Objectives: The purpose of this study was to verify a change for family nursing phenomena and satisfaction of clients of vulnerable families in an urban community. Methods: The study subjects were 711 families, randomly selected, who had chronic diseases(arthritis diabetes, stroke, hypertension, mental disease, cancer, dementia) with basic social welfare services from the nation and had disabled persons in an urban community, South Korea. The instruments used were the family nursing phenomena in Korea by ICNP and client satisfaction. Client satisfaction consisted of client satisfaction on home visiting nurses(4 Likert scales) and home visiting services(3 Likert scales). Results: The average visiting number is 3.82. The service number of education and counseling is 3.16, patient and symptom management 3.08, assessment and diagnosis 3.08, test 2.02, medication service 1.71회, dressing 1.01, referral to social welfare institute 1.00회, referral to medical service institute 0.21. In both, pre home visiting and post home visiting, the highest rated phenomenon was the 'lack of social support system' and following that 'deficit of financial management skill and support'. 'lack of family interaction in community', and 'social isolation' 'unhealthy life style' and 'inadequate care management of sick member', in that order. The percentages of phenomena besides 'deficit of financial management skill and support' decreased. The satisfaction level of clients towards the nurses was 3.27 points on a scale of 4, and the nursing services was 2.70 points on a scale of 3. Conclusion: Home visiting nursing services should continue to provide comprehensive healthcare services and support for vulnerable families, in urban communities.

In this paper, we target to develop weather platform and services to use in smart devices which is in real-time mobility environment. The existing TPEG-based navigation service requires a dedicated terminal, DMB communication method, and service scalability, so there are limits. In this paper, we analyze, processing and storage the real-time weather information suitable for navigation on the end user's smart devices by weather information service platform has been developed that can provide a standardized. In addition, we develop weavigation services and API for the developer to develop weather services easily. And we introduce system for serving information of dangerous district forecast based on natural disaster dangerous district data.

최근 경제수준 향상과 소자녀 가치관의 확립, 그리고 전국민 의료보험 실시 등으로 인하여 모자보건 대상자의 대부분은 민간 의료시설의 전문인력으로부터 서비스를 제공받게 되었고, 모자보건 수준도 급격히 향상, 1992년 시설분만율의 경우, 99%에 도달하였다. 이렇듯 의료시설 이용의 증가와 의료기술의 발전에도 불구하고, 영아사망율 및 모성사망율이 최근 몇년동안 같은 수준에 머무르고 있음은, 보다 질적인 관리측면으로 사업의 방향이 전환되어야 함을 의미하는데 이는 곧 공공성을 띠고 있는 모자보건사업을 국가가 관리하여야 할 필요성을 더욱 크게 한다. 공공부문에서는 취약대상을 위하여 민간 전문인력과의 유기적인 연계체계를 마련하여 계속적인 관리를 제공할 수 있도록 하고, 보건교육 강화를 위한 관련 홍보물(모자보건수첩 활용, 모유수유 권장, 제왕절개수술 지양 등)을 제작하며 신경아세포종 검사 등과 같은 새로운 예방사업 개발에 중점을 두어야 할 것이다. 또한 영유아관리는 저체중아 및 장애아에 대한 추구관리서비스까지 확대되어야 할 것이다. 현 우리나라 주산기구급이송체계는 응급의료체계내에서 이루어지고 있다고 볼 수 있는데 주산기관리를 위한 의료여건이 성숙되어 있지 못하고 있는데다(이 시기의 집중관리를 통하여 사망 및 장애아 예방이 가능) 관련 제도마저 취약하여 민간의료부문에서는 영아사망 및 모성사망을 낮추기 위해서는 이 부문에 대한 노력이 집중되어야 할 것이다. 첫째, 주산기학, 신생아학 전문인력의 훈련제도 확립파 주산기 관리시설의 지역적 적정분배(분만 2,000건에 1개 시설마련), 둘째, 집중적인 인력과 고가장비가 투입되는 주산기 의료활동 강화를 위한 관련 의료제도의 수정 및 보완, 세째, 질적관리가 매우 중시되는 고위험 신생아의 집중관리를 위한 '표준 의료관리지침서' 마련, 네째, 동 시설 및 관리에 준하여 주산기 의료시설에 대한 감독 및 감시기능 강화를 위한 제도적 장치가 마련되어야 할 것이다.

The purposes of this study are to find the difference in information literacy among the elderly home care service users and to identify the impact of information literacy on service quality and satisfaction among service users. To achieve the goals, this study used 466 responses from the elderly home care service recipients in Jeollabukdo providence, and conducted t-tests, ANOVA and a series of regression analyses. The results showed that there were significant differences in information literacy by gender, household type, residence area, education level and subjective health status among service users. The study also found that service users information literacy had a significant impact on service quality and satisfaction, and it confirms the importance of customized service. This study suggests that information literacy inequality exists among the elderly home care service users, therefore, the way to improve information delivery strategy should be developed for the information-poor elderly.

There are approximately 25,724 shelters to which people can be quickly evacuated for safety in case of emergency across the nation, and Seoul has about 3,870 shelters. Those nationwide shelters are located at a point within a five-minute radius for quick evacuation. Seoul's shelter capacity can hold 285% of its population. The problem is, however, that there is no knowing how many shelters are reachable within five minutes when considering walking speed according to individual differences in age, height, health state, and physical condition. In addition, available service areas become different according to the spatial allocation and distribution of shelters with possible vulnerable points. This study thus defined the pedestrian walking speed at 1m/s, 1.3m/s, and 2m/s by reviewing previous studies and conducted network analysis of the Location Allocation Model with the designated shelters and road networks in Seoul. The results identified the shelter service and vulnerable areas in each administrative district of Seoul according to walking speeds. It was analyzed that the vulnerable areas in which the elderly could not reach a shelter were more than twice as big as those of adult men and women with a fast walking speed.

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.

In order to resolve the imbalances in the supply of living SOCs according to socio-economic status, location, and population groups, the discussions on inclusive city policies are expanding. The purpose of this study is to propose an Index of Park Derivation (IPD) as an alternative indicator for the promotion of an inclusive urban park policy that can be applied in the 7 major metropolitan cities to select a region with a relatively high park needs. The main research results are as follows. First, the concept of an inclusive urban park policy is defined as "a policy to supply to manage high-quality park services with priority given to areas with low socio-economic and environmental status, such as a large amount of elderly, children, low-income families, areas vulnerable to disasters, such as heat and fine dust, and population groups." Second, we developed the index of park derivation (IPD), which is a combination of 17 variables including park service level, demographic characteristics, economic and educational level, health level, and environmental vulnerability. The variables that constitute the index of park deprivation (IPD) can be applied to SOC policies outside the parks, such as sports facilities, daycare centers, kindergartens, and public libraries. Third, applying index of park deprivation (IPD) to 1,148 Eup/Myeon/dong areas of the 7 metropolitan cities resulted in areas with relatively high park service needs. This study implies that the central and the local government suggest an alternative index to promote an inclusive urban park policy based on statistical and geographical information and data that can be easily accessed and utilized.
