약침행위는 한방의료에서 행하여져 오던 침구요법과 약물요법을 결합한 요법으로 최근에 특히 교통사고 환자를 중심으로 한방의료에서 행하여져 오고 있다. 하지만 약침행위에 사용되는 약제가 무엇인지도 분명하지 않으며 약침행위가 어떠한 효능을 가지고 있으며 어떠한 부작용의 위험이 있는지에 대해서도 거의 알려진 바가 없다. 우리나라에서는 양방의료와 한방의료를 구분하여 규율하고 있으며 양자의 규율방식 또한 상이하다. 특히 새로운 의료기술이 개발된 경우 엄격한 임상시험절차를 거쳐 정당한 의료행위로 허가되는 양방의료의 경우와는 달리 한방의료는 그와 같은 절차가 존재하지 아니한다. 한편 <의료법>상 무면허 의료행위는 의료면허가 없는 자가 의료행위를 하는 경우 뿐만 아니라 의료면허가 있는 의료인이 자신의 면허영역 이외의 의료행위를 하는 경우도 포함하고 있다. 따라서 양방의료와 한방의료의 경계가 무엇인가에 대한 논의는 매우 중요한 논의 중 하나이다. 의료행위가 면허에 의하여 허가되며 보호받는 이유 중 가장 큰 것은 의료행위 자체가 가지고 있는 인간의 생명 신체에 대한 침해 가능성 때문이다. 새로운 의료행위가 출현한 경우, 그것이 양방의료의 영역이건 한방의료의 영역이건 정당화의 근거로 인간의 생명 신체에 대한 위험성을 항상 고려하여야 한다. 현재 이루어지는 약침행위는 아직 그러한 검증을 거치지 아니한 것으로 판단된다.

"Uibanghappyeon(醫方合編)" is a large-scale medical formulary with "Samuiilheombang(三意一驗方)" and "Chon-gagugeupbang(村家救急方)" at its core, combined with personal experience of the compiler and various pieces of fragmentary knowledge. This book was brought into existence through the cumulation of numerous folk medicinal remedies and cannot be considered a work of professional expertise. The historic worth of this book in medicine can be found in the fact that it has kept the tradition of empirical medicine based on first sia alive, in fusing the practice of late Joseon(朝鮮) empirical prescriptions, as can be seen in "Samuiilheombang(三意一驗方)", and the practice of empirical medicine, as can be seen in "Chon-gagugeupbang(村家救急方)", together.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the types of nursing problems in oriental nursing practice. Methods: This study employed a descriptive survey design. Nursing documentation was retrospectively reviewed for patients discharged from an oriental medicine hospital during three months. Nursing diagnoses documented were mapped into the Clinical Care Classification System. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics. Results: Data were collected from 110 patients using nursing documentation. The number of nursing diagnoses documented was 204 with a mean of 1.9 per patient. The frequently occurring nursing diagnoses were 'risk for trauma' (48.0%), 'pain' (13.7%), and 'urinary elimination alteration' (7.8%). According to the Clinical Care Classification system, the safety component (51.5%) was the most common nursing problem in oriental nursing practice.

Objectives : The lawsuits associated with medical practice in Korean medicine are increasing gradually. However, the clear definition for medical practice in Korean medicine has not been existed in Korean law. Only we may understand the concept regulated by judicial precedents of the court of justice or the authoritative interpretation by the government. Methods : For study, a database was established for medical lawsuits involving Korean medicine(1968~2009, n=130). Results : According to court rulings, the medical practice in Korean medicine is an act to diagnose a person's illness, prescribe and treat to cure based on traditional Korean medicine, to be understood as a medical care, to have some factor to create or increase danger for the preservation of health or hygiene, and to be practiced by medical specialists based on their professional knowledge. Conclusions : But, such definition is not proper and exceedingly vague. Besides medical circumstances Koreans Medicine are changing, and new precedent to the definition of the practice of medicine is establishing. Therefore the meaning and scope of the medical practice in Korean medicine should be modified and amended, reflecting these conditions.

About the motivation using Oriental medicine, the reason for activation of pharmacy management was 39.7%, second, the reason for resolving the limitation of treatment over western medicine was 25.9%. Oriental medicine for patients was mainly administered by recommendation with pharmacist (65.5%). In comparison with after and before the separation of prescribing and dispensing, 51.7% of subjects answered that sale volume was decreased after the separation. Concerning the ratio of total sales volume to Oriental medicine within 5 years, 50% of subjects expected that sales volume will increase positively. About treating Oriental medcine, 34.5% of subjects thought the problem is the regulation by limiting 100 kinds of formulary. The most important factor for increasing Oriental medicine selling amount was continueous education for various information of oriental medicine in case of 44.8% of sujects. The best pharmacy to handle oriental medicine was community pharmacy (36.2%). It was expressed the reason why many pharmacists have not been treated oriental medicine because lots of time needs for dispensing prescription from clinics in these 4 years after the separation of prescribing and dispensing.
