The purpose of this study was to develop the framework of community-based home care nursing delivery system, and to demonstrate and evaluate the efficiency of it. The study was carned out over a period of 3years from September 1996 to August 1999. The researchers developed Standards for operations, this was all aimed toward a home care recording system, and an assessment intervention algorithm for various diseases quality control and standardization. In the center, 185 patients enrolled, and of the enrollments cerebrovascular disorder and cancer were the most prevailment diseases. Also, a home care nursing activity classification was developed in six domains. Those domains were assessment, medication, treatment, education and consultation, emotional care, and referral or follow-up care. Ten sub-domains were divided according to the systematic needs. Among these nursing activities, treatment, assessment, and education and consultation were frequently performed. In sub-domain classification, skin integrity, respiration, circulation, and immobility related care were provided most frequently. The cost of home care nursing per visit was also suggested. The cost include direct and indirect nursing care, management, and transportation cost. Also, the researchers tried to overcome the limitations of hospital-based home care to provide more accessible, efficient, safe, and stable home care nursing. Therefore, clients were referred from other patients, families, public health care centers, industries, and even hospitals. As a result of this study, several limitations of operation were found. First, it was difficult to manage and communicate with doctor in the emergency situations. Second, there was too much time spent for transportation. This was because they are only five nurses, who cover all of the areas of Seoul and nearby cities. Third, preparation for special care of home care nurses was lacking. Fourth, criteria for the termination of care and the frequency of home visits were ambiguous. Finally, interconnection with home care machinery company was so yely needed. New paragraphs' strategies for solving these problems were suggested. This study will be the basis of community-based home care nursing, and the computerized information delivery system for home care nursing in Korea.

Objective: The objective of this research was to develop a guideline for more effective use of physical restraint on patients in the intensive care unit and training the nurses on it and applying it on clinical practice to assess its effectiveness. Method: This research analyzed the before and after effect of the development of a guideline for physical restraint by dividing the category into nurse and patient. In the case of nurse, a comparison of knowledge and nursing service regarding the use of physical restraint from before the training on physical restraint guideline(Jan. 2011) and after the training on physical restraint guideline(Dec. 2011) was made. In the case of patient, a comparison of physical restraint usage rate and average usage time, the number of unplanned extubation cases were compared from before the use of physical restraint (Jan.~Apr. 2011) and after the use of physical restraint (Sep.~Dec. 2011) were made. Result: After the training on the physical restraint guideline, the knowledge of the nurse and the nursing practice showed notable improvement by (p<0.000) and (p<0.048) respectively and in patient, physical restraint usage rate and average time of usage decreased by (p<0.001) and (p<0.001) respectively. And despite the decrease in the number of cases in which the physical restraint was used, the number of unplanned extubation cases remained the same. Conclusion: Physical restraint guideline training and guideline usage can be stated to have brought out positive effect in both the nurse and patient. In order to maintain such positive effects, continuous training is necessary and continuous revaluation is necessary, regarding knowledge and nursing practices.

Background: South Korea operates a Medical Aid (MA) program targeting selected low-income individuals to ensure medical service delivery to the disadvantaged while enhancing self-sufficiency of work-capable beneficiaries. However, as reasons behind welfare exits are diverse and do not always infer poverty relief or the provision of appropriate levels of health care services, this study aimed to investigate the association between changes in MA status and health care utilization. Methods: This study used the 2006 to 2015 National Health Insurance claims data. The impact of changes in annual MA status on health care utilization (yearly number of outpatient visits, inpatient visits, length of stay, and emergency department [ED] visits) was investigated using the generalized estimating equation model. Results: In 117,943 adult subjects aged 20 to 64, compared to the 'MA to MA' group, the 'MA to MA exit' group showed general decreases in utilization (outpatient visits: β=-3.93, p<0.0001; hospital admissions: relative risk [RR], 0.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.83-0.91; length of stay: β=-3.64, p<0.0001; ED visits: RR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.77-0.90). Similar patterns were found in the 'MA exit to MA exit' group (outpatient visits: β=-5.72, p<0.0001; admissions: RR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.87-0.94; length of stay: β=-5.87; p<0.0001; ED visits: RR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.75-0.88). Likewise, in 74,747 older adult subjects aged 65 or above, the 'MA to MA exit' group showed reduced levels of utilization (outpatient visits: β=-1.51; p=0.0020), as well as the 'MA exit to MA exit' group (admissions: RR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.89-0.95; length of stay: β, -5.45; p<0.0001; ED visits: RR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.83-0.97). Conclusion: MA exit was associated with general decreases in health care utilization. Utilization patterns of individuals with experiences of receiving MA benefits should be monitored to promote the ideal use of health care services while preventing potential financial barriers present in accessing medical care.

