본 연구의 목적은 한국과 미국의 자택 임종률 차이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 호스피스 제도 측면에서 파악하여, 사람들이 선호하는 자택임종 증가를 위한 호스피스 제도 개선 방안을 모색하는 것이다. 연구방법은 한국과 미국의 호스피스 제도를 대상으로 사례연구 접근방법 중 하나인 최대유사체계를 활용하였다. 연구결과, 양국 모두 공보험에 의해 운영되고 있었고, 서비스를 받을 수 있는 시점과 호스피스 대상 환자임을 의사 2명으로부터 확인받는 절차는 동일하였다. 반면 주요 차이점은 한국은 주로 입원형 호스피스를 이용하지만 미국은 대다수가 '일반가정형'을 이용하고 있었고, 호스피스 보조원 및 가사 도우미 서비스 등을 통해 가정 내 일상생활에 대한 돌봄도 지원하고 있었다. 또한 환자를 돌보는 가족 등을 대상으로 보호자 휴식을 위한 '단기입원형'을 운영하고 있었고, 호스피스 대상 질환에는 제한이 없었다. 따라서 사람들이 선호하는 자택임종 증가를 위한 호스피스 제도 개선 방안은 가정형 호스피스의 서비스 범위 확대 및 활성화와 더불어 가정 내 일상생활에 대한 돌봄과 보호자 휴식을 위한 서비스 제공 등이 필요하며, 호스피스 대상 질환에도 제한이 없어야 할 것이다.

고령화사회에서 고령사회로 급속도로 진행되고 있는 우리나라는 기초노령연금제도를 이미 실시하고 있고, 노인장기요양보험제도의 실시를 앞두고 요양보호사와 같은 인력양성도 서두르고 있지만, 고령화사회 문제에 대한 근본적인 대처를 할 수 있는 전문적인 인력을 양성하기 위한 체계적인 교육과정이 절실히 필요한 상황이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 고령화사회에 부응하고 고령사회에 대비하여 노인의 삶의 질을 향상시키는 실버케어 전문인력 양성을 위한 교육과정의 개발에 관해 기술하고자 한다. 분야별로는 노인복지, 케어복지 차원에서 분석하고 각각을 기초, 초급, 중급, 고급 수준 단계로 세분화하여 병렬적으로 적용 가능하게 조직한 실버케어 교육과정 모델을 제시한다.

The purpose of this study is to understand a ChoSun-jok female domesic worker's experience in a Korean home. This study adopted hermeneutic phenomenological method which was developed by van Manen. The participant for this study was a ChoSun-jok woman who had worked as a care-giver and housekeeper in Korean home for more than 2 years. She missed the time when she was raising her own daughter and son and expected the time that her family would be together. So, her present time wears away for her stable future in Korea which give an opportunity to make a good money. Also, she realized that she was a marginal existence : it meant she was neither a family member nor truly worker. She nursed the Korean children and did for the Korean family for money but wanted to be treated as a family member like a grandmother who could be honored about what she had done for the family. She felt that she was disregarded from the family when she miscommunicated with them because of the difference between cultures. She anticipated that she was appreciated for being here in the Korean home.

세계적으로 20명 가운데 1명이 천식을 앓고 있으며 암에 이어 사망을 일으키는 두 번째 위험요소가 되고 있는 천식은 환자의 지속적이고 장기적인 관찰과 관리가 중요한 질환이다. 이에 이동전화를 이용하여 천식을 관리할 수 있는 원격관리시스템을 개발하였다. 환자가 자신의 폐활량정보를 이동전화에 입력하면 의사와 보호자가 각각 정보를 확인한 후 환자에게 필요한 내용을 SMS문자나 컬러메일 등을 통해 전송할 수 있도록 하였다. 전송된 정보는 환자에게 전달되어 필요한 관리가 즉각적으로 이루어질 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 환자가 긴급을 요하는 상황에 처하는 경우 긴급호출을 통해 의사와 보호자에게 SMS문자나 컬러메일이 곧바로 전달될 수 있도록 하였다. 이를 위해 환자, 의사, 보호자 간의 접근 용이성이 최대화 되도록 간편하게 설계하였고, 사용자의 편리성을 제공하였다. 이동전화를 이용한 천식원격관리시스템은 원격진료에 대한 접근성을 용이하게 하였고, 다양한 만성질환의 관리에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 본다.

In this paper we propose a system to forecast the dangerous behavior of the dementia patients. Basic idea of our approach is to measure the body movements of the dementia patients using the acceleration sensor. Based on the data measured, warning the care-givers about possible dangerous actions like falling down from the bed and slipping down onto the floor to some extent. The signals measured by the acceleration sensor are processed by a one-chip computer. Based on the diagnosis of the one-chip computer , alert signal is generated to the care-giver by a wire-less signal. The sensor is implemented in a compact body . Applicability of the system is now being examined at a nursing home.

Individuals with special needs include those with behavioral issues, developmental disorders, cognitive disorders, congenital or genetic disorders, or systemic disease. These conditions may place them at increased risk for oral diseases. Dental management of patients with special needs require in-depth understanding of the background of disability and available behavioral guidance theories. Therefore dental team members need more training in the theory and practice of behavior management principles, which might lead to a clinical experience that is more respectful of the dignity and independence of patients with special needs. The dental professional should be flexible to modify the behavior management approach according to the individual patients needs. Also a family/care-giver centered approach based on their preferences and concerns, the patient's challenging behaviors, and related medical problem can serve to improve the treatment planning and oral health management of dental patients with special needs. This article focuses on uncooperative behavior and behavior management, which help practicing dentists to understand their role in the care of patients with special needs.
