  • The problem addressed by this study was to determine the effect of nurse - patient agreement on the means to achieve nursing goals in the early postpartum period of primiparous mothers. It was hypothesized that the experimental treatment would result in hegher self-confidence and satisfaction in maternal role performance. This purpose was to contribute to the planning of nursing care to enhance self- confidence and satisfaction in maternal role performance and to the development of relevant nursing theory. Especially, the early postpartum period is crucial toward in recovery from childbirth and attainment of the maternal role. Maternal role attaintment is a complex social and cognitive process of stimulus -response accomplished by learning. Most women attain the maternal role sucessfully. But, some primiparous mothers experience difficultites in attainment of the maternal role due to lack of experience and knowledge. Self-confidence and satisfaction in maternal role performance are important factors in attainment and adjustment to the maternal role (Mercer, 1981a, 1981b ; Lederman, Weigarten, and Lederman, 1981 :Bobak and Jensen, 1985). Nursing is defined as behaviors of nurses add patients that attain nursing goals through action, reaction, interaction, and transaction. For attainment of nursing goals, active participating transactions must occur by agreement on the means to achieve those goals through nurse -patient mutual goal setting and establishment of their active relationships(King, 1981, Ha, 1977). Based on King's theory of goal attainment (1981), this stuy was planned as a non-equivalent control group, non -synchronized quasi -experimental design using agreement on the means to achieve nursing goals in early postpartum as the experimental treatment. The data were collected from July 20 to Sep. 1, 1991 by questionnaires with 60 primiparous mothers planing to breast feed after normal deliveries at W hospital in Pusan, Korea. The subjects were divided into a control group(conventional group) -those admitted from July 20 to Aug. 12, and an experimental group(agreement group) - those admitted from Aug. 13 to Sep. 1. The instument for agreement on the means to nursing goals in the early postpartum period included five steps - identification of disturbances of problems through action, reaction, and interaction with primiparous mothers : mutual early postpartal nursing goal setting : exploration of the means to achieve goals ; agreement on the means (self- care, ealry maternal -infant contact, performance of mothering behavior, and communicating about the infant's behavior and health condition) : implementation of the means. This instrument was developed on the basis of King's elements that lead to transactions in nurse-patient interactions. Lederman et al's (1981) scale for Confidence in ability to cope with tasks of motherhood and Lederman et al's(1981) scale for Mother's satisfaction with motherhood and infant care were used to measure self-confidence and satisfaction in maternal role performance ·with the subjects immediately after admission and on the day of discharge. Self-care performance in the experimental group was measured by self -evaluation tool developed by the investigator from the literature concerned. The tools to measure Pelf-confidence and satisfaction in maternal role performance, and the tool to measure self-evaluation of self-care performance were tested for internal reliability. Cronbach's Alphas were 0.94, 0.94, and 0.63. The data were analysed by using in S.P.S.S. computerized program and included percentage, x²-test, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The conclusions obtained from this study are summerized as follows : 1. The degree of self-confidence in maternal role performance of the total subjects group measured before the experimental treatment was above average with a mean score of 2.77(range 2.14-3.64). Out of 14 items, those with relatively high mean scores were ‘I would like to be a better mother than I am’(3.95), and ‘I have my doubts about whether I am a good mother’(2.87). Those with low mean scores were ‘I know that my baby wants most of the times’(2.28), ‘When the baby cries, I can tell what she /he wants’(2.37), and ‘I have confidence in my ability to care for the baby’(2;50). That is, the self - confidence of Primiparous mothers was considerably high in mothering, but rather low in activities concerning the infant care and understanding of the infant behavior. The degree of satisfaction in maternal role performance of the total subjects group measured before the experimental treatment was high with a mean score of 3.18(range 1.92-3.92). Out of 13 items, those with relatively high mean scores were ‘I am glad 1 had this baby now’(3.75), ‘I play with the baby between feedings when s/he is awake and quiet’(3.67), and ‘I enjoy being a mother’(3.27). Those with low mean scores were ‘I am upset about having too many responsibilities as a mother’(2.78), ‘It bothers me to get up for the baby at night’(2.82), and ‘I get annoyed if the baby frequently interrupts my activities’.(2.82), That is, the satisfaction of primiparous mothers was considerably high in mothering and infant care, but rather low in restraints in time or on the mother's self accomplishment and development. 2. Agreement on the means to achieve nursing goals in the early postpartum period included process of mutual goal setting, exploration of the means to achieve goals, and ahreement in concert means to achieve goals based on the mothers' condition, concerns, self-perception of the nurse - patient interactions. In the process of agreement, there was agreement that the means to achieve goals should be through trust and establishment of active relationships with the nurse through identification of problems according to planned nursing goals and active interaction, such as explanations, teaching, changing of opinions, acceptance or rejection of explanations, and proposing of questions. Therefore agreement on the means to achieve nursing goals in the early postpartum period appears to be an effective nursing intervention for primiparous mothers. 