  • The government has adopted a policy to introduce Home Health Care Program, and has established a three stage plan to implement it. The three stage plan is : First, to amend Article 54 (Nurses for Different Types of Services) of the Regulations for Implementing the Law of Medical Services; Second, to tryout the new system through pilot projects established in public hospitals and clinics; and third, to implement at all hospitals and equivalent medical institutions. In accordance with the plan, the Regulation has been amend and it was promulgated on January 9,1990, thus establishing a legal ground for implementing the policy. Subsequently, however, the Medical Association raised its objection to the policy, causing a delay in moving into the second stage of the plan. Under these circumstances, a study was conducted by collecting and evaluating the opinions of physicians, nurses, non-medical personnel and patients on the need and expected result from the home health care for the purpose of help facilitating the implementation of the new system. As a result of this study, it was revealed that: 1. Except the physicians, absolute majority of all other three groups - nurses, non-medical personnel and patients -gave positive answers to all 11 items related to the need for establishing a program for Home Health Care. Among the physicians, the opinions on the need for the new services were different depending on their field of specialty, and those who have been treating long term patients were more positive in supporting the new system. 2. The respondents in all four groups held very positive view for the effectiveness and the expected result of the program. The composite total of scores for all of 17 items, however, re-veals that the physicians were least positive for the- effectiveness of the new system. The people in all four groups held high expectation on the system on the ground that: it will help continued medical care after the discharge from hospitals; that it will alleviate physical and economic burden of patient's family; that it will offer nursing services at home for the patients who are suffering from chronic disease, for those early discharge from hospital, or those who are without family members to look after the patients at home. 3. Opinions were different between patients( who will receive services) and nurses (who will provide services) on the types of services home visiting nurses should offer. The patients wanted "education on how to take care patients at home", "making arrangement to be admitted into hospital when need arises", "IV injection", "checking blood pressure", and "administering medications." On the other hand, nurses believed that they can offer all 16 types of services except "Controlling pain of patients", 4. For the question of "what types of patients are suitable for Home Health Care Program; " the physicians, the nurses and non-medical personnel all gave high score on the cases of "patients of chronic disease", "patients of old age", "terminal cases", and the "patients who require long-term stay in hospital". 5. On the question of who should control Home Health Care Program, only physicians proposed that it should be done through hospitals, while remaining three groups recommended that it should be done through public institutions such as public health center. 6. On the question of home health care fee, the respondents in all four groups believed that the most desireable way is to charge a fixed amount of visiting fee plus treatment service fee and cost of material. 7. In the case when the Home Health Care Program is to be operated through hospitals, it is recommended that a new section be created in the out-patient department for an exclusive handling of the services, instead of assigning it to an existing section. 8. For the qualification of the nurses for-home visiting, the majority of respondents recommended that they should be "registered nurses who have had clinical experiences and who have attended training courses for home health care". 9. On the question of if the program should be implemented; 74.0% of physicians, 87.5% of non-medical personnel, and 93.0% of nurses surveyed expressed positive support. 10. Among the respondents, 74.5% of -physicians, 81.3% of non-medical personnel and 90.9% of nurses said that they would refer patients' to home health care. 11. To the question addressed to patients if they would take advantage of home health care; 82.7% said they would if the fee is applicable to the Health Insurance, and 86.9% said they would follow advises of physicians in case they were decided for early discharge from hospitals. 12. While 93.5% of nurses surveyed had heard about the Home Health Care Program, only 38.6% of physicians surveyed, 50.9% of non-medical personnel, and 35.7% of patients surveyed had heard about the program. In view of above findings, the following measures are deemed prerequisite for an effective implementation of Home Health Care Program. 1. The fee for home health care to be included in the public health insurance. 2. Clearly define the types and scope of services to be offered in the Home Health Care Program. 3. Develop special programs for training nurses who will be assigned to the Home Health Care Program. 4. Train those nurses by consigning them at hospitals and educational institutions. 5. Government conducts publicity campaign toward the public and the hospitals so that the hospitals support the program and patients take advantage of them. 6. Systematic and effective publicity and educational programs for home heath care must be developed and exercises for the people of medical professions in hospitals as well as patients and their families. 7. Establish and operate pilot projects for home health care, to evaluate and refine their programs.

