현대시대는 환자에 대한 의료제도가 의료서비스 개념으로 변화되고 있다. 이렇게 인간의 권리가 높아지고 환자가 고객이 되는 시대로 변화됨으로써 환자의 권리나 요구도 날로 증가되고 있으며 이를 바탕으로 여러 가지 병원 시스템도 환자의 편의나 요구에 맞춰지고 있는 것이 현실이다. 이로 인해 일반촬영 검사 중 Portable 검사의 Case도 점차 증가하고 있는 추세이다. Portable 검사의 Case가 증가하면서 병실, 중환자실, 수술실, 회복실에서 Portable검사로 인하여 주변 환자들의 원하지 않는 의료 피폭이 발생하기 때문에 법적으로도 이를 규제하고 있다. 실제로 진단용 방사선 발생장치의 안전관리에 관한 규칙 중 방사선 방어시설의 검사기준에서 "수술실, 응급실 또는 중환자실 외의 장소에서 촬영할 경우 반드시 이동형 진료용엑스선 방어칸막이를 갖추어야 한다."고 명시되어 있지만 이는 거의 시행되어지지 않고 있다. 따라서 X-ray Potable 검사를 통해 주변 환자가 받는 피폭선량을 알아보고 피폭선량 감소 방안을 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구는 Mobile Portable 장비에서 Collimator 주변을 차폐하여 차폐 전과 후의 선량 변화, Portable tube와 Collimator의 각도 변화에 따른 차폐 전과 후의 선량 변화, 환자 침대의 거리변화에 따른 차폐 전과 후의 선량 변화를 각각 측정한 뒤 차폐효과를 알아보았다. 연구 결과 Collimator 주변을 차폐한 후 선량 변화는 차폐하지 않았을 때보다 약 20%의 차폐효과를 보였다. Portable 검사 중 비 차폐 시 각도가 $0^{\circ}C$, $90^{\circ}C$, $45^{\circ}C$ 순서로 피폭선량이 증가하였으며, 각도를 주었을 때 Collimator 주변을 차폐하면 피폭 선량은 감소하였다. 또한 환자 침대 거리는 비 차폐 시 0.5m보다 1m에서 피폭선량이 현저히 감소하였고 침대 간 거리 변화 시 Collimator 주변 차폐 후 선량 변화는 감소하였다. 주변 환자 피폭선량 감소 측면에서 볼 때 침대거리를 가능한 멀리 떨어뜨리는 것이 가장 좋은 방법이며 차폐효과가 약 100% 내외로 상당한 효과를 볼 수 있다. 그 다음은 Collimator를 차폐하는 방법으로 차폐효과가 약 20% 정도를 나타내며, 각도를 제한하는 방법으로 약 10% 내외의 효과를 나타낸다. Portable 검사 시 환자 피폭선량을 감소하기 위해 가능한 환자 및 보호자를 적정거리 이상으로 이동시킨 후에 실시하는 것이 가장 좋겠지만 환자가 움직일 수 없고 침대가 고정되어 있는 상태에서는 Collimator 주변을 차폐하는 방안을 제안한다. 또한 검사를 시행할 때 tube와 Collimator의 각도를 가능한 90도로 시행하도록 하고 90도가 안될 경우는 0도로 시행하되 45도는 가능한 지양하도록 한다. 방사선관계종사자들은 Portable 검사에서 위와 같은 결과들을 인식하고 실제 본인에게 적용시켜야 하며 효율적인 방사선 방어와 피폭선량을 감소시킬 수 있는 방안에 대한 노력과 연구에 힘써야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to offer the results of content analysis and qualitative study that explored the perceptions about quality nursing care of patients and families as consumers and to identify the implications of this study for quality nursing care management and research. The data was collected from 12 adult patients and 9 families who were admmitted at medical and surgical nursing unit of one university hospital in Seoul from October, 1996 to January, 1997. Research participants were asked to response "what do you think quality nursing care?" and similar questions during the interviews was performed. Data were analyzed using open coding and content analysis with frequencies and percents of attributes of quality nursing care. Attributes of quality nursing care and meaning of quality nursing care that patients and families perceived were explored. 1. The attributes of quality nursing care that patient and families perceived were categorized into 56 attributes. The highest response rate among the attributes was 'one's heart at ease' (76.2%), and the next high response rates were ranked in order 'consideration' , 'care about' (each 61.9% 'expert skill' (57.1%), 'deal with problem promptly' , 'information offer' (42.9%), 'intimate feeling' (38.1%), 'smile' 'service spirit' , 'do one's best' (each 33.3%), 'frequent visit' (23.8%), 'observe the time' (23.8%), 'direct nursing care' , 'speaking warmly' , give a hope' , 'address kindly' , 'a sense of duty' , 'good facilities' (each 19.0%), 'inquire after a patient health' , 'patient-centered nursing care' , 'showing an example' , 'professional knowledge' , 'careless moraly patient' , 'give encourage to patients' , 'good answer a question' (each 14.3%), 'do not imprudently' , 'do not disregard' , 'broad knowledge' , 'emergency treatment skill' , 'dependability' ,'consolation' giving a sense of security' , 'a self sacrificing spirit' , 'a sense of responsibility' 'hard - working', 'enough disposition of nursing staff (each 9.5%), 'improve patient's pride' and the rest attributes exhibited 4.7%, respectively. 2. The attributes that were identified in patients' data only were 8 categories, 'service sprit' (58.3 %) 'expert knowledge' , 'good answer a question' (each 25.0%), 'hard working' (16.7%), 'a warm character', 'professional attainments', 'do without reserve', 'satisfaction' (each 8.3%), 3. The attributes were identified to families' data only were 31 categories, 'speaking warmly' , 'direct nursing care', 'adress kindly', 'patientcentered nursing care', 'showing an example' (each 33.3%). 'do not imprudently' , 'do not disregard' , 'consolation', 'giving a sense of security', 'broad knowledge' , 'emergency treatment skill', 'dependability' ,'a self - sacrificing spirit', 'a sense of responsibility' (each 22.2%), 'improve patient's pride' , 'without discrimination' , 'show kindness' , 'individual nursing care', 'being with patient' , 'helping' , 'accuracy' , 'without any mistake' , 'love' , 'self - confidence', 'self possession', 'a self - denying spirit' , 'a sense of duty' , 'tighten discipline' , 'disposed room with similar patient to diagnosis', 'compensatory relationship between me dical team' , 'role of connection' (each 11.1 %). 4.

