Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop the adapted standard items of situation, background, assessment, recommendations (SBAR) processing for handover between nursing units in Korean hospitals and evaluate the validity and relevance of the standard items. Methods: A delphi method with 33 experts was used to evaluate content validity of the standard items. Then, 1,175 nurses working in general hospitals of more than 500 beds were recruited to evaluate the validity and relevance of the standard items for clinical implication. Results: Content validity was higher than 0.8. The highest scores for relevance among items in handover standards were state of consciousness in the assessment domain for a ward to a ward transfer ($3.82{\pm}0.40$), for a ward to an ICU ($3.85{\pm}0.38$), an ICU to a ward ($3.81{\pm}0.39$) and an ER to a ward ($3.85{\pm}0.37$). Congenital malformation was the highest relevance score for handover from a delivery room to a neonatal unit ($3.91{\pm}0.30$). Conclusion: This study evaluated validity and relevance of the essential contents for handover standards between units to improve communication quality among nurses. The findings of this study should also be applied in clinical nursing areas and the quality of information and effectiveness of usage of the standard should be evaluated.

The purposes of this study were to identify the living environment in rural fishing area and to suggest checking methods for implementation performance. Rural service standard is the key factor of rural development in Korea. In 2012. The first Implementations of performance was announced. The results were presented to the unit by the City and the County. Because of Fishing villages exists as a unit by the haengjeongri. It is difficult to know the status of the fishing villages by the Rural service standard. In order to look for the actual conditions in rural fishing village it was investigated in the 100 Eochongye. The data used in the analysis is 577 questionnaires. Analysis showed that rural fishing areas were superior to general state of rural in the 8 items of rural service standard. Especially housing, transportation and health care sector in rural fishing area wes better than general state of rural. But Public safety and order is relatively poor. This is because Fishing village contains islands. Presenting to improve rural service standard based on the results of research. The items of rural service standard should be measured the actual residents' accessibility than opportunity of the public service, and after setting the rural service standard clearly related to the quality of life of residents in each sector. Accessibility aspects of the customer for the public services should be considered. Checking the performance for the unit by the City and the County should be replaced as a living zone in order to consider the facilities using nearby.

The purpose of this study is to analyze characteristics of welfare level for the persons with disabilities in Korean local governments. The study adopted multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis. Based on prior studies and comparative importance research, three indicators were extracted from the welfare circumstance index for the disabled. They are the ratio of the registered disabled population, the ratio of the disabled household in poor households, the ratio of dependence on public finance. Also, nine dimensions and twenty seven indicators were extracted from the welfare level index. The dimensions are as follows : Education, income & economic activities support, welfare services infra-structure, health & welfare service support, movement convenience & safety, rights protection, culture, leisure & information accessibility, welfare administration & budget for the disabled. The findings from the welfare circumstance index show that local governments are divided into three groups and all indicators are statistically significant. On the other hand, the findings from the welfare level index, show that local governments are divided into four groups and five indicators are statistically significant. Based on these findings, the study proposes improvement in the disabled welfare level, and balanced development of local governments.

The purpose of this research is to develop bellflower (Platycodon grandiforum) root Jeonggwa as a health food. The Omija (Schizandra chinensis Baillon) water extract with 0-8% (w/w) Jeonggwa added was stored at $25^{\circ}C$ for 12 weeks. The quality characteristics of Jeonggwa during storage were investigated. The Jeonggwa showed a lower pH and a higher acdity as the amount of Omija water extract that was added increased. The moisture content of Jeonggwa were rose from 15-18% to 16-22% within 2 weeks of storage, and remained at that level up to the end of storage. The total viable cells of bellflower root Jeonggwa were 2.1~2.3 log CFU/g and increased in number during storage but never exceeded 4 log CFU/g. The shelf life of the Jeonggwa was extended when the Omija extract was added. The lightness (L), redness (a) and yellowness (b) of the Jeonggwa during its storage at $25^{\circ}C$ were highest in control samples, and the values decreased with the increase in the Omija extract concentration (p<0.001). The mechanical evaluation of the Jeonggwa showed that various tested parameters fell during the storage at $25^{\circ}C$. The hardness and strength of the Jeonggwa significantly decreased as the Omija extract concentration rose (p<0.05). In the ensory evaluation tests, the acceptability of the Jeonggwa was optimal when 4~6% of Omija extract was added to it.

Prestressed concrete (PC) bridges using corrugated steel webbing have emerged as one of the most promising forms of steel-concrete composite bridge. However, their long-term behavior is not well understood, especially in the case of large-span bridges. In order to study the time-dependent performance, a large three-span PC bridge with corrugated steel webbing was compared to a similar conventional PC bridge to examine their respective time-dependent characteristics. In addition, a three-dimensional finite element method with step-by-step time integration that takes into account cantilever construction procedures was used to predict long-term behaviors such as deflection, stress distribution and prestressing loss. These predictions were based upon four well-established empirical creep prediction models. PC bridges with a corrugated steel web were observed to have a better long-term performance relative to conventional PC bridges. In particular, it is noted that the pre-cambering for PC bridges with a corrugated steel web could be smaller than that of conventional PC bridges. The ratio of side-to-mid span has great influence on the long-term deformation of PC bridges with a corrugated steel web, and it is suggested that the design value should be between 0.4 and 0.6. However, the different creep prediction models still showed a weak homogeneity, thus, the further experimental research and the development of health monitoring systems are required to further progress our understanding of the long-term behavior of PC bridges with corrugated steel webbing.

The hospital school is an organization designed to encourage long-term health-impaired students to receive treatment and education at the same time. There are 33 hospital schools in Korea. However, the management of hospital schools varies greatly depending on the amount of resources and support they possess, and especially the lack of manpower and quality improvement of education programs were found to be the biggest problems. This study aims to discuss the case of Hospital School in Yeungnam University Hospital (YUH), which successfully overcame internal resource limitations while solving existing hospital schools through networking and open innovation with external organizations. In particular, through cooperation with students of Herewego, volunteering club in Yeungnam University business school(YUBS), we increased the social interest of hospital school by creating a special program with financial support of Daegu city. They created customized education service programs for hospital schools that reflect their major-business management. The cooperativ e case of YUH's Hospital School and YUBS's Volunteering Club of Herewego showed that the cooperation is not only about volunteering service but also the open innovation, introduced as a platform to expand the company's source of product development. We think that this is a case of value creation through exchange of knowledge. It could have many implications for solving the problem of hospital school.

The purpose of this research is to provide the basic information for the development of dental healthcare system's expertise and spatial composition in diverse dental spaces in Korea according to dental specialist system enforcement. Literature review of dental expertise especially dental specialist system and investigation on current status of spatial composition of dental spaces have been conducted. After the review, the spatial composition with field survey and architectural drawings of selected dental spaces have been analyzed. The result of this study is arranged with three points. First of all, the main clinical dental spaces are the dental school's dental hospital, dental department in medical center/hospital and private dental clinic in Korea. The second one is that dental school's dental hospital had differentiated to 10-11 departments in 1970-1980's and dental department in medical center/hospital has been changing to dental hospital with 5-7 departments in 2010's, and dental clinic is changing to specific dental clinic according to dental specialist system in 2018. The third one is that spatial composition is related with dental expertise at diverse levels. Spatial composition in dental school's dental hospital had been highly differentiated with dental expertise, dental department in medical center/hospital is partially subdivided with dental specialist system, but that of dental clinic is not changed according to dental specialist system. In addition to current spatial composition according to dental expertise, it is necessary to analyze the change of spatial composition with diachronic methods to develop the dental healthcare system.