  • Background: Chronic cough is defined as a cough lasting more than 8 weeks and socio-economic burden of chronic cough is enormous. The characteristics of chronic cough in Korea are not well understood. The Korean Academy of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases (KATRD) published guidelines on cough management in 2014. The current study evaluated the clinical characteristics of chronic cough in Korea and the efficacy of the KATRD guidelines. Methods: This was a multi-center, retrospective observational study conducted in Korea. The participants were over 18 years of age. They had coughs lasting more than 8 weeks. Subjects with current pulmonary diseases, smokers, exsmokers with more than 10 pack-years or who quit within the past 1 year, pregnant women, and users of cough-inducing medications were excluded. Evaluation and management of cough followed the KATRD cough-management guidelines. Results: Participants with chronic cough in Korea showed age in the late forties and cough duration of more than 1 year. Upper airway cough syndrome was the most common cause of cough, followed by cough-variant asthma (CVA). Gastro-esophageal reflux diseases and eosinophilic bronchitis were less frequently observed. Following the KATRD cough-management guidelines, 91.2% of the subjects improved after 4 weeks of treatment. Responders were younger, had a longer duration of cough, and an initial impression of CVA. In univariate and multivariate analyses, an initial impression of CVA was the only factor related to better treatment response. Conclusion: The causes of chronic cough in Korea differed from those reported in other countries. The current Korean guidelines proved efficient for treating Korean patients with chronic cough.

Man(33.3%) and most of woman(35.0%) considered that Health education is necessary. 32.7% in men and 27.3% in women did't mind educator is whoever. Preventing of lower back pain(LBP) and proper Health education of sex life are demanded in daily life. 3) 58.0% of man and 64.0% of woman mostly had a posture which is man over woman. 28.5% in men and 27.8% in women considered that proper information finding of LBP and sex life was very few and few. 37.7% in men and 42.7% in women have acquired information about sex life flung their friends. 4) The number of sex life was decreased from 2.96 0.98 to 2.61 1.63 and also the time of sex life was decreased from 3.65 1.89 to 226 1.64. The satisfaction rate of sex life changed from 3.60 0.86 to 2.77 1.10. In the number of sex life, The non correct group was 2.62 1.91 and the correct group was higher in 2.68 1.65. In the time of sex life, The non correct group was 2.02 1.47 and the correct group was higher in 229 1.65. The satisfaction rate of sex life was 2.76 0.86 in non correct group and 2.88 1.10 in correct group. So there was a difference. 5) In the satisfaction rate of sex life, Men who have a lower back pain were higher than women and no attack group was higher than attack group. As they had many sex life, the satisfaction rate was higher significantly in statistics. As the time of sex life was short, the satisfaction rate was lower significantly in statistics. As the age was low, the demand rate of Health education was high and as means of patient who had a lower back pain was high, the demand rate of Health education was high. As the patient who had a lower back pain had a long married life, the demand rate of Health education was high and as education level was high, the demand rate of Health education was high. It is necessary to provide patients with conservative treatment, educational teaching, and training to prevent further injuries in the future. In general, it is important to educate the public how to prevent back injuries and how to treat themselves in an onset period to prevent further injuries sliding into a chronic state. Sexuality is an integral part of normal and healthy relationships, but patients are unable to enjoy sex because they are riot able to get into a comfortable position due to back pain. Many conditions of the spine can make certain positions uncomfortable. Health educator should make the education program of the discomforts and the sexual pattern for low back pain in workplace and/or hospital. Further study Is needed on how to integrate the educational program on sexuality into the total rehabilitation program.

