The medical insurance system has been adopted in 1989. Since then, the utilization of medical care services has increased rapidly. It appears that the medical institution needs more nursing manpower such as nurses and nurse aides to meet an increased demand for medical care for the residents. However, the medical care clinics run by a medical practitioners has a more shortage of nursing manpower than hospitals. The purpose of this survey was to analyze the current employment status and to obtain an opinion on the improvement of utilization such as recruitment and retention of nursing manpower. The questionnaire sent to the private physician and the response rate was 28.7% ; 87 out of 300 physicians. 82.6% of the respondents employed nurses aides rather than nurses and an average number of employees per clinic was 2.5 persons. Most physicians had difficulties in recruiting nursing manpower. It took more than one month for replacement on average, therefore, they were suffering from giving good continual care for the patient and also high resignation of nursing personnel. The low wage, long working hours, hard work and lack of incentives are the biggest reasons for the difficulty in recruiting and retaining of the nursing personnel obtained for the clinics survey. The above mentioned problems would be solved in the near future by changing those difficulties. In the meantime, the private physicians are marking an effort to retain the nursing personnel by keeping a relationship of the private physician's cooperatives.

Despite of increasing importance of management in healthcare administration and demand for the professional managers in hospitals, there have been few studies on the issues of competencies and qualifications of mid-managers for effective role performance. This article uses hospital mid-managers' judgements to discuss them in Korean hospital settings. Based on 67 questionnaires completed through the mail survey, the data were analyzed by chi-square test, t-test, ANOVA, and logistic regression. The result shows that knowledge of management skills in healthcare field is the most necessary area in general. Specifically, 'problem-solving ability' is the most important competency, followed by communication and planning capabilities. The mid-managers tend to consider the hospital employment history more important than the academic level. They also present the willingness to recruit the candidates with bachelor degrees rather than those with master or Ph.D. degrees. It is suggested that the candidate with bachelor degree and hospital employment over 6 to 10 years is the most qualified for a mid-manager in hospitals. The study results presented in the paper will provide the direction to improve the educational program and also the insights toward a advising strategy for job consultation for students majored in health service administration.

This study was performed to weigh the average meal portion sizes served for preschoolers by kindergarten teacher. The subjects were 53 teachers from 8 kindergartens, which are random sampled by meal service number. Using the weighing method assessed the meal portion sizes of food items at lunch. The data was complied by performing $\chi^2-test$ using SPSS WIN 11.0. The result was as followed: 98.0% of teacher agreed with the meal service because of 'better food habit and table etiquette'(68.0%), 'health promotion with balanced diet'(22.0%), 'owing to extending school time'(6.0%) and 'demand of parents'(2.0%). Preschooler eat lunch at class (84.9%) and meal serving size was decided by teacher (79.2%). Teachers thought that they know very well about portion size 3.8%, 96.2% of teacher thought that they don't know much about portion size. Portion size were not significantly different by food tray types but there was much different (almost 100%) compared with minimum and maximum within dishes. Most average portion size was not met dietary reference intake except cooked rice, soups and fish cutlet. Working experience effected on portion size. More served, more working experienced of teacher. For example Bulgogi was served 26.8 g by teacher who has over 6 years working experience compared with 2-6 years (20.4 g) and less than 2 years (17.1 g) (p < 0.01). Spinach portion size was significantly different by teacher's working experience (p < 0.01). Portion size were not significantly different by preschooler's age. The reference of dietary for preschooler was different by age, but teachers served meal by their experience. According to the results of this study, it is necessary to educate meal portion size for kindergarten teacher who take charge in meal serving. To provide guidance to teacher about reasonable portion sizes for preschoolers, teacher need to take nutrition education about meal service and child nutrition in college.

본 연구는 소비자 보건정보서비스의 이론적 배경과 국내외의 이에 대한 현황을 문헌적으로 고찰하고 국내 병원도서관과 공공도서관에서의 소비자 보건정보서비스 제공실태를 알아보고 이에 따른 소비자의 보건정보요구에 대한 도서관의 역할을 제고하여, 그 요구에 대응하도록 도서관 봉사를 활성화하기 위한 방안을 제시하였다. 이에 다음과 같이 소비자보건정보서비스를 활성화하기 위한 방안을 제시하였다. 첫째, 현재 병원도서관과 공공도서관 사서들은 소비자 보건정보서비스가 필요하다고 인식을 하고 있으며, 소비자 보건정보서비스를 실시하게 될 경우에는 소비자의 예방적인 보건의료와 환자의 알 권리 존중이라는 영역까지 도서관의 기능화대를 가져다 줄 수 있을 것이다. 둘째, 병원도서관내에 환자도서관 설치를 하여 적극적으로 소비자 보건정보서비스를 실시해 나가야하며 병원도서관이 환자 및 가족을 위한 의학정보를 제공하기 위해서는 이를 위한 소비자용 보건정보자료의 적극적인 수집과 이에 대한 서지류도 같이 개발해야 할 것이다. 공공도서관도 적극적으로 보건정보자료를 수집하고 유지관리하며 참고실에 별도의 장서를 구축해야 한다 셋째, MEDLIS(Medical Library Information System)의 subsystem으로 미국의 CHIN이나 CHIPS와 같은 협력망을 구축하고 소비자용 보건정보자료의 종합목록데이터베이스 제작과 상호대차시스템, 참고봉사 시스템의 구축으로 병원도서관과 공공도서관의 협력망을 구성한다.

보건의료환경 변화에 따른 환자들의 의료수요에 부응하고 합리적인 경영대책을 마련하여 환자들에게 양질의 치과의료서비스를 제공하고 진료환경을 개선시킬 목적으로 계속구강건강관리 환자 149명을 대상으로 치과의료서비스를 제공 받은 후의 진료 만족도와 진료만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하였다. SPSS Ver 13.0을 이용하여 일반적 특성에 따른 치과의료서비스 만족도, 치과의료서비스의 질에 대한 만족도는 평균분석을 하였고, 일반적 특성 및 치과의료서비스 만족도가 치과진료 만족도에 미치는 영향은 회귀분석을 하였다. 다중회귀분석에서 치과진료 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 직원요인, 외부환경요인, 진료절차였다. 치과의료 서비스의 질을 향상시키고 환자의 만족도를 높이기 위해서는 직원들의 체계적인 관리 및 교육이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Purpose: This study sought to investigate the perceptions and service needs of tele-physical therapy among people in their 50s and older in Korea. Methods: Subjects were inducted during a 14-day survey of 104 people over the age of 50 in Korea and were administered a questionnaire consisting of 14 questions about their general characteristics and another 14 questions about tele-physical therapy. Results: The general characteristics of the participants (participants' gender, whether they were single or married, number of cohabiting families, final education, major, job, physical therapy experience, tele-physical therapy experience, presence of a physical therapy worker among relatives, subjective health awareness, chronic disease conditions if any, frequency of drinking, and smoking) were investigated. Among the perceptions of the subjects about tele-physical therapy, the score of 'awareness' was the lowest, and that of 'resolving restrictions on hospital visits' was the highest. In an analysis of the correlation between perceptions and needs, there was a significant correlation with factors other than 'awareness' and 'information protection' factors. The regression analysis of necessity and factors revealed that the awareness of necessity increased as the intention to use, health improvement, and time efficiency improved. Conclusion: These findings presented the perception and necessity of tele-physical therapy for adults in their 50s or older in Korea. These results will help confirm the demand for tele-physical therapy in this age group in Korea and the need to improve the available physical therapy services.
