Purpose : To provide basic data for establishing the policy of safe handling of cytotoxic drugs and for building training materials and clinical guidelines for nurses handling cytotoxic drugs. Methods: 255 nurses in Seoul and 257 nurses in D metropolitan area participated in the study. Questionnaires were based on the safe handling guideline for cytotoxic drugs issued by OSHA and ONA. Results: Nurses in Seoul scored higher in the cognition for safe handling guidelines of cytotoxic drugs in preparation, administration. as well as total score compared with nurses in D metropolitan area. The practical score also showed higher in nurses in Seoul in administration, disposal and total score. But both groups showed low level of practical score. The answers why they could not follow the guideline for cytotoxic drugs were "don't have", "busy", and "don't know", etc Conclusion: Handling of the cytotoxic drug is very common and important. The study findings suggest that hospitals especially in D metropolitan area should educate the nurses and supply equipments for safe handling of cytotoxic drugs. Thus, repetitive and continual education of all nurses including experts is needed. In addition, it is necessary to supply enough protective equipment for preventing exposure to the cytotoxic drugs.

Purpose: The present study explored the effects of education for safe handling of cytotoxic drugs on knowledge and practice in nurses. Method: Data were collected using a single group with pre and posttest design from 59 nurses at medical and surgical wards in C university hospital from April to June 2005. Questionnaires on the knowledge and practice of the guidelines for safe handling of cytotoxic drugs were asked to complete before and after the education. Result: The education improved nurses' knowledge and practice of the guidelines for safe handling of cytotoxic drugs. The knowledge and practice had a significant positive correlation. Conclusion: These findings show that the education for safe handling of cytotoxic drugs improved the knowledge and practice of nurses. As the knowledge of the guidelines for safe handling of cytotoxic drugs makes a positive association with the practice, it is thought to be required to enhance the education program for nurses.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of safe handling education of antineoplastic drug on knowledge and performance of clinical nurses. Methods: This was a nonequivalent control-group pretest-posttest study. A total of 49 nurses (25 for the experimental group and 24 for the control group) who dealt with antineoplastic drug within the previous 1 week participated in the study. The guidelines for safe handling of antineoplastic drugs and antineoplastic drugs side effects were provided to the experimental groups whereas only antineoplastic drugs side effects was given to the control groups. Knowledge and performance in reference to antineoplastic drug handling were measured before and 8-week after interventions. Results: The knowledge scores between the pretest and posttest were not statistically significant in both groups. However, the performance scores in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group. Conclusion: The given education of safe handling of antineoplastic drugs had an effect on improving clinical nurses' performance. Thus this education could be routinely administered in practice for those who deal with antineoplastic drugs in their everyday practice.

The spent fuel handling tool is used to handle the refuel bundle and treated by hoist rope on the bridge crane. The new developed handling tool of NPP(Nuclear Power Plant) should be conformed the structural stability under earthquake condition. In this study, the stress and seismic analysis of the handling tool are performed by finite element method. Using the Floor Response Spectrum(FRS) obtained through the time history analysis, the modal and seismic analysis under Operating Basis Earthquake(OBE) and Safe Shutdown Earthquake(SSE) load conditions are carried out. Total 4 cases of different locations of the trolly and the hook are investigated. With the spring-damper element, the tension analysis of hoist rope is conducted. The stability of handling tool under earthquake load condition is conformed with regulatory guide.

Recently, in the process of developing, verifying, and upgrading the e-Navigation service and autonomous navigation system, there is an increasing demand for inter-working with a ship-handling simulator that can simulate actual maritime traffic conditions. In this paper, to develop a ship-handling simulation system based on actual maritime traffic conditions, a simulation server was built, received information on the actual maritime traffic conditions from the e-Navigation linkage system, and changed to information for operating the ship-handling simulator. In order to provide simulation images to users, 3D shape modeling for trade ports, coastal ports in Korea and major type of ship were performed. The developed system will be used for the advancement of e-Navigation service, development and verification of autonomous navigation systems, by enabling simultaneous processing of more than 10,000 ships and allowing users to simulate actual maritime traffic conditions in the desired area.

Food handling practices playa key role in the prevalence of food-borne illness. Despite the fact that pregnant women are high risk groups for food-borne disease, little is known about their actual food handling practices at home. The objective of this study was to investigate behaviors regarding food-related hygienic practices of pregnant women. The questionnaire included questions in five major areas : personal hygiene ; adequate cooking ; avoiding cross contamination ; keeping food at safe temperatures ; and avoiding food from unsafe sources. Analysis of 488 questionnaires showed the respondents were unaware of the importance of safe food handling practices. Especially, pregnant women in our study should be encouraged to be careful about either risk of adequate cooking $(2.08\pm0.66)$ and keeping foods at safe temperatures $(2.69\pm0.63)$. Residency and number of children were consistent independent predictors of food handling behaviors. Previous food safety education also was found to have significant effect on food handling practices. TV news and newspapers were considered the most usable sources of food safety information by respondents. The behaviors identified in this study represent ones of particular importance for high-risk populations, like pregnant women. These population characteristics identified in this study could be incorporated in development of food safety educational programs for pregnant women being vulnerable on food-borne illness. Our results could have implications for the design of effective food safety educational efforts. This study indicates the need for continued and improved food safety education and for enforcing systematic food safety education for pregnant women.

Marine traffic system is composed of ship, ship's operators and traffic environment The navigation channel is a part of traffic environment and the design of channel is a crucial factor for safe navigation This paper aims to evaluate ship-handling difficulty in straight and bend channels with an Environmental Stress model(ES-model). The ES-model is used to evaluate ship handling difficulty quantitatively on the basis of the ship operator's subjective judgement for safety in navigation The calculation of ES value was made on the basis of three factors such as channel width, ship's length and speed in straight and channels for safe navigation. The interrelation between factors was analyzed and reasonable design standards of channel width, ship's length and speed were proposed for safe navigation of ship in bend channel.
