경제적 성장과 더불어 의료서비스에 대한 국민들의 욕구는 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 현 상황에서 각 병원들은 의료서비스 뿐만 아니라 의료 외적인 특화서비스를 제공함으로써 다수의 충성고객을 확보하고자 한다. 따라서, 환자 충성도와 의료 외적인 특화서비스의 상관관계는 집중적인 관심이 요구 되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 서울소재 일개 3차병원 한 곳의 병원을 이용하는 고객들을 대상으로 의료서비스에 대하여 설문조사를 통하여 파악하고자 하였다. 조사결과 환자들의 특화서비스에 대한 만족도 여부와 충성도는 서로 상관관계가 있는 것으로 볼 수 있었다. 특히 충성도가 낮은 집단으로부터 특화서비스에 대한 만족도가 낮은 서비스가 있었기 때문에, 충성도가 낮은 고객들에 대해 서비스를 강화하고 보다 상세하게 불만족의 요인을 파악하기 위한 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 기능성 신사화 착용이 즉각적인 선자세 족저압력 분포 변화에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 남성 물리치료사 8명을 대상으로 하루 간격을 두고 동일한 대상에게 일반적 신사화와 기능성 신사화를 착용하고 선 자세 동안 높은 족저압력의 발과 낮은 족저압력의 발간에 족저압력 분포를 비교하였다. 비교 분석 결과, 일반화를 착용한 선 자세에서 높은 족저압력의 발과 낮은 족저압력의 발간에 족저압력 비율이 유의한 차이를 보였지만 기능성 신사화에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그리고 높은 족저압력 분포 발에서 기능성 및 일반적 신사화간에 전족부와 후족부의 압력이 차이를 보였다. 선 자세에서 기능성 신사화가 일반적 신사화 보다 즉각적으로 정상 생리적 자세를 유도하는 것으로 보였다.

This study was conducted to identify the sleep patterns and influencing factors of hospitalized elderly in a long-term care hospital. The sleep patterns of 142 subjects were recorded using Sleep Charts. The average sleep time of subjects was 10.7 hours a day (3.9 hours in daytime and 6.8 hours in nighttime). Sleep regularity among participants were 71.7% in all day (58.1% in day time and 80.5% in night time). The presence of dementia patients in the room (PDPR) has been identified to be a statistically significant predictor of all day sleep, and pain, PDPR, and physical function have been found to be a significant predictors of sleep regularity in all day among subjects. It suggested that elderly patients in a long-term care hospital do not slept well during night, which leads to increase in daytime sleep and decrease the quality of their sleep. Therefore, an intervention program should be developed to promote the quality of sleep among hospitalized elderly.
