Jimee Kim,Hye-Young Lee 한국생활환경학회 2016 한국생활환경학회지 Vol.23 No.4

This study was attempted to identify the current status of self-rated health(SRH) of the aged and its related factors. This study used the original data of 2012 Community Health Survey implemented by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As a result of this study, the positive rate of SRH among old adults was appeared to be 24.6%. Older adults reside in urban areas may have statistically and significantly higher possibility to have positive SRH than older adults reside in rural areas. As shown from model 3, the socio-demographic factors of age, education level, income, life style factors like smoking, drinking, physical activities, participation in exercise programs, influenza vaccination and unmet medical needs, psycho-social factors of stress and depression, and physical condition such as activity limitation, injury experience and most of chronic diseases excluding UI of male older adults and pulmonary tuberculosis of female older adults are still showing statistically significant relationships with the regional factors. Thus it is necessary to clarify the effects of individual factors and regional factors related to SRH of the aged, plus, investigating variables of regional effects by considering the social environment conditions related to health.

The purpose of study was to assess the relationship between perception of COVID-19 risk (dread risk and unknown risk) and perception and compliance of COVID-19 precautions in nursing students. A convenience sample of 340 nursing students from three universities answered a self-administered questionnaire. The results indicated that low levels of perceived unknown risk increased perception and compliance of precautionary behaviors. Furthermore, concern about COVID-19 infection and support to universities and government for responding to COVID-19 were associated with compliance of precautionary behaviors. The findings suggest that providing evidence on COVID-19 and precautionary behaviors is needed to improve awareness and compliance of personal quarantine rules for COVID-19 prevention.

본 연구는 노인의 사회인구적 특성이 전체죽음불안 및 세부영역별 죽음불안에 미치는 영향을 탐색하여 노인의 죽음불안에 대한 심층적 이해를 돕고 나아가 다양한 중재프로그램 개발에 필요한 기초자료 제공에 궁극적인 목적을 두었다. 연구대상은 편의표집한 경기도 S시 재가노인 156명이며, 국내에서 개발된 죽음불안척도를 가지고 개별 면접조사 하였으며 SPSS 12.0을 이용하여 기술통계와 t검정, F검정과 Scheffe 검정, 상관관계분석, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 대상노인의 전체죽음불안은 2.61(±.47)점이었고 세부영역별로 '죽음과정불안'(2.94점)이 가장 높았다. 노인의 전체 죽음불안 및 세부영역별 죽음불안수준에 영향을 미치는 공통요인은 '나이', '경제상태'이었고 개별적으로 전체죽음불안에는 '교육(β=-.16, p=.045)'만 이, '존재상실불안'에는 '가족관계(β=-.21, p=.010)'만 이, '죽음과정불안'에는 '성별(β=.17, p=.028)' 만 이 유의미하게 나타났다. 결론적으로 젊은 노인이거나 경제상태가 어려울수록 보편적으로 죽음불안이 높아질 수 있지만 가족관계가 나쁘면 '존재상실불안'이 높고 여성노인은 '죽음과정불안'이 높아질 수 있다. 따라서 노인의 사회인구적 특성에 따라 죽음불안을 느끼는 세부영역이 다를 수 있음을 알게 되었다. 추후 다양한 대상으로 한 반복연구 및 죽음불안의 설명력을 높일 수 있는 주요 관련변수를 확대 적용하는 것이 필요하다. The purpose of this study is to explore effective factors of elderly people's overall death anxiety and sub-dimensions of death anxiety. The subjects were 156 elderly people in S City, Gyeonggi-Do gathered by convenience sampling. This study collected data by interviewing the elderly who agreed to participate in the study and then analyzed it using SPSS 12.0 through descriptive statistics, the t-test, F-test, Sheffe-test, correlation analysis, and multiple regression. The respondents' overall death anxiety score was 2.61(±.47), and 'anxiety in the dying process'(2.94) had the highest points among sub-dimensions. Effective factors of overall level of death anxiety among the elderly were 'age' (β=-.18, p=.015), 'education' (β=-.16, p=.045), and 'economic status' (β=-.26, p=.003). In sub-dimensions, the elderly who were female, relatively young, and had low economic status showed high 'anxiety in the dying process'. As for 'anxiety over what will happen after one's death', the elderly who were relatively young, and had low economic status had high scores. Finally, on 'the loss of existence', the elderly who had poor relationships with their families had high scores.

