경상북도 지역의 암사망 신고자료의 정확성을 제고하고, 질 높은 지역보건사업계획의 수립을 위한 자료수집을 위해 기존의 사망신고체계에 보건소망을 추가로 이용하여 1991년부터 1998년까지 의 암사망 신고자료를 수집 분석하였다. 경상북도의 전체 사망자중에서 암사망자가 차지하는 비율은 1991년에는 16.7%에서 1998년에는 19.3%로 증가되었는데, 남자는 1991년 19.4%에서 1998년에는 22.3%로 증가하였고, 여자는 1991년 12.4%에서 1998년에는 15.5%로 여자에서의 비율의 증가가 컸다. 암 종류별 사망자는 전체적으로는 1991년에는 위암(41.5%), 간암(28.8%), 폐와 기관지암(8.7%)순이었고, 1998년에는 위암(24.7%), 간암(22.7%), 폐와 기관지암(19.3%)순으로 순위는 같았으나 사망비율의 차이는 있었다. 남자는 1991년에는 위암(40.2%), 간암(33.7%), 폐와 기관지암(10.2%) 순이었으나, 1998년에는 간암이 25.0%, 위암과 폐 기관지암이 공히 22.8%를 차지하여 순위의 변동이 있었다. 여자는 1991년에는 위암(44.7%), 간암(16.7%), 폐와 기관지암(5.0%)순이었고, 1998년에는 위암(27.8%), 간암(18.5%), 폐 기관지암(12.7%)순이었으며, 위암이 가장 많이 감소하였고, 폐 기관지암이 가장 많이 증가하였다. 암 종류별로 보면 위암, 간암, 후두암에 의한 사망은 감소하였고, 폐 기관지암, 식도암, 췌장암, 직장암에 의한 사망은 증가하였다. 여자의 경우는 유방암에 의한 사망은 증가하였고, 자궁암은 감소하는 추세였다. 1995년도 인구를 기준으로 연도별 연령보정 표준화 사망률을 산출하였는데, 전체적으로는 1991년에는 84.25명이었으며, 1998년에는 77.67으로 감소하였다. 남자는 1991년에 119.81명에서 101.82명으로 크게 감소하였고, 여자는 1991년 48.64명에서 1998년 53.80명으로 증가하였다. 연령대별로는 40대 미만에서는 위암, 간암, 폐 기관지암, 자궁암, 식도암은 감소하고, 췌장암, 직장암과 유방암은 증가하였다. 40대 이상에서는 위암, 간암, 자궁암, 후두암은 감소하였고, 폐 기관지암, 식도암, 백혈병, 췌장암, 직장암, 유방암은 증가하는 추세였다. 이상의 결과 경북지역에서는 전반적으로 폐 기관지암, 직장암, 식도암, 췌장암, 유방암 등에 의한 사망이 증가하는 추세이므로 이를 고려한 지역암보건사업이 이루어져야 하겠으며, 전국적으로도 국가암등록사업과 사망자료의 연계를 통한 정확한 사망통계를 근거로한 국가암보건계획의 수립과 평가가 필요하며, 이를 위하여 공공보건기관에서 정확한 암 사망통계의 산출을 위한 추진방안이 개발되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
