In Korea, as the elderly population is growing, the quality of life of the rural elderly is becoming a major concern. By the way, social welfare services is less available and accessible to the rural elderly. And we have very limited information about community -oriented welfare services for the elderly. The lack of social welfare services in rural area resulted from mainly geographic isolation and economic deprivation. So, the present research aimed at; 1) to explore what the social welfare service is benefited from governmental or local assembly. 2) to explore what kind of community services is provided for the rural village and elderly. 3) to appear the political propose for the rural elderly. In South Korea, The Rural Development Administration currently operate 'villages which is supported special programs for the improvement of QOL of rural elderly' in 110 villages. It is a model governmental welfare service for rural area. For the purpose, the survey data is gathered from community level data per village (107 villages), individual survey data(881people) who live in the village and qualitative data. Two kinds of quantitative data is combined to form a data. The statistical methods used for data analysis are descriptive statistics, t-test and ANOVA. The major findings of this study were as follows : It was founded that the majority family type of the rural elderly is elderly-only households(75%). In case of poor elderly, they have very limited social insurance benefit and they can not get medical services with satisfaction. The result show that the welfare facilities per village and welfare service for the elderly is extremely low while the needs of welfare service is greate high. A distinctive characteristics in rural villages is that they receive a lot of services from private sectors, like as Women Farmers Union, Adult Union. They operate voluntary welfare services related to food supporting, education for the elderly, free haircut services and so on. In conclusion, the community care services from private sector has specialty in rural area. We conclude it is a distinguishing characteristic of rural community.

The numbers of breast cancer are increasing in Korea and the needs for breast reconstruction are also parallel with cancer frequency. The purpose of the study is to define the different state and condition between the delayed reconstruction and the immediate reconstruction of breasts and to suggest how to get more satisfactory outcome. The study included 22 patients who underwent delayed breast reconstruction using transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous(TRAM) free flap from December, 1990 to January, 2001. Their ages ranged from 28 years to 58 years. We have used internal mammary artery and vein as a recipient vessel in 13 patients because of fibrosis and severe scarring in the axillary region and thoracodorsal artery and vein in 9 patients. When we used internal mammary artery with recipient vessel, we would use contralateral deep inferior epigastric artery with donor vessel. We obtained satisfactory result without any flap loss, and most patients satisfied with shape and volume of reconstructed breast. We found that delayed breast reconstruction have some differences compared with immediate breast reconstruction. First, we remove fibrotic and scar tissue as much as possible to achieve satisfactory shape of breast. Second, we plan preoperative design in standing position to obtain symmetrical recreation of inframammary fold. Third, we use internal mammary vessel in many cases with recipient vessel for microvascular anastomosis. Fourth, patients with delayed breast reconstruction feel more satisfaction than patients with immediate breast reconstruction do. Finally, economic burden is much higher in the delayed case than in the immediate case because of no coverage with insurance.

From 1994-2001, 25 mutilated digits were reconstructed with immediate toe-to-hand transfer in acute hand injury in 21 patients. There were 15 cases of great toe-to-hand transfer(partial great toe transfer 8 cases, modified wrap-around procedure 2 cases, and trimmed great toe transfer 2 cases) for thumb reconstruction, 2 cases of second toe transfer for index reconstruction, and 4 cases of simultaneous two toe-to-hand transfer(great toe & second toe transfer 1 case, bilateral second-toe transfer 2 cases, combined second & third toe transfer 1 case) for reconstruction of multiple digit amputations. Two cases of emergency exploration(2/25, 8%) were successfully salvaged. The incidence of emergency exploration and postoperative infection was not significantly different from that of the elective toe-to-hand transfer cases. Duration of industrial insurance coverage was 225 days, which is much shorter than that of elective cases. Among 43% of patients maintained their original job even after injury and immediate toe-to-hand transfer. The subjective satisfaction self- assessment scores of aesthetic appearance and function on the new reconstructed thumb were 80 and 88 in average, respectively, over a total score of 100. These were higher than those of reconstruction of other digits, but lower than those of elective reconstruction. The donor site after harvest of the great toe was mostly unsatisfied in a view of appearance. Immediate toe-to-hand transfer provides many advantages over elective procedure in acute hand injuries such as single stage reconstruction, shortened convalescent period, early return to work and efficient socio-economic factor. Furthermore because there were no significant differences in success rate, frequency of complications or ultimate functional result, immediate toe-to-hand transfer is a safe and reliable procedure in case of limited indications for acute digits loss.

