Purpose: This study was conducted to analyze variables related to paramedic students' major satisfaction comprehensively and present development plans to improve major satisfaction. Methods: Five studies were selected for analysis. The overall average effect size, effect sizes for each related variable, and publication bias were analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) version 2.0 (Biostat, Englewood, NJ, USA). Results: Various known variables related to major satisfaction were found to have little correlation, and paramedic students' major satisfaction were highly correlated variables, such as major commitment (ES=.781), and department adaptation (ES=.722). Conclusion: Research should be continuously conducted to examine additional variables correlated with the major satisfaction of paramedic students.

본 연구는 응급구조학과 학생들의 자기가치감과 대학생활적응의 정도를 파악하고, 종교의 유무와 가족구성원의 친밀도에 따라 차이가 있는지를 분석하였다. 대학교에 재학 중인 응급구조학과 학생들을 183명을 대상으로 온라인 설문을 실시하였으며, 대상자의 성별, 종교의 유무, 가족구성원과의 친밀도는 빈도와 백분율로 분석하였다. 종교의 유무 및 가족구성원과의 친밀도에 따른 자기가치감과 대학생활적응은 평균, 표준편차와 t-test와 ANOVA로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 종교의 유무 및 가족구성원과의 친밀도에 따라 자기가치감에 차이가 있었으며, 가족구성원과의 친밀도에 따라 대학생활적응의 하위요인 중 학업적응에 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 개인의 자기가치감 향상과 대학생활적응 요인에 맞도록 상담전략을 세우는 데에 있어 종교의 유무와 가족구성원과의 친밀도를 고려할 필요가 있으며, 자기가치감 향상을 위한 다양한 대학생활적응 증진 프로그램을 개발해 응급구조학과 학생들에게 적용하고 그 효과를 검증할 것을 제언한다.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify research trends related to the job competency of paramedics and paramedic students in Korea. It also presents further research directions. Methods: Papers from three databases (RISS, KISS, and DBpia) were reviewed. The keywords were 'paramedi^* and competency,' 'paramedi^* and job competency,' 'paramedi^* and student and competency,' and 'paramedi^* and student and job competency.' No limit was imposed on the research period. Four researchers conducted the inclusion and exclusion processes. Differences in opinion were resolved through sufficient discussion. Results: Twelve studies were selected for review, of which 11 were descriptive survey research studies and 1 was quasi-experimental. Eight studies aimed to determine the current level of competency, and three aimed to identify competency. The remaining study was designed for the development of and application in competency-related programs. The subject of most studies was competency during disasters. Conclusion: Based on these results, future research on paramedic job competency should include a wider variety of methods and subjects.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the treatment outcomes according to the socioeconomic factor of patients who visited the emergency room. Methods: This study conducted frequency analysis, percentage analysis, and Fisher's exact test analysis method, using the R 4.1.2 program based on the 2019 data from the Korea Health Panel. Results: Among the treatment results of 1,648 patients, 392 patients were hospitalized or transferred to other hospitals, 845 were discharged after treatment, 224 were discharged, and 7 died. The Fisher's exact test of treatment outcomes and socioeconomic factors was not statistically significant for status of the worker and employment relationship, but was significant for the housing, household, economic activity, and insurance types, and marital status and education. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that it is necessary to conduct follow up studies on socioeconomic factors to provide basic data that can contribute to fairness and equity in the health care field.

본 연구는 시뮬레이션 기반 문제중심학습 수업을 설계하고 적용한 후 수업 운영의 효과를 초점집단면담을 이용해 분석하고자 수행되었다. 응급구조학은 전공지식을 바탕으로 다양한 응급 상황에 대응할 수 있는 실무 중심의 학습이 중요하다. 문제중심학습 수업의 경우 학습을 위한 현장상황과 관련한 실제 성을 제공하여 문제해결전략과 기술, 팀워크 등의 역량을 향상시킬 수 있어 응급구조학과에서 다루는 다양한 주제를 운영하기에 적합하다. 본 연구는 호흡곤란 환자 사례를 중심으로한 PBL 모듈을 개발해 S대학교 응급구조학과 3학년 16명이 수강하는 전문내과응급처치학 및 실습 교과목에 적용한 것으로, 전문가 컨설팅을 통해 인증평가를 받았으며, 학습자 5명을 대상으로 초점집단면접을 이용한 만족도 질적 연구가 추가로 진행되었다. 전반적인 수업 만족도는 4.76점에서 4.92점으로 높은 수준을 보였다. 특히, PBL 수업을 통해 학습 전략을 재설정하고, 협력 학습을 경험함으로써 긍정적인 학습성과를 얻을 수 있었고 자기효능감을 경험하였다.

