Purpose: Lactose intolerance (LI) is perceived to be frequent in Asia and has been reported to have considerable impact on dietary intake, nutritional status and the quality of life. We aimed to gather information from healthcare professionals on the perceived incidence, diagnosis and management of LI in 1 to 5 year old children in Southeast Asia. Methods: An anonymous electronic survey was sent randomly among healthcare professionals registered in the database of the pediatric societies in Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore between June and October 2016. Results: In total, 259 health care professionals responded of which 45.5% (n=118) were from Thailand, 37.4% (n=97) from Indonesia and 16.9% (n=44) from Singapore. Of the participants who responded (n=248), primary LI prevalence among children 1 to 3 years of age was estimated to be less than 5% by 56.8%. However, about 18.9% (n=47) answered they did not know/unsure. Regarding secondary LI, 61.6% of respondents (n=153) estimated the prevalence to be less than 15%. But again, 10.8% (n=27) answered they did not know or unsure. Rotavirus gastroenteritis was ranked as the top cause for secondary LI. There was considerable heterogeneity in the diagnostic methods used. The majority of respondents (75%) recommended lactose-free milk to manage primary and secondary LI. Conclusion: More education/training of pediatricians on this topic and further epidemiological studies using a more systematic approach are required.

본 연구는 아동의 발열 및 발열관리에 대해 부모들에게 정보를 제공하는 인터넷 사이트의 질을 평가하기 위한 연구이다. 아동의 발열과 발열관리에 대한 국내 사이트 총 48개를 분석에 포함하였다. 인터넷 사이트의 최신성, 개발자, 자료의 원출처, 목적성 및 정확성을 평가하였다. 정보의 정확성은 아동의 발열관리 지침과 최신의 근거를 사용하여 검토하였다. 정보의 내용은 전반적으로 미비했고 최신의 근거를 반영하지 못하고 있었다. 본 연구의 결과 국내 인터넷 사이트의 발열관리 정보의 정확성과 일관성은 매우 취약하여 부모들이 정보의 근원으로 인터넷 사이트를 활용할 때 주의를 기울여야 함을 알 수 있었다. 건강관리자들은 발열관리 인터넷 사이트 정보의 현황을 인식하고 임상실무와 부모 교육 시 정확하고 일관성 있는 정보를 활용하기 위해 노력을 하여야 할 것이며, 아동 발열관리에 대한 인터넷 사이트 정보의 질을 향상시킬 필요성이 있다.

Purpose: The updated ROME IV criteria for functional constipation (FC) in children were published in 2016. However, information on the use of these criteria is scarce. This study aimed to report the frequency of the use of the ROME IV criteria by Indonesian pediatricians and general practitioners (GPs) in FC management in infants and toddlers. Methods: An anonymous cross-sectional online survey was conducted between November 2021 and March 2022. Results: A total of 248 respondents (183 pediatricians and 65 GPs) from 24 Indonesian provinces completed the survey. Most respondents reported an estimated prevalence of FC to be less than 5% both in infants and toddlers. On average, only 64.6% of respondents frequently used the ROME IV criteria. Pediatricians used the ROME IV criteria more often than GPs did (p<0.001). The most frequently used criteria were painful or hard bowel movements (75.0%) and ≤2 defecations/week (71.4%). Lactulose as a laxative was the preferred treatment choice, followed by changing the standard formula to a specific nutritional formula. Most of the respondents carried out parenteral reassurance and education. Normal growth, as a marker of good digestion and absorption function, and normal stool consistency and frequency were the most reported indicators of gut health. Conclusion: The ROME IV criteria for functional constipation are not extensively used by pediatricians and GPs in Indonesia. Laxatives and specific nutritional formulas were the most used management approaches in infants and toddlers. Medical education, especially for general practitioners, should be updated.

본 연구는 모바일 개인건강기록(Personal health record: PHR) 어플리케이션의 장단점을 분석하고 그 어플리케이션의 사용이 소비자 건강정보행태에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위해 총 27명의 대학생들이 3개월 동안 PHR 어플리케이션을 사용하였으며, 그 경험을 바탕으로 서면인터뷰를 실시하였다. 내용분석 결과, 시각적 인터페이스를 통한 예방 차원의 건강관리 및 건강 향상을 위한 동기부여와 구체적 가이드라인의 제공, 가족과의 데이터 공유 및 간병인(caregiver)의 환자 건강관리지원, 무엇보다도 환자와 의료전문가와의 상호작용 강화 등이 PHR의 혜택으로 부각되었다. 반면 근력운동과 같은 콘텐츠의 미비 내지는 타 기기와의 호환성 미흡 등이 문제점으로 지적되었다. PHR의 도움으로 건강을 향상시키고자 하는 소비자들은 감정적 지원을 받는가 하면, 수면장애극복, 금주, 금연, 그리고 체중감량 및 식습관의 변화 등 건강행태를 변화시키고자 하는 동기부여가 생겼으며, 실제로 건강행태의 변화를 성취함으로써 자기효능이 증가하기도 하였다. 본 연구는 국내 연구에서는 도입단계인 PHR에 대한 연구를 시도했다는 것에 학문적 의의가 있으며, 헬스케어분야의 패러다임 변화에 대응하기 위한 건강 및 의료정보서비스를 모색하는데 통찰력 있는 시사점을 제공한다.

In order to provide appropriate decision supports in medical domain, it is required that clinical knowledge should be implemented in a computable form and integrated with hospital information systems. Healthcare organizations are increasingly adopting tools that provide decision support functions to improve patient outcomes and reduce medical errors. This paper proposes a process centric clinical decision support system based on medical knowledge. The proposed system consists of three major parts - CPG (Clinical Practice Guideline) repository, service pool, and decision support module. The decision support module interprets knowledge base generated by the CPG and service part and then generates a personalized and patient centered clinical process satisfying specific requirements of an individual patient during the entire treatment in hospitals. The proposed system helps health professionals to select appropriate clinical procedures according to the circumstances of each patient resulting in improving the quality of care and reducing medical errors.

Background: Due to the asymmetry of information and knowledge and the power of bureaucrats and medical professionals, it is not easy for citizens to participate in health care policy making. This study analyzes the case of the insured organization participating in the Health Insurance Policy Committee (HIPC) and provides a basis for discussing methods and conditions for better public participation. Methods: Qualitative analysis was conducted using the in-depth interviews with the participants and document data such as materials for HIPC meetings. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with purposively sampled six participants from organizations representing the insured in HIPC. The meanings related to the factors affecting participation were found and categorized into major categories. Results: The main factors affecting participating in the decision making process were trust and cooperation among the participants, structure and procedure of governance, representation and expertise of participants, and contents of issues. Due to limited cooperation, participants lacked influence in important decisions. There was an imbalance in power due to unreasonable procedures and criteria for governance. As the materials for meetings were provided inappropriate manner, it was difficult for participants to understand the contents and comments on the meeting. Due to weak accountability structure, opinions from external stakeholders have not been well received. The participation was made depending on the expertise of individual members. The degree of influence was different depending on the contents of the issues. Conclusion: In order to meet the values of democracy and realize the participation that the insured can demonstrate influence, it is necessary to have a fair and reasonable procedure and a sufficient learning environment. More deliberative structure which reflects citizen's public perspective is required, rather than current negotiating structure of HIPC.
