Objectives:The present study investigates the status of inpatient psychiatric consultations at a general hospital in order to find factors that contribute to treatment compliance related to psychiatric consultations. Methods:The subjects were 333 patients who were hospitalized at Korea University Medical Center Ansan Hospital from 1 September 2009 to 31 July 2010.The patients were referred for psychiatric consultation during hospitalization. This study investigates demographic data, request department, referral causes, requestor, psychiatric history and diagnosis, andpsychiatric treatment compliance. Treatment compliance was defined as whether or not the patient had accepted psychiatric treatment during hospitalization or outpatient department(OPD) follow-up. This study ascertains the factors that have impact on compliance, by taking binary logistic regression with compliance and other variables. Results:Among the patients that were offered psychiatric treatment during hospitalization(N=310), treatment compliance was 82.9%. Among the patients that were offered OPD treatment(N=111), compliance was 55.8%. Elderly group(>65 years) showed better compliance to treatment during hospitalization than the younger patient group(OR=4.838, p=0.004). Patients with secondary psychiatric disorders showed better OPD follow-up compliance than patients with secondary psychiatric disorders(OR=8.520, p=.008). Conclusion:Elderly patients showed better compliance for psychiatric treatment during hospitalization. However they commonly have disorders such as delirium and mood disorders that have impact on the patient's physical state, hence further active measures should be carried out. Patients referred due to primary psychiatric disorders showed poor OPD compliance. Therefore clinicians have to suggest multidisciplinary interventions that will improve treatment compliance of such patients.

근년에 이르러 암환자의 증가, 암치료성적의 호전, 그리고 암환자의 통원치료 증가등으로 암전문변원이나 암연구소의 치과의사(institutional dentist)뿐만 아니라, 일반 치과의사(non-institutional dentist)들도 암과 관련된 환자들을 접하는 기회가 늘고 있다. 일반적으로 구강함환자는 구강암 자체, 혹 그 처치를 통하여 전신적으로, 혹은 국소적으로 위약된 조건을 갖게되므로 치과치료시에는 특별한 지식과 세심한 주의가 필요하다. 이러한 필요에 이해 선진국에서는 이미 치과종양학(Dental Oncology)의 임상이 활발하다. 이제 이러한 치과종양학적 입장에서 외과적 수술, 방사선요법, 그리고 화학요법을 통한 구강암 (혹은 두경부암)의 처치시에 치과의사의 역할과 치과치료의 문제점 및 그 해결책에 대하여 기술하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the ambulatory care facilities according to the change of medical circumstance and to find the proper ones in Korea. A logical model was used with the data which were obtained from the National Statistical Office, the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Korea and OECD Health Data. A proper ambulatory care facility in Korea is suggested as like as MOB (Medical Office Building). It should be considered for outpatient in distance within 1km long. It's proper size may be designed for 10,000persons to 50,000persons by regions.

This study was attempted to identify the media preferences and the reasons of cancer patients. The data collection was conducted on 76 people. and they are 6 men, 70 women with 38 breast cancer patients, and 38 patients with other cancers. For measuring tools, self-written questionnaires and Mandala paintings were used for single-time art therapy. The data analysis compared the results of technical statistics, independence verification and chi verification using the SPSS WIN ver.25.0 with the Mandala painting. There were no significant differences in media preference by age and duration of the disease, and there were significant differences in media preference by disease. In the Mandala painting, the characteristics of the medium and the factors of specific disease showed that there were reasons and effects of preference media choice. This study is meaningful in that it concentrated on the art therapy access and support in terms of the cancer outpatients, which have been concentrated on inpatients so that they shed light to the support and intervention needed by the outpatients, and can be used as basic data for the development of art therapy programs to help stabilize the mind of cancer patients in the future.

