Electronic Cigarettes and Tobacco Product Cessation: A Survey of Healthcare Providers' Opinions on Safety and Recommendation.

Background: This study aimed to: (1) assess healthcare providers' opinions on e-cigarette safety and compare them across professions; (2) evaluate providers' recommendations for e-cigarettes as a tobacco product cessation tool and identify any associations with their safety perceptions. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 760 healthcare professionals (January-March 2020). The survey included eight opinions on e-cigarette safety with five Likert-scale answers and a question on recommending them for tobacco product cessation. Results: Among 760 healthcare providers (173 physicians/dentists, 69 pharmacists, and 518 nurses), only 20% reported prior experience with tobacco product cessation counseling. Providers expressed uncertainty regarding e-cigarette safety (mean ± SD: 2.5 ± 0.7 on a 5-point Likert scale), with no significant differences between professions (p = 0.836). Similarly, e-cigarette recommendations for tobacco product cessation remained low across professions (13%, 85/637), with no significant differences found (p = 0.072). The recommendation of e-cigarettes for tobacco cessation is associated with perceived safety, lower respiratory irritation, lower coughing, a lower risk of cancer, and a lower risk for secondhand smokers when compared to traditional cigarettes (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Most healthcare providers were unsure about the safety of e-cigarettes; about 13% of providers suggested using them for tobacco product cessation, with safety perceptions influencing recommendations.

Māori nurse practitioners: The intersection of patient safety and culturally safe care from an Indigenous lens.

Dynamic and complex health systems require innovative and adaptive solutions to support patient safety and achieve equitable health outcomes for Indigenous populations. Understanding the ways by which Indigenous (and specifically Māori) nurse practitioners (NPs) practice patient safety is key to enhancing Indigenous health outcomes in predominantly westernized healthcare systems. To describe Māori NPs perspectives on patient safety when caring for Māori and understand how Māori NPs deliver safe health care. A group of five Māori NPs worked alongside a Māori nurse researcher to explore their perceptions of patient safety. Together, they held an online hui (focus group) in early 2024. Data were analysed collectively, informed by kaupapa Māori principles, using reflexive thematic analysis. Māori NP experiences, expressions and understandings of patient safety envelop cultural safety and have many facets that are specific to the needs of Māori populations. The three themes showed: (1) Te hanga a te mahi: the intersection of cultural and clinical expertise; (2) Mātauranga tuku iho: the knowledge from within, where safe practice was strongly informed by traditional knowledge and cultural practice; (3) Te Ao hurihuri: walking in two worlds, where Māori NPs navigated the westernized health system's policies and practices while acting autonomously to advocate for and deliver culturally safe care. The Māori NP lens on patient safety is vital for promoting culturally responsive and effective health care. By recognizing the unique needs of Māori patients and families and incorporating cultural perspectives into practice, Māori NPs contribute to a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to patient safety that goes beyond westernized principles and practices. No patient or public contribution.

LGBTQ+ student, staff, and parent perceptions of Australian school climates

AbstractLesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/gender diverse, or queer (LGBTQ+) students, staff and parents can each perceive school as challenging environments. These challenges have typically been explored within three disparate bodies of research, however. Using a school climate lens, this study aimed to explore how LGBTQ+ student (n = 1926), staff (n = 198), and parent (n = 180) perceptions of school safety, interpersonal challenges and self-harm differ by roles, school types, school location, and gender modality. ANOVA and chi-square analyses showed that although LGBTQ+ students, staff and parents experience similar concerns in school safety, interpersonal challenges, and self-harm, students have higher prevalence on all indicators. Students in government/public, religious affiliated schools, and non-metropolitan schools had particularly high concerns, as did transgender and gender diverse students. This study offers important implications for school-wide interventions to promote positive school climates, with particular focus on school safety, anti-bullying, and self-harm, targeted to the needs of multiple members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Negotiating the Paradoxical Binaries of ‘Safety’ in Queer Spaces: Autoethnographic and Socio-Spatial Reflections

ABSTRACT Amidst a backdrop of attacks on both LGBTQ+ individuals and LGBTQ+ venues coupled with the ongoing changing landscape of urban queer spaces across the UK, this article offers a timely autoethnographic and socio-spatial account of queer “safety.” This article examines when and how queer spaces are experienced as “safe.” Specifically, the article offers reflections from the author’s experience of two queer spaces: (1) The Proud Place, a purpose-built community center in Manchester, England and (2) The concert of a queer female artist that took place in Bristol, England. The article concludes that queer spaces are contextually safe spaces. Through an analysis of (in)visibility and exclusivity in queer spaces, the article reveals the social structures and power dynamics impacting perceptions of safety.