3. The degree of self- confidence in maternal role performance of the exprimental group was higher than that of the control group(t=3.95, p<0.01). Out of 14 items, those with higher score in the experimental group were ‘I would like to be a better mother than I am’(t=1.93, p<0.05), ‘I know that my baby wants most of the times’(t=2.75, p<0.01), ‘When the baby cries, 1 can tell what she/he wants’(t=2.10, p<0.05), ‘I have confidence in my ability to care for the baby’(t=3.72, p<0.01), ‘I trust my own judement in deciding how to care for the baby’(t=1.96, p<0.05), ‘I feel that I know my baby and what to do for him /her’(t=2.44, p<0.01), ‘I am concerned about being able to meet the baby's needs’(t=2.87, p<0.01), ‘I know what my baby likes and dislikes’(t=3.26, p<0.01), ‘I don't know to care for the baby as well as I should’(t=2.07, p<0.05), and ‘I am unsure about whether I give enough attention to the baby’(t=3.04, p<0.01), That is, the degree of self-confidence in mothering, activities concerning infant care, and understanding of infant behavior of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. Therefore, the first hypothesis, that the degree of self-confidence in maternal role performance of the experimental group would be higher than that of the control group, was supported(t=3.95, p<0.01). 4. The degree of satisfaction in the maternal role performance of the exprimental group was higer than that or the control group(t=2.31, p<0.05). Out of 13 items, those with higher score in the experimental group were ‘I am glad I had this baby now’(t=2.29, p<0.05), ‘I enjoy taking care of the baby’(t=2.4g, p<0.01), ‘It is boring for me to care for the baby and do the same thing over and over’(t=2.87, P<0.01), ‘I am unhappy with the amount of time I have for activities other than childcare’(t=2.51, p<0.01), and ‘When bathing and diapering the baby, I would like to be doing something else’(t=2.43, p<0.01). That is, the degree of satisfaction in mothering, infant care, and restraints in time of on the mother's self accomplishment and development in the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. Therefore, the second hypothesis, that the degree of satisfaction in maternal role performance of the experimental group would be higher than that of the control group, was supported(t=2.31, p<0.05). 5. The third hypothesis, that the higher the degree of satisfaction in materenal role performance, the higher the degree of self-confidence in materenal role performance in the experimental group, was supported (r=0.57, p<0.01)

  • Objective: This study is to review the current state of services offered to pharmacy users, and develop a service design converging a prescription service and a smart phone application service in order to enhance patients' experience at pharmacies and home. Background: Under the new medical system; separation of prescribing and dispensing drugs, a doctor writes a prescription to their patients and patients have their prescription filled at the pharmacy. As the number of flue, allergy and atopy patients has increased, waiting lines have been longer at pharmacies. Besides, the current medical service system lacks of providing proper information on prescribed pills to patients. There are already services offered during waiting times such as offering free drinks, magazines or suggesting general drugs which you can buy without prescription, however they neither cover the current medical service's shorts nor shorten the waiting time. Method: I researched objective and perceived waiting times reduction methods, the current service status at pharmacies, and the government's policy direction in a medical service. Also, I observed a patient's journey from the hospital to pharmacy and then home. I examined the circumstance at pharmacies, patients' behaviors and their thoughts during their journey, and extracted three main goals to design a service in order to help patients have positive perception during the waiting time; (1) to reduce the perceived time by the way of visualizing time and offering readings about what patients consider necessary, (2) to educate patients what they are into and how to get through, (3) to establish trust among patients, doctors and pharmacists. Based on three goals, I designed a structure and a wireframe for a new service application of smart phones. Results: With a new service design for pharmacy users, users can track their medical record and visit the information about their current medical treatments anytime. Also the service helps patients build reliable relationships with doctors and pharmacists. Conclusion: Experience is not just an activity but series of multiple activities. The serving range of a medical service should not be determined by stakeholders but user's holistic experience. By approaching a service design with a holistic vision, it can enrich not only a temporary experience but also a whole life well being. Application: Since there are already many service applications advising patients about their illness and finding right doctors, this service design is focused on the experience from getting a prescription till feeling better. The next move is to combine those two parts medical services and design an integrated service application. As a prescription is going to be coded in numbers, we might consider to design an un-attended pharmacy which can shorten huge amount of time for filling prescriptions.

