The purpose of this study was to examine how environmental education teachers think about environmental teaching materials of their use in primary and secondary schools. For this purpose, six primary and secondary school teachers were selected for focus group discussion on October 17th, 2005. The discussion of focus group was recorded both on video and audio tapes. Teachers' discussion could be analyzed in the perspectives of two big ideas, 'content selection' and 'content organization and presentation'. The big ideas were categorized into several areas: 1) The idea of 'content selection' was classified into 4 areas such as integration, difficulty level, locality, and timeliness, 2) The idea of 'content organization and presentation' was classified into 4 areas such as learning motivation, teaching and teaming strategy, evaluation method, application of teaching materials. This study provided meaningful ideas, which can be used in developing environmental education materials as well as effective teaching and teaming strategies for school environmental educators.

Purpose: Purposes of this study were to identify non-value-added nursing activities (NVANAs) and to estimate the amount of time spent on NVANAs among total nursing activities. Methods: Non-value-added nursing activities were identified though the use of a focus group. The nurses in the focus group were nurses working in a tertiary hospital. They discussed possible activities that could be NVANAs. Based on the focus group discussion, a pilot study was done to examine the actual occurrence of NVANAs in clinical settings. Results: The focus group discussion showed that NVANAs occurred in ten categories of nursing performances including communication with physicians, communication with other departments, medications, equipment/supplies, nursing records, tests, admission, discharge, and transfer. Direct nursing activities accounted for 35.5% of total nursing activities while indirect nursing activities accounted for 64.5%. Of indirect nursing activities, 16% were NVANAs. Most NVANAs were related to communication and equipment/supplies. Conclusions: To improve the quality and efficiency of nursing activities, it is necessary to identify NVANAs and their causes. Results of this study suggest that improvement in the work process and nursing unit structure, support for equipment/supplies, and effective communication are needed to reduce NVANAs in tertiary hospitals in Korea.

Purpose: To examine the degree of recognition regarding the concept of patient safety, as perceived by the patient, using a focus group discussion. Methods: A focus group discussion was conducted with a patient group comprising seven patients. Results: When the participants heard the term "patient safety" they seemed to understand it to be related to the hospital environment or satisfaction with the overall hospitalization experience. The participants emphasized communication between the medical staff and the patients in relation to the explanation of treatments, as well as the provision of information regarding prevention, experience, and the treatment of incidents with patient safety. They agreed on the need for indicators reported by patients. However, they emphasized that additional items and a questionnaire method that considers the patients' point of view are needed. Conclusion: It is necessary to establish and implement various strategies that can raise the awareness of patient safety using patient safety indicators and increase participation in patient safety activities.

본 연구는 과학 논변 활동을 생산적으로 프레이밍하는 초임 과학교사의 반응적 교수 실행의 특징과 한계에 대해 프레이밍 관점에서 분석했다. 논변 수업을 해본 적이 없는 초임 교사와 2개 학급 총 52명의 중학생이 연구에 참여하였고, 자극과 반응 단원에서 논변 활동을 도입하였다. 학생들은 귀의 구조와 기능을 학습한 뒤, 고막이 찢어지면 들을 수 없을까에 대한 개인의 논변을 구성하고 논의를 통해 소집단 논변을 구성하는 활동에 참여하였다. 교사의 반응적 교수 실행이 활발한 집단 중에서 소집단 구성원의 특징이 유사하였으나 논변 활동의 양상이 달랐던 두 소집단을 초점 집단으로 선정하였다. 학생들의 소집단 논의 과정과 교사 면담, 학생 면담, 학생 추가 면담은 녹화·녹음 되었다. 이를 전사하여 인식론적 프레이밍과 위치 짓기 프레이밍의 관점에서 반응적 교수 실행의 특징과 한계에 대하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 교사는 논변 활동에서 촉진자로서 학생들의 아이디어를 공유시킨 후, 서로 다른 의견을 합의해야 한다고 프레이밍하고 있었다. 이는 반응적 교수 실행에서 일치하게 나타났다. 교사는 소집단 과학 논변 활동에서 촉진자로서 학생 사고를 이끌어내고 탐색함으로써 학생 의견을 더욱 명료하게 제시하도록 논의를 아이디어 공유 논의로 프레이밍한 후, 서로 다른 의견의 불일치를 부각시키며 논의를 논쟁적 논의로 전환시키고자 노력하였다. 하지만 교사의 생산적인 프레이밍이 학생들의 생산적인 실행을 보장하지는 않았다. 초임교사는 학습자에 대한 이해가 부족하여 학생들의 추론을 정교화시킬 때 개념을 활성화시켜주는 데에 한계를 보였으며, 학생들의 인식론적 프레이밍에 주목하지 못했다는 한계를 보였다. 본 연구는 과학 수업에서 학생에게 반응적인 교수를 실행하는 문화를 정착시키는 데에 기여할 것이다.

Objectives: This study was aimed to present the experts' opinions for the successful application of Korean traditional medical practices (KTMPs) to the International Classification of Health Intervention (ICHI). Methods: Two doctors of Korean Medicine and two health information managers who had tried coding 131 KTMPs using ICHI participated in the focus group discussion. The remarks from the discussion were summarized according to the thematic analysis method. Results: The participants expected ICHI to be mainly used for statistics when applied to TKMPs. It can be used for payment systems as well, but it was expected that additional work would be required. They thought the current version of the ICHI did not sufficiently reflect the KMTPs of the real world, and even the interventions already included in the ICHI were not explained enough in the system. They thought it would not be easy to explain more KTMPs within the current structure of the ICHI, but they also said it seemed possible. In the process, rather than adding entirely new stem codes, it would be better to generate new combinations of the existing codes, to suppose subdivided codes, and to utilize the include terms or extension codes. Conclusions: For the successful introduction of ICHI, clarifying the definition of each intervention of KTMPs is a top priority. In addition, it is necessary to continue the matching work of ICHI - KMPTs and also required to make this effort together with the field of traditional medicine and complementary medicine worldwide.

Purpose:This study aims to understand and explore the subjective experiences of patient safety education among health care professionals in developing a patient safety curriculum in South Korea. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted through two focus group interviews in the period October-December 2018. Eleven participants who underwent patient safety education participated in each session. All interviews were recorded and transcribed as spoken, and qualitative content analysis was used to identify categories of discussion depicting participants' subjective experience with patient safety education. Results: A total of three categories and seven themes were identified out of 77 units of analysis. Topics were identified in the dimensions of a patient safety curriculum, as follows: (1) activities for patient safety; (2) principle of patient safety (five rights, ethics, patient participation) and patient participation; (3) leadership, teamwork, and communication; and (4) reporting and learning system for patient safety events. In the dimension of methods, (5) case and evidence-based education and (6) multidisciplinary and small group teaching were identified. Finally, in the dimension of the system, (7) policies for patient safety education were identified. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that patient safety education is a significant area for health care professionals. Health care professionals suggested that a systematic patient safety curriculum would improve their knowledge and attitude toward patient safety. Moreover, it enables them to better construct a safety environment in a hospital.
