Purpose: This study investigated knowledge and attitude of home visitors in public health centers toward wife abuse and the actual status of how they were detecting wife abuse and providing interventions. Method: Data were collected using questionnaires from October 2003 to December 2004. The subjects were 403 home visitors at Public Health Centers around Korea. The data were analyzed using SPSS program. Results: The correction rate of knowledge related to wife abuse was 51.9%. The mean score of attitude toward wife abuse was 3.09 (SD=.40) out of 4. showing that their attitude is right. There was a significant difference in attitude according to age (F=3.27, p=.008). One hundred twenty six visitors (31.3%) detected wife abuses and each visitor confirmed 2.3 cases on the average. Forty eight respondents (38.1%) answered that they had provided interventions. Conclusion: This result implies that health visitors have difficulties in detecting wife abuse, and even for identified cases, the rate of providing interventions was low. It was because health visitors' educational experience in wife abuse is insufficient and they do not regard this work as their duty. These findings suggest the necessity for developing nursing in-service programs teaching health visitors their duties and knowledge related to wife abuse.

As people's interest in the increase of individual leisure time and health grows, their interest in sports is also growing day by day to improve their standards of living. In the midst of the social changes, people's awareness of the disabled's sports activities is changing as well. However, the disabled's full access to public sports centers is restricted due to the shortage of facilities, area and available programs in public sports centers including community gymnasiums. In order to solve this problem, rehabilitation sports centers have been built as part of public sports centers, but the number of rehabilitation sports centers is still small. Besides, the disabled find themselves uncomfortable when using rehabilitation sports centers because most of them are outdated and too small in size. To make matters worse, sports centers for the use of the disabled only have a negative effect on the disabled's making inroads into society by hampering them from being a part of social unification. This study made a comparative analysis on the areal state of indoor gyms and swimming pools, which are the main areal factors of rehabilitation sports centers and public sports centers. Based on this analysis, this study aims to propose a sports center use plan for both the disabled and non-disabled. As a result, the total floor area ratios of indoor gyms for the disabled were found to be higher than those of public sports centers. This is because many indoor gyms for the disabled are not well equipped with resting areas, auxiliary or supporting areas. Regarding swimming pools for the disabled, their total floor area ratios and areas were found to be lower than those of public sports centers because, in many cases, these swimming pools are used for the rehabilitation of the disabled in rehabilitation sports centers. For this reason, swimming area for individual leisure activity or hobby is insufficient.

본 연구는 경남지역 20개 보건소를 대상으로 2007-2009년 까지 3년 동안의 효율성을 분석한 후, 그 결과를 토대로 비효율 보건소의 투입 및 산출변수의 목표량을 규명함으로써 운영의 효율성 제고에 실질적인 도움을 주기 위한 목적으로 수행하였다. 효율성 평가방법으로 자료포락분석(Data Envelopment Analysis: DEA)의 CCR, BCC 모형을 이용하여 보건소 전체 효율성과 사업 영역별 효율성을 평가하였다. 투입변수로는 인력(의료직, 간호 및 기술직, 사무직)을, 산출변수로는 보건소 사업(진료실적, 구강보건, 예방접종, 노인보건, 모자보건, 방문보건)을 선정하였다. 분석 결과, 기술효율성(TE)의 경우 2007년 평균은 0.912, 2008년 0.877, 2009년 0.917이었으며, 순수기술효율성(PTE)의 2007년 평균은 0.961, 2008년 0.946, 2009년 0.964, 그리고 규모의 효율성(SE)의 2007년 평균은 0.944, 2008년 0.925, 2009년 0.952로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 경남지역 보건소의 효율성이 전반적으로 높은 수준임을 알 수 있는데, 이는 국가 및 경상남도에서 그동안 보건소의 공공 보건사업을 활성화하기 위해 지속적으로 행정적, 재정적 지원을 추진한 결과로 보인다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 경남지역 공공보건사업의 체계적인 기획, 수행 및 평가체계의 구축은 물론, 전국의 다른 지역 보건소에 대해서도 효율성 제고를 위한 유용한 시사점을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 지방의료원의 문제점을 진단하고 향후 개선 방안을 강구하기 위하여 지방 전북에 소재하는 G의료원과 N의료원을 연구 대상으로 선정하였다. 조직 및 인력 현황, 예산 및 경영 현황, 진료실적, 공공사업 추진실적, 고객만족도 조사를 중심으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 재정상황은 인력 면에서 민간병원이나 국립대학병원에 비해 의사인력을 충분히 확보하지 못하였으며, 재정상황은 두 의료원경우 부채를 가지고 있으며, 의료급여환자수는 G의료원은 의료급여 환자 수가 매년 증가하고 있지만 N의료원의 경우 오히려 감소하고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 환자만족도 조사결과는, G의료원의 경우 전국 평균점수에 근사하였고 N의료원은 전국 평균에 비해 약간 낮았다. 의료원의 발전과 운영효율화에 필수적인 정책은 공공병원 정체성 확립, 우수 의료인력 확충, 병원특성화 및 연계진료체계 구축이다. 또한 공공서비스에 대한 국비와 지방비의 안정적인 재정적 지원책 확보와 장례업, 임대업, 국책사업의 위임을 통한 안정적 수익사업의 구축이 중요하다.

Researchers indicates several issues as to performance evaluation methods for public health centers. Firstly, health centers are passively involved in the evaluation process, the performance indicators are activity-oriented, and mostly unrealistic. Balanced Scorecard is one of the methods for evaluating organizational performance, which is utilized at current in many industries including public sector. The purposes of this study is to apply balanced scorecard approach to a public health center and to develop performance indicators as well as their vision and strategies. For developing performance indicators, researchers selected K City Public Health Center and implemented brainstorming with members of health promotion team. Through team process they suggested goals, strategies and several indicators they considered proper to accomplish their shared vision. And then appropriateness of the indicators were evaluated by professional researchers in health promotion field for consensus building by email questionnaire. Based on survey and professional consensus meeting, 11 performance indicators were tailored in four perspectives as well as 6 strategies and 10 strategic goals, which are steps for accomplishing shared vision of health promotion team. For details, refer to the paper. Most members of health promotion team were satisfied with the indicators. However issues such as low level of recognition and familiarity with a new concept of BSC, and cultural resistance to strategic approach in public organizations should be addressed for future application and dissemination of BSC technique to public health organizations.
