  • This paper adapts the World Bank Regulatory Quality Index (RQI), which is produced annually to provide a better understanding of the effects of regulatory reforms, instead of the Production Market Regulation (PMR) indicators, which are published every five years. We find that 9.9 to 36.0 billion USD worth of regulatory cost could be reduced if the regulatory quality in Korea improves to the level of the OECD average considering that the total burden of regulation in Korea is estimated to range from 2.2 to 357.4 billion USD. The estimated reduction in the regulatory cost accounts for roughly 0.76 to 2.47% of Korea's GDP in 2013, underscoring the importance of regulatory reforms for the Korean economy. This paper introduces a new method with which to examine the distribution of regulatory costs across different industries and firm sizes. This alternative method is largely consistent with the conclusions reached by other studies, specifically that small firms typically bear a disproportionate regulatory burden.

  • This study was designed to identity the degree of burden felt by mothers of children with nephrotic syndrome. Also, relations between the subject characteristics and burden were investigated to provide basis data for their family health and nursing intervention. The study subjects were composed of 70 mothers of nephrotic syndrome patients whose children were hospitalized in 2 Pediatric wards of University Hospital in Seoul and 1 in Pusan from Mar. 2nd, 1998 to May. 30th in the same year The questionnaires were used which dealt with burden of mothers. the questionnaires for this study designed and used by researcher placed their basis in Burden Measurement Instrument developed by Montgomery et. al (1985) and the reliability of the used instrument was .78. The data analysis was done by SPSS, t-test, ANOVA and Stepwise Multiple Regression. The results of were as follows. 1. Mean score of burden of subjects was 60.82(Maximum 86, standard deviation 1.244). 2. Of the mothers characteristics, the score of burden was high in case of no religion and low income. 3. Of the patients characteristics, the score of burden ranked as high in MCNS, doing oral therapy and injection therapy at the same time, and negative perceived patients' condition. 4. The degree of burden felt by mothers of children with nephrotic syndrome was significantly predicted by the level of pt's diagnosis(11%), pt's condition(8%), economic state (6%) and pt's sex (5%), respectively. In conclusion to above study, the researcher suggests that the development of instrument for measurement of burden is in much need. Relations between burden and social support should be studied to lessen burden of mothers of children with nephrotic syndrome.

  • Background: As smoking is the leading preventable cause of multiple diseases and premature cancer deaths, estimating the burden of cancer attributable to smoking has become the standard in documenting the adverse impact of smoking. In Indonesia, there is a dearth of studies assessing the economic costs of cancers related to smoking. This study aimed to estimate indirect mortality costs of premature cancer deaths and years of potential life lost (YPLL) attributable to smoking among the Indonesian population. Materials and Methods: A prevalence based method was employed. Using national data, we estimated smoking-attributable cancer mortality in 2013. Premature mortality costs and YPLL were estimated by calculating number of cancer deaths, life expectancy, annual income, and workforce participation rate. A human capital approach was used to calculate the present value of lifetime earnings (PVLE). A discount rate of 3% was applied. Results: The study estimated that smoking attributable cancer mortality was 74,440 (30.6% of total cancer deaths), comprised of 95% deaths in men and 5% in women. Cancers attributed to smoking wereresponsible for 1,207,845 YPLL. Cancer mortality costs caused by smoking accounted for USD 1,309 million in 2013. Among all cancers, lung cancer is the leading cause of death and economic burden. Conclusions: Cancers related to smoking pose an enormous economic burden in Indonesia. Therefore, tobacco control efforts need to be prioritized in order to prevent more losses to the nation. The data of this study are important for advocating national tobacco control policy.

  • Purpose: This study was to describe the burden of aged parents caring for adult children with disabilities and related factors. Methods: The subjects were 123 caregivers aged over 65 who were caring for 18-year-old or older children with disabilities. The research tool of this study was a structured questionnaire on family burden. Data were collected from June 3 to 25, 2010, and analyzed by Cronbach's alpha, mean, standard deviation, t-test, and ANOVA using SAS 9.2 program. Results: The major findings of this study were as follows. Elderly parents caring for adult children with disabilities perceived a moderate level of burden. The burden from concern over their children's future was highest, and economic and physical burdens were higher when the parents were younger. Burden was significantly different according to parents' characteristics such as gender, perceived health status, disease, the costs of caring for disabled children, and children's characteristics such as disability rating, health status, and ADL. Conclusion: In order to reduce the burden of elderly parents caring for adult children with disabilities, we need to improve their health status and assess comprehensive policies.

  • Purpose: The aims of this study were to identify the effects of caring burden and the way of coping on burnout in caregivers of cancer patients. Methods: One-hundred and forty family caregivers of cancer patients who visited the cancer center at one tertiary hospital in metropolitan city B were included. The data collection was conducted from August 1st to October 1st, 2018, using a structured, self-reported questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. Results: In the multiple regression analysis, the subject's gender (${\beta}=.12$, p=.028) and caring burden (${\beta}=.74$, p<.001) had a significant effect on burnout. The explanatory power of the subject's gender, education level, religion, caring time, number of family caregivers, monthly income, economic burden, expectation for treatment, caring burden, the way of aggressive coping, and the way of passive coping with burnout was 63.8% (F=23.28, p<.001). Conclusion: Reducing the caring burden in family caregivers of cancer patients will ultimately contribute to reducing burnout, thereby contributing to an improvement in the psychological well-being and quality of life of family members, as well as positively contributing to the recovery of patients.

