The purpose of this study is to suggest various index concerning the nursing services and traffic efficiency between two types of nursing care system - Team Nursing Method and Functional Nursing Method. Through the investigations on activities of 5 day-duty nurses of ward in each general hospital occupying one method of them. So, it can be suggested that the basic data for the archtectural planning of wards in general hospitals must be considered to accept the hospital environmental requests.

A syudy on hospital architecture was as a circulation effective work as most amount and function at the view of nurse, staff until now. The architect do not have a data about planning patient-centered hospital, do not reflect a demand of patient at the planning step. This study arrange what is concept of patient-centered, recently concept of patient-centered hospital is importantly raised, at centering around a ward that a life of patient is the most influenced. This study make clear character of patient-centered hospital at home, the problem and demand of patient through the P.O.E.

This study make clear character of patient-centered hospital at home, the problem and demand of patient through the P.O.E. The concept of patient-centered was disregarde, when the hospital was planned, in spite of being aimed hospital. At home, the shape of ward did not be developed, did not be corresponded with a demand of patient. But now proposition, which is satisfied psychologic, physical, mental demand, should be attempted.

The evaluation of economy of wards is based on the building area. The parameters are nursing area per bed, occupied area per patient, and the portion of movement area. Three areas such as patient area, nurse area, and corridor area are devided. The results of analysis are as follows. At first, allocation of patient area has the highest priority. Even though nurse area is small, the patient area is relatively large. Secondly, the patient area is mostly determined by the type of rooms, such as single, double, etc.. Finally, the type of alley on the floor is important to economy. The single corridor type is the most economical followed by the double corridor type. the single loaded type shows the worst economy.

This study was intended to investigate the satisfaction degree of users with ward design, and on the basis of this, to suggest the design guidelines of user-oriented general hospital ward. A general hospital in Busan was case-studied. Subjects were 49 patients, 50 families, 50 nurses in this hospital. The results were as follows; The satisfaction degree of users with the psychological factors of ward design was relatively low, while the user satisfaction degree with the functional aspects was relatively high. As for the difference among users, the satisfaction degree of patients and their families with the functional aspects of ward design was higher than that of nurses, and there were no many cases to show the difference among users' satisfaction degree with the psychological factors.

The hospice movement evolved as an alternative to hospitals as places to die. Recently, the palliative care for dying and hospice has been developed rapidly and placed itself as one of the medical systems. But the studies on hospice program and establishment method in Korea are few or no in comparison with developed countries. Hospice unit within a general hospital is more efficient hospice type than other terminal care establishments, therefor it will be developed rapidly. With this in mind, this study puts elements of architectural planning on the hospice unit for the space requirements. Also, It is investigated the architectural conditions of hospice unit within a general hospital, analyzed the unit space and spatial composition in hospice unit. The purpose of this study is to propose the fundamental data and unit space for architectural plan and design.

Healthcare facilities undergo substantial renovation and remodeling to accommodate changing technologies and regulatory requirements, thereby generating significant quantities of construction-related wastes, and subjecting building occupants to noise, dust, and other health impacting disruptions associated with construction. By designing flexible, adaptive, generic spaces, buildings can better respond to changes imposed by architectural composition of interpersonal and community space of hospital ward with minimum needs renovation and remodeling. This study focuses on the design principles of enhancing flexibility in architectural composition of interpersonal and community space of hospital ward. The purpose of this study is to provide fundamental data for designing interpersonal and community space of hospital ward through ecological flexible design principles with case on interpersonal and community space of hospital ward.

Purpose: This paper aimis to analyze the characteristics of ward plan of Korean hospital architecture constructed in each periods and identify the change since 1945. Methods: Literature review was conducted while ward plans for analysis were sellected. And then the important points of ward design were analyzed in each periods. Results: The important points of ward design - type of corridor in ward plan, number of beds per nursing unit, location of nurse station, organization of multi-bed rooms, location of patient toilet, number of day room, concentration and separation of elevator halls for patient and general- were analyzed and the characteristics of change were identified in each periods.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the application of elastic compression stocking during the stand for a long hours of works on edema and pain of lower extremities in ward nurses. Methods: The experimental group was subjected to elastic pressure tights for 5 days from the beginning to the end, and lower extremity edema and ankle and calf circumference were measured. Results: "There are significant differences in lower extremity pain the experimental group of elastic compression stocking and control group" was supported(p<.001). "There are significant differences in lower extremity edema the experimental group of elastic compression stocking and control group" was supported (p<.001). Conclusion: Applying elastic pressure stocking as a method of management of lower extremity pain and lower extremity edema in ward nurses, relieving symptoms related to lower extremity pain and lower extremity edema during work. This is an effective way to prevent problems and improve the health of nurses and provide quality nursing care.
