This is a descriptive research study that classified Korean adults with obesity into those with Metabolically Healthy Obesity and those with Metabolically Unhealthy Obesity based on the data from the fifth and sixth South Korea's National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, designed due to the development of information and communication technology, to examine the impacts of obese adults' health behavior factors and mental health factors on their metabolic state. With respect to data analysis, the collected data were analyzed by complex sample statistics. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: Men who were smoking at the time of the survey had a 1.29 times higher probability of inclusion in the MUO group than in the MHO group. Women who had a high stress cognition rate had a 1.02 times higher probability of inclusion in the MUO group than in the MHO group. This study is significant as it provides the basic data for establishing strategies of nursing intervention for the promotion of obese adults' health, and it suggests that it is necessary to develop a program for the promotion of obese adults' health based on these results.

본 논문에서는 인간 생리 및 생활에 가장 기본이 되는 온도, 상대습도를 기초로 하여 인간의 열긴장도를 측정하여 우리나라의 열감분포의 특성을 파악하였다. 연구 방법은 열지수 분석을 중심으로 하였다. 열지수는 습도계산도에서, 월별 열지수 및 연누적 열지수를 계산하여 한국의 연누적 열지수 분포도를 작성하였다. 연누적 열지수 분포의 분석 결과는 우리 나라의 대부분 지역이 한랭긴장도가 나타나는 지역이고 남쪽에서 북쪽으로, 해안에서 내륙으로 갈수록 한랭긴장도가 높아지고 있다. 특히 삼지연. 풍산, 장진을 중심으로 한 개마고원 지역이 높은 한랭긴장도 지역이고, 제주와 서귀포룰 포함한 제주도 지역이 가장 낮은 긴장도를 보이고 있다. 전자는 겨울에 시베리아 기단의 영향을 직접 받고. 고도가 매우 높은 내륙 산지 지역이기 때문이고, 후자는 위도와 바다의 영향으로 특히 겨울에 온화한 지역이기 때문이다.

본 연구는 그동안 많은 주목을 받아왔던 북한이탈주민의 우울감에 대해 기존에 주로 사용하던 자기보고식 질문지법이외에도 새로이 투사적 검사법을 사용하여 입체적으로 조명하기 위해 진행되었다. 북한이탈주민의 우울감에 대해 좀 더 정확하게 파악하기 위해 비교집단으로서 남한주민을 포함시켰다. 본 연구는 북한이탈주민 40명과 남한주민 40명의 자료를 토대로 이루어졌다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, CES-D에서는 북한이탈주민이 남한주민보다 더 높은 우울 점수를 보였다. 그리고 로샤검사 결과에서는 양측 주민들의 DEPI, CDI, S-CON 지표에서 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 둘째, 양측 주민들에게서 성별의 차이를 검증한 결과, 북한 이탈주민 여자의 CDI의 점수가 가장 높았다. 이는 북한이탈주민 남자에 비해 여자가 실제로 심리적인 어려움을 더 크게 겪고 있을 가능성을 시사한다. 셋째, 양측 주민들이 보인 CES-D와 로샤검사의 DEPI 점수 간의 상관계수의 차이 분석에서 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 결론적으로, 남한주민과 북한이탈주민의 우울감과 관련해서는 자기보고 과정에서 상이한 패턴을 보일 수 있음을 기억할 필요가 있다.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether the self-rated health (SRH) could be a risk factor for compulsion. Methods: Data related with compulsion and SRH information were collected from 532 young adults aged over 20 years in South Korea. The distribution of the high and low SRH groups was analyzed using the chi-square test, whereas difference in quality of life (QoL) was analyzed using the t-test. Logistic regression was used to analyze the odds ratio (OR). Results: In the high and low-SRH groups, 44 (28.8%) and 23 (31.5%) men and 24 (10.4%) and 21 (27.6%) women, respectively, were at risk for compulsion (p<.001). For women, the compulsion scores of the low and high-SRH groups, respectively, were 15.8±9.53 and 9.9±8.47 (t=5.071, p<.001). The low-SRH group had higher ORs compared with the high-SRH group among women (OR 3.277, 95% confidence interval 1.699 - 6.321, p<.001) in the original model, and this phenomenon was significant even after adjusting for age and residence type. Conclusions: Low SRH may be a risk factor for compulsion. Further research for improving SRH by developing preventive measures against compulsion is necessary.

