The study was carried out to provide basic data of improving the accessibility of medical service through identifying the factors that make hospital injury inpatient in non-residential area not in their residential area in Gyeongsangnam-do. This study analyzed not only 8,225 cases of discharged patients with damages from 2008, provided by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but also using a census and a research data on the actual condition from health care system. This study conducted a frequency test, a chi-square test and a logistic regression In result, first, the centralization of medical utilization of patients with damages is apparent centrally the city area. Second, medical utilization of injury patients in non-residential areas were significantly higher local area compared to City area. To improve this, a policy that can not only provide medical centers and sickbed, but also improve the quality of local medical treatments for the localization of medical treatments, for the accessibility of medical services, government is demanded policy for patients with damages in local area.

The inflow of infectious diseases is increasing due to the expansion of exchanges between countries and climate change. The public concern and anxiety about the increase of the possibility of infectious disease due to the social environment change are increasing greatly.These pandemics are a serious threat to the economy. Hence, multifaceted efforts are required to prevent them from spreading.In many hospitals, it is very important to promptly report infectious diseases, such as the CDC, when infectious diseases occur. In addition, it is difficult to separate general patients and suspected infected patients in these facilities, so there is a high risk of infection spreading within them. The paper presents the improvements of prevention and nonproliferation by researching the occurrence of infectious diseases, the method of separating infected patients, and the methods of preventing infectious diseases based on the audit results of MERS of the Board of Audit and Inspection.

Method : Analysis data targeted 399 cases of traditional medicine researches out of 696 cases, excluding overlapped 297 cases, that are relevanttokey-words, 'Oriental Medicine' and 'Herbal Prescription' registered in the National Institutes of Health Clinical Research Information Service(CRIS) as of 31 December, 2019. Including the regulation of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, research fund supporting, type of mediation, targeting disease and so forth, frequency analysis was carried out in order to confirm the general and specific characteristics of traditional medicine. Results : As a result of analyzing the data, researches of medicines(herbal medicines) and mediation(acupuncture, moxibustion) and were identified as the most and in the case of the targeting disease, it appeared in the order of targeting the research on musculoskeletal system and the healthy person.

The depression of the elderly decreases satisfaction in life and is also an important risky factor of their suicide. The subjects of the study were 615 males and 904 females aged above 65 who had the 2008 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey on the relations between presence of spouses and depression given by the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Through a chi-square test and a multiple logistic regression, the relations between general characteristics, contraction, health characteristics and depression were analysed. As a result of the multiple logistic regression for which age, family income, subjective health status, presence of activity limitation and stress were revised, the odds ratio of the males without spouses was 2.37(95% CI 1.03-5.45), which indicates that they had more depression than female subjects. However, for the female subjects, there were no relations between presence of spouses and depression.

The study was conducted to compare the factors affecting smoking quit attempts according to the amounts of smoking in adolescent smoker. The data were derived from the 12th Korea youth risk behavior web-based survey 2016 in Korea and analyzed using the IBM SPSS statistics version 21.0 software package considering complex samples analysis. The subjects were 4,012 adolescents smokers, Of these, 78.4% of the general smoker who smoke less than 10 cigarettes a day and 21.6% of the heavy smoker who smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day. As a logistic regression, vigorous physical activity, depression, smoking initiation time, friends smoking, smoking cessation education, and non-smoking promotion were associated with significantly smoking quit attempts in general smoker, vigorous physical activity, friends smoking, smoking cessation education, and non-smoking promotion were associated with significantly smoking quit attempts in heavy smoker. Based on the results, they were taken a baseline data for developing adapted smoking quit education program which were succeed effectively in adolescent smokers.

In order to analyze the variation in length of stay(LOS) of injury inpatients, we developed severity-adjusted LOS model using Korean National Discharge In-depth Injury Survey data of Center for Disease Control. Appling this model, we calculated predicted values and, after standardizing LOS using the differences from the actual values, analyzed the variation in LOS. Major factors affecting severity-adjusted LOS of injury inpatients were found to be severity, surgery(or no surgery), age, injury mechanism and channel of hospitalization. Result of analysis of the differences between the actual values and predicted values adjusted by decision tree model suggested that there were statistically significant differences by hospital size(number of beds), type of insurance and location of institution. In order to reduce the variation in LOS, efforts should be exerted in developing nationwide treatment protocol, inducing medical institutions to utilize it, and furthermore systematically evaluating it to reduce the variation continually.

The study was done to provide basic data of medical quality evaluation after developing the comorbidity disease mortality measurement modeled on the severity-adjustment method of AMI. This study analyzed 699,701 cases of Hospital Discharge Injury Data of 2005 and 2008, provided by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We used logistic regression to compare the risk-adjustment model of the Charlson Comorbidity Index with the predictability and compatibility of our severity score model that is newly developed for calibration. The models severity method included age, sex, hospitalization path, PCI presence, CABG, and 12 variables of the comorbidity disease. Predictability of the newly developed severity models, which has statistical C level of 0.796(95%CI=0.771-0.821) is higher than Charlson Comorbidity Index. This proves that there are differences of mortality, prevalence rate by method of mortality model calibration. In the future, this study outcome should be utilized more to achieve an improvement of medical quality evaluation, and also models will be developed that are considered for clinical significance and statistical compatibility.

The purpose of the study was to provide basic data for planning and offering nursing intervention to prevent suicide attempts by identifying the factors influencing the suicidal thoughts of depressed adults. The subjects of this study were 1,202 individuals who answered clearly in 2013-2015 National Health and Nutrition Survey. A composite sample plan file was generated using the IBM SPSS 23.0 program, and then the data were weighted and analyzed. Suicidal ideation was influenced by income (50-60s), number of family members (50-60s), marital status (40-50s), subjective health (30-50s, over 70s), stress (30s, over 50s), economic activity status (50s), diabetes (60s or older), alcohol consumption (60s), and Body Mass Index (BMI) (40s). These results suggest that tailor-made interventions for the prevention of suicide need to take into account the general and health-related factors of the subjects.