생태 체계론적 관점에서 본 청소년 자살위험 유발 변인

Objectives The purpose of this study was to explore the factors affecting adolescent suicide risk and to compare middle and high school students as a basis for developing targeted programs. Methods Based on the results of the safety perception survey of 527 adolescents in Ilgae-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, relevant variables were measured and used in the analysis. The suicide risk for individual system, environmental system, and social system factors were analyzed using t-test and analysis of variance. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to compare the risk factors in Model 1, Model 2, and Model 3. Results The risk factors for suicide among adolescents that included individual, environmental, and social system factors were depression, school maladjustment, experience of sexual violence, and experience of being victimized by violence. In middle school students, depression, sexual violence, victimization, and school maladjustment were the most important risk factors for suicide, followed by negative relationships with teachers. For high school students, depression, victimization of violence, school maladjustment, victimization of sexual violence, and negative peer relationships, in that order, and perpetration of school violence were negative predictors of suicide risk. Conclusions The environment and social relationships are more influential than individual deviance as risk factors for suicide in youth. Depression and sexual victimization were major risk factors for both middle and high school students, but were particularly strong in middle school. In high school, relationship conflicts at school were identified as a major risk factor for suicide, with victimization of school violence and school maladjustment being high, along with negative peer relationships. As sexual violence factors were high risk factors in both middle and high school students, it is suggested that gender sensitivity education for adolescents is necessary.

Perceived Experience in Social Circles with COVID-19 Injections and COVID-19 “Vaccine” Mandates: An Online Survey of the United States Population

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, decision-makers in countries around the world adopted policies such as lockdowns, mask requirements, and once COVID-19 injections became available, “vaccine” mandates and “vaccine” passports. However, political polarization and differences in risk perceptions in the populous generated strong support for and opposition to such measures. This research identifies the factors associated with support for/against COVID-19 injection mandates and passports. An online survey of COVID-19 health experiences in the United States population was conducted to collect information regarding potential reasons why respondents might favor or oppose COVID-19 injection mandates and passports, including experiences with COVID-19 illness and COVID-19 injections by respondents and those in their social circles. Analysis using a Logit regression technique was conducted to identify factors influencing the likelihood of opposing COVID-19 injection mandates and passports. The survey was completed by 2,840 participants between December 18 and 23, 2021. Twenty-two percent (612 of 2,840) of respondents reported that they knew at least one person who had experienced a health problem following COVID-19 injection. Respondents who knew someone who experienced a health problem following COVID-19 injection were more likely to oppose injection mandates (OR: 2.040, 95% CI: 1.635-2.254, and passports (OR: 1.691, 95% CI: 1.361-2.101)) Perceptions of COVID-19 injection safety based on personal experiences appear to be an important determinant of opposition to injection mandates and passports.

A spatial model for the representation of emotional landscapes

AbstractThis article proposes a cartographic solution to represent the emotional landscapes of evasion for a Holocaust survivor, specifically his perceptions of safety or danger during his escape. The victim's emotional landscapes are spatially interpolated using techniques for vectors of both travel direction and magnitude (of perceptions of safety or danger). The implications for the spatial representation of emotions are that emotional landscapes might be better understood by going through an interpolation process, as the statistical analysis reveals spatial trends and autocorrelation. This may help in understanding how the abstract notion of space and the human valence of place vary in relation to each other (or not), and whether and how that variation differs based on distance and direction.

The Celebrity Influencer: Delineating the Effect of Tourism-Oriented Short Video Marketing on International Tourist Conation

This quantitative deductive study explores the influence of celebrity social media influencer-based short video marketing on tourist conation. The study also explores the intervening effects of trust, safety perception, and country image as underlying psychological mechanisms in tourist decision-making. Using a sample of 601 potential American tourists, the partial least squares—structural equation model results indicate that celebrity influence via short video marketing positively augments tourists’ leisure tourism-oriented conation—furthermore, trust, safety perception, and country image as internalized psychological mechanisms nuance this nexus. The findings enhance our understanding of the proliferation of celebrity-based social media influencing and short video marketing as conduits for destination marketing.

