1957년 이래 1999년 8월까지 약 313회의 우주발사 실패가 있었다. NASA의 '우주수송을 발전시킨다'라는 목표하에서, 제6의 목적은 우주선의 사고발생위험을 10년내에 1/40으로, 25년내에 1/140으로 낮춘다는 것이다. 이는 곧 우주개발이 아직도 얼마나 위험한 것인가를 보여주는 통계자료이다. 왜 이렇게 위험한 우주여행을 감수하면서, 우주개발에 뛰어드는 것인가? 우주개발은 경제적인 측면에서 인공위성을 이용한 통신 및 방송산업은 21세기 초에이룩될 우주산업의 가장 큰 분야가 될 전망이다. 특히, 우주의 특수한 환경인 무중력상태와 지구상보다 1,000 배나 높은 진공상태를 이용한 새로운 반도체의 개발 및 생산 그리고 신약의 개발 등이 활발하게 이루어질 것인데, 지난 1986년부터 지난달까지 운용되던 러시아의 "미르" 우주정거장에서는 수정을 생산하여 판매 하였다. 현재 우주산업은 미국, EU, 일본 등 소수 선진국들이 주도하고 있으며, 세계우주산업 시장규모는 년 평균 10% 이상 지속적인 신장이 이루어질 것으로 전망하고 있으며, 특히 민간용 이동통신산업 확대, 우주탐사활동 증대, 우주정거장사업 추진등으로 우주산업 규모는 비약적으로 신장할 것으로 예측되며, 최근 5년간 ED와 일본은 연평균 15${\sim}$20 %의 고성장을 유지하고 있다. 미국 NASA가 1993년 가을부터 1996년 10월까지 3년동안 민간기업에 기술을 이전한 결과를 보면, 거시적 안목을 가지고 우주산업을 추진해야 함을 알 수 있다. NASA는 미국 전역에서 16,300개의 일자리를 창출하였으며, NASA 의 기술 이전으로 새로 생긴 상품은 938개에 달하며, NASA가 민간에 이전한 기술을 경제적 가치로 환산하면 매년 16억 달러에 달하며, 또한 기술지원을 받은 미국기업을 5,600개가 넘는다. 또한, 경제외적인 측면에서 국가의 안보, 자주국방을 위한 정보수집을 위해 결정적인 역할을 한다. 우리나라는 외국에서 발사한 7개의 위성을 운영하고 있으며, '03년 8월 8일 고흥 외나로도에 인공위성발사장 기공식을 함으로써, 국내우주개발계획에 박차를 가하고 았다. 이러한 국가적인 우주개발계획과 함께 공군의 우주력건설에 따른 고찰이 필요하다. 우리나라는 미국과의 MTCR 협의로 인하여, 사정거리 300km 이상의 미사일발사체를 개발하지 않도록 되어 있으므로, 현실적으로 국방부(공군) 자체에서 우주발사체를 개발하는 것은 어렵다. 현대전에서 항공우주력은 곧 전쟁의 승패를 결정하는 필수적인 요소이며, 이미 전장이 우주로 화대되어 있는 현실에 있어서, 군의 우주력건설은 '우주력건설의 당위성'을 논할 때가 아니고, '어떻게 군의 우주력건설'을 하여야 하는 가 '우주력건설의 방법론'에 대한 구체적인 연구가 되어야 할 때이다. 우주의 군사적이용에 대한 제한은 미국의 주장대로 "비침략적 이용(non-aggressive use)"이 옳은 판단이며, 구소련의 "비군사적 이용(non-military)"에 대한 주장은 옳지 않다. 이러한 구 소련의 주장은 러시아정부에서는 적극적으로 주장하고 있지도 않고 현실성도 없는 주장이다. 따라서, 미국의 우주의 평화적 이용에 대한 개념에 의하면, 다목적위성의 군정찰목적으로의 이용이나, 상업위성의 군통신 이용은 자유롭다고 할 것이다. 즉, 공군은 군정찰위성, 통신위성 개발을 민간연구부서와 자유롭게 할 수 있다고 본다, 다만, 미국과의 MTCR 협정상 우주발사체 개발에 대해서는 제한을 받고 있으나, 우주발사체개발은 한국항공우주연구원에 위임하고, 궤도에 있는 위성을 운용하면 문제가 없다고 본다. 다목적위성은 주 임무가 Remote Sensing 인데 High resolution 특히 SAR 센서는 주로 군사목적으로 이용되고 있다. 따라서, 다목적위성은 공군과 한국항공우주연구원, 국방과학연구소간의 공동으로 연구개발을 할 수 있는 제도가 마련되어야 한다. 미 공군도 현재 사용 중인 발사체를 단계적으로 제거하며 기업 발사체 이용을 증가시킨다. 또한, 군 통신의 특수성 때문에 민수용 통신 및 방송 서비스와는 독립적으로 운영되어 왔으나 군 통신 중계기와 민간 통신 중계기가 혼합되어 운용됨으로써 군 위성 통신의 단독에서 오는 경제적인 부담을 줄이기 위한 방안으로 각광을 받고 있다. 걸프전에서도 미국은 상용통신위성을 군 통신에 사용하였다. 우리나라의 우주과학기술 연구에의 착수는 다른 나라들과의 경제적 개발 정도와 비교해 볼 때 늦었으며, 우주개발예산 또한 상대적으로 일본은 2조원/년인데 비하여 우리는 5조원/15년으로 부족하다. 우주산업은 산업의 특성상 초기 육성기간은 산업체 수익사업으로 전개될 수 없으므로, 정부예산에 의한 사업추진이 불가피하다. 외국의 경우에도 우주개발 프로그램은 모두 정부사업이며, 최근 들어 통신 방송위성 등 극히 제한된 분야에 한해 민간사업이 추진되고 있을 뿐이다. 더욱이 우리나라와 같이 우주산업이 초창기에 있는 경우에는 이러한 필요성이 더욱 절박하며, 정부사업의 추진 시에도 정부지원예산의 회수를 전제로 하지 않는 정부출현 혹은 투자사업으로 추진되어야하는 것이 필수적 요소이다. 우주연구인력수준에 있어서도, 세계적으로 우주개발선전국들에 비하여 예산이 부족하며, 전문인력도 부족하다. 따라서, 국가 우주개발의 효율적이고 체계적인 추진과 사업 추진시의 힘의 분산 및 혼돈을 방지하기 위해서도 한국의 우주개발 체계에 대한 선명한 제시와 함께 국내 우주개발 관련 법령의 제정이 시급하다. 또한, 우리나라 우주개발은 각기다른 법령하에 각기 다른 주무부처에서 사업을 진행하고 있으므로, 국가적으로 집중적인 우주개발체제를 확립하는 것이 필요하다. 우주력건설을 위해서는 항공우주연구분야 즉 국방과학연구소와 한국항공우주연구원의 항공우주분야를 어떻게 협력 또는 통합하느냐에 대한 연구이전에, 우주력을 어떻게 운용할 것인가에 대한 근본적인 전략과 정책을 수립할 '우주작전본부'를 공군에 설립하는 것이 선과제이다.'우주작전본부'를 설립하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 국방부와 합참의 전략적인 의사결정이 필요하다. 특히, 일본의 군의 우주력건설에 대한 계획을 참고하여, 자주국방을 위한 최소한의 군사목적의 정찰위성, 통신위성, 우주감시체계의 확보가 필요하다. MTCR협정 등의 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 한국항공우주연구원의 발사체개발을 이용하고, 또한 다목적위성, 통신위성개발을 활용하기 위하여 국방예산을 확보하여야 하겠으며, 우선적으로 일본의 정찰위성 운용예산인 약 2조 5천억원정도의 우주예산을 국방부에서 먼저 확보할 필요가 있다.

