  • 만성질환으로 인한 진료비 부담과 사회적 자본의 손실은 전 세계적으로 문제가 되고 있으며, 만성질환의 예방과 관리를 위해 다양한 분야에서의 종합적이고 포괄적인 대책이 요구되고 있다. 만성질환 환자 건강 문제의 근본적인 원인 해결과 기존의 치료법을 지원하는 방법으로 사회적 처방이 효과적인 것으로 나타났는데 특히, 사회적 처방을 기반으로 자연과 녹지의 치유 효과를 활용한 녹색처방이 해외 여러 국가들에서 도입되고 있다. 녹색처방은 보건의료인이 환자에게 만성질환의 예방 및 관리의 목적으로 공원녹지에서의 활동이나 자연환경 체험을 권고하는 것을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 국가 체계 아래에서 녹색처방을 도입하여 운영 중인 영국과 미국 사례의 정책체계를 중심으로 녹색처방의 도입배경, 관련정책, 운영방식을 비교 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 국내에 녹색처방을 도입하기 위한 실효적인 계획을 수립할 수 있도록 시사점을 네 가지로 제안하였다. 첫째, 녹색처방의 정책 수립에 앞서 녹색처방에 대한 관심과 연구가 바탕이 되어야 한다. 둘째, 국가 보건의료체계에 맞는 실행계획 수립이 요구되며 정책상 계획이 뒷받침되어야 한다. 셋째, 장기적이고 점진적인 관점에서의 녹색처방 도입이 요구된다. 넷째, 녹색처방 제도 도입과 실행에 있어 전방위적 협력이 필요하다. 본 연구는 향후 국내 녹색처방 도입에 앞서 논의가 이루어지기 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop a critical pathway for case management for patients who have received Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) because of Ischemic Heart Disease(IHD) which is a factor of rising medical expenses. For this study. a conceptual framework was developed through a review of the literature including six critical pathways which are currently being used in USA. In order to identify the overall service contents required by these patients and to draw up a preliminary critical pathway, 30 cases of medical records of patients who had CABG because of IHD between January, 1995 to June. 1996 at the Cardiovascular Center of Yonsei Medical Center in Seoul were analyzed. An expert validity test was done for the preliminary critical pathway and clinical validity test was also done using seven IHD patients with CABG between November 11 and 23, 1996. After these processes. the final critical pathway was developed. The results of this study are summarized as follows : 1. The vertical axis of the critical pathway includes the following eight items : tests, nutrition, medications, consultations, activity, assessments, treatments, education discharge planning and the horizontal axis includes the time from the start of hospitalization to discharge. 2. Analysis of the 30 medical records indicated that the average length of stay was 20.2days with the average length of stay from hospitalization day to operation day being 6.2 days, and the average length of stay from operation day to discharge day was 13. 9 days. Analysis of the service contents showed that the horizontal axis of the preliminary critical pathway was set from hospitalization to the 14th post operation day and the vertical axis was set to include eight items, the contents which ought to have occurred, according to the time frames of the horizontal axis. 3. As a result of the experts validity, it was found that among the total of 571 items. there was over 83% agreement for 482 items, less than 83% for 89 items, which were then deleted and a revision of the critical pathway was done. 4. A clinical validity test was done using seven IHD patients with CABG. During the process, three patients were deleted because they were out of the criteria the investigator set. Finally, four patients were used. The result of study indicated that only one patient was discharged on the tenth post operation day, which was one day later than the expected day. Three patients were discharged later than the expected day from three days to nine days. All the cases progressed on schedule until the operation day and the first post operation day, but from the second post operation days, there were differences between the critical pathway and the actual practice. The differences came from tests, assessments, and treatments. 5. On the basis of the results of the clinical validity test. the following revisions in the final critical pathway were made : the transfer from ICU to step down ward would be the second post operation day, and the transfer to a general ward, the fifth post operation day, for patients who complained of lack of sleep from the fifth post operation day to discharge, a sleeping pill would be prescribed, skin observations would be performed routinely from immediately after the operation until the third post operation day, and would continue if there was a sign of skin injury on the fourth post operation day, and assessment of chest pain would be done from the third post operation day, and the “stairs climbing” item, expected to be done on the ninth post operation day would be deleted. In conclusion, this critical pathway is partially applicable to the care of patients with CABG but there are some parts needed to be further investigated.