Feelings of safety for visitors recreating outdoors at night in different artificial lighting conditions

Artificial light can impact the actual and perceived safety of visitors recreating outdoors at night. Actual safety refers to how visitors identify aspects of their environment such as pathways and obstacles, while perceptions of safety refer to how safe they feel based on perceptions of the environment. Both influence the acceptability of different light conditions. The objective of this study is to better understand how light conditions influence visitors' perceptions of safety and their potential for pleasant experiences while recreating at night in a park-like setting. This paper explores study participants' self-reported feelings of safety across eight different light conditions using two different colors, 3000 K Correlated Color Temperature (warm white) and monochromatic amber, and 4 four different intensities (0.5, 1.0, 5.0, or 10.0 lux) during a nighttime recreation-focused experiment in a university's arboretum. Prior experience with nighttime outdoor recreation and community type (urban, suburban, rural) during adolescence were evaluated alongside light conditions as predictors of feelings of safety using ordered logistic regression. Participants of this study were 31.6% more likely to report higher feelings of safety in warm white light than amber light and 81.7% more likely to report higher feelings of safety at 5.0 lux than 0.5 lux. Further, individuals who felt safer in any lighting condition were 19.6 times more likely to feel greater potential for a pleasant experience while recreating than someone who did not report feeling safe or felt unsafe. Understanding the connection between light and perceived safety in park settings can help managers tailor lighting conditions to the needs of visitors while reducing ecological impacts - brighter and cooler temperature lighting have greater negative impacts on wildlife. Adjusting the distribution and intensity of light can increase the accessibility of nighttime recreation opportunities and the potential for comfortable and pleasant experiences for visitors.

Reasons for Gun Ownership Among Demographically Diverse New and Prior Gun Owners

INTRODUCTION: Pandemic-era social and political tensions may have accelerated pre-existing trends in gun owner diversification and shifts toward protection from people as a primary reason for gun ownership. Specific ownership motivations may shape storage behaviors, use patterns, policy support, and perceptions of safety. This study's objective was to assess the importance of specific reasons for owning guns, including protection from whom and in what circumstances, among demographic subgroups of new and prior gun owners. METHODS: From 1/4/2023-2/5/2023, the National Survey of Gun Policy was fielded among a nationally representative sample of US adults (N=3,096) including gun owners (n=1,002). Respondents rated the importance of 10 potential reasons for gun ownership, including at-home protection, out-of-home protection, protection in ideological conflict, and hunting or recreation. In 2023-2024, respondents’ self-report of important and highly important reasons for gun ownership were compared across political affiliation, race, ethnicity, age, sex, location, income, education, and recency of first purchase. RESULTS: Majorities of gun owners from all demographic groups cited at-home protection, out-of-home protection, and hunting or recreation as “very” or “extremely” important. At least 10% of every demographic group endorsed at least one ideologic reason as “extremely important.” Newer gun owners more frequently endorsed multiple important reasons. CONCLUSIONS: Concurrent, strongly held motivations may produce ambivalence or resistance to public health messaging that narrowly focuses on preventing violent firearm-related injury. Permissive firearm policies may compound behavioral ambivalence, exacerbating conditions that threaten collective safety and civic expression. These conditions call for more nuanced, multidimensional, societal efforts to assure collective safety.

Moderation Effects of Streetscape Perceptions on the Associations Between Accessibility, Land Use Mix, and Bike-Sharing Use: Cross-Sectional Study.

