This study was conducted to determine whether follow-up management is carried out continuously following CQI activity and to analyze the factors behind the success and failure of follow-up management. Past presentations from 1994-1999 of CQI coordinators and lecturers from various institutions who presented at The Korean Society of Quality Assurance in Health Care(KoSQA) on the conditions of follow-up management in each institution were analyzed. The results of this study were as follows; Since the number of subjects on CQI increased each year at symposiums, this has expanded to all medical institutions. Although medical institutions usually conduct 11-20 subjects on CQI per year, there were many such occasions where more than 31 subjects were conducted. Moreover, institutions with less than 800 beds have come up with more projects than those with more than 800 beds, thus 23.3% of these institutions had at least 1 person involved in 4 projects. This had created an overload of responsibilities for specific persons' involvement, prompting them to incline toward formalities in their work rather than substantial activities. Among the projects presented at the symposiums, 51.7% demonstrated that follow-up management could be carried out. In particular, 55.3% of the projects from provincial regions could carry out follow-up management compared to 48.8% in Seoul. Moreover, it was demonstrated that 80% of the projects from institutions with 600-799 beds carried out follow-up management most effectively. With regards to previous presentations, the older they were, it was found that follow-up management could not be effectively carried out. Some institutions that responded that follow-up management was carried out effectively in their institutions were found to have conducted follow-up management without any inspection strategies or the appropriate tools. CQI activities were executed and terminated with no consistency and team members had no real concern for it. The most important factors that contribute to an effective follow-up management are the need for concern and interest from the directors of the hospitals, from the relevant departments and team members in addition to the role of the supervising department, follow-up management through management of target goals, consistency in tasks along with communication between all team members. The biggest problems were perceived to be overload of work due to accumulation of proposed projects in addition to lack of awareness pertaining to follow-up management. CQI is beneficial for all staff for the improvement of the mind and business administration and thus it is believed to be desirable. To carry out follow-up management effectively, leadership, analysis and application of information, follow-up management and planning, as well as quality management are perceived to be essential, on the other hand, the results showed a significant difference. To prevent CQI activities from becoming just an activity, the basic system should be reconstructed and augmented based on the problems derived from the results of this study. Moreover, we hope this study will be used as reference material that would encourage the administration of follow-up management after CQI activities in most hospitals. Furthermore, various studies on follow-up management should be conducted for CQI activities in the future.

