  • This study examined the socio-economic and clinical characteristics associated with the use of ambulance services among pregnant, childbearing, and postpartum women based on data from the 2008-2016 Korea Health Panel. The analysis revealed that among the pregnant, childbearing, and postpartum women, the proportion using all ambulance services was 18.9% whereas 12.0% used private and 119 ambulances. Moreover, among those using ambulance services, delivery was the most common reason (38.7%) followed by complications of labor and delivery (20.0%) and pregnancy with abortive outcome (17.3%). There were statistically significant differences between the users and non-users of ambulance services in terms of the average annual household income, emergency arrival time, and delayed arrival at the emergency room. As childbirth becomes more complicated due to low fertility and elderly mothers, the expansion and improvement of ambulance services as a social safety net for pregnant, childbearing, and postpartum women will become increasingly important.

  • With the prolonged spread of the new coronavirus infection worldwide and the entry of the super-aged society, smart health care, which combines IT technology for senior health care and the health care industry, is emerging as a solution to the aging problem. The development of non-face-to-face care services using Ai is on a global trend, not in some countries, and the form of care services for the elderly using AI artificial intelligence technology is changing rapidly. The convenience of AI-based care services for the elderly is expected to be highlighted, and the technology and market are expected to develop significantly. As the number of single-person households is increasing, the shortage of welfare workers for the elderly is emerging as a social issue. It is presented as a vision to solve long-term social problems such as the labor shortage of elderly care workers as well as the advantages of convenient care services using IT technology. Therefore, we would like to propose the development direction of care services for the elderly as a case study of care services for the elderly and a countermeasure against the super-aging age.

  • The current social service delivery system for people with disabilities has four critical problems: absence of needs assessment, absence of case management, shortage of professional workers, and absence of local social welfare agencies. The Ministry of Health, Welfare, and Family of Korea has pushed forward with a project to reform the welfare infra-structure for people with disabilities since 2007. It's main purpose is to reorganize the social service delivery system for people with disabilities. A report from the project makes two suggestions: introduction of new standards for disability and set-up of disability service determination centers. The new standards for disability are suggested to include a work ability test and a welfare needs assessment tool as well as a medical standard. Three models for disability service determination centers are suggested: independent model, local governmental model, and public corporational model. Tentative operations using the three models are on the way in the second half of 2008. In order to reform the social service delivery system for people with disabilities, this study makes a fundamental suggestion: set-up of about 120 local welfare agencies over which the Ministry of Health, Welfare, and Family can have direct control, and which are equipped with professional workers who are able to perform needs assessment and case management. In actuality, welfare centers for disabled people are the best options for local welfare agencies for disabled people.