Scabies is a parasitic skin infection with intense itching. Scabies infection seriously impairs quality of life, while outbreaks in medical institutions cause financial losses. This study aimed to present the annual and seasonal trend of prevalence of scabies in the national population. Scabies cases were extracted from National Health Insurance Service database and its epidemiologic characteristics were assessed. To analyze the seasonality of scabies occurrence, temperature and humidity were included in the model as weather factors, and the per capita gross national income index was adjusted. The annual prevalence by age group was 0.56-0.69 per 1,000 persons until the age of 40 years and peaked at 3.0-4.1 per 1,000 persons in the age group over 80 years. The number of women diagnosed with scabies has been consistently higher compared to that of men since 2010. Mean number of cases diagnosed as scabies was lowest in spring, approximately 4,000 cases, when the average temperature was less than $5^{\circ}C$ at 2 months prior, whereas more than 6,000 scabies cases occurred in autumn when temperatures exceeded $25^{\circ}C$ at 2 months prior. This study presents the epidemiological characteristics and seasonality of all cases nationwide over 8 years and will help to establish control policies.

본 연구는 기존 연구들에서 미혼 청년들의 결혼의향에 영향을 미치는 것으로 제시된 경제적 변인들을 객관적/주관적, 개인 수준/부모 수준으로 구분하여 변인들 간의 상대적 영향력을 확인하고, 그러한 변인들의 영향력을 고려한 상황에서 물질에 대한 가치관, 즉 물질주의(성공판단, 소유중심, 행복추구)가 결혼의향에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 성별에 따라 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 전국 2-30대 미혼 남녀 557명을 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 데이터를 수집하였고, 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 남성과 여성 각각에 대해 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 여성의 소득은 결혼의향을 정적으로 유의하게 예측하였지만 남성은 유의하지 않았다. 둘째, 주관적 계층인식은 남녀 모두의 결혼의향을 정적으로 유의하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 부모의 결혼지원 기대 정도는 남성의 결혼의향을 예측하였다. 넷째, 물질에 대한 가치관은 다양한 경제적 요인들의 영향을 고려한 상황에서도 결혼의향에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 여성의 경우 물질의 소유를 통해 자신과 타인의 성공을 판단하는 경향이 높을수록 결혼의향을 가질 확률이 높고, 물질의 소유를 통해 자신의 행복과 만족을 추구하는 경향이 높을수록 결혼의향을 갖지 않을 확률이 높았다. 남성의 물질적 가치관은 결혼의향을 통계적으로 유의하게 예측하지 않았다. 이 같은 결과에 대한 구체적인 의의와 추후 연구를 통한 추가적 탐색과 이해의 필요는 논의를 통해 제시하였다.

In South Korea, as awareness of gender equality increased since the 1990s, policies for gender equality and social awareness of equality have been established. Until recently, however, the gap between men and women in social and economic activities has not reached the globally desired level and led to social conflict throughout the country. In this study, we analyze the content of online news comments to understand the public perception of gender equality and the details of gender conflict and to grasp the emergence and diffusion process of emerging issues on gender equality. We collected text data from the online news that included the word 'gender equality' posted from January 2012 to June 2017 and also collected comments on each selected news item. Through text mining and the temporal semantic network analysis, we tracked the changes in discourse on gender equality and conflict. Results revealed that gender conflicts are increasing in the online media, and the focus of conflict is shifting from 'position and role inequality' to 'opportunity inequality'.

Background: This study investigates the association between sleep duration and diabetes mellitus (DM) in a large representative population-based survey in South Korea. Methods: The fourth (2007-2009), fifth (2010-2012), and sixth (2013) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data sets were used. A total of 37,989 individuals were selected for the study. Chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze whether general characteristics, health status, and health risk behaviors were associated with DM. Results: After adjusting for confounders, the odds of DM in short sleepers (${\leq}5hr/day$) and long sleepers (${\geq}9hr/day$) were 1.033-times higher (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.913-1.169) and 1.334-times higher (95% CI, 1.140-1.562), respectively, compared with individuals who slept 7 hr/day. Subgroup analysis according to gender showed a U-shaped association for both genders, although it appeared stronger in men. Conclusion: This study identified a U-shaped association between sleep duration and the risk for DM. Additional studies should help clarify the important information in this study.

Purpose: This study examined the job stress and perception of unit managers' authentic leadership on clinical nurses' intention to stay in nursing. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study utilized self-administered questionnaires. The study recruited a convenience sample of 211 clinical nurses from threertiary hospitals in South Korea. The survey was conducted between July and August 2021. The collected data underwent hierarchical multiple regression analyses. Results: The regression analyses indicated that clinical nurses' intention to stay was significantly associated with job stress (B=-0.06, 95% CI [-0.09, -0.04]), six or more years of clinical practice (B=0.60, 95% CI [0.13, 1.07]), men (B=0.87, 95% CI [0.30, 1.44]), and being placed on their desired nursing unit (B=0.39, 95% CI [0.27, 0.76]). Intention to stay was not found to be associated with authentic leadership by the unit managers. Conclusion: It is essential to implement workplace health promotion programs to prevent and reduce job stress among nurses to retain proficient clinical nurses. Additionally, nursing workforce management strategies tailored to the specific sex and career path of nurses are necessary. Moreover, careful consideration should be given to nursing unit placements that align with the individual aptitudes of nurses.
