부산·경남지역 만 3-5세의 미취학 아동을 대상으로 NQ-P (균형, 절제, 환경)를 이용한 식행동 평가 및 식행동에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요인을 파악한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 부산과 경남지역에 거주하는 214명의 미취학 아동의 부모를 대상으로 미취학 아동의 식품 섭취 빈도를 살펴본 결과, 균형 영역에서 성별에 따른 채소류 섭취 (p < 0.01), 비만도에 따른 육류와 생선류 섭취 (p < 0.05)에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 환경 영역에 해당하는 문항별 성별, 연령, 지역, 비만도에 따른 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 절제 영역에서 가공육 섭취빈도에서 성별에 따른 섭취빈도에 유의한 차이가 있었다 (p < 0.05). 부산·경남지역의 미취학 아동의 NQ-P 점수는 영양지수 평균 점수는 58.28점으로, 하위 3개 요인 중 균형요인은 60.08점, 절제요인은 47.64점, 환경요인이 67.83점으로 등급별 기준에 의해 총점과 영역별 점수 모두 '중하' 등급이었다. NQ-P 점수는 절제영역에서 남아 44.54점, 여아 50.79점으로 여아가 유의적으로 높았다 (p < 0.01). 외식횟수에 의해서도 점수의 차이가 있었는데, 외식횟수가 높은 경우에 NQ-P 총점 (p < 0.05), 절제 (p < 0.001), 환경 (p < 0.05) 요인의 점수가 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 부모의 건강관심도가 높은 그룹에서 NQ-P 총점, 환경요인 점수가 유의하게 높았고 (p < 0.01), NQ-P 총점에 따라서도 균형, 절제, 환경 영역에서 점수차이가 유의한 것으로 나타났다 (p < 0.001). 이상의 결과를 통해 부산·경남지역의 미취학 아동의 식습관은 '중하'에 속하여 지속적으로 식습관 개선을 위한 교육 및 모니터링이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 미취학 아동의 식행동이 성별, 외식횟수, 부모의 건강관심도에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타나, 영향요인을 고려하여 보호자 및 미취학 아동 대상 영양교육 프로그램을 개발하는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The results were as follows : The average age and work experience of the subjects were 26.9 and 5.6 years, respectively. The number of respondents in the shift and non-shift operations was equally distributed. The mean height and weight were 161.2 cm and 52.7 kg, respectively. Even though the average body mass index (BMI) and obesity index were normal in the subjects, 9.2% of the subjects were overweight/obese, while 28.9% of the subjects were under weight, according to the obesity index. The mean score of stress was 27.5 \pm$\pm$ 4.6 out of 50 points. Most of the subjects were highly stressed about the amount of their work, problems regarding their future, and relationships with their superiors. With regard to changes in food intake due to stress, 44.1% showed an increased intake, while 32.3% showed a reduced intake. The degree of health consciousness of the married nurses, those over 36 years of age, and those with over 10 years of nursing experience was significantly higher than that of the unmarried nurses, those under 35 years of age, and those with under 10 years of nursing experience (p<0.01). Fifty-one point three percent of the subjects thought their health status was unhealthy. Fifty-seven percent of the subjects had tried weight control. Their main reason for trying weight control was to have a slender figure (62.3%), and their methods of weight control were moderation in intake(45.6%), exercise and dieting (36.9%). TV/radio (49.5%) and newspaper/magazines (47.1%) were the primary sources of nutritional and health information for the subjects, and professional (25.1%) and the internet (13.4%) were ranked relatively highly.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is widely used to provide nutritional support for patients with dysphagia and/or disturbed consciousness preventing oral ingestion, and PEG tube placement is a relatively safe and convenient non-surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. However, the prevention of PEG-insertion-related complications is important. A 64-year-old man with recurrent pneumonia underwent tracheostomy and nasogastric tube placement for nutritional support and opted for PEG tube insertion for long-term nutrition. However, during the insertion procedure, needle puncture had to be attempted twice before successful PEG tube placement was achieved, and a day after the procedure his hemoglobin had fallen and he developed hypotension. Abdominal computed tomography revealed injury to a pancreatic branch of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) associated with bleeding, hemoperitoneum, and pancreatitis. Transarterial embolization was performed using a microcatheter to treat hemorrhage from the injured branch of the SMA, and the acute pancreatitis was treated using antibiotics and supportive care. The patient was discharged after an uneventful recovery. Clinicians should be mindful of possible pancreatic injury and bleeding after PEG tube insertion. Possible complications, such as visceral injuries or bleeding, should be considered in patients requiring multiple puncture attempts during a PEG procedure.

This study was carried out to evaluate high-school students' nutrient intakes according to the status of depressive trends, and to analyse the in physical and mental health status. The volunteers were 560 high school students selected from 8 provinces, but 511 students were analyzed. A was used for evaluation, The questions were composed in consideration of socio-demographic characteristics, physical health condition by CMI, mental condition assessed by a modified Zung's self-rating depression scale (SDS), and the evaluation of food consumption by a 24 hours recall method. The family situations of the subjects were mostly nuclear family(73%), agricultural work(53%), and having religion(53%). Only 3% of the students suffered depression where as 19% showed depression trendencies. The individual factors that affected their mental condition were family farming and consciousness of academic accomplishment. The health status counted with CMI was 6.2/20 scores. The non-depressed trend group of students had a lower score of CMI than others. The overall nutrient intakes of students were low compared with the Korean RDA for adolescents. The Mean Adequacy Ratio(MAR) of nutrient intakes was only $0.45{\pm}0.23$. Iron, vitamin A, and riboflavin intakes were significantly low and correlated with depressive trend score. The result from the regression analysis showed that CMI, study accomplishment, and vitamin A were the most significant factors influencing mental condition. We concluded that Korean rural high-school students were healthy in mental condition and showed lower rates of depression academic. For there more we could say that the intakes of iron and vitamin A also influenced mental health. Findings confirmed the need of becoming hopeful job of farming and better nutritional status. These situations would be necessary for students to ameliorate the quality of rural living.

This study was conducted to assess needs of educational mobile application (App) development for nutritional management and information on pregnant women. A total of 105 pregnant women were investigated on general characteristics, dietary habits, health behavior and needs for contents and composition of the application. The mean age of the subjects was 31.9 years and the mean gestation period was 25.4 weeks. The rate of skipping meal was 39.0% and the rate of irregular meal time was 46.6%. The consciousness of the meal as balanced nutrition and health was 19.9%. Eating out at least forth a week was 35.3%. Obtaining information about pregnancy and childbirth were internet (35.3%), hospital or health center (19.9%), books (17.1%), experience (15.2%), mobile (8.6%) and friends or acquaintances (4.8%). If the application is developed, subject replied 'frequently use' (51.4%), 'when needed' (47.6%) respectively. The favour topic in developing application were 'nutrition information of pregnant and fetal' (36.2%), 'weight management, feeding' (33.3%), 'food choice and cooking' (21.9%), 'shopping' (5.7%), 'example of menu' (1.9%), 'effect of smoking, drinking, exercising' (1.0%). The favorite content was 'include sufficient amount about information' (44.8%). Depending on the age and education level, the best age for pregnancy group have significantly higher ability for utilize and information gathering than old age pregnant group. Also the best age for pregnancy group have high demands of design, convenience and various contents in App development. Therefore, mobile application (App) for pregnant women could be widely used as an effective dietary guide.