조선시대 조경관련 식물의 이용경향 그리고 서유구의 편저 '임원경제지'를 통해 본 식물의 심고 가꾸기에 대한 종예법(種藝法)을 추적한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, '임원경제지'의 제3지에 해당하는 '만학지'편은 총 5권(총론, 과실수, 덩굴식물, 수목, 기타)으로 구성되었는데, 식물의 명칭과 품종, 토양조건, 심고 가꾸기, 접붙이기, 병충해 치료 방법 등을 체계적으로 기술하고 있는 조선시대 대표적 조경 관련 문헌이다. 둘째, 조경관련 용어에 있어서, 종재(種栽, 나무심기) 또는 재식(栽植), 재수시후(栽樹時候, 나무 심는 시기), 이재(移栽, 옮겨심기), 작원리(作園籬, 울타리 만들기), 명품(名品, 품종명), 토의(土宜, 적합한 토양), 종예(種藝, 심고 가꾸기), 의치(醫治, 식물치료), 호양(護養, 보호하고 기르기), 정원(庭園, 뜰) 또는 원포(園圃), 포자(圃者, 뜰 관리자) 또는 원정(園丁) 등의 용어를 사용하였다. 셋째, 조선시대 대표적 조경관련 문헌인 '양화소록', '지봉유설', '산림경제', '임원경제지'에 나타난 식물종의 출현 빈도는 화훼류, 과실수류, 목류, 덩굴류 순으로 분석되었으며, 낙엽수의 비중이 상록수에 비해 3.7배 이상 높게 나타났다. 이러한 화목류 및 과실수류, 낙엽활엽수 선호경향은 풍토환경에 조화되는 자생수종의 활용, 계절미를 위한 심미적 가치, 꽃과 열매를 위한 과실수의 도입 등 이용후생 경향, 그리고 성리학적 가치기준에 의한 상징성 등을 들 수 있다. 넷째, 식재 최적기를 음력 1월로 제시하였고, 비옥토를 많이 붙여 분 뜨기 하며, 생육방향에 맞춰 묻혔던 높이만큼 복토하여 식재하고 버팀목을 세워 보호해야 함을 강조하였다. 특히, 식재 최적기를 음력 정월로 기술하고 있는 점을 감안할 때 오늘날 이식 시기 판단에 많은 시사점을 제시한다. 한편, 씨앗 심기는 1치(3.3cm) 정도 깊이가 좋고, 꺾꽂이는 1월과 2월 사이에 손가락 굵기의 가지를 5치(16.5cm) 길이로 심는 것을 권장하였으며, 과실수를 접붙일 때 남쪽으로 뻗은 가지를 쓰면 과실이 많이 달리는데, 정월에 전지하면 과실이 탐스럽고 굵어진다 하였다. 다섯째, 생울타리는 가을에 멧대추를 빽빽하게 심어 이듬해 가을 1자(30cm) 간격으로 행렬이 맞게 이식하고, 1-2년이 지난 이듬해 봄에 7자(210cm) 정도 높이로 엮어야 함을 제시하였다. 한편, 느릅나무와 버드나무를 섞어 심고 엮어주면 가지와 잎이 창살처럼 기이하고 아름다운 울타리가 만들어 진다 하였으며, 울타리 조성에는 탱자나무, 무궁화나무, 버드나무, 사철나무, 산앵두나무, 오가피나무, 매실나무, 구기자나무, 산수유나무, 치자나무, 뽕나무, 찔레나무 등 다양한 수종을 권장하였다.