  • This study was made on 274 apoplectics patients who received the rehabilitation therapy and tests on physical, psychological and social adaptations as outpatients in 23 general hospitals in the Seoul and Kyungi area. The basic data on degree of improvement of apoplectic patients studied from rehabilitation therapy. Data was collected over a period of 63 days, from February 21st till April, 23, 1996. The assigned physical therapist conducted direct interviews with patients after he answered the distributed questionnaires for each individual patient. The colleted data was processed by the $SPCC/C^+$ method. The results of the tests conducted to meascne the the degree of ADL dependency, depression and social activity corresponding to the physical, psychological, and social adaptation. The details are ; 1) The test to meascne the degree of ADL dependency, corresponding to the study of physical adaptation of CVA patients, indicated a mean score of 2.57(ideal score is 1.0) with a standard deviation of ${\pm}0.75$. The worst score was 3.95 while the best score was a perfect 1.0, representing a severe range of dependency. The distribution was centered with a median of 2.65 and a mode of 2.68. 2) The test to meascne the degree of depression which corresponds to the level of psychological adaptation yielded a mean of 2.99 which is higher than the normal limit of 2.45. The standard deviation was ${\pm}0.52$ and the worst score and the best score were 4.35 and Respectirdy. The distribution was centered with a median of 3.00 and a mode of 3.00. 3) The test to meascne the degree of social activities for the level of social adaptation indicated a very low mean score of 26.52 (perfect score is 144), with the standard deviation of ${\pm}16.23$. Some patients scored as high as 100, but others scored as low as 3. The distribution of social activities at a very low level was shifted to the left with a median of 24.00 and a mode of 20.00. 4) Factors influencing the level of physical, psychological and social adaptation are as follows : Factors significantly influencing the level of physical adaptation measured by ADL dependency are age, personal guardian, payer of medical expenses, and paralysis of the right arm, right leg and facial paralysis. Factors significantly influencing the level of psychological adaptation measured by the degree of depression, are age, marital status, education, medical history of individual and family, speech impediment, and facial paralysis. Factors significantly influencing the level of social adaptation measured by the degree of social activity are age, marital status, education, employment status, and the burden of medical expense. 5) The Corelationship is significant(9.00), between ADL dependeing as degree of physical adaptation and depreseion as degree of psychologial adaptation. ADL dependency is proportional to depression. But social activity is inversely protional to ADL dependeny and depression. In conclusion, the increased care for physical function of the patients is not the only necessary means to better facilitate the appropriate adaptation of CVA patients. The introduction of a solid rehabilitation program for psychological and social adaptation will also play the integral part of the treatment of CVA patients.

  • 의료소비자인 환자들은 바쁜 일상생활 때문에 야간외래진료를 원하고 있다. 이것은 환자의 편의 측면 및 서비스 개선 차원에서 병원에서는 긍정적인 검토를 해야 하나 현재의 수가 체계와 환자의 수요 및 추가 인건비를 포함한 비용면을 고려할 때 실행에는 어려운 문제점이 있다. 이에 본 저자는 환자의 요구와 병원의 경제적인 면을 모두 해결할 수 있는 교대제 근무에 의한 외래진료 제도를 개발해서 그 효과와 야간외래진료의 대안으로서의 가능성을 분석하기 위하여 본 연구를 하였다. 본 연구는 기초조사, 개입 및 효과분석으로 구성되다. 기초조사는 야간외래진료의 수요에 대한 기초조사, 병상, 의사, 직원 수에 대한 조사, 진료및 근무시간 조사, 94년 1월 시간별 환자수를 조사하고 개입(intervention)은 진료시간 변경, 시간대별 환자수를 고려한 각 부서별 근무시간 조정, 최소한 인원 증원이며 효과 분석은 시간대별 환자수, 각 부서별 시차제 근무 효과, 외래와 입원 환자수를 개입 연구 전후로 비교하고 7-8시, 18-20시의 환자수 분석, 교대제 근무에 의한 외래진료에 대해서 의사, 직원, 환자들의 의견을 설문 조사하였다. 교대제에 의한 외래진료의 진료시간은 오전반은 오전 7시에 출근하여 오후 3시까지 근무하고 오후반은 12시부터 20시까지 점심, 저녁 시간 없이 진료를 하는 제도이다. 실시 과는 내과, 일반외과, 정형외과, 산부인과이고 증원된 인원은 24명이고 진료지원 부서는 환자의 내원시간과 부서별 특성을 고려하여 탄력적으로 조정하였다. 