치의학계에서는 의료사고를 일으킬만한 중환자나 응급환자의 빈도가 상대적으로 낮아 의료분쟁에 휘말리는 경우가 적었으나 요즈음은 의료분쟁이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 치과진료의 특성상 항상 보조인력이 한, 두명씩 치과의사의 진료를 도와주어야 하고, 치과의사의 의료사고로 인해 의료분쟁으로 발생하는 경우도 있지만 의료법에서 정한 치과 보조인력의 진료영역에서 의료사고 및 분쟁이 발생할 수 있다. 또한 의료기관의 친절도, 서비스 불만 등 진료외적인 요인은 치과 보조인력의 역할을 무시할 수 없다. 본 연구는 2006년 현재 종합병원, 치과병원 및 의원에서 치과진료 보조업무를 하고 있는 치과위생사를 대상으로 설문조사를 하였다. 회수된 275명의 설문분석을 통하여 응답자에 관한 기본적인 자료조사 및 환자의 불평, 불만 및 의료분쟁 경험도와 함께 의료관계법의 이해도를 측정하고, 치과진료 및 의료분쟁에 대한 전반적인 의식성향을 비교분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 설문응답자 중에서 향후 의료사고 및 분쟁이 발생할지도 모른다는 불안감 또는 의구심을 어느 정도 가지고 있는 경우가 274명 중 251명(91.3%)이었다. 2. 치과위생사의 업무, 진료에 대한 환자의 불평, 불만 경험률은 29.5%(81명)으로 나타나 치과관련 의료분쟁의 원인이 될 수 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 3. 전체유형별 항목에 따른 환자의 문제제기 건수를 보면 직접적인 진료행위와 관련된 문제보다 불친절 및 진료비 등의 진료이외의 문제 제기가 1805건 중 349건(19.3%)으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 4. 세부유형별 항목에 따른 환자의 문제제기 건수를 보면 환자가 치료와 관련하여 충분한 사전설명이나 동의를 구하지 않았다고 문제시 한 경우가 1805건 중 129건(7.1%)으로 가장 높았다. 5. 치과위생사가 스케일링 시술 후 환자 진료기록부에 기록하는 경우는 267명 중 252명(94.4%)으로 나타났으나, 스케일링 시술 후 주의사항 설명 사실을 진료기록부에 기록하는 경우는 55명(20.8%)에 불과했다. 6. 치과진료에 있어서 환자가 언급하지 않으면 특별히 전신질환 유무를 조사하지 않는 경우가 6명(2.2%)으로 조사되었다. 7. 환자 진료와 관련되어 응급상황 발생 시 응급조치를 시행할 수 있다고 생각하는 치과위생사는 104명(38.0%)으로 조사되었다. 8. 근무지에 응급상황 발생 시 조치에 필요한 장비 및 약품을 구비해둔 경우는 115명(41.8%)으로 나타났다. 9. 의료분쟁 발생 시 문제해결에 있어 의무기록이 중요한 역할을 한다고 응답한 경우는 268명(97.81%)으로 나타났다. 10. 의료분쟁 시 문제해결에 있어서 치료 전 설명 및 동의의 의무의 이행 여부가 중요한 역할을 한다고 응답한 경우가 272명 (99.3%)으로 나타났다. 11. 의무기록의 의무보관연도가 10년이라고 옳게 응답한 경우는 160명(58.4%)에 불과했다. 12. 치과위생사의 업무를 벗어난 파노라마사진 촬영을 해도 된다고 응답한 경우가 124명(45.3%), 치경부 레진수복을 해도 된다고 응답한 경우가 71명(25.9%), 유치발치를 해도 된다고 응답한 경우가 37명(13.5%)으로 나타났다. 13. 환자의 비밀누설 금지와 관련하여 환자의 상태를 다른 사람에게 이야기하는 것은 큰 문제가 되지 않는다고 응답한 경우가 24명(8.8%)으로 나타났다. 14. 의료분쟁의 예방 및 대책에 관한 교육의 필요성에 대해서 272명(99.3%)이 필요하고, 167명(61.0%)이 시급하다고 답하였다. 15. 재학 중 의료분쟁의 예방 및 대책에 관한 관련교육을 수료한 적이 없다는 경우가 186명(64.2%), 졸업 후 의료분쟁의 예방 및 대책에 관한 보수교육을 수료한 적이 없는 경우가 212명(77.4%)으로 나타났다. 16. 향후 의료분쟁이 증가할 것으로 생각된다는 응답은 256명(93.4%)이었고, 그 원인으로는 83.3%가 인터넷, 방송 등의 매체를 통한 정보습득 기회의 확대를 꼽았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면 치과위생사와 관련한 환자의 불평, 불만 및 분쟁도 경험률이 응답한 치과위생사의 29.5%를 차지하고 있으며, 의료법에서 정한 의료인의 의무와 치과위생사의 직무범위에 대한 인식이 부족한 것으로 조사되어 앞으로 의료분쟁이 더욱 증가할 수 있는 가능성을 내포하고 있다. 그러므로 주의의무, 설명 및 동의의무 등의 의무를 다함은 물론, 이에 대한 인식을 제고하여야 하며, 의료법과 의료분쟁에 대한 예방 및 대책과 관련된 교육기회를 확대하여야 할 것이다.