  • The universe has its order of yang and yin : all creation are continuously generated, grow and die, which is the results of the harmonious operation by yang and yin. Among all creation, the human is one of the samjae(three bases of the world, which are heaved earth, and man) and he is from the combined sukhi(a superior khi) of yang and yin. And human life itself is basically a condensed jonghyul (life blood) and at the same time it is only a transient joining of sadae(the four elements of earth, air, fire and water). Yang and yin, the two axes of the world, therefore. are the most crucial and fundamental concept to explain the generation and extinction of alt creation, to understand people in time and space. to find out the reality of human life as an organism, and, at last, to observe the state of human health. If so, what is the most essential idea in yang and yin\ulcorner It is taegeuk(chungkhi) or tao(of one yang and one yin). If the property of heaven and earth is kongon, taegeuk is a khi and tao a principle. And it can be said that a human body is merely a union of hyung and khi, that human life is an essence of sambo, jeongkhishin, that human health is a harmoninzed coordination of yang and yin because it is from the combined sukhi of yang and yin. Hyung. a vessel for sambo, jeongkhishin, is at the bottom and shin is on the top : the personality and the disposition of individuals differ according to their working. Thus. on the basis of the above discussion. the following can be offered as some suggestions for Korean Nursing Theory. Though human beings are part of Nature, they are the most eminent microcosm among all creation. So, as a subjet for nursing, a person should be understood with khijok kyoryu rather than with logical thinking, then mutual trust between the patient and the nurse can be established. The health of a person depends on the harmony of yang and yin. To be healthy, a person should consider harmonization with Nature(including his surroundings) as well as a balanced human relationships in society. Moreover, it is crucial for each person to obtain hoshim as a method of mind control rather than to only treat the symptoms of disease.

  • 건강과 의료에 관심 이 높아지면서 의료수요는 날로 증가하게 되었고 이에 따르는 의료분쟁 또한 증가하는 추세이다. 교정치료와 관련하여 현재 급증하고 있는 의료사고 및 의료분쟁 사항을 조사하여 예방 및 대응책을 마련하고자 대한 치과교정학회주관으로 인정의위원회에서는 30항의 설문지를 작성하였고 1998년 7월에 교정학회 회원 2,200명을 대상으로 교정치료시 의료사고 유형 파악 및 예방을 위한 설문조사를 시행하였다. 그 내용은 의료사고나 분쟁을 경험한 회원들의 인적사항을 포함한 관련사항, 의료사고와 관련된 환자의 인적사항 및 의료사고 원인 및 해결방법, 회원들의 교정치료와 관련된 주의사항, 의무기록 작성 및 보관 등에 관한 사항이었으며 그 결과를 바탕으로 교정과 영역에서의 의료사고 및 의료분쟁의 성격 분석을 하였다. 현재의 상황에서 언제 어디서 일어날지 모르는 의료사고나 의료분쟁을 예방하거나 방지하는 것이 의료분쟁이 발생한 후 해결하는 것보다 더 중요하다. 이를 위해서는 환자와 의사간의 신뢰를 바탕으로 진료기술의 숙련도를 높이고 발전하는 새로운 의학 정보를 얻는데 게으르지 말아야하며 진단, 치료과정, 치료의 후유증, 위험성에 관한 자세한 설명을 통하여 환자 스스로 치료여부를 결정할 수 있는 의료환경을 만들어 나가야할것이며 환자를 대하는데 주의를 기울이며 가장 기본적인 진료기록부 작성과 관리에 관심을 가져야 할 것이다. 교정학회차원에서도 의료사고와 분쟁의 예방과 대응책에 관한 교육프로그램과 의료사고와 분쟁이 발생할 경우 도움을 줄 수 있는 대책이나 기구 등을 마련하여야할 것이다.

