Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a training protocol to standardize the management of mass casualties as part of the disaster response, and to verify the effectiveness of the training protocol. Methods: The study was conducted as a quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group and pretest-posttest design. The protocol was divided into 5 parts, the first for the advance party, the second for the rescue team, the third for the paramedic team, the fourth for the ambulance team, and the fifth for the 119 EMS team. This study was conducted on November 15, 2021 and consisted of 21 subjects in the final experimental group and 23 subjects in the control group. In this study, the prior homogeneity test was analyzed using the χ²-test, intragroup comparisons were analyzed using the paired t-test, and intragroup comparisons were analyzed using the independent t-test. Results: The protocol was developed in five parts: advance party, rescue team, paramedics team, ambulance team, and 119 EMS team. In verifying the effectiveness of the protocol, it was found that there were significant differences in self-efficacy (t=-0.941, p=0.001) and self confidence within the group (t=-0.025, p=0.001) after the implementation of the mass casualty incident response training program. However, there was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it is believed that disaster response personnel can experience lower levels of anxiety and tension in disaster situations if they receive practical and realistic education and training. In the future, it is necessary to enhance protocol based practical education that can improve the knowledge and skills of each team and individual.

Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the level of medical care required for mass-gatherings and to describe the types of illness and injury that may occur during demonstrations. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records for patients injured during demonstrations. Results: From May to August at 2008, a total of 932,000 participants attended demonstrations. Most patients were occurred from June to July, a total of 126 patients were evaluated and treated at the emergency center of our hospital. The mean patient age was $31.8{\pm}9.8$ years, and men predominated over women. The vast majority of patients were experienced trauma (88.9%). The diagnostic categories were contusion (49.2%), laceration (20.6%), fracture (6.3%), syncope/dizziness (5.5%), ocular injuries (3.9%), dyspnea (3.9%), other trauma (3.1%), and abdominal complaints (1.5%). Two patients were admitted. Conclusion: The rate and the acuity of patients seen at these demonstrations was low. Nevertheless, a full on-site physician and transportation system is recommended during similar incidents.

2011년 후쿠시마 원전참사나 2001년 캘리포니아 정전사태 등은 전력관련 대형재난사고로 국가적인 막대한 손실을 가져온 발전소 안전관리의 중요성을 재조명하는 사례로 손꼽고 있다. 인간이 지구상에 살고 있는 한 전기가 없이 살 수 없는 상황에서 원자력, 석탄 및 가스 등 대용량의 위험물질을 연료로 전기를 생산하는 발전소가 안전관리의 소홀로 인한 화재폭발사고나 방사능누출, 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 지진 등 자연재해로부터 국민의 생명과 재산손실예방 및 안정적 경제성장을 위해서도 체계적인 소방안전관리의 강화노력은 절대적으로 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 전력공급을 책임지고 있는 한국남부발전 등 5개 발전사 및 한수원의 소방안전관계자를 대상으로 발전소 소방안전관리 운영실태를 조사하여 분석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과, 체계적인 발전소 소방안전관리를 위해서는 소방안전경영시스템의 구축을 바탕으로 소방담당자를 위한 실효적인 업무매뉴얼 및 관리시스템의 개발과 소방안전교육의 내실화 및 지진에 대비한 내진설계의 강화를 개선방안으로 도출하였다.