  • 연금계획(年金計劃)은 그 계획의 형태와 관계없이 경제(經濟) 및 인구(人口)와 여러가지 경로로 상호반응(相互反應)한다. 인구(人口)의 연령구조변화(年齡構造變化)는 연금수급권자(年金受給權者)의 수(數)에 영향을 미치고 인구변화(人口變化)는 노동력(勞動力)의 규모(規模)나 연령구성(年齡構成)에 또한 영향을 미쳐서 연금계획(年金計劃)이 국가재정(國家財政) 또는 국민소득규모(國民所得規模)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 인구변수(人口變數)는 따라서 국민연금계획(國民年金計劃)의 경제적(經濟的) 부담(負擔)과 그 부담을 지탱해 주는 경제력(經濟力) 양자에 영향을 미치게 된다. 그동안의 연금(年金)에 관련된 추계(推計)는 경제적(經濟的) 제변수(諸變數)를 외생변수(外生變數)로 가정(假定)하고 연금재정(年金財政)을 시뮬레이션하여 왔는데 연금기금(年金基金)이 소규모(小規模)인 초기단계(初期段階)에서는 무난한 방법(方法)이라고 볼 수 있지만 공적연금제도(公的年金制度)의 규모가 커지고 연금제도가 경제(經濟) 제변수(諸變數)에 영향을 미치는 단계에서는 이러한 상호반응관계(相互反應關係)를 반영(反映)하여야 한다. 본(本) 모형(模型)은 경제를 인구노동부문(人口勞動部門), 일반경제부문(一般經濟部門), 연금부문(年金部門)으로 3등분하여 상호연계시킴으로써 연금부문내(年金部門內)의 변수(變數)들이 일반경제(一般經濟)에 미치는 효과를 측정할 수 있도록 하여 연금재정운영방식(年金財政運營方式), 연금급부(年金給付)의 실질가치(實質價値) 유지방법(維持方法), 저축행태(貯蓄行態), 연금급부율(年金給付率), 인구구조(人口構造)의 변화(變化) 등 연금제도(年金制度)와 관련한 제변수(諸變數)가 국민경제(國民經濟)에 어떤 영향을 미치는가를 분석(分析)하고 있다. 시뮬레이션의 결과 적립방식(積立方式)의 연금제도도입(年金制度導入)은 본격적인 연금급부(年金給付)가 시작되는 시점(時點)까지는 경제성장(經濟成長)을 오히려 돕는 역할을 수행하는 것으로 나타났고, 연금급부지출(年金給付支出)이 총수입(總收入)을 초과하는 시점(時點) 이후부터는 경제(經濟)에 부담을 가중시켜 경제성장률(經濟成長率)을 둔화시키는 것으로 나타났으며 물가지수연동제(物價指數連動制) 대신에 임금지수연동제(賃金指數連動制)를 도입할 경우 연금급부지출(年金給付支出)이 증대되어 연금재정수지(年金財政收支)를 더 악화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 출생률(出生率) 및 사망률(死亡率) 수준도 장기적인 부담(負擔)을 결정하는 요소로 분석되었다.

  • Background: Selective health benefit was introduced for decreasing economic burden of patients. Medical devices with economic uncertainty have been covered as selective health benefit by National Health Insurance since December 2013. We aimed to analyze impact of selective health benefit to medical expenditure and provider behavior focused on electrosurgery (ultrasonic shears, electrothermal bipolar vessel sealers) for gastric cancer patients covered since December 2014. Methods: We used the National Health Insurance claims data of 2,698 patients underwent gastric cancer surgery between August 2014 and March 2015. Medical cost and patient sharing per inpatient day were analyzed to verify that covering electrosurgery increased medical expenditure and changed provider behavior from open surgery to endoscopic or laparoscopic surgery. Additionally, we analyzed the claim rate of medical device or goods relating gastric endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery. Results: Medical cost and patient sharing per inpatient day were increased after covering electosurgery as selective health benefit (39,724/1,421 won). However, there were no medical expenditure increases after adjusting claim of electosurgery and patient sharing was decreased 1,057 won especially. The coverage of selective health benefit did not increase the claim rate of medical device or goods related endoscopic or laparoscopic surgery, either. Conclusion: Covering electosurgery decreased patient economic burden and did not change of provider behavior. Expanding selective health benefit is needed to decrease economic burden of severe patients. Further study should evaluate the long term effect with accumulated data.

  • Background: Cancer imposes a significant economic burden on individuals, families and society. The purpose of this study was to estimate the economic burden of cancer using the healthcare claims and cancer registry data in Korea in 2009. Materials and Methods: The economic burden of cancer was estimated using the prevalence data where patients were identified in the Korean Central Cancer Registry. We estimated the medical, non-medical, morbidity and mortality cost due to lost productivity. Medical costs were calculated using the healthcare claims data obtained from the Korean National Health Insurance (KNHI) Corporation. Non-medical costs included the cost of transportation to visit health providers, costs associated with caregiving for cancer patients, and costs for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Data acquired from the Korean National Statistics Office and Ministry of Labor were used to calculate the life expectancy at the time of death, age- and gender-specific wages on average, adjusted for unemployment and labor force participation rate. Sensitivity analysis was performed to derive the current value of foregone future earnings due to premature death, discounted at 3% and 5%. Results: In 2009, estimated total economic cost of cancer amounted to $17.3 billion at a 3% discount rate. Medical care accounted for 28.3% of total costs, followed by non-medical (17.2%), morbidity (24.2%) and mortality (30.3%) costs. Conclusions: Given that the direct medical cost sharply increased over the last decade, we must strive to construct a sustainable health care system that provides better care while lowering the cost. In addition, a comprehensive cancer survivorship policy aimed at lower caregiving cost and higher rate of return to work has become more important than previously considered.
