본 연구의 목적은 치과적 외상이 있는 소아청소년 입원환자의 치과 협진 의뢰에 대한 본원의 현황을 분석하고 발전 방향을 모색하는 것이다. 이에 2011년 3월부터 2017년 2월까지 6년간 원주세브란스기독병원 의과에 입원한 소아청소년 환자의 치과 협진 의뢰에 대한 후향적 분석을 하였다. 조사 항목으로 협진 의뢰 주소와 치과적 진단명, 협진 의뢰과, 치과적 외상 후 협진 의뢰 시기, 입원 기간과 치과적 외상 후 협진 의뢰 시기의 관계, 외상으로 의과에 입원하는 것과 치과적 외상 발생의 관계, 치과적 외상의 원인과 발생 나이, 치과적 외상에 대한 치료, 치과적 외상 환자의 퇴원 후 치과 외래 재내원 등이 있었다. 협진 의뢰 주소와 치과적 진단명에서 치과적 외상이 차지하는 비율이 가장 높았고, 협진 의뢰과는 외과 계열의 진료과가 가장 높은 비율을 보였다. 입원 기간과 치과적 외상 후 협진 의뢰 시기는 양의 상관 관계를 보였다. 외상을 이유로 의과에 입원하는 것과 치과적 외상 발생은 통계적으로 유의하게 연관이 있었고, 교통 사고로 인해 의과에 입원한 환자의 경우 100% 치과적 외상이 동반되었다. 입원실에서 발생한 치과적 외상 환자의 나이는 유의하게 적었다. 치과적 외상과 입원 중 치료, 치과적 외상과 퇴원 후 치과 외래 재내원은 각각 통계적으로 유의한 연관이 없었다. 교통 사고에 의해 의과에 입원한 소아청소년 환자에 대해서 치과적 외상이 동반될 가능성이 크고, 치과 협진 의뢰 시기가 지연될 수 있다. 어린 소아 환자의 경우 입원실에서 치과적 외상의 발생 가능성이 크다. 또한, 치과적 외상 환자의 입원 중 치료와 퇴원 후 치과 외래 재내원이 잘 이루어지지 않고 있다. 이와 같은 결과들에 대해 협진 의뢰 체계의 개선, 입원 병동 내 전담 인력 배치와 치과 시설 및 장비 구비, 의과 주치의에 대한 교육, 주치의 간의 원활한 의사소통 등이 대안이 될 수 있다. 본 연구는 의과와 치과의 교육 및 연구 자료로 활용되어 치과적 외상이 있는 소아청소년 입원환자의 치과 협진 의뢰에 관한 발전에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the counseling status of overseas Koreans using emergency medical counseling services, identify frequently occurring types of diseases, explore approaches to emergency treatment guidance, and protect overseas Koreans from medical blind spots, thereby enhancing the quality of emergency medical counseling services. Methods: This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Kongju National University (KNU_IRB_2023-31), and data were collected and analyzed from 10,951 cases of emergency medical counseling services utilized by overseas Koreans from the National Fire Agency from 2018 to 2022. Results: Emergency medical consultation services for overseas Koreans included a majority of non-trauma patients, with medical consultations being predominant. Terrestrial patients commonly seek advice for internal medical symptoms, whereas maritime patients frequently present with trauma-related symptoms, with a higher incidence of cardiac arrest and altered consciousness cases at sea. The development of self-diagnostic tests based on internal medicine symptoms is necessary for terrestrial patients, whereas stakeholder education is required for maritime patients. Conclusion: Due to the different types of diseases occurring in terrestrial and maritime patients, emergency medical consultation services for overseas Koreans should be implemented according to the specific characteristics of each patient. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and disseminate response manuals that are tailored to medical and trauma-related symptoms.

