An Evaluative Study on the Quality of Papers on the Effects of the Smoking Prevention Programs in Korea

Park, Eunok Korean Society for Health Education and Promotion 2003 보건교육건강증진학회지 Vol.20 No.4

This investigation was performed to summarize a few prominent features of smoking prevention program studies and to evaluate the quality of smoking prevention program studies using the Quality of Study Rating Form (QSRF). 24 school-based smoking prevention programs were subjected to an evaluation of study quality using QSRF. Study quality was 57.29 points out of 100 points on average, so it cannot be said that study quality was good. Most of the studies described the subjects and the intervention contents and intervention time. 50% stated where the intervention occurred specifically, 50% of the studies either discussed a specific theory that justified the use of one or more intervention methods, or they cited literature said to support the chosen intervention method. Only one study assigned subjects randomly to experimental groups or control groups and 50.0% of the studies showed baseline equality. There was no study where subjects were blind to being in the treatment or control group or where subjects were selected randomly by random sampling procedure. 79.2% of the studies had non-treated control groups and 20.8% of the studies had comparison groups with other treatments in the form of either other delivery methods or other contents. Sample sizes were larger than 21 in the experimental group for all studies. 75% of the studies stated face validity of outcome measure or cited from previous literature. 58.3% of the studies tested reliability and 45.8% reported the reliability measure was a figure of .70 or greater. There was no study where those rating outcomes were rated blind, because researchers generally collected data by themselves. Outcome measures were taken only after the intervention was completed and tests of statistical significance were generally referred to statistical method and p value in all studies. All studies met the criteria that follow-up was greater than 75%. The implications for the future studies were discussed.

A Study on Ethics of Arbitrators Focusing on Impartiality and Independence – with Implications for Korea

Eunok Park 한국무역학회 2015 Journal of Korea trade Vol.19 No.4

With many advantages, arbitration has become one of the most effective and efficient dispute resolution systems in international commercial transactions. Since arbitration is a private system that relies on arbitrators, who are also private persons, selecting an arbitrator is one of the most important processes in arbitration. The qualifications for arbitrators vary in different jurisdictions, but the common qualifications regarding arbitrator ethics are defined either in national laws or in the rules of arbitral institutions. Most national laws and arbitral institutions’ rules require arbitrators to be impartial and independent, but their definitions are not clearly determined. Although it seems somewhat late, the KCAB is drafting ‘the Codes of Ethics for Arbitrators’ who are serving for arbitration cases under the jurisdiction of the KCAB. The draft is based on the frame of the IBA Rules of Ethics, but it will need some additions as well as modifications. Upon drafting the ethical codes, it is necessary to clearly determine the meaning of impartiality and independence which are mostly discussed regarding arbitrators’ ethical obligations. Therefore, this paper studies arbitrators’ ethical obligations regulated in the various national laws and the rules of arbitral institutions. This paper mostly focuses on impartiality and independence of arbitrators.

Individual differences in cardiac vagal tone are associated with differential neural responses to facial expressions at different spatial frequencies: an ERP and sLORETA study.

Park, Gewnhi,Moon, Eunok,Kim, Do-Won,Lee, Seung-Hwan Psychonomic Society 2012 Cognitive, affective & behavioral neuroscience Vol.12 No.4

<P>A previous study has shown that greater cardiac vagal tone, reflecting effective self-regulatory capacity, was correlated with superior visual discrimination of fearful faces at high spatial frequency Park et al. (Biological Psychology 90:171-178, 2012b). The present study investigated whether individual differences in cardiac vagal tone (indexed by heart rate variability) were associated with different event-related brain potentials (ERPs) in response to fearful and neutral faces. Thirty-six healthy participants discriminated the emotion of fearful and neutral faces at broad, high, and low spatial frequencies, while ERPs were recorded. Participants with low resting heart rate variability-characterized by poor functioning of regulatory systems-exhibited significantly greater N200 activity in response to fearful faces at low spatial frequency and greater LPP responses to neutral faces at high spatial frequency. Source analyses-estimated by standardized low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA)-tended to show that participants with low resting heart rate variability exhibited increased source activity in visual areas, such as the cuneus and the middle occipital gyrus, as compared with participants with high resting heart rate variability. The hyperactive neural activity associated with low cardiac vagal tone may account for hypervigilant response patterns and emotional dysregulation, which heightens the risk of developing physical and emotional problems.</P>