이 제도 실시후 환자의 시간대별 분포는 비슷했으나 7-8시 18-20시의 환자 수가 약간 증가했다. 특히 야간 외래진료 시간대인 18-20시의 환자 수는 25-30명으로 1개과당 6-7명이었다. 환자수는 전년 대비 외래는 평균 13%, 입원은 10% 증가했다. 이 제도 실시에 대한 설문조사에서 의사는 100% 직원은 94.6% 환자는 86.4% 찬성했고 장점은 여유시간 활용, 진료시간 연장, 환자의 분산및 대기시간 단축, 응급환자 신속 처리 등이었으며 단점은 인력 부족으로 일이 힘들다, 전과 불실시로 인한 문제, 진료의 연속성, 점심 저녁 시간이 없다, 회진 시간이 불규칙하다 라고 하였다. 현재까지는 야간에 외래진료를 이용하는 환자가 많지 않기 때문에 초과근무수당 및 인력 투입하는 야간외래진료 보다는 교대제 근무에 의한 외래진료가 효율적인 것 같다. 이 제도의 실시는 환자의 실 외래 진료 이용 시간을 5시간 30분 증가시켰다. 이 제도의 효과를 높이기 위해서는 전과 실시가 필요하나 병원의 경제적인 여건 미비로 힘들다. 만약 정부에서 정책적으로 전과 실시때문에 발생한 손실에 대한 한시적인 보조가 있다면 이 제도의 조기 정착에 도움이 될 것이다.

  • By the increase of the rate of existence of the hemodialyzing patients, they were required the long run treatment. Regardless of medical insurance expansion, hemodialyzing cost much expenses so that hospital has been considering the reuse of hemodialyzer and flowing euqipments along with the diverse study and progress of the ways of hemodialyzing and medical instruments. This study was aimed to provide the basic materials regarding the reuse of hemodialyzer which is used for the patients of chronic renal disease. The reusing program in the artificial kidney center of K hospital has been used for this study from 50 patients aften one year result from Sep. 1995 through Aug. 1996. Automatic equipment of DRS-4 made by Seratronic Co., was used as the equipment and it was retreated with the function test simultaneously. Compliaction and confirmation of the infection were by the records of the hemodialysis of the patients. SPSS was used for the analysis of the materials by computerization. The character of the patients and the rate of removal was by mistake and percentage, function test and rate of complication by Ftest(ANOVA) and the rate of complication per items by ${\chi}^2$ and Ftest. As the post test the Duncan's test was used for the statistically significant different variables in the standard of p<.05 after Ftest. The followings are the summary of the result : 1) In the function test of the new hemodialyzer and the reused one, and in all of CA110 and CF15.11, the dialyzer ultrafiltration coeffient(KUf) was appeared to have been higher in the reusing groups than the first use ones. This has been the normal limit showing no troubles with them. 2) In the function test of the new and reused hemodialyzer, in all of CA110 and CF15.11, the total blood volume was appeared to have been the less value in the reuse groups than the new ones. This was the price within 80% of the first price that both showed possible for use. 3) The result of reuse hemodialyzer of CA110 was $29.48{\pm}7.83$ in average in the test of leak test while $17.3{\pm}7.96$ in reuse of CF15.11. The normal limit of <60 was the leak test result. So both of the hemodialyzer was normal for reuse. 4) The rate of removal of Blood Urea Nitrogen(BUN) was 72.25% in CA110 hemodialyzer by reusing 16-20 times as the highest rate showing the better result in the reuse hemodialyzer, while in CF15.11 hemodialyzer showed 71.16% by highest rate in the first use by the highest rate with no difference from the reuse. 5) The rate of removal of serum creatinine of CA110 was 64.08% by highest rate in reuse of 1-5 times by showing better result in reuse hemodialyzer. While in CF15.11 66.47% the highest by reuse of 16-20 times showing no difference from each other. 6) No patients were admitted or precribed by antibiotics in relation with reuse dialyzer and no reports were shown about hepatitis $B{\cdot}C$. AIDS in fection. 7) Of the total 248 episods of complication due to the hemodialyzing, 86 by first use, 73 by 1-5 times, 35 by 6-10 times, 35 by 11-15 times and 19 by 16-20 times have been shown which have had no significant difference between the groups. 8) In the comparison of the expense for the hemodialyzer, there was the effect of saving 11,597.6 Won between the first and reuse hemodialyzer. And by decreasing the extracted materials, they did the great role of disposing the waste matters.

