The aim of this study was to know the current management status in Korean medical clinics (KMC) and the awareness of Korean medicine doctor. The simple random extraction method from the membership list of 'The Association of Korean Medicine' in 2010 was used for survey. The questionnaire which had used in 2008 was revised, and those were sent to each KMC by mail. A total of 107 data were acquired and frequency analysis was conducted. The result showed that the annual average employees working in each KMC was 2.9 persons and the number of daily outpatient was 33.8 person in 2010. The proportion of sales covered by medical insurance at KMC has been increasing annually as 42.9%, 43.5%, and 44.8% of total sales, whereas the uninsured sales was 57.1%, 56.5%, and 55.2% of total sales in 2008, 2009, and 2010 respectively. All of the responders recognized that the current situation of Korean medical service market was not good and the reason was mainly resulted from undeveloped medical technique, popularized use of functional foods for health and alternative medical care by Western medicine. To expand Korean medical service, the expansion of sales covered by public health medical insurance, government support and advertizement for public relation were needed.

최근 의료계에서 환자가 의료서비스의 소극적인 객체가 아니라 주체로서 인식되면서 환자의 위상을 강화하기 위한 다양한 시도가 이뤄지고 있다. 지금까지 의사가 주도했던 의료커뮤니케이션이 소비자주권의식과 의료정보의 활성화로 점차 환자중심으로 이동하고 있다. 이 글에서는 IT의 발달로 의료정보가 대중화되면서 환자들이 환우회, 소비자운동 등을 통해 의료소비자로서 위상을 강화하는 과정을 살펴본다. 이를 위해 의사와 환자의 커뮤니케이션에 영향을 미치는 의료정보의 역할, 환자 커뮤니티의 소비자운동 등을 다루고자 한다. 또한 정보통신기술을 활용한 의료시스템이 뿌리를 내리기 위해 연결망을 형성하고 실패하는 과정을 ANT(행위자-연결망이론)를 통해 분석한다. 환자중심의 의료서비스는 IT기술을 이용한 다양한 헬스케어 서비스 시장을 창출하며 의료정보의 비대칭성 개선에 기여하고 있다. IT융합 헬스케어 시장의 확대는 의사와 환자의 전통적인 관계에 근본적인 변화를 가져오면서 의료서비스시장을 재편하고 있다. 환자가 주도하는 모바일 헬스케어 모델의 확산 등 환자중심 의료가 가속화되고 있는 것이다.

It has been suggested in research results thai dental hygienists have high risk of carpal tunnel syndrome, mainly caused by the repeated motion of extensor and flexor or the use of vibration tools, compared to other occupations. To find out the situation of the carpal tunnel syndrome of dental hygienists, who are exposed to work-related musculoskeletal disorders, this study used 132 questionnaires given on May 22, 2004, the period of continuing education of the first half year in the Gwangju Jeonnam area, and obtained the following results. 1. Subjects worked at a dental ciinic(32.6%), a hospital(31.8%), and a public health center(35.6%). Age by work was under 24 in a clinic(17.4%) and a hospital(15.9%), and over 30 in a public health center(35.6%). 2. In practice conducted over one time a day, a scaling accounted for 90.7% in a doctor's office; 595% in a hospital; and 3.0% in a public health center, suggesting significant difference(p<0.01). Pit and fissure sealant accounted for 53.5% in a clinic; 53.2% in a hospital; and 95% in a public health center, also suggesting significant difference(p0.01). 3. Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome appeared in a wrist(12.1%), a right hand(14.4%), and a left hand(5.3%). 4. In case of temporary crown practice, symptoms appeared in a wrist(22.0%), a right hand(14.0%), and a left hand(4.0%), suggesting significant difference(p<0.01). The above results showed that 12.1% of dental hygienists was exposed to carpal tunnel syndrome. Thus, it is considered very important that dental hygienists should be given education of the danger of continuous work in certain motions and prevention education of improving repeated position, and make efforts to reinforce self-control ability.

