Jeong Sil Choi, Ji Woon Ko, Seungmi Park
Korean J Adult Nurs 2015;27(2):127-134.   Published online April 30, 2015
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2015.27.2.127
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to identify health beliefs and knowledge related to hepatitis A vaccination (HAV). Preventative behaviors related to HAV were also examined.
METHODS
The convenience sample of 332 students were drawn from a university in Chung-nam province. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffetest, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS for Windows 21.0 software.
RESULTS
Vaccination rates for hepatitis A were 23.4%. The mean scores of health beliefs, knowledge and preventative behaviors related to hepatitis A were 2.38+/-0.25, 0.34+/-0.30, and 3.15+/-0.40 respectively. The factors found to be related to hepatitis A preventative behaviors were HAV, having the HAV antibody and health beliefs.
CONCLUSION
An experience of HAV, having HAV antibody, and positive health beliefs related to hepatitis A may be necessary to increase voluntary hepatitis A preventive behaviors among university students. It is essential to develop the strategy of educating university students about HAV and having HAV antibody as well as reinforcing health beliefs about hepatitis A which prevent the hepatitis A occurrence.

PURPOSE
This correlational study was to examine the relationships between dementia knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy and preventive behavior of low income middled-aged women.
METHODS
The subjects for this study were 125 low income middle aged women living in I city. The data were collected using the questionnaires for dementia knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy and preventive behavior. The data analysis was done by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson product moment correlation and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
RESULTS
The mean of dementia knowledge was 13.96 out of 20, attitude was 43.98 out of 60, self-efficacy was 54.07 out of 75 and preventive behavior was 25.98 out of 36. The positive correlations were revealed between dementia knowledge (r=.458, p=.000), attitude (r=.498, p=.000), self-efficacy (r=.573, p=.000) and preventive behavior. The influencing factors for dementia preventive behavior were self-efficacy, belief in Buddhism and attitude which accounted for 42.5% of the total variance.
CONCLUSION
Dementia knowledge, attitude and self-efficacy were identified as variables that correlate dementia preventive behavior. Also, self-efficacy is the most influential factor affecting dementia preventive behavior. On the basis of these results, it is necessary for nurses to consider using dementia knowledge and mode of efficacy expectation in order to improve dementia preventive behavior.