본 연구의 목적은 인적자원의 혁신성과 학습지향성이 혁신효과 및 사업성과에 미치는 영향관계를 연구함에 있어 중소기업과 대기업의 차이를 알아보는 것이었다. 다양한 업종의 실무자 479명으로부터 수집한 설문자료를 t-검정, 회귀분석 등을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과에서 대기업은 중소기업에 비해 인적자원의 혁신성, 학습지향성, 혁신효과, 사업성과 면에서 더 높은 수준을 보였다. 혁신효과를 종속변인으로 한 회귀분석 결과에서 인적자원의 혁신성, 학습지향성, 인적자원의 혁신성-학습지향성의 상호 작용 변인이 혁신효과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 기업규모의 조절효과도 확인되어 중소기업의 경우 대기업에 비해 인적자원의 혁신성이 혁신효과에 미치는 영향이 더 크고, 대기업의 경우 중소기업에 비해 학습지향성이 혁신효과에 미치는 영향이 더 크다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 사업성과를 종속변인으로 한 회귀 분석 결과에서는 학습지향성, 혁신효과, 인적자원의 혁신성-학습지향성의 상호작용 변인이 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 기업규모의 조절효과가 확인되었다. 연구결과를 토대로 기업을 위한 시사점이 제시되었는데, 중소기업과 대기업 모두 혁신효과와 사업성과를 끌어올리기 위해 인적자원의 혁신성과 학습 지향적 문화의 확산에 고루 투자함으로서 성공적인 혁신 상품과 서비스 개발을 이루고, 궁극적으로 사업성과의 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
Today most developed countries provide modern medical care for most of the population. The rural area is the more neglected area in the medical and health field. In public health, the philosophy is that medical care for in maintenance of health is a basic right of man; it should not be discriminated against racial, environmental or financial situations. The deficiency of the medical care system, cultural bias, economic development, and ignorance of the residents about health care brought about the shortage of medical personnel and facilities on the rural areas. Moreover, medical students and physicians have been taught less about rural health care than about urban health care. Medical care, therefore, is insufficient in terms of health care personnel/and facilities in rural areas. Under such a situation, there is growing concern about the health problems among the rural population. The findings presented in this report are useful measures of the major health problems and even more important, as a guide to planning for improved medical care systems. It is hoped that findings from this study will be useful to those responsible for improving the delivery of health service for the rural population. Objectives: -to determine the health status of the residents in the rural areas. -to assess the rural population's needs in terms of health and medical care. -to make recommendations concerning improvement in the delivery of health and medical care for the rural population. Procedures: For the sampling design, the ideal would be to sample according to the proportion of the composition age-groups. As the health problems would be different by group, the sample was divided into 10 different age-groups. If the sample were allocated by proportion of composition of each age group, some age groups would be too small to estimate the health problem. The sample size of each age-group population was 100 people/age-groups. Personal interviews were conducted by specially trained medical students. The interviews dealt at length with current health status, medical care problems, utilization of medical services, medical cost paid for medical care and attitudes toward health. In addition, more information was gained from the public health field, including environmental sanitation, maternal and child health, family planning, tuberculosis control, and dental health. The sample Sample size was one fourth of total population: 1,438 The aged 10-14 years showed the largest number of 254 and the aged under one year was the smallest number of 81. Participation in examination Examination sessions usually were held in the morning every Tuesday, Wenesday, and Thursday for 3 hours at each session at the Namchun Health station. In general, the rate of participation in medical examination was low especially in ages between 10-19 years old. The highest rate of participation among are groups was the under one year age-group by 100 percent. The lowest use rate as low as 3% of those in the age-groups 10-19 years who are attending junior and senior high school in Taegu city so the time was not convenient for them to recieve examinations. Among the over 20 years old group, the rate of participation of female was higher than that of males. The results are as follows: A. Publie health problems Population: The number of pre-school age group who required child health was 724, among them infants numbered 96. Number of eligible women aged 15-44 years was 1,279, and women with husband who need maternal health numbered 700. The age-group of 65 years or older was 201 needed more health care and 65 of them had disabilities. (Table 2). Environmental sanitation: Seventy-nine percent of the residents relied upon well water as a primary source of dringking water. Ninety-three percent of the drinking water supply was rated as unfited quality for drinking. More than 90% of latrines were unhygienic, in structure design and sanitation (Table 15). Maternal and child health: Maternal health Average number of pregnancies of eligible women was 4 times. There was almost no pre- and post-natal care. Pregnancy wastage Still births was 33 per 1,000 live births. Spontaneous abortion was 156 per 1,000 live births. Induced abortion was 137 per 1,000 live births. Delivery condition More than 90 percent of deliveries were conducted at home. Attendants at last delivery were laymen by 76% and delivery without attendants was 14%. The rate of non-sterilized scissors as an instrument used to cut the umbilical cord was as high as 54% and of sickles was 14%. The rate of difficult delivery counted for 3%. Maternal death rate estimates about 35 per 10,000 live births. Child health Consultation rate for child health was almost non existant. In general, vaccination rate of children was low; vaccination rates for children aged 0-5 years with BCG and small pox were 34 and 28 percent respectively. The rate of vaccination with DPT and Polio were 23 and 25% respectively but the rate of the complete three injections