영업사원의 이직의도 또는 행동을 설명하는 기존 연구들에서는 주로 역할스트레스를 유발하는 요인들과 직무관련 태도 및 성과변인들이 이직에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지를 고찰해왔다. 본 연구는 이러한 기존 연구들에 대한 이해의 폭을 넓혀보고자 사회교환이론에서 제시하고 있는 대안적 회사 매력도라는 개념을 영업사원의 이직의도를 설명하는 연구모형에 새롭게 포함하였다. 생명보험업계에 종사하고 있는 영업사원들로부터 자료를 수집하여 분석한 결과, 이직의도에는 대안적 회사의 매력도가 직접적으로 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 직무성과와 만족은 부적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 이직의도의 중요한 선행변수로서 밝혀져 왔던 조직몰입은 이직의도에 직접적인 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 역할모호성은 직무성과와 만족 모두에 부적인 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났지만, 역할갈등은 직무성과에만 부적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 시회적기업에 대한 정부지원금이 사회적 성과 및 경제적 성과에 미치는 영향에 대해서 분석하고자 한다. 표본은 2016년부터 2018년까지 한국사회적기업진흥원 자율경영공시에 참여한 인증 사회적기업을 사용하여 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 실증분석 결과 정부지원금은 사회적기업의 사회적·경제적 성과에 음(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 정부지원금 구성항목별로 구분하여 분석한 결과에서는 일자리창출 인건비와 사회보험료 항목은 사회적 성과에, 전문인력지원비와 사회개발비는 경제적 성과에 양(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 정부지원금 항목별로 사회적기업 목적에 따라 성과 창출에 기여하고 있다고 해석할 수 있다. 띠리서 정부지원금 실효성을 높이고 사회적 기업 만족도를 높이기 위해서는 구체적이고 맞춤형 지원정책 수립이 필요하다고 판단된다.

Purpose: This study investigates dental health and chewing ability of patients hospitalized in geriatric hospital, and compares the chewing ability for each factor that can be used as data for dental healthcare of senior citizens and basic data for denture insurance for the elderly. Methods: The 101 subjects of this study were selected from 178 patients hospitalized in a geriatric hospital located in Daegu Metropolitan City, excluding 77 patients who were being treated in the intensive care unit and who were unable to communicate. The chewing ability of the patients were measured using an evaluation scale based on foods consisting of 10 different hardnesses. Results: Patients with less than 21 teeth, those with dentures and patients who were less than satisfied with their dental conditions had difficulties in chewing hard food such as dried squid and radish kimchi, and the Chewing ability increased proportionally to the number of remaining teeth(p<0.001), appropriateness of the maxillary and mandibular dentures(p<0.005) and the level of dental satisfaction(p<0.001). Conclusion: This study is limited as the subjects were selected from a single hospital and the authors estimate that various studies will be necessary to investigate the Chewing ability of patients hospitalized in long-term hospitals. The subjects of this study did not receive any dental treatment while staying in the hospital and many of the subjects had bad fit denture or didn't have dentures or did not use dentures, although they have dentures, which calls for denture construction and prosthetics through dental treatment.

현재 우리나라의 재가간호서비스는 보건소의 맞춤형 방문건강관리사업과 의료기관 가정간호사업, 그리고 노인장기요양보험의 방문간호서비스의 독립성과 전문성을 인정하면서, 각 영역간의 연계를 통해 사업의 중복성을 최소화하는 연계방안이 필요한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구는 재가간호서비스의 연계방안을 도출하기 위해 전문가들의 의견을 바탕으로 합의를 이끌어내는 델파이 기법을 활용하였다. 그 결과 제도적 차원의 연계와 의료적 차원의 연계라는 두 영역 안의 총 24개 항목이 연계방안으로 도출되었다. 재가간호서비스의 연계방안으로 도출된 24개의 항목은 재가간호사업 체계의 개선과 제공되는 서비스 질의 향상, 대상자의 만족도 증대 효과를 가져 올 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 서비스의 중복을 최소화할 수 있는 방안을 모색함으로서 국가적 차원에서 복지 및 국민 건강관리의 효율성을 증대할 것으로 보인다. 이를 통해 궁극적으로 국민의료비의 절감과 더불어 재가간호서비스 증진에 기여할 것으로 여겨진다.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) have been the most common health problem covered by worker's accident compensation insurance for several years in Korea. Korean government has strengthened related regulations since 2003. People looked forward to decreasing the incidence and prevalence of WMSDs. At first, the expectation could be realized. However, we were bumped against to limit at present. The authors think it is due to the negligence of psychosocial factors for WMSDs. Many researchers reported that the various psychosocial factors were associated with WMSDs or symptoms. Job demand, social support, job satisfaction and decision latitude are the major risk factors in job stress aspect. Work pressure, lack of rest, qualified workload, workload variability and monotonous job are the significant risk factors in work context of work organization. Employment flexibility, downsizing, lean production, contingent work and pay for by the piece are also the risk factors in an organizational context. Furthermore, these risk factors are associated with each other across different dimensions of work organization. Suggestive possible pathways between these risks and WMSDs have been taken note of increasing muscle strain or ergonomic stress and of a cognitive aspect. The authors suggest these risk factors could explain the limitation of the regulation system for WMSDs. In conclusion, the strategy to manage psychosocial factors is the one of the essential approach to prevent WMSDs.
