Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the family composition of terminally ill cancer patients admitted to the hospice unit and how it affects their hospice care. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of terminal cancer patients who died in one hospice unit between January 2009 and March 2014. The demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were examined, and any different made by their marital status was evaluated. We calculated the time interval between cancer diagnosis and hospice admission and the survival period from hospice admission to death and analyzed their association with family composition. Results: When divided by the median time of 13 months between diagnosis and admission, Group B (>13 months) had a significantly higher proportion of patients living with their spouses; (P<0.01). The main decision maker was a spouse (52.9%) in Group B; (P=0.04). Conclusion: Among the characteristics of the family composition, the presence of spouse was an important factor associated with admission to a hospice unit. Clinicians need to be aware of the impact of marital status on end-of-life care. This study indicates that it is helpful to understand family composition of terminallyill cancer patients for an effective palliative and hospice care.

This paper reports on the development of the Children's Separtion Rating Scale(CSRS), its initial reliability and validity, and clinical/research utility with psychiatrically hospitalized children. The CSRS appears to be a reliable and valid instrument, and useful in distinguishing children's separation reaction from their general psychopathology. It may be also useful in aiding clinicians in differential diagnosis. This study points to the need for further understanding of children's psychiatric hospitalization in relation to their separation reaction and its possible untoward effects. Findings of this pilot study support the notion that inpatient treatment programs should address the developmental needs and abilities of the various age groups and the particular deficits reflected in their psychopathology.

This study analyzed the relationship between the convergence performance in hospital. This study examined previous research and calculated centralized index using diagnosis related groups. In addition, multiple regression analysis was used based on LOS in order to understand the effect of focused strategy which quality of medical inpatient service. The centralized level was examined by analyzing national inpatient sample data using 'Internal Herfindahl-Hirshman index' This study is significant because it reviewed medical inpatient service quality by measuring hospital centralized level which has been rarely studied before Korea.

본 논문에서는 지방환자의 서울진료의 추이와 치료결과를 살펴보기 위해 2005년, 2008년의 퇴원환자 조사 자료를 재원일수를 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 2005년 퇴원환자 333,280명과 2008년 퇴원환자 419,873명의 성별, 연령별, 주진단 분포는 유사한 것으로 나타났으며 치료결과 재원일수는 2005년에 30일 이상이 7.2%, 20~29일이 5.9%인데 비해 2008년은 30일이상이 6.2%, 20~29일 6.0%로 나타나 재원일수는 절감되었다. 전체퇴원환자의 재원일수에 영향을 끼치는 요인에 대해 회귀분석 결과 연도, 성, 보험유형, 의료기관유형, 입원경로, 내원 경유, 주진단, 거주지의 효과를 통제한 후 지방환자의 진료지역에 따른 재원일수를 살펴본 결과 서울이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 암환자의 재원일수에 영향을 끼치는 요인에 대해서도 연도, 성, 보험유형, 의료기관유형, 입원경로, 내원 경우, 주진단, 거주지의 효과를 통제한 후 지방환자의 진료지역에 따른 재원일수를 살펴본 결과 서울이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 지방환가 거주지에서 진료를 받는 것에 비해 서울에서 진료를 받는 것이 치료결과가 짧았다. 이는 타 지역 진료의 간접의료비 영향으로 서울지역에서 조기 퇴원하여 거주지에서 진료하였거나 서울 진료자가 중증도가 낮은 환자가 많아 재원일수가 낮을 수 있다는 것도 배제 할 수 없다. 이에 대한 중증도 보정 후 서울 진료환자의 재원일수가 낮은 요인을 분석하는 추후 연구가 필요하다.

Introduction : 최근 의료기관 내 진료비 정산으로 인한 전산화사업이 적극 추진되면서 각 의료기관은 생성된 자료의 목적과는 무관하게 대량의 자료를 지니고 있으면서도 병원경영과 관련하게 자료를 활용하고 있지 못하다．Objectives : 병원 입원환자의 데이터를 분석하여 입원환자의 이탈요인을 파악하여 이탈을 방지하고 지속적인 의료서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 하고자 한다. Method : 본 연구는 일개병원을 퇴원환자를 대상으로 2006년 1월 1일~2007년 12월 31일 동안의 퇴원환자 데이터를 기반으로 연구되었다. 퇴원환자 38,359명의 병원데이터 베이스를 기반으로 동일 연구기간 외래 누적데이터 375,659건의 외래환자 데이터와 비교하여 퇴원환자 중 재입원 예약 및 외래진료 예약 부도여부를 비교하는 후향적 연구를 수행하였다. 2008년 1월 1일 기준 재입원 예약 및 외래진료 예약부도 발생여부를 기준으로 계속진료환자 그릅과 이탈환자그룹을 생성하였다. 중복을 제거한 총 대상은 3,503명이였다. Discussion :본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 기초로 퇴원환자의 이탈률이 높은 환자그룹을 집중 관리하여 이탈을 방지하고 관심을 갖고 향후 잠재적 이탈 고객을 다시 유입할 수 있는 많은 방안들이 마련되어야 할 것이다.

대기오염과 건강과의 관련성에 있어서 최근의 관심사는 대부분 호흡기 질환에 초점을 맞추고 있으나, 대기오염은 호흡기 질환 뿐만 아니라 심혈관계 질환과도 관련성이 있는 것으로 최근에 보고되고 있다(Schwartz, 1999). 따라서 본 연구에서는 서울시내 의료기관에 입원한 환자들을 대상으로 1997년부터 1999년까지의 3년간 대기오염농도 변화와 순환기계질환으로 인한 병원입원률과의 상관성을 시계열적 분석방법을 이용하여 평가하고자 하였다. (중략)

Objectives：The major goal of this study was to investigate the treatment outcome of psychiatric treatment in inpatients with conduct disorder and to elucidate factors affecting its prognosis. Methods：We reviewed the medical records of 300 inpatients with conduct disorder who had been treated with a specialized adolescent treatment program. Follow-up structured telephone interview had been performed in 96 patients. Results：1) At the point of follow-up, 90% of the patients were improved in behavioral patterns, 2% of the patients were worse, and 8% of the patients were unchanged. 2) Intrafamilial relationship was improved in 70% of the patients, worse in 2%, and unchanged in 28%. 3) Fifty-seven percent of families thought to be helped by psychiatric inpatient treatment, 6% replied to be harmed, and 37% thought not to be helpful. 4) Comparing the good prognosis group who were all better in behavioral patterns, intrafamilial relationship, and efficacy of treatment with the rest of subjects, the good prognosis group was significantly younger and had more history of problems in familial structure. Conclusion：Although the present study had some meterological limits, the promising positive results in the outcome of inpatients with conduct disorder encourages further more sophisticated investigations in this problematic psychiatric conditions.

The increased needs for medical cost containment and the quality of life improvement for the low-income elderly with chronic disease require the complementary relationship between hospital care and community health services. This study investigated the current status of the linkage between Korean hospital care and community services using Seoul Welfare Panel Study(SWPS) data. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the effects of experiences of hospitalization and outpatient health services on use and needs of community health services. The analysis results indicated that the elderly with chronic disease who have not experienced outpatient health services were unlikely to receive health and social services in the community. Even those who have experienced hospitalization were not provided complementary health services in the community despite the increasing demand.
