Purpose
The aim of the study was to assess and identify gender differences in factors associated with prevalence, awareness, and treatment of osteoporosis.
Methods
Data for 3,071 men and 3,635 women (age≥ 50) from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008~2011 were included. Osteoporosis was defined by World Health Organization T-score criteria. Impact factors and odds ratios were analysed by gender using multivariate logistic regression.
Results
Osteoporosis prevalence rates were 7.0% in men and 40.1% in women. Osteopenia rates were 45.5% and 46.0% respectively. Among respondents with osteoporosis, 7.6% men and 37.8% women were aware of their diagnosis. Also 5.7% men with osteoporosis and 22.8% women were treated. Higher prevalence was found among respondents who were older, at lower socioeconomic levels, with lower body mass index and shorter height in both genders, and among women with fracture history, and non-hormonal replacement therapy. Awareness and treatment rates for the risk groups were similar compared to the low risk controls for both genders. Fracture history increased awareness and treatment rates independently for both genders. Women with perceived poor health status and health screening had increased awareness and treatment rates, but not men.
Conclusion
Results indicate that postmenopausal women have a higher prevalence of osteoporosis than men and awareness and treatment rates were higher than for men. Despite gender difference in prevalence, osteoporosis was underdiagnosed and undertreated for both genders. Specialized public education and routine health screenings according to gender could be effective strategies to increase osteoporosis awareness and treatment.

Purpose
This study was aimed at exploring the current status of graduate programs for an advanced practice nurse(APN) to recommend future directions of APN education.
Methods
A total of 142 students enrolled in seven APN specialty programs, 67 professors who were involved in APN education, and nine nurse administrators participated in the study. Data was collected by questionnaires and focus group interviews.
Results
The current definition of APN was found not to be specific enough to represent expected roles of APN in regards to knowledge, attitudes, roles, and skills. Standard curricula employed regardless of the area of APN specialty, lack of qualified clinical practice settings, as well as prepared instructors were found to be problematic.
Conclusion
The following needs to be addressed: 1. redefining of APN roles, 2. tailoring specialty areas of APN, 3. consolidating educational programs, and 4. ensuring APN role models and faculty. Suggesting a CNS role in Korean APN, areas of APN should be rearranged toclarify their roles and educational programs need to be further developed to meet the expectations and quality of APNs. It is necessary to ensure APN's employment in the health care system by laws and policies to perform advanced nursing roles.

Purpose
The objective of the study is to analyze the review contents of reviewers for the submitted papers in the Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing in 2003.
Method
The review contents of the 165 papers were selected 217 papers that were submitted in 2003.

Purpose
We try to disclose how much the keywords of the papers from the Journal of the Korean Academy of Nursing coincide with MeSH terminologies and to understand the major subjects of the recent nursing research in Korea from keywords.
Methods
Keywords of journals were extracted and compared with MeSH terms. The frequency of the appearance of each keyword was sorted by a descending order.
Results
Coincidence rate of 1,235 keywords with MeSH terms was 51.6%. Out of them, depression, elderly, stress, self efficacy, quality of life, exercise, middle-aged women, and women appeared most frequently in descending order.
Conclusion
Coincidence rate of the keywords with MeSH terms was at an acceptable level, however to improve it, the education of submitters and editorial board members are required, as well as the copy editor, to take a role in checking keywords. To infer the subjects of the research from keywords might well represent the recent topics of research work.

Abstract
PDF
PURPOSE: The purpose was to investigate the physiological parameters and health
perception of adults in Kyungi province area, and the correlation between these
variables. The subjects were 95 adults who participated voluntarily in the health
examination program. Methods The instruments for this study were physiological parameters, which were
composed of blood pressure, blood sugar, and body fat. The health perception scale
developed by Ware (1976), and the health practice performance scale developed by
Chang et al. (1999).
Results: The average blood pressure was 137/85mmHg, the average blood sugar was
108.56mg/dl, and the average body fat arm sunt was 27.08% in males, and 30.07% in
females. There were significant negative correlation between health perception and blood
sugar (r=-2.36, p=.01), and body fat (r= -2.77, p=.001). There were significant positive
correlations between blood pressure and health behavior (r=2.76, p=.001). However a
significant correlation between health perception and health behavior was not found. Of the
sociodemographic characteristics, sex (F=5.42, p=.01), and marital status (F=3.29, p=.04)
were related to blood pressure. Also sex (F=4.17, p=.04) was related to body fat, and
sex (t=4.04, p=.03) was related to health perception and disease status (t=4.33, p=.040). Thus
having a relationship with health behavior. CONCLUSION It is suggested that health perception provide important information about
health status. However, this study has not shown a correlation between health
perception and health behavior. Therefore further research is needed to find the other
variables related to health behavior.