학교구강보건실 운영여부에 따라 초등학교 아동의 구강상태의 차이를 파악하여 학교구강보건사업을 지속적으로 발전시키기 위한 기초 자료를 제시하고자 실시한 본 연구는 사업군으로 화성시의 화산초등학교 아동1163명과 대조군은 동일 지역권 내의 S 초등학교 아동 485명을 대상으로 2004년 5월1일부터 5월 30일 까지 구강검사를 시행하였고 자료를 이용하여 얻어낸 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 영구치 우식경험율은 두 군 모두에서 학년이 증가할수록 높아지며 특히 대조군에서 더 높고 사업군은 45%이며 대조군은 65%로 사업군이 낮게 조사되었다. 2. 우식경험영구치율도 두 군 모두에서 학년이 증가할수록 높아지는 경향이며 그 비율이 대조군에서 더 높고 사업군은 30.%이며 대조군은 44.0%로 사업군이 낮게 조사되었다. 3. 우식경험 영구치 지수는 사업군은 1.0개 대조군은 1.6개로 사업군이 낮고 1학년에서 6학년까지의 증가율도 사업군에서 훨씬 양호하였다. 4. 우식영구치율은 1학년 때에는 사업군에서 약간 높았던 것이 학년이 높아질수록 사업군에서 비교적 낮아지며 6학년에서는 사업군 42.0% 대조군 87.0%로 대조군보다 사업군에서 거의 50%이상 낮게 조사되었다. 5. 처치영구치율은 1학년 때에는 대조군에서 약간 높은 경향이었으나 학년이 높아질수록 사업군에서 높아지는 경향을 보이다가 6학년에서는 사업군에서 2배 이상 높았다. 이상의 결과를 검토한 결과 사업군에서 구강보건 상태가 매우 양호하게 나타났다. 이는 학교구강보건실 운영을 통하여 아동들에게 적기에 구강보건관리를 실시해 줌으로써 구강질환을 미리 예방하고 학생의 구강보건 지식과 태도 및 행동을 변화시켜 나타난 결과로 사료되는바 학교구강보건실을 점차적으로 확대 설치하여 학령기 아동에게 계속적으로 포괄적 구강보건예방 사업을 실행할 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 전문인력인 치과위생사를 적극 활용하여 아동들의 구강건강을 증진시켜야 할 것이며 또한 예방업무와 구강보건교육을 강화하기 위해서는 각 행정단위별로 배치되어 있는 공중보건치의사와 치과위생사를 적극 활용하여 구강건강관리를 최고에 달할 수 있도록 하여야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 자기기입식 설문조사를 통해 농약살포를 대부분 담당하는 남성 농민들에 대하여, 농부증을 포함한 만성증상과 농약살포시의 이상증상경험, 이상증상 경험시 살포한 농약, 농약살포시의 안전수칙 준수, 보호구의 착용실태, 가족 중 농약으로 인한 사고경험을 조사하고, 농약노출과 연관된 변수들간의 연관성, 급성중독경험 및 만성증상과 관련된 요인을 고찰하였다. 만성증상으로는 '몸이 나른하고 힘이 없다', '허리가 아프다'. '밤중에 소변을 보기 위해 깬다' 등의 증상이 많았으며, 농약살포 시의 임상증상 경험율은 '피부발진/가려움증', '어지러움/두통'의 경우가 가장 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 조사 대상자의 7.1%가 가족중 농약으로 인한 사고경험이 있는 것으로 조사되었으며, 이중 농약살포시 중독, 안전사고 및 자살사례를 확인할 수 있었다. 농약살포 시의 준수사항 중, '뿌린 후 목욕을 한다'와 '뿌린 후 바로 옷을 갈아입는다' 등의 경우가 준수율이 높았으나, '보호구를 잘 세탁해서 보관한다', '뿌린 후 용변을 볼 경우 손을 씻는다', '한낮에는 뿌리지 않는다' 등의 경우는 낮은 준수율을 보였다. 농약살포시 보호구는 '물에 타서 살포할 경우', '입제를 살포할 경우'에 비해 보호구를 더 잘 착용하였으며, 착용율은 모자, 장화, 마스크, 장갑, 방제복 하의의 순이었다. 농약살포시 이상증상경험과 관련된 요인은 농약살포시 준수사항 준수, 살포시간, 과수재배, 경작면적, 연간 농약살포일 등이었으며, 농민의 만성증상과 관련된 관련된 요인은 농약살포시 이상증상 경험, 경작면적, 농사경력, 농약살포시 준수사항 준수, 전업여부, 농약에 대한 노출 등이었다. 본 연구결과를 통해 농약살포시 준수사항의 준수율과 보호구 착용율을 높이며 농약으로 인한 안전사고를 방지하기 위한 체제적인 교육 및 홍보가 필요함을 알 수 있다. 또한, 농약에 대한 노출이 농민의 만성증상의 한 원인이라는 결론을 내리기는 어려우나, 원인적 연관성일 가능성을 배재할 수는 없을 것으로 생각되며, 따라서, 농약노출을 정확히 산출하고, 좀더 명확한 건강영향의 생물학적 지표(biological marker)를 측정하여 이들의 연관성을 고찰하는 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.

South Korea's industrial injuries are decreasing overall in the last 32 years. Nevertheless, the fatal occupational injury rate is still higher than in developed countries. This study was conducted to help prevention strategies of occupational injuries for the Republic of Korea. Fatal occupational injury rates were obtained from "Industrial Accident Analysis"of the Korean Ministry of Labor. Poisson regression was used to assess time trends. Socioeconomic indicators were obtained from the Korea Labor Institute and the Statistics Korea. Fatal occupational injury rates were adjusted by year, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between the socio-economic indicators and occupational injuries. In 1975, fatal occupational injury rate was 54.8 per 100,000 workers. With somewhat up and down, it was decreased to 21.0 in 2006. An annual rate of change for the years 1975-2006 was - 1.83%, and for the years 2002-2006 was -5.02%. As economic growth rate, paricipation rate for the age less than 25 and hours of work per week or year increased, fatal occupational injury rate also increased. Conversely, as GDP per capita, paricipation rate or employment rate for female, paricipation rate for the age 25 or more, hourly compensation costs for production workers and services output as percent of GDP increased, fatal occupational injury rate decreased. By the development of safety techniques and the adoption of more legislative constraints, developed economy reduce occupational injuries. Conversely, economic growth may raise occupational injuries. Therefore, prevention strategies are needed to manage both of them. We need to make an effort to prevent occupational injuries due to not only sexual differences, but also job differences between male and female. Preventive strategies are needed to consider the characteristics of younger workers. Addition to wage, other appropriate variables for work condition should be considered together. Extending work hours is need to be regulated with systemic methods.