Much has teed changed in the field of hospital administration in the It wake of the rapid development of sciences, techniques ana systematic hospital management. However, we still have a long way to go in organization, in the quality of hospital employees and hospital equipment and facilities, and in financial support in order to achieve proper hospital management. The above factors greatly effect the ability of hospitals to fulfill their obligation in patient care and nursing services. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal methods of standardization and quality nursing so as to improve present nursing services through investigations and analyses of various problems concerning nursing administration. This study has been undertaken during the six month period from October 1971 to March 1972. The 41 comprehensive hospitals have been selected iron amongst the 139 in the whole country. These have been categorized according-to the specific purposes of their establishment, such as 7 university hospitals, 18 national or public hospitals, 12 religious hospitals and 4 enterprise ones. The following conclusions have been acquired thus far from information obtained through interviews with nursing directors who are in charge of the nursing administration in each hospital, and further investigations concerning the purposes of establishment, the organization, personnel arrangements, working conditions, practices of service, and budgets of the nursing service department. 1. The nursing administration along with its activities in this country has been uncritical1y adopted from that of the developed countries. It is necessary for us to re-establish a new medical and nursing system which is adequate for our social environments through continuous study and research. 2. The survey shows that the 7 university hospitals were chiefly concerned with education, medical care and research; the 18 national or public hospitals with medical care, public health and charity work; the 2 religious hospitals with medical care, charity and missionary works; and the 4 enterprise hospitals with public health, medical care and charity works. In general, the main purposes of the hospitals were those of charity organizations in the pursuit of medical care, education and public benefits. 3. The survey shows that in general hospital facilities rate 64 per cent and medical care 60 per-cent against a 100 per cent optimum basis in accordance with the medical treatment law and approved criteria for training hospitals. In these respects, university hospitals have achieved the highest standards, followed by religious ones, enterprise ones, and national or public ones in that order. 4. The ages of nursing directors range from 30 to 50. The level of education achieved by most of the directors is that of graduation from a nursing technical high school and a three year nursing junior college; a very few have graduated from college or have taken graduate courses. 5. As for the career tenure of nurses in the hospitals: one-third of the nurses, or 38 per cent, have worked less than one year; those in the category of one year to two represent 24 pet cent. This means that a total of 62 per cent of the career nurses have been practicing their profession for less than two years. Career nurses with over 5 years experience number only 16 per cent: therefore the efficiency of nursing services has been rated very low. 6. As for the standard of education of the nurses: 62 per cent of them have taken a three year course of nursing in junior colleges, and 22 per cent in nursing technical high schools. College graduate nurses come up to only 15 per cent; and those with graduate course only 0.4 per cent. This indicates that most of the nurses are front nursing technical high schools and three year nursing junior colleges. Accordingly, it is advisable that nursing services be divided according to their functions, such as professional, technical nurses and nurse's aides. 