  • Purpose: This study investigated changes in interpersonal violence and utilization of trauma recovery services during the COVID-19 pandemic. At an urban level I trauma center, trauma recovery services (TRS) provide education, counseling, peer support, and coordination of rehabilitation and recovery to address social and mental health needs. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted considerable changes in hospital services and increases in interpersonal victimization. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted between September 6, 2018 and December 20, 2020 for 1,908 victim-of-crime patients, including 574 victims of interpersonal violence. Outcomes included length of stay associated with initial TRS presentation, number of subsequent emergency department visits, number of outpatient appointments, and utilization of specific specialties within the year following the initial traumatic event. Results: Patients were primarily female (59.4%), single (80.1%), non-Hispanic (86.7%), and Black (59.2%). The mean age was 33.0 years, and 247 patients (49.2%) presented due to physical assault, 132 (26.3%) due to gunshot wounds, and 76 (15.1%) due to sexual assault. The perpetrators were primarily partners (27.9%) or strangers (23.3%). During the study period, 266 patients (mean, 14.9 patients per month) presented before the declaration of COVID-19 as a national emergency on March 13, 2020, while 236 patients (mean, 25.9 patients per month) presented afterward, representing a 74.6% increase in victim-of-crime patients treated. Interactions with TRS decreased during the COVID-19 period, with an average of 3.0 interactions per patient before COVID-19 versus 1.9 after emergency declaration (P<0.01). Similarly, reductions in length of stay were noted; the pre-COVID-19 average was 3.6 days, compared to 2.1 days post-COVID-19 (P=0.01). Conclusions: While interpersonal violence increased, TRS interactions decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting interruption of services, COVID-19 precautions, and postponement/cancellation of elective visits. Future direction of hospital policy to enable resource and service delivery to this population, despite internal and external challenges, appears warranted.

  • 연구목적 : Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool(PSST)를 통해서, DSM-IV상의 월경전불쾌장애(premenstrual dysphoric disorder, PMDD)에 대한 진단기준을 사용하여 월경전기증후군(premenstrual syndrome, PMS) 및 PMDD의 빈도, 기능장애, 위험인자들, 월경에 대한 태도, PMS 및 PMDD의 발현 양상 들을 조사하여 보았다. 방 법 : 서울 및 수도권의 중소도시인 수원에 소재하는 대학교에 다니는 여학생들을 대상으로 하여 월경에의 태도 질문지, PSST를 사용한 단면 조사연구를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 총 1410명에게 질문지가 배부되었으며, 그 중 1063부에 대하여 분석하였다. 응답자들은 PSST의 결과에 따라 3군[정상/경도 PMS군(n=759, 71.4%), 심한 PMS군(n=180, 16.9%), PMDD군(n=124, 11.7%)]으로 분류하였다. 각 군별로는 기본적인 역학적 변수 및 위험 인자(음주, 커피 소비, 월경통의 강도, PMS의 가족력)들의 분포에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 응답자들을 또한 월경에 대한 태도에 따라 3군으로 구분하였다[긍정적 태도군(n=168), 부정적 태도군(n=122), 양가적 태도군(n=773)]. 심각한 월경전기 증상들을 호소하는 이들의 비율은 이 3가지 태도군 간에 유의한 차이가 있어서, 부정적 태도군은 다른 군들에 비해 더 많은 월경전기 증상들을 보고하였다. 결 론 : PMS와 PMDD는 한국의 젊은 여성들에서 널리 발견된다. 일부 응답자들은 그들이 PMDD에 대한 DSM-IV의 진단기준을 완전히 충족시키지 못하였음에도 유의한 기능손상을 보고하였다. 일반적으로, 월경에 대한 부정적인 태도는 더 많은 월경전기 증상들의 경험과 관련이 있었다.

  • 본 연구는 우리나라 고령자들을 연령대별로 70대군, 80대군, 90대군 및 100세 이상 군으로 구분하여 이들의 ADL과 IADL수준을 비교해 보고, 그에 관련된 요인을 규명하고자 시도하였다. 조사대상은 2009~2012년도에 국민건강보험공단의 건강검진 수검 및 장기요양 인정조사를 받았던 70세 이상 고령자 1,756명(남성 872명, 여성 884명)이었다. 연구결과, 조사대상자의 연령대별 ADL과 IADL기능장애군의 분포는 연령대가 증가할수록 유의하게 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 ADL에 대한 기능장애가 나타날 위험비는 각 연령대별로 큰 차이 없이 남성보다 여성에서, 농촌지역보다 도시지역에서, 정상체중군보다 저체중군에서, 뇌졸중 과거력이 없다는 군보다 있다는 군에서, 비흡연군보다 흡연군에서, 비음주군보다 음주군에서, 규칙적인 운동을 한다는 군보다 하지 않는다는 군에서 유의하게 증가하였다. 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 IADL에 대한 기능장애가 나타날 위험비는 각 연령대별로 큰 차이 없이 남성보다 여성에서, 정상체중군보다 저체중군에서, 비흡연군보다 흡연군에서, 비음주군보다 음주군에서 유의하게 증가하였다. 이상과 같은 연구결과는 조사대상자들의 ADL과 IADL 수준이 여러 인구사회학적 및 건강관련행위특성 변수에 따라 유의한 차이를 보이고 있음을 알 수 있으며, 특히 흡연, 음주 및 규칙적인 운동 등과 같은 건강관련행위특성이 좋지 않은 군에서 ADL과 IADL 수준이 저하되고 있음을 알 수 있다.