  • 건강은 개인과 가족의 행복, 그리고 국가 발전의 기본 조건이며 국민건강은 국력이다. 건강보호와 증진에 필수적인 의료서비스는 모든 국민이 누려야 할 기본권이며 국가는 이를 제공할 의무가 있다. 산업화로 환경오염의 심화, 국민생활수준의 향상, 생활양상의 변화, 노인 인구의 증가, 의료기술의 발달, 의료서비스에 대한 접근성 향상 등으로 감염성 질병은 감소 하고 암, 심장질환, 당뇨병과 같은 만성, 퇴행성 질환이 중요한 국민건강문제로 대두되었다. 이러한 질병들은 난치병으로 예방이 매우 중요하나 흡연, 음주, 운동, 스트레스 등 행태학적 요인이 중요한 위험인자이므로 예방을 위한 접근방법이 전염성 질병과는 다르다. 질병양상의 변화, 전국민건강보험의 도입, 의사와 의료기관의 증가로 의료공급량의 증가, 의료기술의 발달 등으로 의료이용량이 폭증하여 국민의료비가 연간 30조원을 넘어섰고, 앞으로 계속 증가할 전망이다. 정부는 국민건강수준을 향상하여 삶의 질을 높이는 것을 중요한 정책목표로 설정하였으며, 이를 위해 보건의료서비스 공급체계를 효율화하고 평생건강관리체계를 구축하고자 하였다. 이러한 목표달성을 위하여 공공보건사업을 강화하여 질병예방과 건강증진을 통하여 건강수준을 높이고, 질병치료에 필요한 의료비 증가를 억제해야한다. 주요 공공보건사업의 문제점은 공공보건사업을 위한 정책의 일관성 부재, 보건의료정보체계의 미비, 보건사업계획 및 평가의 합리성 결여, 보건요원의 업무수행능력 부족 등으로 보건사업이 비효율적으로 수행되어 자원이 낭비되고 있다. 지방자치제 하에서 광역자치단체는 능동적으로 보건시책을 세우고, 일선 보건요원들의 사없수행능력을 키우는 역할을 담당할 법적 의무가 있으므로 시 \ulcorner도보건과의 역할을 확대하고 기능을 강화해야 한다. 이를 위한 지방자치단체차원의 전략을 제시하면 다음과 같다. 광역자치단체 차원에서는 ${\circled}1$ 보건정책목표의 확립 : 평생건강관리체계 구축과 보건의료서비스 제공체계 효율화로 삶의 질 향상, ${\circled}2$ 보건사업기획 및 평가기능 강화, ${\circled}3$ 보건의료정보체계 및 주민건강/질병발생 감시체계 확립, ${\circled}41$ 보건요원의 훈련강화, ${\circled}5$ 건강증진센터(가칭) 설치 . 보건의료정보관리, 보건요원 훈련, 보건사업 기획 및 평가 업무담당, 그리고 ${\circled}6$ 지역대학과 협력체계 구축 등이다. 기초자치단체 차원에서는 ${\circled}1$ 보건소 기능의 재정립(전체 지역주민의 건강관리, 보건통계자료수집과 관리 및 주민건강/질병발생 감시, 지역보건사업 계획, 수행 및 평가, 안전하고 건강한 환경조성 및 식품위생관리, 취약계층을 위한 일차의료, 의약관리), ${\circled}2$ 보건소 조직 개편 및 민간의료기관과 협력체계 확립, ${\circled}3$ 전문인력 확보 및 인력구성 조정, 그리고 ${\circled}4$ 방문보건사업의 강화 등이다.