A test study was conducted to identify the effects of diathermy through therapist's hand on patients with chronic lumbar pain. The study assessed the effectiveness of Winback High Frequency TECAR Therapy on 21 patients suffering from chronic lumbar pain and the testing was held at H Hospital and began in April 2016 and concluded in September 2016. Assessment of pain relief was through a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (ODQ). The results showed a VAS score decrease from $6.67{\pm}1.76$ to $5.52{\pm}2.03$ (p<0.05) and the ODQ results also showed an decrease from $41.19{\pm}2.56$ to $35.14{\pm}5.11$ (p<0.05). Both of these results are indicative of the positive effects that diathermy through therapist's hand has in the treatment of chronic pain, and the necessity for further studies in this field.

Depression has a direct relationship with lower quality of life for elderly with cerebral vascular accidents(CVA). Daily hassles worsen depression for elderly with CVA disability and thus an effective intervention is necessary. This research examined the direct influence of daily hassles on depression and the mediation effect of family support among 161 elderly with CVA disability living in Seoul using Structural Equation Modeling. The direct effect of daily hassles on depression was statistically significant (p < .001) while family support was shown to be a mediator between daily hassles and depression. The mediation model of family support was examined using $x^2$ difference and Soble test. As a result, family support was proven to be a partial mediator. Implications are discussed.

대학원생 김모씨(28세 여)는 귀에 갑작스런 통증을 느끼기 시작했다. 또 급격하게 저하된 청력으로 친구들의 말귀를 잘 못 알아들어 '사오정'이라는 별명도 얻게 되었다. 통증이 심해 병원을 찾아간 결과 외상성 고막천공이라는 진단을 받게 되었다. 이는 귀이개가 고막을 관통해 발생한 질병으로 귀이개로 귀를 후비던 중 실수고 너무 깊이 파 통증이 나타나게 된 것이다. 다행이 다른 부위는 손상이 없어 외래에서 간단한 수술 및 통원치료 후 증상은 좋아졌다. 또 직장인 박모씨(34세 남)는 어느 날부터 갑자기 귀에서 고름이 나오고, 고약한 냄새를 풍겨 병원을 찾았는데, 만성 외이도염이라는 진단을 받았다. 원인은 하루가 멀다 하고 귀지를 파내는 오래된 습관 때문이라는 것이다. 습관을 바꾸지 않으면 앞으로 청력도 떨어질 수 있다는 의사의 말에 귀이개부터 멀리하기 시작했다. 고려대 안산병원 이비인후과 조승현 교수는 "종종 속을 썩이는 것이 귀지"라며 "무리하게 후비다가는 고막까지 버릴 수 있으므로 함부로 파서는 안된다"고 지적한다.

Due to the development of improved living conditions and medical technology in recent periodic taking drugs is increasing through the outpatient rather than inpatient hospital care. Particularly in the case of patients suffering from geriatric diseases. This geriatric patients should have more attention to the taking medication management because it must keep the medication period. In this paper, we propose and describe an taking medicine information service system for the period and stable taking medicine in patients using the NFC-based u-Drug Cap and technology development and system test results. The developed system is through proper taking medicine information and alarm of geriatric patients or elderly patients. The patient's health can be maintained by preventing not taking and over taking of medicine.

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of home based exercise program on balance recovery of stroke patients. In total, 20 participants were assigned to a control group(n=10) or exercise group(n=10) between September 2013 and December 2013. In addition to existing physiotherapy, the exercise group received home based exercise program consisting of weight transfer, training endurance, mobility, sensory retraining, lower limb exercise for 30 minutes, 2 times a week, for 8 weeks, every time for 30 minutes. Balance ability was assessed by measuring foot pressure(FP), limit of stability(LOS) and velocity sway(VS) by using Biorescue and by using the functional reaching test(FRT). To compare the improvement level of each group's balance ability, examination of independent sample T was done. Significant differences between control group and exercise group in LOS, VS of affect side and FRT were observed. This study showed that home based exercise program application was effective strategy on balance recovery in a post stroke population.