This study is performed to establish a study guideline about low back pain of nurses in future through organized consideration of studies about nurses' LBP. Searching with the keyword 'nurse' or 'low back pain', we selected 26 studies, and on criteria of analysis, each item have over 0.75 in content validity index. Mainly, subject was nurse in hospital (22 studies) and theme of study was risk factors of LBP (17studies). Study design of 14 studies was correlation study, and 16 studies used parametic statistics for analysis method. In definition of LBP, studies mainly surveyed self-reported symptoms, and discontinuous scale used in 17 studies. 7 studies measured rate of current LBP experiences and 6 studies reported 60% of LBP appeal. In their 20s, and unmarried are more likely to have LBP. Among vairables of LBP, 'type of unit' (in 18 studies) and 'duration of employment' (in 18) are mainly used in work organization, and 'jab satisfaction' (in 8) and 'job stress' (in 5) are most in psychosocial factor. 'Exercise' (in 7) and 'learning experience of LBP prevention and application of body mechanics' (in 7) are used in personal factor, and in physical workload, 'lifting something too heavy' (in 9) and 'keep standing during their work' (in 8) occupied great part. There are 4 studies which applied intervention programs. They applied body mechanics, exercise program to protect vertebra, LBP preventing exercise on lifestyle interventions (in 2) and did tuna treatment, Sinapis semen finger-pressure therapy on rehabilitative intervention (in 2).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in the structural relationship of nursing students’ performance related to nosocomial infection control (NIC). Method: Data was collected by using a questionnaire completed by 238 nursing students of three nursing colleges in Suwon, Sokcho. Results: The mean score of performance related to NIC was 3.86. The highest mean score of performance related to NIC was 4.18 (±0.91) for ‘hand washing’ and the lowest mean score was 3.56 (±1.08) for ‘respiratory system’. In prediction of the intention of nursing students’ on NIC, the attitude, the subjective norm, and the perceived behavior control(PBC) of TPB resulted in statistically significant influencing factors (p<0.050). These three variables explained 47.6% of the total variance of the intention of nursing students’ on NIC. In predicting the performance related to NIC, the PBC resulted in the direct and main influencing factor of nursing students’ performance related to NIC (p<0.010). Intention was not a significant determinant. These two variables explained 13.2% of total variance of the performance related to NIC. Conclusion: This study shows the TPB model’s applicability in explaining performance related to NIC of nursing students and highlights the importance of PBC for strategies to enhance performance related to NIC in nursing students.

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between walking and community-based environment [CBE] in adults. From the original data of Community Health Survey 2012, this study was analyzed 215,895 adults aged 19 years and over by using SAS 9.3. Walking is defined physical activity more 5 times a week at least 30 minutes per day. Prevalence of walking was 39.9%(male 41.6%, female 38.4%) in adults. There were significant different in walking according to socio-demograhic factors(p<.05), health related factors(p<.05), CBE(p<.001) irrespective of sex excluding number of chronic disease, drinking. After adjustment for socio-demographic factors and health related factors, walking was significantly associated with residence, area distribution of public sports facilities, number of public sports facilities, number of daily life sports facilities(p<.001). These finding suggest that CBE may have an effect on walking in adults.

Purpose: This study to identify valuated the competency in nursing leadership among new nurses through the perception of nursing managers. Methods: This a total of 136 nursing managers from two general hospitals in the Seoul metropolitan area were included in this study. Nursing leadership competencies in new nurses were measured using the Student Leadership Practices Inventory developed by Kouzes and Posner. We identified priorities in the development of nursing leadership competencies for new nurses. Results: The overall importance and performance of nursing leadership competencies for new nurses were assessed by nursing managers at an average of 3.92±0.37 and, 2.84±0.50, respectively. Of the 30 nursing leadership competencies, 11 would need to be maintained and strengthened, seven would need to focus on improvement efforts, and 11 would have low priority. The last one was overdone. Conclusion: Of the 18 items of high importance based on the nursing leadership competencies among new nurses identified, for seven items indicating low performance, the performance of nurses should be improved by introducing nursing leadership development programs after they enter the work environment. Eleven low-priority nursing leadership competencies require a long-term strategic approach and need to spread the understanding of nursing leadership throughout the nursing organization.

This study aimed to understand factors related with mobility limitation among low-income elderly women. Subjects included 134 basic livlihood security recipients who were 65 or older women in S-gu, Seoul and agreed to our visit. Mobility limitation were measured by self-reports. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify relative contributing factors in mobility difficulty. Mobility limitations among low-income elderly women showed 60.4% in 'walking up 10 stairs without resting', 57.5% in 'lifting or carrying a bag of rice, 8 ㎏' and 48.5% in 'walking 400 m'. There were significant differences in mobility limitations by age, discomfort, self-rated health, physical activity, depression. The odds ratios (OR) for aging were 1.1 times-12.5 times. Subjects reporting discomfort were more likely to develop mobility difficulty than those reporting no discomfort (OR=1.6-22.9). Relative to the good health or person in doing physical activity, the poor health (OR=2.1-6.0), not doing physical activity (OR=1.3-4.0) were more likely to develop mobility difficulty. Low-income elderly women feeling moderate or severe depression were more likely to develop mobility limitation (OR=1.1-5.0). On the basis of understanding to knowledge of the mobility limitation among low-income'elderly women, prevention program activities for disability need to address characteristics of them in mobility difficulty. Also, for developing evidence based program, further study was suggested to look into mobility limitation longitudinally.
