이 연구는 입퇴원을 반복하는 치료 미순응 노인 당뇨병 환자들의 퇴원 후 자가 관리 수준을 파악하기 위하여 실시하였다. 일개 종합병원에서 고혈당으로 최근 1년 이내에 2회 이상 입원 치료받은 65세 이상 노인 당뇨병 환자 15명을 대상으로 2015년 11월 1일부터 2016년 3월 1일까지 심층 면담을 통한 질적 연구를 수행하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 연구 대상자들은 당뇨병 관련 지식 중 발병원인과 증상에 대한 지식수준이 낮았다. 혈당 측정은 불규칙적으로 하거나 하지 않고 있었고, 가정에 혈당기가 없어 측정을 하지 못하는 경우도 있었다. 일상생활 중 가족들로부터 스트레스를 많이 받고 있었고, 노령으로 인하여 신체 활동에 제한이 많았으며, 뇌졸중의 후유증과 근골격계 질환 등의 문제들로 운동을 거의 못하고 있었다. 규칙적인 식사도 거의 이뤄지지 않고 있었으며, 당뇨병 자가관리 교육은 받을 필요가 없다고 생각하거나 거동 불편으로 받지 못하고 있었다. 자가 혈당 측정 행위 저조, 가족으로부터의 심리적 압박, 퇴원 후 교육 기회 부재 등이 당뇨병자가 관리와 관련된 두드러진 문제점들이었다. 따라서 치료 미순응 노인 당뇨병 환자들의 자가관리 수준을 높이기 위해서는 환자와 가족을 포함하는 맞춤형 교육 프로그램을 개발하고, 교육참여 기회를 보장하여 자가 관리의 중요성과 기술습득을 통하여 자가 관리를 실천하게 하는 것이 필요하다.

The objective of this study was to determine the knowledge and associated factors regarding colorectal cancer screening among university students in Malaysia. The questionnaire consisted of three parts: socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle practice and knowledge of colorectal screening. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 students ($21.3{\pm}1.4$ years old). The majority of the participants were Malay with a monthly family income of less than 5,000 Ringgit Malaysia (equal to 1,700 USD) (67.0% and 76.0%, respectively). Regarding their lifestyle practices, the majority were non-smokers and had never consumed alcohol (83.7%, and 88.0%, respectively). The majority of the participants had no knowledge of digital rectal examination, colonoscopy, barium enema and fecal occult blood screening (63.3%, 60.7%, 74.0% and 62.3%, respectively). Univariate and multivariate analysis revealed that their age and the discipline which the students were studying significantly influenced their level of knowledge about colorectal screening. The present study results indicate that education campaigns about colorectal cancer should be promoted.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify factors related to compliance with respiratory infection preventive behaviors including hand washing, cough etiquette, and oral hygiene of older adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of 100 older adults (mean age: $76.11{\pm}6.35$ years, female: 86.0%). Data were collected from a community senior center through face to face interviews by using instruments including measuring knowledge, perceived threat, self-efficacy, compliance with respiratory infection preventive behaviors. Results: The mean score of knowledge was 7.52 out of 13 in total. The compliance with hand washing with soap was 6.0% for 8 or more times per day. Among the participants, 12.0% adhered to the cough etiquette. Sixty-two older adults (62.0%) didn't use interdental brushes or floss at all. The stepwise linear regression indicated that age and self-efficacy for respiratory infection preventive behaviors were significant factors and explained 24.0% of the compliance with hand washing and the cough etiquette. Education level, cancer diagnosis, and self-efficacy for respiratory infection preventive behaviors were significant predictors of oral hygiene. The factor with the greatest effect was self-efficacy in the two models. Conclusion: The findings suggest that it is necessary to improve compliance with respiratory infection preventive behaviors among older adults using senior centers. In order to enhance the compliance, it is necessary to develop nursing programs based on the self-efficacy for respiratory infection preventive behaviors in the senior centers.

Objectives: Rural housewives are integral to household management and family care, yet their sedentary lifestyles present significant health risks. This study used the transtheoretical model (TTM) to investigate strategies that encourage and maintain regular exercise habits among rural housewives. Methods: A semi-experimental study was conducted in 2021 with 114 housewives aged 30 to 59 who attended rural health centers in Gorgan, Iran. Participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups. Data collection involved a validated questionnaire that gathered demographic information and constructs of the TTM. The intervention group participated in a comprehensive educational program, which included four 60-minute sessions. Data were collected again 6 months post-intervention and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS version 21. Results: The study encompassed women with an average age of 39.75±6.05 years, the majority of whom had educational levels below a diploma, and over 90% were married. We observed strong correlations between the processes of change, self-efficacy, and decisional balance. At the outset, there were no significant differences in demographics or model structures between the 2 groups. However, 6 months post-intervention, the intervention group exhibited statistically significant differences in the mean scores of model structures, stages of change, and body mass index (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of physical activity training for rural housewives. The findings suggest that the educational intervention, which utilized the TTM, significantly impacted the participants' model structures and their stages of change.