이 연구는 당일수술을 실시하고 있지 않은 병원에서 당일수술이 가능한 질병으로 입원하고 있는 환자를 대상으로 당일수술에 대한 인지도와 선호도를 조사하고, 당일수술 가능 질병의 평균 재원일수를 분석하며, 마취 후 퇴원점수체계를 이용한 시간대별 퇴원 가능한 환자의 비율을 분석하여 당일수술 가능여부를 판단하기 위하여 실시되었다. 자료수집은 1999년 2월 1일부터 동년 3월 31일까지 $\bigcirc\bigcirc$대학교 의과대학 부속병원에 입원하여 백내장, 편도선 비대, 탈장, 사시, 안검하수, 담석증, 질, 치루로 수술 받은 환자 353명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료 수집 방법은 설문지를 이용하여 설문과 면담을 하였고, 간호사용 마취 후 퇴원점수체계(PADS)를 이용하여 환자의 수술 후 활력징후, 활동력과 정신상태, 통증, 오심 구토, 출혈, 식이 및 배뇨 등의 환자상태를 조사하였다. 당일수술에 대한 인지도는 52.7%이었으며, 당일수술 의향이 있는 환자는 52.1%이었다. 당일수술을 받고 싶은 이유로는 "질병이 경미하고 수술이 간단하여"가 43.1%, "집에서 안정을 취해도 충분하므로"가 30.4%이었고, 당일수술을 받고 싶지 않는 이유는 "집에 있기 불안해서"가 56.5%로 가장 높았다. 당일수술 후 가장 염려되는 것은 응급 상황발생에 대한 것이었다. 당일수술의 가장 큰 장점은 입원기간 절약(39.1%)이었으며 단점은 응급상황 시 불안하다는 것이 53.9%로 가장 많았다. 환자의 주관적 판단에 의한 퇴원시기는 수술 후 1-2일이라고 생각하는 사람이 47.6%로 가장 많았다. 수술명에 따른 평균 재원일수는 백내장적출술 2.9일, 사시 교정술 2.2일, 편도선제거술 3일, 탈장교정술 3.8일, 안검복원술 2.2일, 담석증복강경술 4.9일, 치질제거술 4.1일, 치루제거술 4.6일로, 이들 전체의 평균 재원일수는 3.1일이었다. 수술 후 나타난 증상으로는 통증이 45.6%로 가장 많았고, 다음으로 오심 구토(10.5%) 및 두통(7.9%)의 순이었다. 시간대별 퇴원 가능 환자 수는 3시간대에 95.2%, 12시간대에 99.2%, 24시간대에는 100%로 나타나 이 연구에서 선정된 모든 수술이 마취 후 퇴원점수체계에 의한 24시간 이내 퇴원 기준을 충족시켰고, 통상적으로 당일수술 3시간 뒤에 환자가 퇴원하는 것을 고려하면 의학적인 측면에서 당일수술이 가능한 수술은 백내장적출술과 사시교정술로 판단되었다. 당일수술의 경과에 대한 설명과 수술 시행 후에 환자들에게 발생할지도 모르는 응급상황에 대한 대처 방안이 잘 강구 된다면 당일수술의 수요가 증가할 것이며, 그 서비스에 대한 만족도도 높아져 당일수술이 활성화될 것이다.

이 연구는 심폐소생술의 인지, 교육경험, 시행능력 간의 관계를 확인함으로써 인구학적요인, 지역적 요인, 의료 현황, 교육적 경험 등이 심폐소생술 시행능력에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 2014년도 지역사회 건강조사 자료를 활용했다. 이 자료는 대한민국 전체 인구를 대상으로 2014년 7월 기준 시, 군, 구에 거주하는 만 19세 이상의 성인 중, 조사에 참여한 228,712명에서 보건소별로 평균 900명(목표오차 ${\pm}3%$)으로 고려하여 표본을 추출해 실시하였다. 자료분석은 R 통계프로그램 3.1.3.을 사용하여 카이제곱검정, 상관분석, 다중로지스틱회귀분석 등으로 이루어졌다. 심폐소생술의 시행능력은 남성에서(3.34배), 젊은 층에서(1.06배), 교육수준이 높을수록(1.61배), 화이트 칼라 직업일수록(1.14배), 소득수준이 높을수록(1.07배), 급만성질환 및 사고중독의 비경험자일수록(0.91배), 고혈압 비진단자 일수록(1.12배), 당뇨병 비진단자 일수록(1.16배, 이상지질혈증 비진단자 일수록(0.86배), 뇌졸중 비진단자 일수록(1.54배), 주관적 건강이 높을수록(1.08배, 1.16배), 비고령사회일수록(0.90배), 심폐소생술 교육경험이 높을수록(3.25배), 심폐소생술 마네킹 실습경험이 있을수록(4.30배) 유의하게 더 높았다. 분석결과, 개인 및 지역사회 요인과 심폐소생술 인지, 교육경험 등은 심폐소생술 시행능력에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 국내 환경에 적합한 심폐소생술 교육정책 마련에 적극 고려되어야 할 것이며, 이를 통해 병원 전단계 심폐소생술 능력 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