  • 빅데이터 처리기술의 발전과 함께 보건의료 빅데이터의 잠재적 가치도 크게 주목받고 있다. 그리고 이러한 잠재적 가치를 현실화하기 위해서는 보건의료 빅데이터를 이용한 다양한 연구가 필수적이다. 하지만 개인정보보호법을 중심으로 한 빅데이터 규제체계는 경제재로서의 빅데이터의 측면을 고려하지 못하고 있어, 이를 연구목적으로 활용하는데 많은 장애를 발생시키고 있다. 환자의 치료라는 1차적 목적을 중심으로 한 보건의료정보의 규제체계를 기술의 발전에 부합하며 공익적 활용이 용이한 형태로 개선시켜야 한다. 이를 위해서 개인정보의 보호와 활용의 균형에 대한 고민이 반영된 해외의 법제 동향을 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 해외 법제의 시사점을 바탕으로 우리 법제에서 다음과 같은 방향의 개선점을 도출할 수 있다. 우선 보건의료정보에 특화되고 보호와 활용을 아우르는 법제가 필요하다. 개인정보의 비식별화도 개인정보보호법의 적용이 배제되는 수준을 명확하게 규정해야 한다. 보건의료 빅데이터를 연계할 수 있는 법적 기반의 구축을 통해 관련 연구에 시너지 효과를 창출해야 한다. 외국에서의 논의에 대한 검토와 사회적 합의를 바탕으로 옵트아웃 제도의 도입도 고려해야 한다. 하지만 무엇보다 중요한 것은 이러한 시스템에 대한 국민의 신뢰일 것이다.

  • 사회의 특정 영역에서 발생하는 범죄행위에 대해 그 영역의 특수성으로 인하여 동일한 일반 범죄행위보다 더 중한 비난을 가해야 한다는 것이 일반적인 사회인식일 것이다. 특히 환자의 신체와 생명을 위한다는 목적을 고려해볼 때, 의료인과 환자 사이의 신뢰관계가 의료영역의 기본적 구조로 요구되는 점을 고려해볼 때, 환자에 대한 의료인의 성범죄 행위는 일반인의 그것과 동일선상에 위치시킬 수는 없다. 하지만 이를 형사법적 제재를 통해 해결하려는 입법적 태도는 결코 바람직 하지 않다. 형벌을 전제하는 형법의 기본 원칙은 보충성의 원칙이다. 가능한 모든 수단을 통해 해결하려고 노력한 후 가장 마지막으로 형벌을 가지고 개입하라는 의미이다. 의료라는 특별영역에서 존재하는 특수성에 대한 고려 없이 일률적으로, 편의적으로 성급히 개입하려는 입법적 태도는 해당 영역에서 심각한 균열을 일으킬 것이다. 또한 법체계적 정형성을 무너뜨려 법적용 실무상에서도 바람직한 결과를 기대할 수 없을 것이다. 오히려 행정적 규제가 형벌적 제재보다 효율적이다. 하지만 가장 최선의 방법은 의료영역 해당 구성원들에 의한 자율적 통제이다. 형벌은 가장 마지막에 개입해야하고, 행정적 제재는 그 다변화를 통해 구체적 상황에 효율적으로 개입할 수 있어야 한다. 결론적으로 이러한 국가의 개입은 의료영역이 자율적 통제로 나아갈 수 있도록 가장 멀리 서 있어야 할 것이다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 전자건강기록(EHR) 시스템을 통해 환자 개인의 의료정보가 활용되고 공유되는 데에 있어, 사람들이 정보 프라이버시 염려를 갖게 되는 요인은 무엇이며, 프라이버시 침해에 대해 어떠한 대처 전략을 취하고 시스템에 대한 수용 여부는 어떻게 나타나는지 살펴보는 데에 있다. 이를 위해 근거이론 연구방법을 통해 의료기관 방문 경험자들을 대상으로 심층 인터뷰를 수행하여 근거자료를 수집한 후, 의료정보 프라이버시 염려에 대한 근거이론을 구성하고 패러다임 모형을 도출하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 의료정보 프라이버시 염려 발생 요인, 의료정보 프라이버시 염려, 의료정보 프라이버시 침해에 대한 대응 전략, EHR 시스템의 수용 여부에 관한 총체적인 설명이 가능한 근거이론 모형을 개발하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면, 의료정보에 대한 민감성과 기술의 발전이 의료정보 프라이버시 염려를 유발하고, 의사와 기술에 대한 신뢰도에 따라 연구 참여자 사이에 프라이버시 침해 대응 전략과 EHR 시스템 도입에 관한 입장이 달라진다. 지금까지 국내에서 EHR 시스템에 초점을 두고 의료정보 프라이버시에 대한 심층적인 분석을 수행한 연구가 없기 때문에 본 연구는 학술적으로 기여하는 바가 있고, 프라이버시 염려를 완화시킬 수 있는 실질적인 방안을 제시한다는 점에서 실무적 함의가 있다.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine what types of experiences dental hygienists underwent with patients who were unapproachable in an effort to find out the latter group's needs and expectations, explore how to treat them of different personality type, and provide better dental services in response to their needs. To attain the purpose, Q-methodology was employed, which made a subjective and systematic assessment of human subjectivity. There were three types of subjectivity among dental hygienists in conjunction with their experiences with patients who were hard to please. Each group whose subjectivity was different also had a different preference for patients, which was not exclusive to one another but unique. Type 1 was "avoiding patients who showed off". Dental hygienists of this type found it unpleasant to treat patients who boasted of their background, position or relations with the head of hospital and wanted to be given special treatment. They avoided those patients, since giving special treatment to specific patients was likely to do damage to others. They believed that better medical services could be provided through mutual concern