Background
: An elevated blood pressure is important public health problem, being common, asymptomatic, readily detectable, usually easily treatable, and often leading to lethal complication if left untreated. To attempt to improve the health status of population through periodic health examination, we should try not only to find cases but also to detect hypertension management behaviors. The purpose of this research is to aid to manage hypertension efficiently.

Methods : We obtained detailed data from periodic health examination and questionnaire at an interval of two years.

Results : 1. Our study population comprised 86 patients : male 85, female 1. 2. Number of case seeking hypertension management behaviors was 71(82.6%). 3. Reasons of no hypertension management behaviors was usually normal blood pressure at follow-up and no symptoms. 4. Distributions of hypertension management behaviors was self-care 56(65.1%), physician encounter 26(30.2%), utilzation of drug store or herb medicine 25(29.1%), folk medicine 5(5.8%). 5. The numbers of hypertension management behaviors ; only one 41(57.7%), two 23(32.4%). three or more 7(9.9%). 6. No. of hypertension under control was 11(12.8%) ; In no hypertension management behavior group ; 4(26.7%), in one management behavior group ; 3(7.3%), in two management behaviors group ; 3(13.0%), in three or more management behaviors group ; 1(14.3%).

Conclusion : According to this study, hypertensive patients usually showed various hypertension management behaviors but these behaviors were not effective for hypertension control. We feel necessity of aggressive, concrete and continuous education for efficient hypertension management.

Background
: The study was performed in order to investigate the interfering factors on regular test of pap smear and the attitude for cervical cancer screening.

Methods : The 442 women who visited in Kyeongju County health centre for cervical cancer examination were performed by questionnaries.

Results : The total number of collected data was 442. The rate of respondents who have the idea of necessity for periodic pap smear was 70.7%, the women who regularly performed Pap smear among subjects was 35.3%. The most common cause of no regular examination is forgetting of examination. The most frequent reason for not having a Pap smear is shyness.

Conclusion : To increase the attendance of cervical cancer screening test, the education might be important for recognition by means of health campaign, more dynamic recommendations of doctor, and nationwide public information through mass media.

Background
: This study was performed to examine the weak point in EKG reading of family practice residents.

Methods : The data was abstained from comparative analysis between EKG readings of six residents of family medicine and that of one cardiologist.

Results : The EKG readings of rhythm, rate, axis, PR interval, QT interval, amplitude of P wave, and tall T were relatively correct and accordance rates were more than 90 percent. The accordance rates of the EKG reading of diphasity and notching of P wave, fibrillatory P, S₁+R5>35mm of QRS complex, inversion of T wave, elevation of ST segment were about ranged from 70 to 80 percent. The accordance rates of the EKG reading of inversion of P wave, QRS interval, R in V₃<3mm, Q wave, T₁>R6 of T wave, flat T, depression of ST segment were below 70 percent.

Conclusion : Family practice resident's weak points on EKG reading were mainly on the interpretation of inversion of P wave, QRS interval, R in V₃<3mm, Q wave, T₁>R6 of T wave, flat T, depression of ST segment. Hence, More emphasis should be put on the interpretation of these components of EKG.
