Propose: This study was to identify the factors affecting the oral health status in vulnerable elders receiving home visiting health care service. Methods: A total of 444 elderly people over the age of 65 at 33 public health centers in Daegu and Gyungbuk areas were included in this survey. The data were collected by personal interview with nurses using oral health knowledge, behavior, and status questionnaires from the $10^{th}$ to $22^{nd}$ of July, 2012. The data were analyzed with t-test, one-way ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, and stepwise multiple regression, using SPSS program. Results: Factors affecting the oral health status were chewing satisfaction with denture 14.5% (${\beta}=.391$, p<.001), denture care (wash with water) 3.2% (${\beta}=-.187$, p<.01), and types of health insurance (medical aid type1, 2) 1% (${\beta}=-.111$, p<.05). The factors explained 18.7% of variance in the oral health status of vulnerable elderly subjects. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that in order to improve the oral health status of vulnerable elders, it is necessary to provide oral health education that includes the proper usage of denture to elders who receive home-visiting care.

An examination of avalable data relevant to several problems in the Korean family planning program led us to the following conclusions: 1. The high incidence of discontinuance in the use of IUD appears to be one of the foremost problems which effectiveness of the family planning program in Korea. Thus, the development of technologies and program strategies to decrease the discontinuance rate is badly needed to increase effectiveness and efficiency of the program. 2. The monthly supply of oral pill was found inadequate in terms of timing at the end and beginning of the year. 3. The frequency of home visiting showed discrepancy between service statistics and survey result. Evidences indicate that the latter figure is more correct. Program strategies should be developed to make home visiting activities more effective. 4. It was observed that the unit cost of the family planning program was increased fairly rapidly. It calls for the necessity of increasing cost efficiency of the program.

Purpose: This study investigated the occupational status and job stress of visiting nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Participants were 151 visiting nurses working in the public health services in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The study was conducted using a structured online questionnaire. Results: The average age of the visiting nurses was 49.5 years. A occupational period was 38.4% of the participants had worked for a period of 6-10 years and 34.5% of them had worked for a period of 11 years or more. In terms of employment type, 74.8% had permanent contracts and 13.9% had fixed terms. 93.4% of nurses were working on COVID-19-related work; and 57.6% of them were working more than 50% of their work. Each visiting nurse provided health services for a total of 436.4 cases on average and the per day count was 14.3 cases. The service was provided through home visits or phone consultations. The results of the job stress were relationship conflict (60.92±20.72), job demand (59.05±14.10), job autonomy (57.83±14.63), job instability (45.25±27.37), organizational system (44.97±17.21), workplace culture (42.71±18.00), and inadequate compensation (35.29±18.14). There was a significant difference in job stress according to the proportion of COVID-19 work was 'workplace culture' (p=.023), Job autonomy (p=.053) and Inappropriate compensation(p=.054). Conclusion: In order to provide a stable working environment for visiting nurses and effective public visiting health services during unexpected circumstances, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to promote progressive policies and systemic improvements.

농촌지역의 과소화에 따라 의료서비스에 대한 공간적 접근성이 제한되고, 노령화에 따른 의료서비스의 수요가 급격히 증가함에 따라, 최근 방문보건서비스와 같은 서비스 제공자가 수요자에게 직접 이동하는 새로운 형태의 의료서비스가 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 이러한 의료환경의 변화는 공공 의료기관의 한정된 의료자원을 효율적으로 배분하고 운영하기 위한 혁신적이고 과학적인 접근법개발에 대한 요구를 증대시키고 있다. 이러한 배경하에서 본 연구의 목적은 방문 의료서비스 제공을 위한 구역 설정 모델을 수립하고, GIS 환경에서 구역 설정 모델을 구현하는 자동구획절차(AZP) 알고리즘을 개발하는 것이다. 구역 설정 모델은 구역 내 이동성, 구역간 업무량 균형, 연속성 등의 조건을 고려한다. 이동성에 대한 세 개의 서로 다른 목적함수를 평가한다; 1) 구역 내 단위 지역간 네트워크 거리의 합 최소화, 2) 구역 내 단위 지역간 공간상호작용 최대화, 3) 구역 내 단위 지역을 순회하는 경로의 길이 최소화. 모델을 위한 AZP는 GIS 환경에서 개발되었고, 농촌의 방문보건 사례에 적용되었다. 결과는 개발된 AZP를 업무량 균형과 연속성 제약조건하에서 각 목적함수에 대하여 상이한 구획체계를 산출할 수 있음을 보여준다.

Western missionary nurses practiced in Korea from 1891. and the first trial to begin missionary public health nursing service in 1909 could not put into practice for short of nursing staff and budget. The main focus of missionary medical practice was not in public health program but in the management of missionary hospitals. A few of missionary western R.N. tried district nursing in 1910s. but their activities were personal and focused on the rescue of poor and sick patients. In 1917 the North American Methodist Church dispatched R.N. Elizabeth S. Roberts to begin district nursing in Korea. Roberts began maternal and child district nursing service. Her service was focused on teaching the method of bringing up children. bathing service, and home visiting for delivery. She could not but stop district-nursing service in 1918 to serve for a hospital in Siberia. The North American Methodist Church dispatched a few of R.N. to Korea in early 1920s and the missionary public health nursing of Korea could be activated. R.N. E. T. Rosenberger began public health nursing program in Seoul with Korean graduate nurse, Shin-gwang Han, and missionary M.D. Hall. Their public health nursing program was focused on maternal and childcare. They did home visiting in the morning, and served at a well baby clinic in the afternoon. The first baby competition began in 1925. and contributed to the teaching the method of bringing up children. They expanded public health nursing activity to school health nursing and milk station. Their public health nursing program was such a success that In 1929 Severance hospital. Eastgate Hospital. Taehwa Social Evangelistic center organized Seoul Child Health Union. Maren P. Bording, another missionary R.N. and midwife dispatched by the North American Methodist Church began public health nursing program at Kongjoo in 1924. Her program was focused on the maternal and childcare and close to that of Seoul. She started the first milk station in Korea in 1926. As she was a midwife and could get M. D. license in Korea, her program was more focused on maternal care than that of Seoul. The first day nursery school in Korea and the first graduate course for public health nursing in Korea began at Kongjoo in 1930. As the city of Choongcheongnam Province moved from Kongjoo to Daejeon in 1932, missionary public health nursing service in Kongjoo extended to Daejeon. There were lots of public health nursing program in Korea in 1920s and 1930s by missionary western nurses and Korean nurses. There were 13 missionary public health-nursing center in Korea in 1932. But in the late 1930s. Japan extended colonial war and drove out western missionaries. The missionary service in Korea was daunted. and the missionary public health nursing service could not but shrink.
