Purpose: This study aimed to identify the workload of home healthcare nurses and their job satisfaction. Methods: The research was conducted on 87 home healthcare nurses in nationwide medical institutions. Results: Number of visits was correlated with direct nursing hours. The monthly average number of visits was 108.84 ; the average number of patients was 45.66; the average daily working hours were $8.95{\pm}0.95$, of which $5.43{\pm}1.06 $ were indirect nursing hours, and $3.57{\pm}1.05$ were direct nursing hours. The average nursing time by severity condition was 22.25 minutes for group 1 patients, 28.04 minutes for group 2, 34.97 minutes for group 3, and 42.88 minutes for group 4. Of possible scores out of 5 for the job satisfaction of home healthcare nurses, their satisfaction was low for their welfare ($2.68{\pm}1.12$), workload ($2.90{\pm}0.88$), and enough time to work ($2.98{\pm}0.90$). Conclusion: The severity of patient's conditions influenced the workload of home healthcare nurses. Although workload did not correlate significantly with job satisfaction, it is necessary to devise a measure for manpower so that home healthcare nurses can secure sufficient nursing hours when they visit clients.

The O2O services in the healthcare sector have only been in full swing for about three years, and unlike existing O2O consumer goods, the scale and scope of the dispute are more complicated due to restrictions on medical treatment. In this study, O2O service platform operators and medical institutions' roles and responsibilities were redefined as a countermeasure for resolving disputes in healthcare O2O services and the laws for changing the transaction environment. A change in institutional mechanisms was proposed. This study looked at the types of consumer disputes related to healthcare O2O services as insufficient information problems, problems in the course of medical service implementation, problems with immunity provisions for platform operators, cancellations, and non-compliance with refunds. All the information generated during transactions in the healthcare sector was extensive in scale and included the most sensitive information among personal information, stressing the importance of ensuring security. The area that started in the O2O range before the medical institution visit also proposed a plan to establish a system for the delivery of proven information as a pre-medical person. The scale and growth will grow faster, given that consumers can experience the information they want anytime, anywhere they want. However, the platform broker's role, a link player, will become more important because consumers who use the service will have their first meeting with non-face-to-face product providers. On the other hand, service providers may have side effects of misleading consumers by providing false information or misleading consumers through exaggerated advertisements. The O2O service market is expected to expand beyond distribution and dining out to the entire industry. However, since it is challenging to check accurate statistics on the detailed market, various disputes and consumer protection measures will be required for each detailed market, and comprehensive leading solutions will be essential in the future.

It is natural that the medical advertisement should be guaranteed as part of the basic commercial activities of medical institutions. However, the general public are non-specialist and they have less informed about medical care than medical specialists, and it is not easy to judge and select medical information. Also, if someone damaged by illegal medical advertising, it cannot be recovered to the original. In this regard, medical advertising has been legislated so that medical organizations can pre - screen the medical laws. However, In December 2015, after the Constitutional Court ruled unconstitutional preliminary censorship, it became virtually impossible to pre-screen. In recent years, illegal medical advertisement have been on the rise, and false and exaggerated medical advertising are increasing the damage to medical consumers. Therefore it is urgent to take countermeasures about this. Thus, this paper try to analyzes the characteristics of general commercial and other medical advertisements and looks for alternatives that can minimize the damage caused by illegal medical advertisements and institutional weaknesses by analyzing the regulatory trends in medical advertising.