7. The survey also shows that the purpose of nursing service administration in the hospitals has been regulated in writing in 74 per cent of the hospitals and not regulated in writing in 26 per cent of the hospitals. The general purposes of nursing are as follows: patient care, assistance in medical care and education. The main purpose of these nursing services is to establish proper operational and personnel management which focus on in-service education. 8. The nursing service departments belong to the medical departments in almost 60 per cent of the hospitals. Even though the nursing service department is formally separated, about 24 per cent of the hospitals regard it as a functional unit in the medical department. Only 5 per cent of the hospitals keep the department as a separate one. To the contrary, approximately 12 per cent of the hospitals have not established a nursing service department at all but surbodinate it to the other department. In this respect, it is required that a new hospital organization be made to acknowledge the independent function of the nursing department. In 76 per cent of the hospitals they have advisory committees under the nursing department, such as a dormitory self·regulating committee, an in-service education committee and a nursing procedure and policy committee. 9. Personnel arrangement and working conditions of nurses 1) The ratio of nurses to patients is as follows: In university hospitals, 1 to 2.9 for hospitalized patients and 1 to 4.0 for out-patients; in religious hospitals, 1 to 2.3 for hospitalized patients and 1 to 5.4 for out-patients. Grouped together this indicates that one nurse covers 2.2 hospitalized patients and 4.3 out-patients on a daily basis. The current medical treatment law stipulates that one nurse should care for 2.5 hospitalized patients or 30.0 out-patients. Therefore the statistics indicate that nursing services are being peformed with an insufficient number of nurses to cover out-patients. The current law concerns the minimum number of nurses and disregards the required number of nurses for operation rooms, recovery rooms, delivery rooms, new-born baby rooms, central supply rooms and emergency rooms. Accordingly, tile medical treatment law has been requested to be amended. 2) The ratio of doctors to nurses: In university hospitals, the ratio is 1 to 1.1; in national of public hospitals, 1 to 0.8; in religious hospitals 1 to 0.5; and in private hospitals 1 to 0.7. The average ratio is 1 to 0.8; generally the ideal ratio is 3 to 1. Since the number of doctors working in hospitals has been recently increasing, the nursing services have consequently teen overloaded, sacrificing the services to the patients. 3) The ratio of nurses to clerical staff is 1 to 0.4. However, the ideal ratio is 5 to 1, that is, 1 to 0.2. This means that clerical personnel far outnumber the nursing staff. 4) The ratio of nurses to nurse's-aides; The average 2.5 to 1 indicates that most of the nursing service are delegated to nurse's-aides owing to the shortage of registered nurses. This is the main cause of the deterioration in the quality of nursing services. It is a real problem in the guest for better nursing services that certain hospitals employ a disproportionate number of nurse's-aides in order to meet financial requirements. 5) As for the working conditions, most of hospitals employ a three-shift day with 8 hours of duty each. However, certain hospitals still use two shifts a day. 6) As for the working environment, most of the hospitals lack welfare and hygienic facilities. 