Objectives : This study was conducted to identify the perception level of infection control among Korean medical doctors(KMD) and to examine the comparison of practice level depending on infection control education. Methods : Data were collected from 552 Korean medical doctors. The collected data were analyzed through frequency analysis, chi-square analysis(𝛘²-test), cross analysis and t-test using SPSS 25.0 program. A measurement variable is perception and practice level of infection, education satisfaction. The maximum significance level was 0.05. Results : First, After infection control education, practice score increased from an average of 2.98 to 3.46. Second, Actual practice before and after infection management education sessions showed high engagement in infection management in Korean medical clinics after the education sessions, with the highest practices in cleaning, disinfection, sterilization management of medical device(4.26) Infection prevention and control during acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, cupping, moxibustion, chuna procedures(4.18), and Hygiene and safety management before dispensing(4.18). Third, Infection management education leading to additional educational at Korean medical institution according to the help received in operating Korean medical institution was shown to be significant(p=0.032). Conclusion : From the results of this study, in order to improve the practice of infectious control of Korean medical doctors, infection control education is essential. The education on infection control is required to Korean medical doctors it would contribute to preventing healthcare associated infections in Korean medicine.

Objective : This study examined the status of qualitative research related to Korean Medicine (KM) published until 2020 using Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) and Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR) Methods : PubMed and five domestic databases (NDSL(scienceon), DBpia, KISS, RISS, and OASIS) were searched for qualitative research related to KM published until October 2020. The completeness of the reports was assessed using the COREQ and SRQR, which are representative qualitative research reporting tools. Results : After the search and selection process, thirty-nine qualitative studies were included in this study. Since the first publication in 2004, the number of publications increased from 2011 and has been increasing steadily. Approximately 71.8% of the article's data collection methods were only face-to-face interviews. An analysis of the 37 articles using COREQ revealed a report rate for domains one, two, and three of 33.8% (2.7/8), 64% (9.6/15), and 75.4% (7.5/10), respectively. Domain three was the best reported and domain one was the lowest. When the total number of COREQ items was out of 33, there were seven studies with 24 to 31 points (70% or more) and eight studies with 12 to 16 points (50% or less). An analysis of the 39 SRQR showed that the studies were described well in general, but the conflicts of interest and funding sources were insufficiently described. Conclusion : Although the qualitative research related to KM has limitations in terms of the diversity of research institutions, it is increasing steadily. On the other hand, to conduct high-quality qualitative research, it will be necessary to follow checklists accurately, such as COREQ and SRQR.

Objectives : This study attempted to systematically analyze studies of pelvic correction treatment. To grasp it from the overall perspective and evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment, only randomized control studies (RCTs) which correspond to a high level of evidence were selected. Methods : The study included 16 RCTs which were selected by total 695 studies searched in Korean Journal by searching site RISS, NAL, DBpia. Outcomes were assessed by Meta analysis and Cochrane's Risk of bias tool was used to evaluate the quality of literature. Results : Pelvic correction treatment had a significant effect on the relief of VAS, ODI, flexibility, shoulder tilt, and pelvic tilt. Conclusion : Pelvic Correction proved to have a positive effect. To have more certain result, a method to minimize bias should be considered and designed.

Objective : We reviewed WFME2020 and compare it with WFME 2015 and KAS2021 to find similarities and differences. It will be used as basic data for future evaluation and certification criteria development. Method : WFME 2020 and WFME 2015 were translated and summarized around the core content. The structure of each standard was analyzed and organized, and then, based on the WFME 2020 standard items corresponding to each item were arranged in the items of WFME 2015 and KAS2021. Two authors translated and compared them separately, and if the content was different or the intention of the translation was different, the final revision was made after sufficient discussion. Results: The WFME 2020 standard consists of 8 major areas and 21 sub-areas. The WFME 2020 has a structural change compared to the 9 major and 35 sub-areas of WFME 2015. The importance of the mission is being emphasized, the curriculum and student selection have been changed so that they can be adjusted according to the local situation, and the areas of evaluation and program evaluation have been strengthened. Conclusion : Overall, the increased autonomy of schools and institutions seems positive from the standpoint of Korean Medicine education evaluation certification, but additional research and education are needed for the strengthened areas. In order to develop the WFME 2020 standard to the certification criteria in the future, in-depth discussion and consensus will be required in consideration of the characteristics of Korean Medicine.