박은옥(Eunok Park) 한국농촌의학 지역보건학회 2014 농촌의학·지역보건 Vol.39 No.3

본 연구는 성별 일반적 특성에 따른 자살생각률을 비교하고, 자살생각률에 영향을 주는 요인을 성별로 분석하여 자살생각과 관련한 남녀 간 차이를 이해하고, 자살예방을 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 수행되었다. 2010년과 2011년에 수집된 국민건강조사 제5기 1, 2차년도 원시자료를 이차분석 하였으며, 20세 이상 성인을 대상으로 하였다. 우리나라 20세 이상 성인의 성별 자살생각률은 남자는 9.8%, 여자는 18.9%로 여자가 더 높은 비율을 보였다. 성별 인구사회학적 특성을 비교한 결과 여자가 가구소득수준이 ‘하’인 경우가 남자보다 높고, 초등학교 졸업자 비율이 높으며, 직업이 없는 비율이 더 높았다. 여자가 건강수준이 더 좋지 않았으며, 흡연, 음주, 고위험음주, 알코올 의존 등 건강에 해로운 건강행위를 남자가 더 많이 하는 것으로 나타났고, 걷기 실천 등 신체활동도 더 많이 하지만, 비만율도 남자가 더 높게 나타났다. 스트레스나 우울감 등은 여자가 더 높아 정신건강수준은 여자가 더 좋지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 성별 일반적 특성에 따른 자살생각률을 비교한 결과, 남녀 모두에게 공통적으로 자살생각률에 유의한 차이가 나타난 변수는 거주지역, 연령, 개인소득, 가구소득, 교육수준, 직업, 결혼상태, 기초생활수급권자여부, 독거, 건강수준, 질병상태, 활동제한, 와병여부, 아토피, 신부전증, 흡연, 알코올 의존, 격렬한 신체활동, 수면시간, 스트레스, 우울감 등이었다. 남자의 경우에만 자살생각률에 유의한 차이가 나타난 변수는 월간 음주, 여자에서만 자살생각률에 유의한 차이를 보인 변수는 비만이었다. 성별 자살생각 관련 요인을 파악하기 위하여 다변량 로지스틱 회귀분석을 한 결과, 남녀 모두에게 자살생각률에 유의한 위험요인은 신부전, 우울, 우울감, 스트레스 인지, 건강수준, 흡연이었으며, 남자에게만 유의한 변수는 결혼상태, 활동 제한, 격렬한 신체활동 등이었고, 여자에게만 유의한 변수는 교육수준과 알콜의존이었다. 남자의 경우, 65세 이상(교차비 3.35), 이혼, 별거, 사별 상태(2.15), 건강수준이 나쁜 경우(1.52), 활동제한(2.21), 신부전(4.84), 우울증(3.85), 흡연(1.42), 스트레스(3.45), 우울감(8.65)이 자살생각 위험을 높이는 것으로 나타났고, 이들 변수에 의해 자살생각을 예측하는 비율은 80.8%였다. 여자의 경우 초등학교 졸업 미만의 학력을 가진 경우(2.21), 건강수준이 나쁜 편(1.81), 신부전(11.73), 우울증(3.19), 흡연(1.70), 알코올 의존(2.09), 스트레스(3.01), 우울감(6.88) 등이 자살생각의 위험요인이었고, 이들 변수에 의해 자살생각을 예측하는 비율은 79.9%였다. 자살생각 위험요인이 남녀 간 다른 양상으로 나타났으므로 자살 예방을 위한 중재 방안을 모색함에 있어서 이러한 성별 자살생각 위험요인을 고려하여야 할 것이다. Objectives: This study investigates the prevalence of suicide ideation and its the related factors by gender among Korean adults. Methods: National cross-sectional data from the database of the first and second year of 5th Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (KNHANES V-1, V-2) were used for this study. 13,165 adults (≥20 years) were included in this analysis. Results: The prevalence of suicide ideation was 9.8% for men, 18.9% for women. Renal failure, depression, melancholy, stress, perceived health status, and smoking were significant risk factors among both men and women for suicide ideation. Divorced, separated or widowed of marital status and severe physical activity were related factors of suicide ideation for men. Low educational attainment, and alcohol dependency were associated factors of suicide ideation for women. Conclusions: There was gender difference of prevalence and risk factors of suicide ideation. These gender differences should be considered for planning and implementing suicide prevention program.