A survey was conducted by the staff of the College of Medicine and School of Public Health, Seoul National University in cooperation with Seoul Special City from 1 December 1967 through 28 February 1968, on such events as delivery, death, abortion and pregnancy. The survey directed to a total population of 47,811 residing in 9,157 households led us to the following findings: 1. Two year averages of crude birth rate, crude death rate and natural increase rate were 30.1, 5.6 and 24.5, respectively. 2. Of all deliveries, home and hospital deliveries constituted 61.1 per cent and 35.5 per cent, respectively. 3. Deliveries other than hospital deliveries were found to be attended more often by mother-in-laws (26.5 per cent) than by doctors or midwives(23.4 per cent). 4. About 51 per cent of all women having experiences in pregnancy during the last two years had an experience of consulting a doctor at least one time throughout whole period of pregnancy. 5. In most cases scissors were used to cut umbilical cords, of which 71.0 per cent were not sterilized and only 20.3 per cent sterilized. 6. In many cases placenta was incinerated(48.2 per cent) and on many other occasions it was thrown away into water(28.3 per cent). 7. Cement bags(37.4 per cent), gauze and absorbent cotton(29.8 per cent) were found to be most frequently used to receive new-born babies. 8. In 1966 8. 8 per cent of the women had at least one abortion induced and in 1967 the percentage was 9.2 per cent. 9. Nearly all(95.8 per cent) of the induced abortions reportedly were done at doctor's clinics. 10. Of all the abortions induced 65.3 per cent were done by specialists in obstetrics, 30.3 per cent by general practitioners and 2.7 per cent by midwives. 11. Those who experienced spontaneous abortions were 1.9 per cent of all women both in 1966 and 1967. 12. About 9.2 per cent of women investigated were found to be currently pregnant. 13. Age specific death rate turned out to be highest among those under 1 year of age. 14. Ten major causes of death in their order of frequency were: 15. Places of death can be classified into homes(75.3 per cent) and hospitals(13.2 per cent). 16. Method of disposing of corpses comprised burials(54.2 per cent) and cremations(44.6 per cent). 17. Infant, neonatal and hebdomadal mortality rates have been computed at 32.2, 18.9 and 13.7, respectively. 18. Infants were found to have died either at homes(81.5 per cent) or at hospitals(18.5 per cent). 19. Birth registrations had been done for about 18.5 per cent of the dead infants.

다양한 보건사업 수행과 서비스 질 보장을 위해서는 공공보건부문 지식을 비롯하여 행정력과 리더십을 갖춘 의사인력의 확대를 통한 인프라 구축이 중요하다. 본 연구는 공공의료계의 우수한 의사인력의 진출을 활성화하는 방안의 일환으로써 현재 보건소에서 근무하고 있는 의사들을 대상으로 공공보건부문 의사인력 양성과 개발에 대한 인식정도를 파악함으로써 향후 공공보건부문에 종사하는 의사인력의 확대 방안을 모색하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 시행되었다. 본 설문조사는 126명이 응답 하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS ver. 17.0K를 이용하여 빈도분석을 통해 분석하였다. 분석 결과 ‘의사조직 내에서의 공공의료부문 의사의 위상확보와 지원 필요성’에 대한 조사결과, 거의 모든 항목에 대해 응답자들이 필요성을 높게 인식하고 있었다. 특히, ‘의사들의 공공보건부문 진출의 장애요인’에 대해서는 ‘낮은 급여문제’와 ‘승진기회의 부족’ 등을 중요하게 꼽고 있었다. ‘의사들의 보건소 근무를 위하여 가장 필요한 교육 프로그램’으로는 ‘보건기획과 보건사업 수행 관련 프로그램’을 꼽고 있었는데, 사전 교육 및 보수 교육을 통해 공공보건부문 의사들의 역량을 강화해 나가는 것이 필요할 것이다. 공공의료계 의사인력의 원활한 확보와 역량강화를 위해서는 의사를 많이 충원하는 것도 중요 하겠지만 공공의료계에 의사들의 진입을 위한 방안과 함께 현재 근무 중인 의사인력에 대한 역량강화 방안도 중요하다. 후속연구를 통해 공공보건부문 인력양성과 개발에 기여할 수 있는 새로운 방안들을 마련하고 제도화 하여 공공보건부문 확충을 통한 국민보건향상에 기여할 수 있기를 기대한다.