Cycling is known to be beneficial for human health. Studies have suggested significant associations of physical activity with macroscale built environments and streetscapes. However, whether good streetscapes can amplify the benefits of a favorable built environment on physical activity remains unknown. This study examines whether streetscape perceptions can modify the associations between accessibility, land use mix, and bike-sharing use. This cross-sectional study used data from 18,019,266 bike-sharing orders during weekends in Shanghai, China. A 500 × 500 m grid was selected as the analysis unit to allocate data. Bike-sharing use was defined as the number of bike-sharing origins. Street view images and a human-machine adversarial scoring framework were combined to evaluate lively, safety, and wealthy perceptions. Negative binomial regression was developed to examine the independent effects of the three perceptual factors in both the univariate model and fully adjusted model, controlling for population density, average building height, distance to nearest transit, number of bus stations, number of points of interest, distance to the nearest park, and distance to the central business district. The moderation effect was then investigated through the interaction term between streetscape perception and accessibility and land use mix, based on the fully adjusted model. We also tested whether the findings of streetscape moderation effects are robust when examinations are performed at different geographic scales, using a small-sample statistics approach and different operationalizations of land use mix and accessibility. High levels of lively, safety, and wealthy perceptions were correlated with more bike-sharing activities. There were negative effects for the interactions between the land use Herfindahl-Hirschman index with the lively perception (β=-0.63; P=.01) and safety perception (β=-0.52; P=.001). The interaction between the lively perception and road intersection density was positively associated with the number of bike-sharing uses (β=0.43; P=.08). Among these, the lively perception showed the greatest independent effect (β=1.29; P<.001), followed by the safety perception (β=1.22; P=.001) and wealthy perception (β=0.72; P=.001). The findings were robust in the three sensitivity analyses. A safer and livelier streetscape can enhance the benefits of land use mix in promoting bike-sharing use, with a safer streetscape also intensifying the effect of accessibility. Interventions focused on streetscape perceptions can encourage cycling behavior and enhance the benefits of accessibility and land use mix. This study also contributes to the literature on potential moderators of built environment healthy behavior associations from the perspective of microscale environmental perceptions.

Understanding the Perspectives of Hail City Population on the Confidentiality and Privacy of Digital Health and Medical Information.

Background In the era of rapid digital advancement, the confidentiality and privacy of digital health and medical data have become paramount concerns. This study investigates the perspectives of individuals residing in Hail City regarding these critical issues, with a particular emphasis on the influence of demographic factors such as age, gender, and computer proficiency on individuals' discomfort with health professionals using computers and their trust in researchers.Gaining a deeper understanding of these factors is vital for the development of targeted interventions aimed at enhancing patient comfort and trust in digital health/medical technologies. Methodology This study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design, involving a survey of 775 individuals aged 18 and above in Hail City. The questionnaire was designed to gather information on participants' demographic characteristics, computer proficiency, experiences with digital health and medical information, and perceptions of health information safety and privacy. To examine the associations and predictive relationships between variables, chi-square tests, correlation analyses, and logistic regression were performed. Results Significant associations were found between gender and discomfort with health professionals using computers (chi-square = 60.29, p < 0.0001), and between age and trust in researchers regarding the privacy of medical information (chi-square = 50.14, p < 0.0001). Positive correlations were observed between computer proficiency and perception of health information safety (r = 0.12, p = 0.0002), while a negative correlation was found between computer ownership and avoidance of medical tests due to privacy concerns (r = -0.08, p = 0.03). Logistic regression analysis identified age, gender, and computer proficiency as significant predictors of discomfort with health professionals using computers. The findings highlight the crucial role that demographic factors play in shaping attitudes toward the privacy and security of digital health and medical information. Conclusions The findings of this study highlight the crucial role that demographic factors play in shaping attitudes toward the privacy and security of digital health and medical information. Gender and age were found to significantly influence individuals' levels of discomfort and trust, while computer proficiency was shown to enhance perceptions of safety. Based on these findings, the researchers recommend implementing targeted interventions, such as gender-sensitive training programs and initiatives, to enhance digital literacy and improve patient comfort and trust in digital health technologies.

Emergency triage nurses’ perceptions of caring behaviors and the safety of the patient during triage encounters: a grounded theory study