The purpose of this study was to develop a basic framework and criteria for evaluation of quality care provided to patients with the attributes of disease in the home care nursing field, and to provide measurement tools for home health care in the future. The study design was a developmental study for evaluation of hospital-based HCN(home care nursing) in Korea. The study process was as follows: a home care nursing study team of College of Nursing. Yonsei University reviewed the nursing records of 47 patients who were enrolled at Yonsei University Medical Center Home Care Center in March, 1995. Twenty-five patients were insured at that time, were selected from 47 patients receiving home care service for study feasibility with six disease groups; Caesarean Section (C/S), simple nephrectomy, Liver cirrhosis(LC), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD), Lung cancer or cerebrovascular accident(CVA). In this study, the following items were selected : First step : Preliminary study 1. Criteria and items were selected on the basis of related literature on each disease area. 2. Items were identified by home care nurses. 3. A physician in charge reviewed the criteria and content of selected items. 4. Items were revised through preliminary study offered to both HCN patients and discharged patients from the home care center. Second step : Pretest 1. To verify the content of the items, a pretest was conducted with 18 patients of which there were three patients in each of the six selected disease groups. Third step : Test of reliability and validity of tools 1. Using the collected data from 25 patients with either cis, Simple nephrectomy, LC, COPD, Lung cancer, or CVA. the final items were revised through a panel discussion among experts in medical care who were researchers, doctors, or nurses. 2. Reliability and validity of the completed tool were verified with both inpatients and HCN patients in each of field for researches. The study results are as follows: 1. Standard for discharge with HCN referral The referral standard for home care, which included criteria for discharge with HCN referral and criteria leaving the hospital were established. These were developed through content analysis from the results of an open-ended questionnaire to related doctors concerning characteristic for discharge with HCN referral for each of the disease groups. The final criteria was decided by discussion among the researchers. 2. Instrument for measurement of health statusPatient health status was measured pre and post home care by direct observation and interview with an open-ended questionnaire which consisted of 61 items based on Gorden's nursing diagnosis classification. These included seven items on health knowledge and health management, eight items on nutrition and metabolism, three items on elimination, five items on activity and exercise, seven items on perception and cognition, three items on sleep and rest, three items on self-perception, three items on role and interpersonal relations, five items on sexuality and reproduction, five items on coping and stress, four items on value and religion, three items on family. and three items on facilities and environment. 3. Instrument for measurement of self-care The instrument for self-care measurement was classified with scales according to the attributes of the disease. Each scale measured understanding level and practice level by a Yes or No scale. Understanding level was measured by interview but practice level was measured by both observation and interview. Items for self-care measurement included 14 for patients with a CVA, five for women who had a cis, ten for patients with lung cancer, 12 for patients with COPD, five for patients with a simple nephrectomy, and 11 for patients with LC. 4. Record for follow-up management This included (1) OPD visit sheet, (2) ER visit form, (3) complications problem form, (4) readmission sheet. and (5) visit note for others medical centers which included visit date, reason for visit, patient name, caregivers, sex, age, time and cost required for visit, and traffic expenses, that is, there were open-end items that investigated OPD visits, emergency room visits, the problem and solution of complications, readmissions and visits to other medical institution to measure health problems and expenditures during the follow up period. 5. Instrument to measure patients satisfaction The satisfaction measurement instrument by Reisseer(1975) was referred to for the development of a tool to measure patient home care satisfaction. The instrument was an open-ended questionnaire which consisted of 11 domains; treatment, nursing care, information, time consumption, accessibility, rapidity, treatment skill, service relevance, attitude, satisfaction factors, dissatisfaction factors, overall satisfaction about nursing care, and others. In conclusion, Five evaluation instruments were developed for home care nursing. These were (1)standard for discharge with HCN referral. (2)instrument for measurement of health status, (3)instrument for measurement of self-care. (4)record for follow-up management, and (5)instrument to measure patient satisfaction. Also, the five instruments can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the service to assure quality. Further research is needed to increase the reliability and validity of instrument through a community-based HCN evaluation.