Purpose: This study explored the values and attitudes toward the death of paramedic students. It comprehensively investigated paramedic students' first encounters with death during their clinical practice. Methods: Between December 2022 and January 2023, in-depth interviews were conducted with seven paramedic students who underwent clinical practice. Their experiences with death and grievances were explored by applying Colaizzi's (1978) phenomenological research method. Results: After exploring and analyzing the collected data, the context and meaning of the phenomenon were integrated. Resultingly, five major categories and 16 subcategories were derived. Conclusion: Universities should introduce a practical curriculum on experiences with death to reduce the negative emotions associated with death that paramedic students experience during their clinical practice and convert them into opportunities for reflection and growth.

The gold standard method for diagnosis of tuberculosis is the isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis through culture, but there is a probability of cross-contamination in simultaneous cultures of samples causing false-positives. This can result in delayed treatment of the underlying disease and drug side effects. In this paper, we reviewed studies on false-positive cultures of M. tuberculosis. Rate of occurrence, effective factors, and extent of false-positives were analyzed. Ways to identify and reduce the false-positives and management of them are critical for all laboratories. In most cases, false-positive is occurring in cases with only one positive culture but negative direct smear. The three most crucial factors in this regard are inappropriate technician function, contamination of reagents, and aerosol production. Thus, to reduce false-positives, good laboratory practice, as well as use of whole-genome sequencing or genotyping of all positive culture samples with a robust, extra pure method and rapid response, are essential for minimizing the rate of false-positives. Indeed, molecular approaches and epidemiological surveillance can provide a valuable tool besides culture to identify possible false positives.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the jobs of paramedics who are diversifying by deriving duties in accordance with occupational group-related laws, although they are not directly specified in the job description of paramedics or the Emergency Medical Act. Methods: This study selected four paramedics who randomly extracted participants that submitted consent to participate between March 2023 and October 2023. Their occupational groups were the Korea coast guard and air rescue, health centers, and industries; they met on September 19, 2023, and directly transcribed the recorded contents through a three-and-a-half-hour focus group interview for analysis. Results: In the results, although the job description was not directly specified in the job description or emergency medical law, five areas of work applied to practice were derived: "rescue," "administration," "education," "industry," and "tactical." Conclusion: To expand jobs according to the diversification of the occupational field of paramedics, job analysis of paramedics belonging to various occupations is required.

Objectives: The aim of the present work is evaluating the special effects of Urtica Dioica and Lamium Album on the serum level of K-Ras and GSK-3 beta in diabetic rats. Methods: In the present experimental study, 32 male Wistar rats randomly divided into 4 groups (Group I: normal control rats; receiving daily PBS, Group 2: diabetic control rats; receiving single dose of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg) and daily PBS, Group 3: Diabetic rats treated with 100 mg/kg of hydroalcoholic extract of the U. dioica, Group 4: Diabetic rats treated with 100 mg/kg of hydroalcoholic extract of L. Album. Diabetes-induced by an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/ kg). On the 14 th day of treatment, the weight, fasting blood sugar (FBS) and on 28 th day blood glucose, K-Ras and GSK3 beta was measured. Results: In diabetic group blood GSK- 3 beta increase in comparison to control group (P < 0.05), also blood K-Ras decrease in the diabetic group (P < 0.05). Both extracts reduced GSK-3 beta level, however, this reduction was only statistically significant by U.dioica (P < 0.05). Compared to diabetic group, blood K-Ras level increased by both extract (P < 0.05). Also diabetes induction increase blood glucose levels and both extracts decrease its level significantly (P < 0.05).there is no significant differences among both extract effects on blood glucose, and K-Ras. Conclusion: For the first time shown that both extracts by regulating GSK-3 beta and K-Ras improve blood glucose level. More studies are needed to determine all the effects of these herbs.