The purpose of this study is to design strategic hospital service based on each hospital's features. For this study, an assessment was conducted by 398 in-patents of one university hospital located in Seoul. The self-questionnaires, which were investigated from Oct. 15th to 29th in 2008, compared central reception desk with ward reception desk in satisfaction and re-use rate of patients. The major results of this study are as follow. First, according to each reception desk user, they have different satisfaction of it. As for the staff kindness, admission procedure, discharge procedure and manner of staff, those made patients be gratified as well. Second, when it comes to the intention of re-use, there were no significant features between them. Only convenience in admission and discharge procedure, however, was an attractive factor for the recommendation. Third, this study found out the reasons for higher re-use rate of central reception desk users. Regarding service, they were contented with the time for test and treatment. As for the hospital service, they would like to re-use this hospital because of convenient steps of paying interim fee and getting certificates. Forth, this study found out the reasons for higher re-use rate of ward reception desk users. As a point of hospital service view, they responded that respected privacy, hospital facility and general service were good for staying. As for the manner of staff, they mentioned nurses and staff in charge and whole staff members were kind. When it comes to the procedures of patient management, steps of discharge and paying interim fee were convenience. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that providing a ward reception desk service can boost the satisfaction and re-use rate of in-patients. Furthermore, this strategic management method would be good for not only cutting the moving line but also efficient in-patient care system. These results can be used for the strategic hospital marketing field, as well. Even though this study has a limitation of the targeted populations which were only in a ward reception desk running hospital, it can say that having competitiveness in satisfaction of hospital service is good for promoting and differencing each hospital. Consequently, whole general management system would be adjusted first for differencing each hospital; however, this sort of additional factor should be concerned as well. I expect that this study would give meaningful data for designing strategic and differencing marketing method to lots of hospitals.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality in medical records by analyzing its completeness through setting up the level of record on the patient's past history and through examining the actual medial records. Targeting the information on the patient's past history in interns' records, residents' records and nurses' records toward 403 inpatients who were admitted first in 2004 at an university hospital due to stomach cancer. We analyzed whether the charts were recorded or not, recording level, the satisfaction with the expectant level of the records in the hospital targeted for a research and the level of agreement. The results were as follows; first, as for the rate of recording those each items, they were high in the chief complaint & present illness and the past illness history. Depending on the group of recorders, the recording rate showed big difference by items. Second, as a result of measuring the level after dividing the recording level of items for the patient's past history from Level 1 to Level 4 by each item, the admission history, the past illness history, and the family history were about Level 3, and the smoking history, the medication history, the chief complaint & present illness, the drinking history and allergy were about Level 2. In the admission department, it was excellent in the interns' records for the medical department. Third, as a result of its satisfactory level by comparing the expect level of a record and the actual record by item in information on the patient's past history, which was expected by the medical-record committee members of the hospital targeted for a study. And forth, we analyzed the level of agreement with Kappa score in the level of 'Yes' or 'None' related to the corresponding matter in Level 1, in terms of information on the past history in the intern's record, the resident's record, and the nurse's record. The level of agreement in the resident's record & the nurse's record, and in the intern's record & the resident's record was from "excellent" to "a little good". There were differences in the level of completeness and in reliability for the information on the past history by the recorder group or by the admission department. The encounter process that was performed by the admission department or the recorder group, indicated the result that was directly reflected on the quality of medical records, thus it was required further study about the medical record documentation process and quality of care. The items that showed the high recording rate quantitatively were rather low, consequently we'd should develop the tool for the qualitative inspection and evaluate the medical records further. And the items were needed to be detailed in the record level were rather low, and hence there needed to be a documentation guideline and education by the clinical departments.
