ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a suicide prevention advertising media campaign by the Korea Suicide Prevention Center in 2014 and to analyze the changes in the levels of suicide prevention related-knowledge, attitude, and behavior of the advertisement viewers. METHODS: Data of 703 participants who responded to both the pre and post telephone surveys out of 1100 adults aged 19 or over randomly selected nationwide were analyzed using a stratified proportional quota sampling method considering sex, age, and region by a survey agency. A propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was used to adjust for potential biases in estimated effects. RESULTS: Of 703 participants who completed pre and post survey interviews, 25.9% watched the media campaign. Comparing the knowledge, attitude, and behavior scores between the advertisement viewers (n=182) and non-viewers (n=521), of those who watched the media campaign, participants' knowledge score showed a statistically significantly increase in all methods of the PSM analysis while there were no statistically significant changes in attitude and behavior. CONCLUSION: The results supported the effectiveness of a suicide prevention media campaign in terms of knowledge, but not of attitude and behavior related to suicide prevention. Further long-term large evaluation studies are suggested.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To present the survival of consecutive patients with a minimum of three years follow-up after undergoing a metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty hips from twenty patients (male: 16, female: 4) who underwent metal-on-metal resurfacing arthroplasty between October 2001 and April 2004 were followed up for at least 3 years. The mean patient age was 49 years (range 23~70), and the mean follow-up period was 56 months (range 36~84 months). A clinical evaluation was performed using the Harris hip score, and radiologic evaluation was performed regularly after surgery with plain radiographs. RESULTS: The mean Harris hip score improved from 46 points (range 73~32) preoperatively to 94 points at final follow-up. There were no cases of radiolucency or osteolysis around the stem or acetabular cup, and there was no migration of the acetabular or femoral component. The average femoral stem-shaft angle was 135degrees(range 121degrees- 139degrees), and at the final follow-up study, there was no change of the femoral stem. CONCLUSION: In the short-term, metal-on-metal resurfacing arthroplasty performed on the basis of bone quality and patient selection, showed excellent clinical and radiological results. Hip resurfacing is an attractive option for young patients fearing a potentially difficult future revision or for more active patients with hip disease.