  • Objectives: To assess knowledge of HPV and attitudes towards HPV vaccination among the general female population, government officials, and healthcare providers in China to assist the development of an effective national HPV vaccination program. Methods: A cross-sectional epidemiologic survey was conducted across 21 urban and rural sites in China using a short questionnaire. 763 government officials, 760 healthcare providers, and 11,681 women aged 15-59 years were included in the final analysis. Data were analyzed using standard descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Results: Knowledge of HPV among the general female population was low; only 24% had heard of HPV. Less than 20% of healthcare providers recognized sexually na$\ddot{i}$ve women as the most appropriate population for HPV vaccination. There was high acceptance of the HPV vaccine for all categories of respondents. Only 6% of women were willing to pay more than US $300 for the vaccine. Conclusions: Aggressive education is necessary to increase knowledge of HPV and its vaccine. Further proof of vaccine safety and efficacy and government subsidies combined with increased awareness could facilitate development and implementation of HPV vaccination in China.

  • This study was conducted with the aim of providing the basic data for an informative and educational program designed to give a guideline how to keep and care the skin healthy and proper. Female freshmen, enrolled in colleges in Jeonbuk provincial area, were surveyed about their status of health and way of skin care and make-up. The results of research were summarized as follows: First, 268 students(65.4%) were 19 years old or younger. Among the respondents, 219 persons(54.4%) lived in small or medium cities and 271(66.1%) showed less than 20 of body mass index($kg/m^{2}$). Second, there were statistically significant correlations between dwelling place, drinking habit(p<0.05), and subjective health status(p<0.05) with health, skin care and make-up habit. Third, drinking, subjective health status appeared to be significant variables affecting facial skin(p<0.05) and health status(p<0.01), respectively. Forth, smoking and regular meal seemed to affect the length of make-up(p<.05) and smoking esd strongly connected with the extent of make-up. The way of thinking about cosmetics were affected by the habits of drinking(p<0.05) and smoking(p<0.01), respectively. Drinking habit was the significant variable of health affecting on the belief in the effect of cosmetics. Fifth, skin health was negatively correlated with drinking and smoking habits and positively with subjective health status, BMI($kg/m^{2}$) and frequency of make-up. Sixth, healthier state of facial skin appeared to be happened with statistical significance(p<0.01) in rural areas than in urban areas and with a person of higher than 20 of BMI($kg/m^{2}$) than of less than 20 from the regression analysis. It has been estimated that there were meaningful correlations between the status of health and make-up among female freshmen. Accordingly, the concept of health reinforcement can be adopted to skin care and skin maintenance, so various and comprehensive approaching methods were required to improve and reinforce the skin management and cosmetic culture.

  • 목적: 한국 중고등학생을 대상으로 전국 16개 시도의 지역별 시력 분포를 나타내는데 대표적인 시각적 분포기법인 지리정보체계(geographic information system, GIS)를 활용하였다. 방법: 2009년부터 2011년도의 국민건강영양조사(NHANES)의 자료를 이용하여 인구 기반 단면 연구로 디자인하였다. 나안시력의 정보가 제공된 만 13~18세의 총 1,049명을 대상으로 하였고, 남자가 549명(52.3%), 여자가 500명(47.7%) 이었다. 지역은 전국을 16개 시도로 구분하였고, 각 지역별 평균 시력을 활용하였다. 공간분석 방법으로 GIS 기법을 활용하여 지역별 시력수준의 격차를 나타내었다. 결과: 연구 대상자의 평균 나안시력은 성별에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다(p=0.001). 지역별 남학생과 여학생 그룹의 평균 시력은 16개 시도에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 중고등학생의 지역별 시력 격차를 시각적 분포기법으로 나타내고자 GIS를 이용하여 지도화 하였다. 결론: 지역별 시력의 격차를 나타내는데 GIS 기법은 시각적으로 효과적인 분포도를 제공하였다.

  • 농촌주민들 가운데 만성 상부위장장애증상을 가진 사람들이 어떤 위장질환을 갖고 있는지를 조사하고 그 관리대책을 마련하기 위하여 1984년 7월${\sim}8$월에 성주와 영천군의 전 주민들을 대상으로 최근 6개월이상 상부위장장애증상으로 고통을 받으면서도 의사의 진단을 받아본 적이 없으며 본 조사에 응한 20세이상의 남자 106명, 여자 108명, 합계 214명을 대상으로 위내시경 검사를 시행하였다. 대상자의 16.8%가 위궤양, 15.4%가 십이지장궤양, 14.0%가 위염, 그리고 3.7%가 위암이었으며 내시경 검사상 아무런 병소부위가 발견되지 않았던 경우가 52.3%나 되었다. 위궤양은 남자가 26.4%로 여자의 7.4%보다 많았으며(p<0.01) 십이지장궤양도 남자가 20.8%로 여자의 10.2%보다 많았다(p<0.01). 남자의 7.5%가 위암이었으며 여자들 가운데는 한 명도 없었으며 60대에서 가장 높은 유병율을 보였다. 위장장애증상이 있음에도 내시경검사상 아무런 병소부위가 없는 사람이 남자는 35.9%인데 비해 여자는 68.5%였다. 위장장애증상과 내시경소견 사이에는 특별한 연관성이 없었다. 본 조사에서 위궤양이 십이지장궤양보다 더 많은 것은 농촌지역 주민들의 식생활 및 사회생활관경과 관련이 있는 것으로 생각된다. 위암은 조기발견이 치료에 가장 중요하나 증상이 있어도 진찰을 받지않는 사람이 많은 것은 농촌주민들의 암에 대한 인식부족과 의료기관이용의 어려움등에 기인된 것으로 생각되므로 집단검진과 같은 위암조기발견을 위한 국가적시책이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
