Purpose: The study aimed to analyze the current status of traffic accident victims who were transported by 119 ambulances within the administrative district of Chungnam province and provide essential data for accident prevention. Methods: The pre-hospital care records of patients who called the 119 emergency service in 2019 were obtained from the Chungnam Fire Department. Data pertaining to 13,663 traffic accident victims who were transported to hospitals were analyzed. Results: Patients in those aged ≥60 years accounted for 49.8% of the total cases. In patients aged ≥80 years(n=2,154), motor cycle accidents were highest as 28.3%. In addition, cultivator (n=135) and buggy car (n=79) accident victims were the highest in aged ≥80 years as 66.7% and 67.1%, respectively. Traffic accident victims-population ratio in Chungnam was 0.65%, wherein 2.03% included population aged ≥80 years. Conclusion: It was clear that accidents varied across administrative districts depending on the age group of population distribution. Thus, safety measures for preventing motorcycle, cultivator, and buggy car accidents are necessary for areas with many older people aged ≥80 years.

항공사고가 발생하게 되면 언론과 일반사회 구성원들은 사고로 인한 피해자에 주목하고 그들에 대한 조치나 보상에도 깊은 관심을 갖게 된다. 하지만, 지난 2002년 발생한 중국국제항공(CCA) 129편의 사고를 통해 우리는 항공사고로 인한 피해자 못지않게 그 가족들 또한 많은 고통을 받으며 심각한 사고 후유증을 겪는다는 현실적인 문제임를 확인할 수 있었다. 그럼에도 항공사고 피해자 가족에 대한 지원에 대한 우리나라의 관련 제도는 매우 빈약하다. 이에 반해 1996년 트랜스월드항공(TWA) 800편이 대서양 상공에서 폭발, 추락한 사고를 계기로 미국에서는 항공사고 피해자의 가족들을 지원하기 위한 법을 제정하였다. 그리고 이 법에 따라 항공사고 피해 당사자뿐만 아니라 그들의 가족들에 대한 체계적인 지원과 관리를 통해 피해자와 피해자 가족들의 추가적인 피해를 최소화 하고 조기에 사고 후유증으로부터 벗어날 수 있도록 지원하고 있다. 특히 2013년 아시아나항공(AAR) 214편이 미국 샌프란시스코 국제공항 착륙 중 추락한 사고에서 미국의 관련 당국이 이러한 법제에 따라 보여준 조치는 우리에게 항공사고에서의 피해자와 그 가족에 대한 지원에 대해 많은 시사점을 보여주고 있다. 이에 이 논문에서는 항공사고에서의 피해자와 피해자 가족 지원에 대한 제도개선의 필요성을 제언하고자 국내 외 관련 법제 체계와 과거 사고에서의 관련 사례를 분석하여 우리나라 제도의 부족한 점을 확인하였고, 관련 제도개선의 필요성을 도출하였다. 항공사고의 수습에서는 사고 피해자에 대한 금전적 피해보상도 중요하지만, 사고 피해자의 가족이 정신적 경제적인 충격으로부터 조기에 벗어나고 사고조사 결과에 대해 신뢰할 수 있도록 하는 것도 중요하다. 피해자 및 가족이 충격에서 벗어나고 사고조사를 신뢰하는 데에는 미국의 경우와 같이 그들에 대한 신속하고 체계적인 지원과 협조가 절실히 요구됨을 관련 정부부처와 항공사 및 유관기관에서는 인식하여야 한다. 그리고 항공기 사고 피해자 및 피해자 가족에 대한 지원을 위한 관련 법률의 보완, 실행 매뉴얼 제정, 계획 수립 및 사고 발생 시 신속한 이행을 위해 노력하여야 할 것이다. 이를 위해 항공사고 피해자 및 가족 지원에 대한 국가와 국가기관의 역할과 책임의 법적 제도화를 위한 규정을 마련할 필요가 있다. 그리고 현행 법률에 명시된 항공사가 제출하여야 하는 피해자 및 가족 지원계획은 그 항목을 구체화할 필요가 있다. 추가하여 신설 및 보완된 내용은 명확한 법 적용을 위해 기존 법률에 단일 조항으로 통합하거나 별도의 특별법으로 제정하는 방안도 제안해 본다.