  • The purpose of this study was to serve as a basis for more efficient dental hygienist human resources utilization and for determining some of the right directions for supplementary education for dental hygienists, by examining how they actually worked and what they thought of job-related things. The subjects in this study were 537 dental hygienists who participated in a seminar by the Korea Dental Hygienist Association. After a survey was conducted, the following findings were given: 1. 50.2% of the dental hygienists investigated completed legally required eight-class education. Those who worked in clinics took less supplementary education classes than the others in the other types of dental institutions. The main reason they didn't receive supplementary education was financial burden and uncooperative employers. 73.2% took supplementary education at the association or its branches. The association was most favored by those in clinical sector as a place that provides supplementary education, followed by its branch and university in the order named. And the dental hygienists in public health sector preferred university most, and the next best favored one was the association and its branch in the order named. Those in clinical sector hoped to acquire clinical information on patient management, implant or aesthetics, and the dental hygienists in public health sector wanted to learn about health administration, public oral health operations and oral health education, which were different from what those in clinical sector wanted. 2. Regarding the period of service, 492% had worked for three years or more. This fact suggested that their service term and average age continued to grow. And they thought they would decide the retirement time on their own. 3. The most common yearly income ranged from 12 million won to 16 million won(40.7%). For-those in clinics, yearly income was 14.36 million won, and that of the dental hygienists who had worked for less than 3 years was 12.90 million won. 4. The Korea Dental Hygienist Association was most required to protect the rights and interests of the members and offer new knowledge and technology. 5. The largest group of them were engaged in patient management, and this type of job also was the most favored one for them to do. The greatest number of the dental hygienists in public health sector were in charge of dental treatment. 6. Concerning their turnover rate, 492% had never changed their occupation. Specifically, 70.0% of the respondents who had worked for less than 3 years had have no experience to do that. The time constraints for self-development and conflicts with other workers were the cause of their turnover. Those in dental hospital and general hospital changed their occupation chiefly due to the lack of time for self-development, and for the dental hygienists in clinics, the conflicts with other workers were the main reason. The above-mentioned findings suggested that the way the dental hygienists looked at things was undergoing change. The service area made a difference to their preference for the type of supplementary education and institution in charge of it, as those in public health and clinical sectors had a different opinion. And the dental hygienists in clinical sector had a different opinion as well, according to service area, about salaries, reason