제주지역 성인의 사회적 지지와 우울

박은옥(Eunok Park) 한국농촌의학 지역보건학회 2011 농촌의학·지역보건 Vol.36 No.1

본 연구는 성인의 사회적 지지와 우울 정도를 파악하고, 일반적 특성에 따라 사회적 지지와 우울정도를 비교하며, 사회적 지지와 우울 간에 관계를 분석하여 우울에 미치는 사회적 지지의 효과를 파악함으로써, 우울 예방 및 관리를 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 수행되었다. 본 연구의 자료는 제주특별자치도에서 지원하여 수행한 ‘제주도민 우울실태조사’ 연구과제의 원시자료를 이용하여 이차분석 하였으며, 연구대상은 제주지역에서 계층적 무작위 집락 표출법을 이용하여 선정한 750가구의 성인이었으며, 24명의 훈련된 조사원이 2007년 11월부터 12월까지 가구면접조사를 통해 수집한 1,155명의 자료를 분석하였다. 우울은 The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D)를 이용하였고, 사회적 지지는 The Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Social Support Survey 도구를 이용하였다. 연구결과, 우울은 평균 11.35점이었고. 사회적 지지는 평균 75.53점이었다. 주관적 건강수준이 낮을수록, 스트레스가 높을수록, 학력이 낮을수록, 결혼상태가 미혼이거나 배우자가 있는 경우보다 이혼 및 사별인 경우, 사회경제적 수준이 낮을수록, 종교가 없는 경우 우울 정도는 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이 여섯개의 독립변수가 설명하는 변량은 29.8%였고, 회귀모형은 유의하였다. 사회적 지지가 포함되었을 때, 결혼상태, 사회경제적 수준, 종교는 유의하지 않았고, 사회적 지지와 주관적 건강수준, 스트레스, 교육수준은 우울에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 회귀모형을 유의하였고, 설명되는 변량은 36.9%로 사회적 지지가 포함되지 않았을 때보다 7.4%가 증가하였다. 또한 단계적 회귀분석을 하였을 때, 사회적 지지가 설명하는 변량은 22%로 비교적 높았고, 주관적 건강수준으로 설명변량이 11.4% 증가하였고, 스트레스 인지를 추가하여 우울에 대한 설명변량이 2.7%가 증가한 것으로 나타나, 다른 변수들에 비해 사회적 지지의 설명 변량이 높은 편이었고, 회귀계수도 β=-.319로 비교적 큰 편이었다. 사회적 지지는 본 연구에 포함된 다른 여러 변수에 비해 우울을 가장 잘 설명해주는 요인이므로 사회적 지지 강화 프로그램을 마련하여 우울예방과 관리를 위한 하나의 전략으로 활용할 것을 제안한다. Objectives: This study aimed to compare depression and social support according to general characteristics and to investigate the influence of social support on depression. Methods: This study analyzed raw data from a project funded by Jeju Province. Data were collected through home visit interview with 750 households selected by using a randomized cluster sampling method. CES-D was used to measure depression, and the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey was used to measure social support. The data of 1,155 subjects were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and regression. Results: The mean was 11.35 for depression and 75.53 for social support. Women showed a higher depression score and a lower social support score than men did. Older people; the divorced or the bereaved; and those in groups comprising people with lower education, lower social class, poor health, or high stress presented higher depression and lower social support. The result of stepwise regression showed that social support was one of the predictive variables of depression, and 22% of variance was explained by social support in this study. Conclusions: Social support was a powerful predictive variable of depression, and it was suggested that to prevent and manage depression, strategies that enhance social support should be developed and evaluated.