ADR has recently been expanded, making it possible to solve traffic accident disputes, which is a matter of urgency for parties to avoid. This point serves as an important procedural element. Such disputes are an area that requires a quick resolution. To try to solve any dispute that occurs in the complex environment of modern times one-by-one through litigation does not make sense. It gives an undue burden on the judicial body and the investigation agency. Like litigation, today's arbitration system, should have effective conflict resolution. The arbitration of automobile traffic accident disputes can be seen as roughly adjusted through the insurance company, the Dispute Coordinating Committee, and the Crime Victims Protection Act. It consists of experts mainly, and the resolution of automobile traffic accident disputes can be resolved through the Sajonsa and workers insurance company. However, adjustments to failure incident mostly need attention. Most of a company's compensation insurance indemnity needs to be processed in practice. In addition, a vicious cycle of litigation and delay period is repeated if a lawyer is appointed. There are unreasonable adjustment systems in the midst of these. Avoiding traffic accidents allows parties to resolve disputes better. Arbitration of disputes in automobile traffic accidents handled by arbitration institutions is desirable. It is determined that the handling of a case by a village attorney is efficient.

Objectives: In South Korea, traffic accident victims can be treated under automobile insurance coverage. Korean medicine (KM) clinics have reported the largest number of automobile insurance fee claims among medical institutions. This study investigated the status of the KM automobile insurance system in a single KM clinic. Methods: We retrospectively surveyed the medical charts of 342 traffic accident patients treated at the Jisung KM clinic between January 2009 and June 2017. Results: Most of the patients were men and in their 30s. The most common method of locating the clinic was an internet search. The most common traffic accident type was collision between vehicles (83.63%), with 70.76% of patients visiting during the most acute phase. The major disease codes included S434, M4836, F072, S0600, and S3350. The most frequent treatment period was within 1 month of the accident, and most patients received 10 or fewer treatments. The mean treatment duration and number of treatments were 37.68 ± 45.11 days and 11.68 ± 10.63 treatments, respectively. The initial pain numerical rating scale (NRS), 7.32 ± 0.96, decreased to 3.57 ± 1.40 at the end of treatment, with a symptom improvement score of 1.87 ± 0.60. Regarding sex, age, disease duration, location at the time of the accident, presence of additional and psychological symptoms, and chuna, there were statistically significant differences in treatment duration and number of treatments. A higher number of treatments and the longer treatment duration was associated with a higher initial NRS, lower post-treatment NRS, and better improvement score. Since the introduction of traffic accident (TA) pharmacopuncture, the rate of use of a single type of pharmacopuncture increased; however, no significant differences in treatment duration and number, NRS before and after treatment, and improvement score were observed between treatment groups before and after TA pharmacopuncture. No adverse reactions were observed for any treatment. Conclusion: This study confirmed the previous findings of a high treatment effect of KM under automobile insurance. We also observed significant correlations based on a detailed medical status, which may explain the increasing use of KM in the automobile insurance system. Additional multi-center studies in different regions are needed.

본 연구는 교통사고 야기자의 PTSD(Posttraumatic Stress Disorder) 발생 구조와 원인, 치료방법 선택에 기초적인 자료를 제공하기 위하여 연구를 진행하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 교통사고 피해자가 아닌 가해자를 대상으로 추정만 하던 교통사고 가해자의 PTSD 현황을 전국적인 설문조사를 통하여 파악할 수 있었다. 둘째, 교통사고 야기자를 대상으로 교통사고의 발생과 밀접한 20가지의 운전 상황에서 교통사고 이후의 운전태도 변화를 요인분석으로 3가지로 유형화할 수 있었다. 셋째, PTSD 유 무별로 주요 운전 상황에서의 운전태도 변화의 차이가 있음을 t검정을 통하여 파악할 수 있었다. 또한 t검정을 통하여 유의하다고 나타난 6가지의 운전 상황을 구조방정식 모형에 적용하여 PTSD 관련 변수와 운전태도 변화와의 관계를 분석하는 모형을 구축할 수 있었다. 구축된 모형의 분석을 통해, PTSD 저감 예방을 위한 대책 마련 및 PTSD 저감을 위한 기초자료를 제공하였다.
