For the purpose of disclosing estimated annual incidence rate and causative factors of traumatic spinal cord injury and obtaining basic data for the establishment of effective measures to prevent this injury, the medical record of 204 cases of Seoul residents with spinal cord injury which admitted in 46 general hospitals and National rehabilitation center located in Seoul, including Sam Yook Rehabilitation Center and Jung Ang Hospital in Kyungi do and occurred in 1995 were analyzed. The results were as follows: 1) The estimated annual incidence rate of traumatic spinal cord injury in 1995 of Seoul residents was 20.5 per million population. This incidence rate was the highest in the 40th years (34.1), followed by in the 50th years (26.5) and in the 20th years (25.6) in descending order. 2) The incidence rate ratio between male and female was 3.5:1. 3) The leading cause of injury was the highest in traffic accidents (42.2%), followed by falls from elevation (29.4%) and falls on the same level (9.8%). 4) Traffic accident mainly occured from 20th years to 40th years and falls from elevation in 50th years. 5) The level of spinal cord injury was the highest in cervical cord (63.2%), followed by the thoracic cord (21.1%) and lumbosacral cord (15.7%). Traffic accidents mainly caused in cervical cord injury whereas thoracic cord injury and lumbosacral cord injury were caused from falls from elevation. Above theconsiderations in mind, it suggested that in order to prevent traumatic spinal cord injuries, safety education of falls from elevation should be focused on the 20th years and 50th years male, moreover safety education of traffic accidents will be needed in the 30th years and 40th years male.
To assess the status of safety accidents, authors reviewed and analysed the records of safety accidents of a welding material manufacturing factory at Pohang city from January 1989 to December 1993. The results are; 1. The total incidence of safety accidents was 295 spells for five years. 2. Average age of workers with accident was 35.7 years. Average duration of employment was 6.2 years and the duration of employment increased as the year increased. 3. There was no statistical significance on season, month, weekday and time by year in the incidence of safety accidents. The most frequent part of body injured was upper extremities and the most frequent type of injury was abrasion. 4. Mean admission rate of safety accidents was 12.6% and the ratio of treated spells as occupational injury was 7.8%. 5. The most frequent cause of injury was worker's mistake and the most frequent action for the prevention of further accidents was safety education. 6. The incidence rate of safety accidents on 1993 was 116.2 spells per 1,000 persons. Above results suggest that to prevent safety accidents, safety education should be done continuously, the environmental and human factors were controlled and more exact reporting system of safety accidents was needed.
Purpose: To demonstrate the importance of comprehensive skin observation as an effective intervention for pressure injury prevention in elderly long-term care hospital patients. Methods: The survey was conducted with 70 nursing staff members working at two long-term care hospitals with 200 beds or less in D city. Data were collected from October 16 to October 23, 2019 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, and the independent t-test with the SPSS 25.0 program. Results: Nursing care knowledge for pressure injury was similar between the two groups. Conversely, nursing care performance for pressure injury degree of the nursing staff in the hospital using skin observation records performed better than those who did not (t=6.11, p<.001). Furthermore, comprehensive skin assessments in long-term care hospitals using skin observation records showed a lower incidence rate of pressure injury than that showed using general skin assessments (t=-5.28, p=.006). Conclusions: Comprehensive skin assessment is important for pressure injury prevention in elderly long-term care hospital patients. To implement this effectively, it is necessary to devise institutional regulations, guidelines, and systematic education programs.

Objective : The aim of the present study is to estimate the incidence trend of head injury and the mortality based on traffic accident statistics and to investigate the impacts of rapid industrialization and economic growth on epidemiology of head injury in Korea over the period 1970-2012 including both pre-industrialized and post-industrialized stages. Methods : We collected data of head injury estimated from traffic accident statistics and seven hospital based reports to see incidence trends between 1970 and 2012. We also investigated the population structure and Gross National Income (GNI) per capita of Korea over the same period. The age specific data were investigated from 1992 to 2012. Results : The incidence of head injury gradually rose in the 1970s and the 1980s but stabilized until the 1990s with transient rise and then started to decline slowly in the 2000s. The mortality grew until 1991 but gradually declined ever since. However, the old age groups showed rather slight increase in both rates. The degree of decrease in the mortality has been more rapid than the incidence on head injury. Conclusion : In Korea during the low income stage, rapid industrialization cause considerable increase in the mortality and the incidence of head injury. During the high income stage, the incidence of head injury gradually declined and the mortality dropped more rapidly than the incidence due to preventive measures and satisfactory medical care. Nevertheless, the old age groups revealed rather slight increase in both rates owing to the large population structure and the declining birth rate.

Purpose: To identify the incidence of cutaneous injury in clinical nurses. Method: From Feb.1 to 28, 2005, 276 clinical nurses were surveyed by questionnaire. Results: 1. Of the nurses, 53.6% had at least one incidence of cutaneous injury, and the mean number of injuries was 1.34. A higher incidence rate for cutaneous injury was found in nurses who were under the age of 25, unmarried and who had less than 3 years career experience. 2. The major causes of injury were syringe needles at 65.0%, and medical instrument were next followed by sharp objects or blades. The injuries occurred when the nurses were rearranging equipment after care (25.2%), taking blood samples (22.8%), separating syringes and needles (17.1%), during surgical operations (14.2%), and distribution of medications, treatments and recapping of needles (5.7% each). The hands were the most common body parts injured, and the most prevalent pathogens contaminating the instruments causing the injury were HBV syphilis, HCV and HIV in that order. 3. Of the injured nurses, 77.9% did not report the accident and 25.8% did not receive any treatment because there were no pathogens, it was a bother or there was difficulty reporting the incident. Conclusion: To reduce cutaneous injuries, intensive training and supervision may be needed for those of nurses under the age of 25, unmarried and with less than 3 years career experience.

PURPOSE: This study examined the incidence, location, and characteristics of sports injuries according to the position in Korean female elite handball athletes. METHODS: Thirty handball athletes, who trained at between January 2019 and December 2019 were enrolled. The event, position, and location of injury were recorded according to the IOC's Daily injury reports form. The incidence of sports injury was examined with the 95% confidence interval (CI), and the difference in the incidence of injury by position was presented as the rate ratio (RR). Moreover, differences in the location of the sports injury according to the position were examined using χ2 tests. RESULTS: A total of 148 sports injuries occurred in the handball players, with an incidence of 22.71 cases of injury per 1,000 exposures (95% CI 19.05 - 26.37) The incidence of injury was highest in the Competition group, followed by the Weights and Training groups. The most common location of sports injury was the lower extremity, followed by the upper extremity, trunk. No significant differences in the location of sports injuries were observed according to the position (p = .384). In addition, the knee, ankle, lumbar spine/lower back, shoulder/clavicle were common sites of sports injury among handball players. CONCLUSION: These results provide a baseline for predicting sports injuries occurring in athletes during games, and would provide useful information for developing performance enhancement as well as injury prevention programs.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between sports incidence and heart rate variability in nationa lfemale judo athletes. Participants measured heart rate variability using the Autonomic Nervous System(SA-6000). Based on the average incidence of injury, sports injury incidence was classified into upper and lower groups. In addition, Pearson's Product Moment Correlation was performed to examine the correlation between the independent T-test, the number of sports injuries, and the heart rate variability. Heart rate variability was significantly different in total power and low frequency, and there was also significant difference in otal power and low frequency in the correlation analysis of heart rate variability according to the number of sports injuries. These data are expected to be useful as basic data for developing prevention injury programs.