연구목적 타과 입원 중 정신건강의학과에 자문 의뢰된 초로기와 노년기 환자의 특징에는 어떠한 차이가 있는지 알아보기 위하여 연구를 실시하였다. 방 법 일 대학병원 정신건강의학과에 자문 의뢰된 타과 입원환자 중 50세부터 64세 범위의 초로기 환자(N=162)와 65세 이상의 노년기 환자(N=171)의 자문기록지를 비교분석하였다. 결 과 1) 정신건강의학과 자문의 주소는 초로기에 신체증상, 불안, 수면장애 순, 노년기에 인지저하, 의식혼탁, 우울한 기분 순으로 많았다. 2) 자문 결과에 의한 정신의학적 진단명은 초로기에 섬망, 기분장애, 물질사용장애순, 노년기에 섬망, 기분장애, 주요 신경인지장애 순으로 많았다. 3) 신체질환 치료제의 수는 초로기보다 노년기에 더 많았다. 결 론 정신건강의학과 자문의 특성은 초로기와 노년기 환자에서 차이가 있었으므로, 노인정신의학 자문 활동에 있어서 더욱 세분화된 노인 연령층별 접근이 필요하다고 제시된다.

Objectives : To review a Tanzanian medical engineering education program and determine improvement measures for the Official Development Assistance (ODA) healthcare projects. Methods : A consultation of the Tanzanian medical engineering education program funded by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRFK) was reviewed. An on site survey, an environmental analysis, and in-depth interviews were performed. Results : Survey results highlighted a lack of medical device education and the low operating rate of medical equipment. The need to establish educational program was thus confirmed. The expansion of healthcare facilities appeared to be limited within the current medical management system. A master coursework plan for Tanzania medical engineering was developed. Conclusions : The needs of medical engineering education were recognized. A plan and curriculum were developed. The medical engineering education program should be planned and budgeted prior to the ODA healthcare program.

Globally, medical tourism draws attention as a national growth engine industry, and is actively expanding. Current medical tourism leans towards large hospitals making it difficult to attract new users. Users collect the information for medical tourism through various paths in order to receive medical consultations and customized tour services. To expand medical tourism to small and medium sized hospitals, it is necessary to have customized medical consultations, tours and interpreter services, which are the key elements of medical tourism. This paper suggests services that users can use to match medical consultations and find tours and interpreters they want at the same time. This paper suggests ways to provide integrated services based on the information experienced by users, combining the required items from the perspectives of each user, hospital and guide. To match the content provided by hospitals and guides with experience information from users systematically, this study suggests the convergence plan for a service model that can match the experience information between users and hospitals, between users and guides and between hospitals and guides systematically by operating the data in the universal container.

The purpose of this study is to analyze that ICT-based primary health care affects clinical changes of participants in the primary care chronic disease management pilot project using ICT medical care. Customized health information data, provided by National Health Insurance Service, was used for the analysis. The study targeted a total of 676 people that participated in primary care chronic disease management pilot project using ICT medical care from 2017 to 2018. Hierarchical regression was used to test three model. First, there were many subjects who used face-to-face consultation and non-face-to-face consultation(messaging), but less than half of patients using non-face-to-face consultation(telephone). Second, after participating in the pilot project, the fasting blood sugar level decreased. Third, the clinical condition of the subjects appeared to be an important factor in controlling blood sugar levels. Finally, patients using the non-face-to-face consultation(messaging) had reduced blood sugar levels after participating in the project. This results imply that non-face-to-face consultation is effective in reducing fasting blood sugar level with hospital intervention, and there are effects of the primary care chronic disease management project using ICT.

In Korea, nutritional services have not been included in the periodic medical examinations for employees. Naturally, the practice of individual dietary treatment, or nutrition education, has not yet been implemented, specifically for employees who are expected to encounter health problems. This study was designed to evaluate the necessity and development of nutritional consultations during medical examinations of employees and of worksite nutrition programs. One hundred and five employees from three companies were chosen as subjects for this study. As a result, the average intake of nutrients were found to be sufficient for male employees but female employees were found to be deficient in their intake of total calories, calcium, iron, vitamins A and $B_2$. Also, most of employees did not recognize their own blood cholesterol levels, blood pressure, or blood sugar level. Many employees thought that they needed nutritional consultation during periodic medical examinations and during worksite nutrition programs that also include programs for the whole family. According to the results, clinics for weight control were urgently demanded among several nutrition programs. It should be noted that weight problems, high blood cholesterol levels, diabetes, and other health problems were frequently found in companies whose employees had relatively minimal knowledge about nutrition information. In an effort to prevent disease, the worksite nutrition programs and other nutritional services for employees are critical. This study, therefore, suggests to include nutritional services in medical examinations and to develop efficient worksite nutrition programs.