BackgroundTriage is a dynamic process prioritising the patient coming to the emergency department. Caring behaviour and patient safety during the triage process are essential for ensuring a good care experience and treatment outcome.ObjectiveTo describe triage nurses’ perceptions on caring behaviors and patient safety in the triage area.DesignStrauss and Corbin’s Grounded theory method was used to develop the model.MethodsThe study was conducted in the emergency department in northeastern Slovenia. Semi-structured interviews were used for data collection, and 19 triage nurses were selected by theoretical sampling, guided by emerging categories between November 2021 and July 2022. The data analysis was conducted according to Strauss and Corbin’s coding framework.ResultsThe analysis of the interviews generated one category: The process of creating a caring and safe triage encounter for the patient, together with two categories that explain the key phenomenon: (1) Triage caring and (2) Safety in the triage process. Within the category “Triage caring”, four subcategories were developed: (1) Assurance of triage nurses’ presence, (2) Connectedness, (3) Respectful attitude, and (4) Knowledge and skills. The category Safety in the triage process consists of three identified subcategories: (1) Conception and perception of safety, (2) Factors influencing patient safety, and (3) Improving the triage safety.ConclusionsThe triage nurses’ perceptions about caring for the patient and his safety in the triage area show that caring and safety are inseparably linked and coincide when triaging a patient. Namely, caring for the patient means ensuring the patient’s safety at the same time.Implications for the nursing fieldA better understanding of the importance of triage nurses’ caring behavior and patient safety emerges from the findings, highlighting the challenges faced in a busy emergency department where nurses must balance providing care and responding to patients’ needs while ensuring safety. Findings in the study show that patient care and safety are inseparably linked and coincide when triaging a patient. Moreover, applying caring behaviour during triage encounter results in greater patient safety.No patient or public contributionThe study’s design, evaluation of the findings, and execution did not need the involvement of patients or the general public. Participants were triage nurses working in the emergency department. Triage nurses were interviewed about their perceptions of triage nurses on caring behaviors and patient safety during triage encounter.

Development of food sharing online networks for sustainability: Consumer perspectives on food security and sharing

PurposeSharing food through online communities is an effective channel for quickly exchanging edible food, avoiding food waste and promoting environmental sustainability. This study explores how the different characteristics of food sharing platforms influence consumers' perceptions of food safety, attitudes and intentions to engage in sharing activities.Design/methodology/approachIn-depth interviews are first used to identify the key platform mechanisms that consumers pay attention to. A 2 (protection rules) × 2 (food supply sources) × 2 (transaction volume) factorial between-subjects experiment is used to design 8 scenarios in the literal description. This study finally collects a total of 604 valid samples through a web-based questionnaire to test the hypotheses after conducting manipulation checks, reliability and validity.FindingsThe results of this study show that the three variables of protection rules, food supply sources and transaction volume are the most important among all factors and have different levels of effects in reducing consumers' perceived lack of safety of food shared on online platforms and in improving positive attitudes and behavioral intentions. A moderating role in improving consumers' perceptions, food knowledge and cooking techniques, is also demonstrated.Originality/valueThe findings of this study make a significant contribution to the literature, which lacks research on the influence of food (un) safety on consumer perceptions through platform mechanisms in non-Western countries, as digital technology platforms can effectively connect food providers and recipients. Some practical implications for consumers regarding wasting and sharing food are also provided.

"It's a Very Good Second Option": Older Adults' Experience of Telehealth.

The growing ability to provide online services has enabled the proliferation of exercise-based telehealth interventions; however, adoption in older adults may be impacted by low digital literacy and "technophobia." The aim of this study was to explore the experience of community and aged-care dwelling older adults following exercise-based telehealth services to provide insights that could guide future telehealth exercise delivery. Semi-structured interviews for qualitative analysis. Participants (age ≥60) who had completed at least one online exercise session from a registered health professional were recruited through a combination of purposeful and snowball sampling methods via their exercise facility or provider. A semi-structured interview guide was used by 2 interviewers to investigate participants' experiences and a "critical friends" approach used to identify common themes. Thirteen interviews with 21 participants were conducted from 2 different facilities. Analysis identified meaning units within 3 themes and subthemes. Technology subthemes related to digital confidence prior to telehealth and changes during interventions, as well as the usability of technology for telehealth. Clinical practice subthemes described the different motivations to exercise, perceived benefits of telehealth, important implications for practitioners, and perceptions of safety. The social connection theme related to the social benefits of telehealth. Older adults in our sample were technologically confident and capable of performing exercise sessions delivered via telehealth. They notice benefits from this form of exercise delivery however, prefer face-to-face exercise delivery.

