1. Background Women's health and their involvement in health care are essential to health for everyone. If they are ignorant, malnourished or over-worked, the health &-their families as well as their own health will suffer. Women's health depends on broad considerations beyond medicine. Among other things, it depends upon their work in farming. their subordination to their families, their accepted roles, and poor hygiene with poorly equipped housing and environmental sanitation. 2. Objectives and Contents a. The health status of rural women : physical and mental complaints, experience of pesticides intoxication, Farmer's syndrome, experiences of reproductive health problems. b. participation in and attitudes towards housework and farming c. accessibility of medical care d. status of maternal health : fertility, family planning practice. induced abortion, and maternal care 3. Research method A nationwide field survey, based on stratified random sampling, was conducted during July, 1986. Revised Cornell Medical index(68 out of 195 items). Kawagai's Farmers Syndrome Scale, and self-developed structured questionnaires were used to rural farming wives(n=2.028). aged between 26-55. 4. Characteristics of the respondents mean age : 40.2 marital status : 90.8% married mean no. of household : 4.9 average years of education : 4.7 yrs. average income of household : \235,000 average years of residence in rural area : 36.4 yrs average Working hours(household and farming) : 11 hrs. 23 min 5. Health Status of rural women a. The average number of physical and mental symptoms were 12.4, 4.7, and the rate of complaints were 22.1%, 38.8% each. revealing complaints of mental symptomes higher than physical ones. b. 65.4% of rural women complained of more than 4 symptoms out of 9, indicating farmer's syndrome. 11.9 % experienced pesticide overdue syndrome c. 57.6% of respondents experienced women-specific health problems. d. Age and education of respondents were the variables which affect on the level of their health 6. Utilization of medical services a. The number of symptoms and complaints of respondents were dependent on the distance to where the health-care service is given b. Drug store was the most commonly utilized due to low price and the distance to reach. while nurse practitioners were well utilized when there were nurse practitioner's office in their villages. c. Rural women were internalized their subordination to husbands and children, revealing they are positive(93%) in health-care demand for-them but negative(30%) for themselves d. 33.0% of respondents were habitual drug users, 4.5% were smokers and 32.3% were alcohol drinkers. and 86.3% experienced induced-abortion. But most of them(77.6%) knew that those had negative effects on health. 7. Maternal Health Care a. Practice rate of contraception was 48.1% : female users were 90.9% in permanent and 89.6% in temporary contraception b. Induced abortions were taken mostly at hospital(86.3%), while health centers(4.7%), midwiferies(4.3%). and others(4.5%) including drug stores were listed a few. The repeated numbers of induced abortion seemed affected on the increasing numbers of symptoms and complaints. c. The first pre-natal check-up during first trimester was 41.8%, safe delivery rate was 15.6%, post-natal check-up during two months after delivery. Rural women had no enough rest after delivery revealing average days of rest from home work and farming 8.3 and 17.2. d. 86.6% practised breast feeding, showing younger and more educated mothers depending on artificial milk 8. Recommendations a. To lessen the multiple role over burden housing and sanitary conditions should be improved, and are needed farming machiner es for women and training on the use of them b. Health education should begin at primary school including health behavior and living environment. c. Women should be encouraged to become policy-makers as well as administrators in the field of women specific health affairs. d. Women's health indicators should be developed and women's health surveillance system too.

모데미풀 자생지 4지역(광덕산, 태기산, 점봉산, 소백산)에 대한 유연관계를 알아보기 위하여 외부형태, 주성분분석과 유집분석, 식생 및 토양분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 외부형태형질 중 유의성이 있는 형질로는 주로 꽃에 관한 형질과 삭과에 대한 형 질, 즉 꽃받침의 길이와 폭, 꽃받침지수, 꽃받침 열편에 거치의 존재유무, 화경의 길이와 분지 유무 등은 4집단을 구분하는데 유의성이 있는 형질로 나타났다. 그러나 식물의 높이, 총포, 종자의 특징 등은 변이가 매우 심하여 형질로서 가치가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 13가지의 양적 형질을 이용한 주성분분석 결과 주성분1(31.3%), 주성분2(20, 7%), 주성분 3(15.8%)이 총 67.79%의 기여율을 보였으며 주성분 1과 2를 이차원공간에 도시한 결과 태기산집단은 다른 세집단과 구별이 가능하였다. 평균연결방법과 Ward's법에 의한 유집분석 결과, 유집군들의 구성은 거의 동일하게 나타났으며, 집단간에는 서로 중복되어 나타나 구별이 불가능하였다. 식생조사 결과 상대피도와 상대빈도에 의한 중요치는 모데미풀이 50.82%로 가장 높게 나타났으며 그 다음으로는 눈개승마(12.64%), 현호색 (11.62%), 박새(11.45%), 홀아비바람꽃(8.96%), 벌깨덩굴(8.76%), 터리풀(7.06%), 진범(5.66%), 큰개별꽃(5.45%), 솜때(5.25%)의 순으로 나타나 이 종류들이 모데미 풀과 친화도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 지역별로는 전지역에서 모데미풀이 가장 높았고 중요치가 높은 종류들은 자생지 별로 약간 차이를 보였다. 종다양성은 평균 1.40으로 나타났으며 광덕산(1.31)이 가장 높고 점봉산(1.17)이 가장 낮았다. 토양의 pH는 평균 5.25로 대부분 비슷하였고, 소백산은 Mg의 함량은 가장 낮았지만, E.C., 포장용수량, 유기물, 인산, Ca, K함량이 가장 높게 나타났다. E.C., 유기 물함량, Ca의 함량은 광덕산이 가장 낮았으며, 점봉산은 Mg의 함량이 가장 높은 반면 포장용수량, 인산, K의 함량이 가장 낮게 나타났다.
