It is widely known that vegetable consumption contributes to reducing the risk of gastric cancer (GC). However, the incidence rates of GC remain high in both Japanese and Korean populations, even though they have a high consumption of total vegetables. This may be due to the fact that Japanese and Koreans mainly consume processed vegetables, such as cooked, salted, or pickled vegetables, rather than fresh vegetables. To determine whether the intakes of fresh and pickled vegetables have different

The global burden of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is profound, and represents a public health threat as chronic infection can lead to liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and death. The risk factors for chronic hepatitis B-related liver disease differ according to HBV endemicity, hepatitis B e-antigen seropositivity, and viral load. It is important to identify these risk factors and start antiviral treatment at an appropriate time according to current guidelines. The most crucial step

The present study was aimed to assess the prevalence, awareness, treatment, control of hypertension, and the related risk factors in a Korean population. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a rural area of South Korea from 2005 to 2006. Subjects (n = 6388) were selected from individuals aged 40 years or older by stratified random cluster sampling. The age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension was 43.8 % (43.1 % in men, 44.9 % in women). The awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension we

본 연구는 간호 대학생과 일반 여자대학생의 스트레스, 우울, 자기효능감 정도를 비교하기 위한 서술적 비교 조사연구로 수행되었다. 본 연구의 대상자는 서울시 및 경북 지역 대학생들을 대상으로 본 연구의 목적을 설명한 후 참여를 동의한, 간호 대학생 231명, 일반 여자대학생 174명으로 총 405명이었다. 연구도구로는 스트레스를 측정하기 위해 Kim GH et al.(1991)의 대학생용 스트레스 척도 도구를, 우울은 Jeon GG et al.(1992)가 한국판으로 번역한 것으로 CES-D (Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression), 자기효능감을 측정하기 위해 Sherer et al.(1982)이 제작한 자기효능감 척도를 Hong HY(1995)이 번안한 것을 이용하였다. 이 연구의 자료분석방법은 간호 대학생과 일반 여자대학생의 일반적 특성 및 스트레스 정도, 우울, 자기효능감간의 비교는 카이검정을 하였으며, 간호 대학생과 일반 여자대학생의

BACKGROUND: Successful adaptation of refugees to a new society can be hindered by traumatic experiences and psychiatric symptoms. This study aims to examine the relationship between trauma, psychiatric symptoms and life satisfaction of North Korean refugees resettled in South Korea.

Recent findings from The Cancer Genome Atlas project have provided a comprehensive map of genomic alterations that occur in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), including unexpected mutations in apolipoprotein B (APOB). We aimed to determine the clinical significance of this non-oncogenetic mutation in HCC. An Apob gene signature was derived from genes that differed between control mice and mice treated with siRNA specific for Apob (1.5-fold difference; P < 0.005). Human gene expression data were col

PURPOSE: We aimed at determining the cutoff value of waist circumference with respect to its ability to reflect insulin resistance in a Korean population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 8,817 subjects aged 40 years and over were analyzed. Insulin resistant individuals were defined as those who had the highest quartile value of the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in a non-diabetic population. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and multiple logis

Adequate intake of nutrients by pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) or type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is very important for appropriate weight gain and maintenance of normoglycemia without ketonuria. The aim of this study was to investigate the nutritional intake of pregnant women with GDM or T2DM who had not been provided with nutritional education regarding blood glucose management. Between June 2008 and May 2010, 125 pregnant women who had been diagnosed with GDM or T2DM

AIM: To discover the structure of the frames of reference for nursing home staff members' subjective judgment of residents' achievement of ego integrity. METHODS: Q-methodology was applied. Twenty-eight staff members who were working in a nursing home sorted 34 Q-statements into the shape of a normal distribution. RESULTS: A centroid factor analysis and varimax rotation, using the PQ-method program, revealed four factors: identifying clues to residents' positive acceptance of their whole life sp

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to determine the characteristics affecting insulin resistance in non-obese middle-aged adults in a rural community. METHODS: A total of 1,270 non-diabetic adults aged between 40 and 64 years old with body mass index (BMI) less than 25 kg/m(2) were analyzed. Subjects with insulin resistance were defined as those who had the highest quartile value of the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in a non-diabetic population. RESULTS: A total of 217 subjects

본 연구는 간호대학생을 대상으로 전공만족도, 자아존중감 및 간호 전문직관의 관계를 알아보고, 간호대학생의 바람직한 간호전문직관의 정립 및 전공만족과 자아존중감을 향상시키기 위해 나아갈 간호교육의 방향을 모색하고자 한자. 본 연구는 상관성 조사연구로써 간호과에 재학 중인 학생 195명을 대상으로 실시하였으며, 자료수집기간은 2014년 10월 1일부터 10월 31일까지였다. 자료는 SPSS Program 18.0을 이용하여 t값, Correlation coefficient로 분석하였다. 연구결과 간호대학생의 자아존중감과 전공만족도는 순상관관계로 나타났다. 따라서 간호대학생들의 자아존중감을 향상시켜 전공만족도를 높이고 바람직한 전문직관을 형성할 수 있는 교육프로그램의 개발 및 적용이 필요하다.
