm}2.99IU/L$, which was a decrease, and had statistical meaning, but for the SGOT, though the figure reduced to $11.92{\pm}4.61$, $10.80{\pm}3.07$, it had no statistical meaning. For the whole cholesterol level, the figure reduced to $169.00{\pm}19.95$, $160.08{\pm}22.52$ mg/dL and had statistical significance(p<0.05). Neuter fat number, Triglyceride has slightly increased to $67.52{\pm}36.32$, $68.08{\pm}47.33$ mg/dL but did not have any statistical meaning. The antioxdant enzyme marker standard marker, SOD has increased to $2.52{\pm}0.73$, $2.86{\pm}0.60U/ml$, and had statistical significance(p<0.01). Catalase also increased by $0.63{\pm}0.18$, $1.07{\pm}0.25mmol/ml$ and had statistical meaning(p<0.01). GPx also increased to $204.76{\pm}32.64$ nmol/ml and had statistical meaning(p<0.01). But, for the Total antioxidant, though it has raised to $1.51{\pm}0.26$, $1.57{\pm}0.17nmol/{\mu}l$, it did not have any statistical meaning. MDA of oxidative stress marker has decreased to $1.70{\pm}0.68{\mu}g/ml$, $1.21{\pm}0.50{\mu}g/m$ and had statistical significance(p<0.01). 8-OHdG also decreased $3.35{\pm}0.95ng/ml$, $2.21{\pm}0.50ng/ml$ and had statistical meaning(p<0.01). In this research, we have analyzed the various markers relating to BFM and changes in oxidative enzyme in blood by takingtaeeumjoweetang. Taeeumjoweetang has the positive effect on inbody antioxidant system and reducing the content of cholesterol, which is proven to help losing weight and improving hyperlipidemia statistically. With this research, we hope to improve the lifestyle of those who are either obese or need to manage their dietary habits, and also to become the touchstone of integrating Oriental Medicine with the science of food & nutrition.

  • 경상북도 지역의 암사망 신고자료의 정확성을 제고하고, 질 높은 지역보건사업계획의 수립을 위한 자료수집을 위해 기존의 사망신고체계에 보건소망을 추가로 이용하여 1991년부터 1998년까지 의 암사망 신고자료를 수집 분석하였다. 경상북도의 전체 사망자중에서 암사망자가 차지하는 비율은 1991년에는 16.7%에서 1998년에는 19.3%로 증가되었는데, 남자는 1991년 19.4%에서 1998년에는 22.3%로 증가하였고, 여자는 1991년 12.4%에서 1998년에는 15.5%로 여자에서의 비율의 증가가 컸다. 암 종류별 사망자는 전체적으로는 1991년에는 위암(41.5%), 간암(28.8%), 폐와 기관지암(8.7%)순이었고, 1998년에는 위암(24.7%), 간암(22.7%), 폐와 기관지암(19.3%)순으로 순위는 같았으나 사망비율의 차이는 있었다. 남자는 1991년에는 위암(40.2%), 간암(33.7%), 폐와 기관지암(10.2%) 순이었으나, 1998년에는 간암이 25.0%, 위암과 폐 기관지암이 공히 22.8%를 차지하여 순위의 변동이 있었다. 여자는 1991년에는 위암(44.7%), 간암(16.7%), 폐와 기관지암(5.0%)순이었고, 1998년에는 위암(27.8%), 간암(18.5%), 폐 기관지암(12.7%)순이었으며, 위암이 가장 많이 감소하였고, 폐 기관지암이 가장 많이 증가하였다. 암 종류별로 보면 위암, 간암, 후두암에 의한 사망은 감소하였고, 폐 기관지암, 식도암, 췌장암, 직장암에 의한 사망은 증가하였다. 여자의 경우는 유방암에 의한 사망은 증가하였고, 자궁암은 감소하는 추세였다. 1995년도 인구를 기준으로 연도별 연령보정 표준화 사망률을 산출하였는데, 전체적으로는 1991년에는 84.25명이었으며, 1998년에는 77.67으로 감소하였다. 남자는 1991년에 119.81명에서 101.82명으로 크게 감소하였고, 여자는 1991년 48.64명에서 1998년 53.80명으로 증가하였다. 연령대별로는 40대 미만에서는 위암, 간암, 폐 기관지암, 자궁암, 식도암은 감소하고, 췌장암, 직장암과 유방암은 증가하였다. 40대 이상에서는 위암, 간암, 자궁암, 후두암은 감소하였고, 폐 기관지암, 식도암, 백혈병, 췌장암, 직장암, 유방암은 증가하는 추세였다. 이상의 결과 경북지역에서는 전반적으로 폐 기관지암, 직장암, 식도암, 췌장암, 유방암 등에 의한 사망이 증가하는 추세이므로 이를 고려한 지역암보건사업이 이루어져야 하겠으며, 전국적으로도 국가암등록사업과 사망자료의 연계를 통한 정확한 사망통계를 근거로한 국가암보건계획의 수립과 평가가 필요하며, 이를 위하여 공공보건기관에서 정확한 암 사망통계의 산출을 위한 추진방안이 개발되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

