Methods: Subjects were 210 nursing college students attending colleges in 5 cities and provinces nationwide. Data were collected from November 2017 to April 2018 using a self-administrated questionnaire, and analyzed utilizing descriptive statistics. Results: Considering the awareness of pandemic infectious diseases, the nursing students expressed high concern about the possibility of future outbreaks of pandemic infectious diseases and seriousness of the situation. There were numerous negative views on the response and stockpiling of drugs by the government. Ethical awareness of pandemic infectious diseases was high, with demands for accurate information and proper protective equipment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the perceived importance of nursing intserventions of psychiatric nurses according to domains, classes and interventions using the 3th NIC. Method: In this study, a 435 of 486 nursing interventions were selected from 75% consent reached by experts. Data were collected from 9 hospitals and 141 nurses(return rates: 94,0%) in Seoul, Kyonggi, Chungnam, Gwang-ju and Chonnam region from January, 2002 to February, 2002 using 4 point Likert scale. Result: Total perceived importance score was $2.905{\pm}0.463$ and total correlation score with performance frequency was r=0.295. The most important perceived domain and class was found to be ‘safety’ ($3.217{\pm}0.465$) and ‘community health promotion’ ($3.285{\pm}0.866$). The most correlated domain and class with performance frequency appeared to be ‘behavioral’ (r=0.431, p=0.000) and ‘communication enhancement’ (r=0.439, p=0.000). The most important perceived nursing intervention was found to be ‘active listening’ ($3.652{\pm}0.549$). Conclusion: In conclusion, nurses in clinical settings were found to perform less than perceive its importance. Therefore, further researches are needed to identify factors related to impede and develop strategies to improve the performance of nursing interventions.

Purpose: This study is aimed at preparing basic data to increase professionalism in nursing and effective counter-strategies against future infectious diseases. For that purpose, this study investigated the experiences of nurses in a general hospital with an 800-bed size, temporarily closed after a confirmed case of COVID-19. Methods: This study was a qualitative study using individual in-depth interviews, and data were collected from 10 nurses in a university hospital temporarily closed from May 1 to June 13, 2020. Results: As a result of this study, the subjects were classified into 'COVID-19 and nursing', 'nursing work and vocation' and 'life changed with COVID-19'. Conclusion: In conclusion, there is a need for education that nurtures the ability of nurses to screen patients with infectious diseases well and to skillfully wear and remove protective clothing. In addition, in order to cultivate the expertise of nurses and respond efficiently to infectious diseases, a separate compensation, such as a risk allowance, is required along with the establishment of an infrastructure that fully supports personnel and supplies. A mental health program to relieve stress is also required.

DICOM(Digital Imaging and Communications on Medicine) 표준은 2004년 4월에 발표된 "Supplement 23:DICOM SR(Structured Reporting)"을 통해 모든 임상정보의 표준화된 교환이 가능하도록 확장함으로써 의사의 판독보고서와 신체의 특정 부위와의 관계를 체계적으로 연결할 수 있게 되었다. DICOM SR은 정보를 정확하게 표현하기 위해 코드체계를 사용하며, 구성 항목들의 계층적인 트리로써 구조화된 정보를 표현할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 병원정보시스템의 영상 판독결과 보고서를 분석하여 발견(finding), 결론(conclusion) 및 권고(recommendation)로 세분화하고 구조화한 후 실제로 의사가 진료에 활용할 수 있도록 DICOM SR 시스템을 구현하였다. X-ray와 같은 영상 데이터는 판독결과나 환자의 정보와 같은 텍스트 데이터와 별도로 관리되고 있다. DICOM SR로 표현된 판독결과 보고서는 영상에 대한 참조가 가능하므로 텍스트와 영상이 통합된 정보를 제공할 수 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and test a structural model on work-related musculoskeletal disorders of women workers. Method: Data were collected from 237 women workers from industries such as electronics, food production and garment production, and analyzed by LISREL 8.54. Result: The fitness indices of the model are GFI=.87, NNFI=.91, PNFI= .74. Eight out of the ten paths were proved to be statistically significant: work environment$\rightarrow$social support, work environment$\rightarrow$health behavior, work environment$\rightarrow$-WMSDs, domestic work$\rightarrow$health behavior, social support$\rightarrow$health behavior, social support$\rightarrow$job satisfaction, health behavior$\rightarrow$job satisfaction, and job satisfaction$\rightarrow$WMSDs. Work environment. social support, health behavior and job satisfaction significantly influenced WRMDs. WRMDs were accounted for 35% by the predictor variables. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study identifies that work environment, social support, health behavior and job satisfaction are important factors affecting WMSDs. Therefore, in order to prevent WRMDs, it is most important to improve both physical work environment for female workers such as appropriate work station and tools fit for them and psychological environment such as less job demand and more decision latitude(worker control).