were as low as 5 and 3% respectively. The number of dead children was 280 per 1,000 living children. Infants death rate was 45 per 1,000 live births (Table 16), Family planning: Approval rate of married women for family planning was as high as 86%. The rate of experiences of contraception in the past was 51%. The current rate of contraception was 37%. Willingness to use contraception in the future was as high as 86% (Table 17). Tuberculosis control: Number of registration patients at the health center currently was 25. The number indicates one eighth of estimate number of tuberculosis in the area. Number of discharged cases in the past accounted for 79 which showed 50% of active cases when discharged time. Rate of complete treatment among reasons of discharge in the past as low as 28%. There needs to be a follow up observation of the discharged cases (Table 18). Dental problems: More than 50% of the total population have at least one or more dental problems. (Table 19) B. Medical care problems Incidence rate: 1. In one month Incidence rate of medical care problems during one month was 19.6 percent. Among these health problems which required rest at home were 11.8 percent. The estimated number of patients in the total population is 1,206. The health problems reported most frequently in interviews during one month are: GI trouble, respiratory disease, neuralgia, skin disease, and communicable disease-in that order, The rate of health problems by age groups was highest in the 1-4 age group and in the 60 years or over age group, the lowest rate was the 10-14 year age group. In general, 0-29 year age group except the 1-4 year age group was low incidence rate. After 30 years old the rate of health problems increases gradually with aging. Eighty-three percent of health problems that occured during one month were solved by primary medical care procedures. Seventeen percent of health problems needed secondary care. Days rested at home because of illness during one month were 0.7 days per interviewee and 8days per patient and it accounts for 2,161 days for the total productive population in the area. (Table 20) 2. In a year The incidence rate of medical care problems during a year was 74.8%, among them health problems which required rest at home was 37 percent. Estimated number of patients in the total population during a year was 4,600. The health problems that occured most frequently among the interviewees during a year were: Cold (30%), GI trouble (18), respiratory disease (11), anemia (10), diarrhea (10), neuralgia (10), parasite disease (9), ENT (7), skin (7), headache (7), trauma (4), communicable disease (3), and circulatory disease (3) -in that order. The rate of health problems by age groups was highest in the infants group, thereafter the rate decreased gradually until the age 15-19 year age group which showed the lowest, and then the rate increased gradually with aging. Eighty-seven percent of health problems during a year were solved by primary medical care. Thirteen percent of them needed secondary medical care procedures. Days rested at home because of illness during a year were 16 days per interviewee and 44 days per patient and it accounted for 57,335 days lost among productive age group in the area (Table 21). Among those given medical examination, the conditions observed most frequently were respiratory disease, GI trouble, parasite disease, neuralgia, skin disease, trauma, tuberculosis, anemia, chronic obstructive lung disease, eye disorders-in that order (Table 22). The main health problems required secondary medical care are as fellows: (previous page). Utilization of medical care (treatment) The rate of treatment by various medical facilities for all health problems during one month was 73 percent. The rate of receiving of medical care of those who have health problems which required rest at home was 52% while the rate of those who have health problems which did not required rest was 61 percent (Table 23). The rate of receiving of medical care for all health problems during a year was 67 percent. The rate of receiving of medical care of those who have health problems which required rest at home was 82 percent while the rate of those who have health problems which did not required rest was as low as 53 percent (Table 24). Types of medical facilitied used were as follows: Hospital and clinics: 32-35% Herb clinics: 9-10% Drugstore: 53-58% Hospitalization Rate of hospitalization was 1.7% and the estimate number of hospitalizations among the total population during a year will be 107 persons (Table 25). Medical cost: Average medical cost per person during one month and a year were 171 and 2,800 won respectively. Average medical cost per patient during one month and a year were 1,109 and 3,740 won respectively. Average cost per household during a year was 15,800 won (Table 26, 27). Solution measures for health and medical care problems in rural area: A. Health problems which could be solved by paramedical workers such as nurses, midwives and aid nurses etc. are as follows: 1. Improvement of environmental sanitation 2. MCH except medical care problems 3. Family planning except surgical intervention 4. Tuberculosis control except diagnosis and prescription 5. Dental care except operational intervention 6. Health education for residents for improvement of utilization of medical facilities and early diagnosis etc. B. Medical care problems 1. Eighty-five percent of health problems could be solved by primary care procedures by general practitioners. 2. Fifteen percent of health problems need secondary medical procedures by a specialist. C. Medical cost Concidering the economic situation in rural area the amount of 2,062 won per residents during a year will be burdensome, so financial assistance is needed gorvernment to solve health and medical care problems for rural people.