  • 목적: 저자들은 2013년 경기 북부의 한 병원에서 경험한 소규모 홍역 유행의 양상을 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 2013년 8월부터 10월까지 가톨릭대학교 의정부성모병원에서 홍역으로 확진된 환아 15명의 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 홍역으로 진단된 환아는 모두 15명으로, 신생아 1명, 영아 11명, 유아 3명이었으며 역전사 중합 효소연쇄반응법(RT-PCR)과 혈청 내 홍역 IgM 검사로 확진하였다. 모든 환아는 Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) 접종을 받지 않았다. 홍역으로 확진된 환아의 바이러스 유전형은 모두 B3이었다. 9명(60%)의 환아가 원내 감염에 의해 홍역에 걸렸다. 잠복기는 8-15일이었고 발열은 접촉 후 평균 10일째 발생하여 평균 8일 동안 39도 이상으로 지속되는 양상을 보였다. 발진은 접촉 후 평균 13일째 발생하였다. 40%의 환아가 호흡기 합병증을 보였고 53%의 환아가 설사를 동반하였다. 결론: 우리나라는 꾸준한 접종 사업을 통해 홍역 퇴치 수준에 이르게 되었지만 홍역 재유행, 특히 영아에 대한 위험성을 간과할 수 없게 되었다. 영유아에서 홍역이 의심될 때에는 가속접종, 면역글로불린 투여와 같은 처치를 적극적으로 시행하는 것이 필요하다. 향후 홍역 유행을 막기 위한 첫 번째 단계로, 신생아, 영아, 가임기 여성의 홍역 IgG 항체가 재조사가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Objective : The purpose of this study is to analyze the charcateristics of inpatients in Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology & Dermatology Clinic by gender, age, season, and department of medical care after hospitalization from March, 2012 to February, 2018. Method : From March 1, 2012 to February 28, 2018, patients who were admitted to the Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology & Dermatology Clinic of Korean Medical Hospital were classified by gender, age, department, and season, and their relationship, hospitalization period, number of outpatient visits Differences were analyzed objectively using various statistical methods using IBM SPSS 18.0. Results : 1. The number of inpatients was 432, including duplication. Of these, 317 were female and 115 were male. The number of female patients was 2.8 times higher. 2. The average age of the inpatients was 43.9 years and the number of middle-aged 40-50 patients was 48.6%. 3. The number of inpatients in the departments was in the order of dermatology, otology, laryngology, rhinology, and ophthalmology. The most hospitalized diseases were eczema in the dermatology department, sudden hearing loss in the otology department, tonsillitis/peritonsillar abscess, rhinitis in the rhinology department, and dry eye syndrome in ophthalmology. 1) The effect of gender on the difference in the number of inpatients by subdivision was statistically significant. 2) The effect of age on the difference in the number of inpatients by subdivision was statistically significant. 3) The effect of seasons on the difference in the number of inpatients was not statistically significant. 4. The number of inpatients by season was in the order of winter, spring, summer, autumn, and the number of inpatients decreased significantly in autumn. 1) The effect of gender on the difference in the number of hospitalized patients by season was not statistically significant. 2) The effect of age on the difference in the number of hospitalized patients by season was not statistically significant. 5. The average length of hospital stay for inpatients was 10.7 days. 1) The effect of gender on length of hospital stay was not statistically significant. 2) The effect of age on hospital stay was not statistically significant. 3) The effect of the subdivision on hospital stay was statistically significant. 4) The effect of the season on hospital stay was not statistically significant. Conclusion : As a result of this study, the most distinctive feature of the present study was the high rate of inpatients with otic disease like idiopathic hearing loss and Meniere 's syndrome and the high rate of female patients. This may be related to the increased prevalence of the disease and the severity of the disease. In addition, the high rate of female patients suggests that women are more likely to be affected by illnesses, as well as to have more medical use and severe symptoms requiring hospitalization. In the future, it would be better to provide various treatment plans and policies for patients with otic diseases and female patients. Also it would be good if studies on these fields are made in the future.

  • 이 연구는 한국 성인의 전자담배 사용과 관련된 요소들을 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 카이제곱 검정, 로지스틱회귀분석을 통해2015년 한국질병통제센터에서 실시한 지역건강조사228,477건을 분석하였다. 전자담배평생 유병율이 남성 11.1%, 여성 0.8%로 나타났다. 현재 전자담배 흡연율은 남성이 24.2%, 여성이 26.1%로 였다. 평생전자담배 흡연경험율은 연령 교육수준, 직업, 소득상태 및 현재흡연상태와 각각 유의미하게 관련되어 있었다. 현재의 보편적인 전자담배 흡연이 현 흡연상태와 유의한 관련이 있는 것은 과거에 흡연했던 그룹보다 현재흡연자 그룹이 현저히 높은 경험을 보이고 있는 것이다. 전자담배의 선호는 높았다. 전자담배는 금연을 목적으로 하는 이들이 전자담배가 일반담배에 비해 금연 효과가 있는 것처럼 인식하고 있었고, 흡연에서 오는 쾌감이나 중독성을 만족시켜 주었다. 따라서 전자담배는 흡연에 대한 딜레마에서 벗어날 수 있는 해결책으로 반영되어 선호도가 높았다. 2014년 전자담배 수입은 전년도 대비 약 3배 증가했고 세계적으로도 전자담배에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 우리는 전자담배의 예방과 중단에 관련된 특징을 고려해야 한다. 흡연자들이 잘못된 흡연관련 건강인식을 개선하기 위한 금연교육 강화와 금연 위해성에 대한 적극적인 홍보가 필요하다. WHO에서도 전자담배의 안전성을 담보하거나 효과가 있다고 인정한 근거가 부족하다고 권고하고 있다. 전자 담배의 사용 동기에 있어서 중요한 환경적인 요인들을 확인하고 전자담배인식과 사용에 대한 연관성을 분석하는 연구들을 모색해야 한다.