박은옥(Eunok Park),장인순(Insun Jang) 한국콘텐츠학회 2013 한국콘텐츠학회논문지 Vol.13 No.5

본 연구는 재가노인의 낙상환경위험평가 도구를 개발하고, 신뢰도와 타당도를 검정하는 방법론적 연구이다. 예비문항은 20인의 관련 전문가에 의한 CVI(내용타당도 지수)를 사용한 내용타당도 검정을 실시하여 최종 52문항을 선정하였다. 최종도구의 타당도 및 신뢰도 검정을 위해 65세 이상 재가노인 299명에게 자료수집을 실시하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 조사자간 신뢰도는 1개 문항을 제외한 51개 문항에서 모두 kappa값이 0.80 이상으로 나타나 신뢰도가 인정되었고, 재조사방법을 통하여 나타난 일치율은 45개 문항에서 모두 80.0% 이상으로 나타났다. 구성타당도도 낙상군과 비낙상군간에 낙상환경위험평가 점수가 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내 입증되었다(t=3.50, p=.001). 본 도구는 타당도와 신뢰도가 검증되었고, 낙상예방을 위한 더 안전한 환경의 개발과 관련된 추후연구에 기여할 것이다. The purpose of the study was to develop the home fall prevention checklist for community-dwelling older adults. And the validity and reliability of the checklist were tested. The preliminary questions were developed through content validity by twenty experts using the CVI(Content Validity Index). Following the establishment of content validity, 52 items of the checklist were developed. Responses of 299 community-dwelling older adults were analyzed to further establish both reliability and validity of the checklist. Reliability using cohens kappa coefficient and test-retest reliability(rate of concordance(%)), and construct validity using known-group comparison technique were tested. 51 items were over 0.80 in the cohens kappa coefficient of the checklist, 45 items were over 80.0% in test-retest reliability. Construct validity was established by known-group comparison(t=3.50, p=.001). Validity and reliability of the checklist were confirmed. This checklist will help further studies to develop more safe environment to prevent falls.

포토보이스를 이용한 아동 비만에 영향을 주는 환경 요인에 관한 탐색적 연구

박은옥(Park, Eunok),이효영(Lee, Hyo Young) 한국간호과학회 2019 Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing Vol.49 No.3

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the environmental factors affecting childhood obesity using photovoice from the perspectives of students, parents, and teachers in the community. Methods: Six school students, seven parents, and seven school teachers completed an assignment requiring them to take 24 pictures and participate in group discussions. After training session, the participants were asked to take pictures associated with food and physical activity environments related to childhood obesity at home, school, and within their communities for two weeks and to submit the pictures with records. Each group had four sessions for discussion. Results: School cafeteria, convenience stores near schools, instant food and fast food joints, food delivery, and high-calorie snacks comprised the food environmental factors. Lack of physical activity classes at school, commuting by car, barriers to physical activity, and use of smart-phone were environmental factors that inhibited physical activity. Conclusion: To reduce childhood obesity, the creation of a supportive environment for encouraging the consumption of healthy foods and enhancing physical activity should be considered. Modifications of and improvement to the obesogenic environment might be a good strategy to prevent and reduce childhood obesity.