and good manners between medical personnels and patients. Dental hygienists of type 2 considered it hard to treat patients who were picky and looked at treatment or its outcome negatively. Those who had to be separated from others on account of possible cross-infection or who called for special decontamination methods of dental instruments were also difficult to deal with. Dental hygienists of this type could be said to "avoid picky patients", as they preferred to fare with patients by offering good, faithful treatment rather than by giving special treatment. Dental hygienists of type 3 believed that smooth and successful treatment hinged on mutual trust, confidence and collaboration between medical personnels and patients. According to them, patients who choose a specific hospital or a particular medical team at their own option have to cooperate if necessary, listen carefully to medical personnels and treat them without any hostility or bias. Therefore, they could be said to "avoid patients who were not cooperative".

  • According to the changes of the medical environment of the times, it is necessary to discuss the issues of the doctor's medical guidance and to conduct continuous research so that alternatives can be prepared systematically. Furthermore, in order to enhance the professionalism of radiological technologists and to develop the medical technician system, the new Radiological Technologist Independent Act has been established, which contains the overall contents of the scope of work, professional qualifications, and specialized education of radiological technologists, and provides quality medical services to patients through professional procedures and treatment. In order to increase the level of medical care, the purpose, definition, mission, role, and scope of work specified in the Medical Act, Medical Service Technologists, etc. Act, the Enforcement Decree, and the Enforcement Rules were variously analyzed and new directions were presented. First, the definition of a medical technician should use a generic term so that the factors of conflict and prejudice could be resolved. Second, change the doctor's guide to doctor's prescription; and then legislate the authority to sign and write medical records after examination by radiological technologists, thereby prohibiting unlicensed technicians that seriously endanger patient safety. Third, an accurate definition of radiological technologists' roles should be established; not only selection and management of radiological technologists' work but also procedures and treatment for each radiology field should be specified to suit the current medical system. Fourth, a professional radiological technologists' qualification system and a specialized education system should be established in order to secure human resources that could provide patients trust in procedures and treatment based on professional knowledge and experience in the field of radiology. Fifth, the Education and Evaluation Institute should be operated in Korea education system to educate the professional knowledge and competency for students. In addition, it is necessary to in-depth analysis of foreign cases could be applied to the medical system and education system in Korea; it could strive to nurture systematic human resources.