of not taking supplementary education, preferred type of supplementary education, cause of turnover, and type of occupation to which they hoped to change employment. To utilize and supply human resources in a more stabilized manner, job description should be more segmented, standardized and classified clearly, and dental hygienists should be motivated to perform their substantial jobs, including oral disease prevention, oral prophylaxis and oral health education. To make it happen, it seems that dentists are required to have a clear understanding of dental hygienist job and to change the way they look at it.

  • 연구배경 : 대기오염 물질들은 폐나 점막등으로 흡수되어 폐기능 및 건강에 여러 가지 악영향을 미칠 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 이에 저자들은 대기오염에 노출이 심하다고 생각되는 교통경찰과, 비 교통경찰을 비교하여 대기오염이 교통경찰의 폐기능과 혈중 CO-Hb농도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2001년 5월부터 2002년 8월까지 본원외래를 방문한 현직 교통경찰 329명과, 비 교통경찰 130명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 각각의 군에서 폐기능 검사 및 정맥혈을 채취하여 CO-Hb농도를 측정하였으며, 심전도, 소변검사, 일반혈액검사, 생화학검사, 흉부방사선 검사를 시행하고 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 결 과 : $FEV_1(%)$은 교통경찰군과 비 교통경찰군이 각각 $97.1{\pm}0.85%$, $105.7{\pm}1.21%$로, 교통경찰군이 통계적으로 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). FVC(%) 역시 교통경찰군과 비 교통경찰군이 각각 $94.6{\pm}0.67%$, $102.1{\pm}1.09%$로 교통경찰군이 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 혈중 CO-Hb수치(%)는 교통경찰군과 비 교통경찰군이 각각 $2.4{\pm}0.06%$, $1.8{\pm}0.08%$로 교통경찰군이 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 폐기능 및 혈중 CO-Hb농도에 영향을 미칠수 있는 교란변수들(연령, 흡연량)을 보정하여 공분산분석(ANCOVA)을 실시한 결과, 교통경찰군이 비 교통경찰군에 비해 FVC(%), $FEV_1(%)$가 유의한 감소를 보였으며 (각각 p=0.0001, p=0.0005), 혈중 CO-Hb수치는 교통경찰군이 비 교통경찰군에 비해 유의한 증가를 보였다(p=0.0016). 결 론 : 이러한 결과로 교통경찰과 비 교통경찰에서 측정한 폐기능에 유의한 차이를 보이고, CO-Hb농도에도 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것으로 보여, 대기오염이 인체의 폐기능에 영향을 줄 수 있음을 추정할 수 있으나, 이에 관한 직접적인 연관관계를 파악하기 위해서는 전향적 코호트 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

I-PSS를 이용한 증상접수 8이상인 하부 요로증상의 유병률은 40, 50, 60 및 70대에서 각각 20.5, 32.2, 40.6 및 72.0%로 관찰되었으며 증상점수 20 이상의 중증군은 각각 0.82, 5.6, 11.0%로 미국, 일본에 비하여 높게 나타났다. 2. 평균 I-PSS와 연령과의 관계는 연령이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며(r=0.29, p=0.0001), 무학인 군이 전문대 이상인 군에 비하여 I-PSS가 유의하게 높게 관찰되었다(p<0.05). 3. 평균 I-PSS와 배뇨만족도 사이에는 유의한 상관관계(r=0.63, p=0.0001)를 보였으나 I-PSS(평균 8.2)에 비해 상대적으로 불편감이 없는 배뇨만족도(평균 1.9)를 나타내었다. 4. 고혈압군의 평균 I-PSS는 7.85이었으며 정상혈압군의 평균 I-PSS는 8.39이었으나 I-PSS와 혈압과의 관계는 고혈압군과 정상 혈압군 간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05).

  • 연구배경: 결핵 감염률은 결핵 실태를 파악하기 위한 기본 지표임에도 불구하고 1995년 전국실태조사를 마지막으로 실시되지 못하고 2000년 결핵정보감시체계로 대체되었다. 비시지 접종률이 높은 현 상황에서 무반흔자를 대상으로 한 감염률 조사는 실행이 어려우며 비시지 접종자를 대상으로 투베르쿨린 조사에 대한 비시지 영향 분석과 비시지 반흔과 상관없는 결핵 감염률 조사가 필요하다. 방 법: 2006년에 전국 초등학교 1학년생들을 대상으로 각 시도별 아동 수를 추계한 후 학교를 대상으로 단면조사 연구를 하였다. 총 대상자 수는 40개 학교의 5,148명이 비례할당법으로 선정, 조사되었다. 투베르쿨린 검사는 2단위의 PPD RT 23 0.1 ml를 좌측 전박에 피내 주사한 후 48~72시간 후에 가장 긴 횡직경을 측정하였다. 비시지 반흔에 대해서도 각각 조사하였다. 결 과: 비시지 무반흔자는 6.3%였다. 평균 경결 크기는 0 mm 반응자 1,882명(46.8%)를 포함하여 $3.7{\pm}4.4mm$ 였다. 결핵 감염률은 10 mm 이상을 양성 반응으로 했을때 10.9% (439명)였다. 연간결핵감염위험률은 평균 연령을 6세로 하여 1.91%였다. 결핵 감염률은 비시지 반흔유무에 따른 유의한 차이는 없었다[11.2% vs. 7.6% (OR:1.54, 95% CI: 0.98~2.43)]. 16 mm를 정점으로 한 거울영상법으로는 감염률과 연간결핵감염위험률이 각각 2.4%와 0.4%였다. 결 론: 결핵 감염률과 연간결핵감염위험률은 기존 방법으로 할 경우 높은 비시지 접종률로 인해 높게 나타났다. 결핵 감염률이 높지 않은 국가에서는 거울영상법이 두 지표를 추정하는데 보다 더 적합한 것으로 보인다.