  • 정부의 건강증진사업은 국민의 건강수명 연장과 삶의 질 향상에 궁극적인 목적이 있다. 이는 건강 지지적인 환경을 조성하고 질병을 예방${\cdot}$관리하며 평생 건강서비스를 제공하고 건강한 생활양식을 형성하도록 함으로써 달성될 수 있는 것이다. 건강증진사업을 위한 기반으로 연구와 개발 강화, 법과 규칙의 조정, 기금과 인력과 같은 자원 확보는 필수적이다. 정부의 건강증진전략은 첫째 자원할당의 우선순위를 확보하는 것으로 건강증진, 질병 및 손상의 예방, 재활관련 사업에 더욱 많은 자원을 할당하는 것이며, 둘째로 국가차원의 건강증진 프로그램을 개발하여 실행하는 것이다. 포괄적인 생애주기별 건강증진 프로그램(건강증진종합계획)과 모아보건, 학교보건, 산업보건, 그리고 만성질환예방프로그램 등이 포함된 포괄적인 프로그램을 개발하여 실행하는 것이다. 셋째로, 건강증진기금을 공공보건을 위한 하부기반과 건강증진 프로그램에 투자함으로써 사업의 하부기반을 정비하는 것이다. 건강증진사업을 위한 하부기반으로는 정책과 위임사항을 들 수 있는데, 국민건강증진법과 국민건강증진종합계획, 2005년 6월에 서울시 의회를 통과한 건강도시추진위원회를 들 수 있다. 정부의 건강증진사업의 법적 기반은 1995년에 제정된 국민건강증진법이다. 국민건강증진법은 국민들이 건강에 대한 가치를 인식하고 책임의식을 함양하며, 올바른 건강지식을 갖고, 국민들이 건강한 생활양식을 실천할 수 있는 환경 조성을 목적으로 하고 있다. 건강증진사업은 대중을 위한 보건교육과 건강상담, 영양관리, 구강보건관리, 질병의 조기발견과 치료를 위한 건강검진, 지역사회 건강문제에 관한 조사와 연구, 담배소비 감소와 건강증진부담금 부과를 통한 국민건강상태의 향상을 위한 사업이다. 훈련과정으로는 보건복지부에서 2005년부터 수행하고 있는 시와 지역을 위한 현장관리 프로그램과 서울시가 수행예정인 지역수준의 지도자 훈련과정이 있다. 건강증진사업의 원활한 진행을 위한 기금조성은 건강증진기금이 담배세로부터 조성되고 있으며 2004년 12월 31일 현재 담배 한 갑 당 500원으로 인상되어 부과되고 있다. 기금의 관리와 운용은 보건복지부가 담당하며, 기금은 건강한 생활양식형성에 대한 지원활동, 국민을 위한 보건교육과 교육자료 개발, 건강증진과 만성질환에 대한 연구, 질병의 조기발견을 위한 건강검진, 구강보건관리활동에 사용되고 있다. 향후 건강증진사업 투자계획은 1단계 (98-02년)에는 사업기반조성기, 2단계(03-06년) 보건소사업발전기, 3단계(07-11년)통합사업정착기로 구성되고 2단계의 인프라구축에 사용될 투자 비율은 30%에서 3단계에 15%로 감소될 예정이며, 사업실행 영역은 50%에서 65%로 확대될 계획이다. 2005년 건강증진사업의 중점목표는 건강증진사업의 지방 분산화, 건강증진사업의 근거마련, 사회적 형평성의 달성에 있다. 건강증진사업의 지방분산화를 위해서는 중앙에 관리센터가 설치되어 기획과 평가, 연구와 개발, 현장관리 훈련을 담당하게 되고, 지역관리센터에서는 자치적인 보건소 중심 건강증진사업의 수행과 평가를 진행하게 된다. 건강증진사업의 근거마련을 위해서 효과가 입증된 사업에 우선순위를 두며, 기획과 평가위원회를 설치하고, 건강증진사업의 평가결과를 환류 할 수 있는 체계를 마련하는 것이다. 또한 건강증진포럼을 구성하며 현 건강조사 체계를 수정한다. 한편 형평성 제고의 측면에서는 저소득층, 노인, 장애인들과 같은 취약계층의 건강상태 향상을 위한 중앙정부와 지방자치단체의 역할을 강화하고, 지역간${\cdot}$사회적 집단 간의 건강증진사업관련 형평성을 제고한다.

  • I constructed the 2003 Korean 'social accounting matrix'(SAM) to analyze the multipliers of total demand for each economic activity. I find that the relative magnitude of the influence of the welfare policy to the national economy measured by input-output production multipliers tends to be underestimated compared to SAM multipliers. This is because the total demand multipliers of SAM include the private sector effects, which is not considered in the input-output model. The result also support that income inflows in public service areas including education, health and social work, generate gains in the relative income of households.

  • The study aimed to investigate the effects of differences between personal income and social deprivation on the association between cardio-cerebrovascular disease (hypertension, stroke) and periodontal disease. This study used 12 years of cohort data from the Korea National Health Insurance Service covering the years 2002 to 2013. Among the patients aged more than 40 years who had received treatment for periodontal disease 224,067 and 284,730 who had not received treatment for hypertension and stroke, respectively, were included in the analysis. The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed differences in the rate of treatment for cardio-cerebrovascular disease (hypertension, stroke) according to regional differences, the rate of treatment increased as the composite deprivation index value increased. The difference in treatment rates for cardio-cerebrovascular disease (hypertension, stroke) according to income was found to be higher in the treatment group with low income. This study empirically proved that the association between systemic disease and periodontal disease varies depending on personal income and the regional socioeconomic deprivation level. This shows that the clinical influence of periodontal illness on systemic disease differs according to the personal socio-demographic characteristic and residential area and that an individual's characteristic (income and the regional) needs to be considered along with the patient's clinical intervention in the disease treatment process.

  • This study examines the changing paradigm of family welfare policy and tries to find an appropriate model for the delivery system of family welfare service. First, the study reviews the contexts of family policy in new paradigm, and traces the changing process of family welfare-related administration from the ministry of human and health to the ministry of family and gender equality. Second, the study examines the principles of the delivery system for family welfare service to pursue the advancement of family policy. In conclusion, it proposes an alternative model for the successful settlement into community of family welfare delivery system, and a desirable position and role of family support center. The principles of the delivery system of family welfare service is fundamentally to make family policy come realistic, such as strengthening family stability through the harmonic reconciliation of work and family, preventing any forms of families from social safety net, and securing happy lives. Comprehensiveness, continuity, effectiveness, and accessibility of the system are also needed. In particular, family support center, recently very controversial, could be better as a representative council of networking various kinds of community organizations in the fields of family welfare enhancement, rather than organization of direct service provision, such as family counselling, education and therapy. Finally, an alternative model of delivery system for family welfare service is presented.
