대한악안면성형재건외과학회는 2004년도부터 매년 인도적 차원에서 의료 환경이 낙후된 Vietnam의 cleft lip and palate 환자들을 치료하기 위해 무료로 해외 진료 봉사 활동을 해왔다. 초창기 해외 진료 봉사 활동 당시 베트남 의료 기술 발달이 미비하여 준비해야 할 것들이 많았으나 이 후 베트남의 경제 발전과 함께 의료 시설 및 의료 기술이 발달함에 따라 준비 품목 등이 간단명료해지고 현지 지원 및 수술 준비도 원활히 진행되었다. 이러한 무료 의료 봉사 활동을 계기로 개발도상국의 낙후된 의료 시설 및 의료 기술 발전, 의료 혜택을 받지 못한 구순 구개열 환자의 정상적 안모 및 기능 회복, 조건 없는 의료 봉사 활동을 통한 민간외교 효과 및 양국간의 우호 증진 등의 성과가 있었다. 대한악안면성형재건외과학회에서는 2009년도 역시 베트남 National Institute of Odonto-stomatology 에서 11월17일부터 26일까지 cleft lip and palate 무료수술진료단(단장 신효근)을 보내 수술봉사 활동을 펼치고 돌아 왔다. 일반적인 구순구개열 뿐만 아니라 양측성 안면열(Bilateral Facial Cleft), 사경(Torticollis) 등의 희귀 기형을 포함하여 수술을 진행하였으며 총 31례의 수술을 성공적으로 마쳤으며 지난 6년 동안의 성과와 함께 이에 대한 보고를 하고자 한다.

Purpose: In terminal cancer patients, pain control with narcotic analgesics and supportive care by hospice are very useful treatment modality. However, many patients and their caregivers are poorly compliant in using narcotic analgesics for fear of addiction and tolerance. And also many patients and family caregivers are reluctant to accept hospice, presuming that hospice means patient's condition is no longer reversible and progressively deteriorating. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and analyze the perception of using narcotic analgesics and hospice by family caregivers of terminal cancer patients who play a critical role in health care in Korean culture. Methods: A total of 54 terminal ranter patient's family caregivers participated in this study. Questionnaire consisted of 15 questions about narcotic analgesics and hospice. Results: The study revealed following results. 1) family caregivers who are not aware of hospice are more than half (56.7%). 2) 81.8% of family caregivers agreed that hospice care is beneficial to terminal cancer patients. 3) 85.1% of family caregivers were under financial burden. 4) 83.2% of patient complained pain in 24 hours. 3) while 88.5% of family caregivers believed that narcotic analgesics can control pair, 79.1% and 79.6% of them also believed that use of narcotic analgesics would result in addiction and tolerance, respectively. Conclusion: There still exist barriers to family caregivers in using narcotic analgesics for pain control. And also, terminal cancer patient's family caregivers have poor information about hospice. Therefore, educational intervention about narcotic analgesics by pharmacist and doctors are needed for proper pain control for terminal ranter patients. In addition, more precise information about hospice care should be provided for terminal cancer patients and their family caregivers.

One of the current issues in Workers' Compensation Insurance is about the coverage range. Korea uses the definition of worker under the Labor Standards Act in Workers' Compensation Act and solved the problems associated with the coverage range of insurance group by the exceptional clause only for the groups which was raised about the need for the social protection. The purpose of this paper is to draw implications for solving problems which are associated with the coverage range of insurance group by reviewing the German literature. We focus on volunteers and persons in special types of employment. German government supports the activity of volunteers by providing with the protection service against the accidents. This paper shows how the coverage range is extended from the dependent employees in the introduction of the Workers' Compensation Insurance to the people who need social protection focusing on the volunteers. The implications of this research are following. First, German system shows that Workers' Compensation Insurance can be extended to the groups which do not belong to the dependent employee but are worthy of protection. Second, it is necessary to provide volunteers in the social welfare system with the protection service against the accidents and the statutory accident scheme is recommendable to use. Third, volunteers in the social welfare system need to be compulsory insured. Fourth, Korea should find their own way in solving problems associated with persons in special types of employment.