Corona blue among us: associations between risk perception, visits to urban spaces, and mental health in Seoul, Korea and Shanghai, China

ABSTRACT The so-called “Corona Blue” decline in mental health after the COVID-19 outbreak. This study examines how COVID-19 risk perception affects mental health via urban space usage in Seoul, Korea, and Shanghai, China. It uniquely explores direct PR-MH and OS-MH effects, along with indirect effects mediated by pandemic-driven changes in urban space utilization. Results reveal that visits to urban destinations and open spaces mediate the relationship between perceived risk and MH, with differing significance levels between the two cities. In Seoul, disruptions in daily life negatively affected mental health through decreased interactions with urban destinations and outdoor spaces, with a statistically significant impact on stress through urban destinations. This suggests that maintaining access to and engagement with these spaces is crucial for mental health during crises. Conversely, Shanghai showed indirect effects predominantly through perceptions of safety, which significantly influenced anxiety levels through urban destinations, but did not manifest similarly through interactions with outdoor spaces. Caution in interpretation is necessary for better generation, but the outcomes of this study underscore the importance of considering cultural, historical, and political contexts in understanding the varying impacts of future pandemic policies on mental health.

The immunization questionnaire for understanding unwellness (TIQUU): Fun learning about vaccination using an innovative storytelling approach

BackgroundVaccination is a pivotal tool in public health. In LMICs like Pakistan, challenges hinder high immunization rates. This study addresses gaps in vaccination knowledge among school children through innovative educational interventions. The study aims to enhance vaccination awareness and contribute to health education discourse. MethodologyThis quasi-experimental study was conducted in 4 private schools in Karachi, Pakistan, from February to May 2021. Children aged 8–12 years in grades 2–5 were enrolled. An interactive discussion on vaccine safety and immunization was conducted using a bilingual pictorial storybook. Group-I experienced traditional Urdu book reading, while Group-II engaged with a digital animated video in English. A pre-test was conducted to assess baseline knowledge about immunization followed by an interactive discussion and immediately a post-test. Test scores were analyzed using paired sample t-test using Stata 17.0 version. ResultsThe study enrolled 400 students in Karachi, Pakistan. Both groups exhibited significant knowledge shifts regarding vaccine-related topics. Group-I (Analog Urdu) showed changes in understanding sickness reasons, vaccine timing, newborn protection, sports injury response, and memory impact. Group-II (Digital English) displayed shifts in illness understanding, recommended actions, injection and vaccine knowledge, safety perceptions, measles prevention, and management during sports injury. A statistically significant improvement in mean scores was observed. ConclusionAs a proactive and early strategy to alleviate the societal burden of under-immunization, cost-effective educational interventions can be integrated into school curricula. Our approach through bilingual pictorial storybooks and animated videos has been proven effective and helps one grasp immunization's importance.

무인매장에 대한 소비자의 안전 인식이 신뢰, 만족 및 지속이용의도에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this study is to conceptualize the sub-factors of safety perception that consumers have regarding unmanned stores and investigate how consumers' safety perception influences their trust, satisfaction, and continuous intention to use unmanned stores. To segment consumers' safety perception of unmanned stores, we collected and analyzed news articles from portal sites using Text-Mining techniques, resulting in five sub-factors: ‘Security’, ‘Crime’, ‘Equipment and facilities’, ‘Hygiene and health’, and ‘Disasters and accidents’. An online survey was conducted through respondents aged 19 to 69 who have experienced unmanned stores within the past six months. Measurement items for this study were developed based on the items used in previous studies and structural equation model was employed to test the hypothesized relationships. The results revealed that consumers' safety perception significantly influences their trust, satisfaction, and continuous intention to use unmanned stores. Among the five factors, consumers' safety perception of security, equipment and facilities, and hygiene and health had significant static effects on trust. In the case of security and hygiene and health factors, trust statically mediated the relationship between safety perception and satisfaction, and satisfaction statically mediated the relationship between trust and continuous intention to use. Based on these findings, we suggested theoretical and managerial implications and concluded with the study’s limitations and directions for future study.

소비기한 표시제도의 인식이 소비자태도와 구매의도에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this study is to analyze the perception of the expiration date indication system and to suggest the necessity of policy support for raising the perception of consumers and establishing a stable system. SPSS 22.0 program was used for statistics, and frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, validity and reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were conducted. First, the perception of reliability and quality perception of the expiration date marking system had a positive effect, but the perception of safety had a negative effect. Third, consumer attitude had a significant effect on purchase intention.Consumers should be able to clearly understand the meaning of the expiration date through active public relations, and it is necessary to strengthen legal regulations so that there are no cases of negative abuse.