7) The salary basis is the highest in the private university hospitals, with enterprise hospitals next and religious hospitals and national or public ones lowest. 8) Method of employment is made through paper screening, and further that the appointment of nurses is conditional upon the favorable opinion of the nursing directors. 9) The unemployment ratio for one year in 1971 averaged 29 per cent. The reasons for unemployment indicate that the highest is because of marriage up to 40 per cent, and next is because of overseas employment. This high unemployment ratio further causes the deterioration of efficiency in nursing services and supplementary activities. The hospital authorities concerned should take this matter into a jeep consideration in order to reduce unemployment. 10) The importance of in-service education is well recognized and established. 1% has been noted that on the-job nurses. training has been most active, with nursing directors taking charge of the orientation programs of newly employed nurses. However, it is most necessary that a comprehensive study be made of instructors, contents and methods of education with a separate section for in-service education. 10. Nursing services'activities 1) Division of services and job descriptions are urgently required. 81 per rent of the hospitals keep written regulations of services in accordance with nursing service manuals. 19 per cent of the hospitals do not keep written regulations. Most of hospitals delegate to the nursing directors or certain supervisors the power of stipulating service regulations. In 21 per cent of the total hospitals they have policy committees, standardization committees and advisory committees to proceed with the stipulation of regulations. 2) Approximately 81 per cent of the hospitals have service channels in which directors, supervisors, head nurses and staff nurses perform their appropriate services according to the service plans and make up the service reports. In approximately 19 per cent of the hospitals the staff perform their nursing services without utilizing the above channels. 3) In the performance of nursing services, a ward manual is considered the most important one to be utilized in about 32 percent of hospitals. 25 per cent of hospitals indicate they use a kardex; 17 per cent use ward-rounding, and others take advantage of work sheets or coordination with other departments through conferences. 4) In about 78 per cent of hospitals they have records which indicate the status of personnel, and in 22 per cent they have not. 5) It has been advised that morale among nurses may be increased, ensuring more efficient services, by their being able to exchange opinions and views with each other. 6) The satisfactory performance of nursing services rely on the following factors to the degree indicated: approximately 32 per cent to the systematic nursing activities and services; 27 per cent to the head nurses ability for nursing diagnosis; 22 per cent to an effective supervisory system; 16 per cent to the hospital facilities and proper supply, and 3 per cent to effective in·service education. This means that nurses, supervisors, head nurses and directors play the most important roles in the performance of nursing services. 11. About 87 per cent of the hospitals do not have separate budgets for their nursing departments, and only 13 per cent of the hospitals have separate budgets. It is recommended that the planning and execution of the nursing administration be delegated to the pertinent administrators in order to bring about improved proved performances and activities in nursing services.