Much has teed changed in the field of hospital administration in the It wake of the rapid development of sciences, techniques ana systematic hospital management. However, we still have a long way to go in organization, in the quality of hospital employees and hospital equipment and facilities, and in financial support in order to achieve proper hospital management. The above factors greatly effect the ability of hospitals to fulfill their obligation in patient care and nursing services. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal methods of standardization and quality nursing so as to improve present nursing services through investigations and analyses of various problems concerning nursing administration. This study has been undertaken during the six month period from October 1971 to March 1972. The 41 comprehensive hospitals have been selected iron amongst the 139 in the whole country. These have been categorized according-to the specific purposes of their establishment, such as 7 university hospitals, 18 national or public hospitals, 12 religious hospitals and 4 enterprise ones. The following conclusions have been acquired thus far from information obtained through interviews with nursing directors who are in charge of the nursing administration in each hospital, and further investigations concerning the purposes of establishment, the organization, personnel arrangements, working conditions, practices of service, and budgets of the nursing service department. 1. The nursing administration along with its activities in this country has been uncritical1y adopted from that of the developed countries. It is necessary for us to re-establish a new medical and nursing system which is adequate for our social environments through continuous study and research. 2. The survey shows that the 7 university hospitals were chiefly concerned with education, medical care and research; the 18 national or public hospitals with medical care, public health and charity work; the 2 religious hospitals with medical care, charity and missionary works; and the 4 enterprise hospitals with public health, medical care and charity works. In general, the main purposes of the hospitals were those of charity organizations in the pursuit of medical care, education and public benefits. 3. The survey shows that in general hospital facilities rate 64 per cent and medical care 60 per-cent against a 100 per cent optimum basis in accordance with the medical treatment law and approved criteria for training hospitals. In these respects, university hospitals have achieved the highest standards, followed by religious ones, enterprise ones, and national or public ones in that order. 4. The ages of nursing directors range from 30 to 50. The level of education achieved by most of the directors is that of graduation from a nursing technical high school and a three year nursing junior college; a very few have graduated from college or have taken graduate courses. 5. As for the career tenure of nurses in the hospitals: one-third of the nurses, or 38 per cent, have worked less than one year; those in the category of one year to two represent 24 pet cent. This means that a total of 62 per cent of the career nurses have been practicing their profession for less than two years. Career nurses with over 5 years experience number only 16 per cent: therefore the efficiency of nursing services has been rated very low. 6. As for the standard of education of the nurses: 62 per cent of them have taken a three year course of nursing in junior colleges, and 22 per cent in nursing technical high schools. College graduate nurses come up to only 15 per cent; and those with graduate course only 0.4 per cent. This indicates that most of the nurses are front nursing technical high schools and three year nursing junior colleges. Accordingly, it is advisable that nursing services be divided according to their functions, such as professional, technical nurses and nurse's aides. 7. The survey also shows that the purpose of nursing service administration in the hospitals has been regulated in writing in 74 per cent of the hospitals and not regulated in writing in 26 per cent of the hospitals. The general purposes of nursing are as follows: patient care, assistance in medical care and education. The main purpose of these nursing services is to establish proper operational and personnel management which focus on in-service education. 8. The nursing service departments belong to the medical departments in almost 60 per cent of the hospitals. Even though the nursing service department is formally separated, about 24 per cent of the hospitals regard it as a functional unit in the medical department. Only 5 per cent of the hospitals keep the department as a separate one. To the contrary, approximately 12 per cent of the hospitals have not established a nursing service department at all but surbodinate it to the other department. In this respect, it is required that a new hospital organization be made to acknowledge the independent function of the nursing department. In 76 per cent of the hospitals they have advisory committees under the nursing department, such as a dormitory self·regulating committee, an in-service education committee and a nursing procedure and policy committee. 9. Personnel arrangement and working conditions of nurses 1) The ratio of nurses to patients is as follows: In university hospitals, 1 to 2.9 for hospitalized patients and 1 to 4.0 for out-patients; in religious hospitals, 1 to 2.3 for hospitalized patients and 1 to 5.4 for out-patients. Grouped together this indicates that one nurse covers 2.2 hospitalized patients and 4.3 out-patients on a daily basis. The current medical treatment law stipulates that one nurse should care for 2.5 hospitalized patients or 30.0 out-patients. Therefore the statistics indicate that nursing services are being peformed with an insufficient number of nurses to cover out-patients. The current law concerns the minimum number of nurses and disregards the required number of nurses for operation rooms, recovery rooms, delivery rooms, new-born baby rooms, central supply rooms and emergency rooms. Accordingly, tile medical treatment law has been requested to be amended. 2) The ratio of doctors to nurses: In university hospitals, the ratio is 1 to 1.1; in national of public hospitals, 1 to 0.8; in religious hospitals 1 to 0.5; and in private hospitals 1 to 0.7. The average ratio is 1 to 0.8; generally the ideal ratio is 3 to 1. Since the number of doctors working in hospitals has been recently increasing, the nursing services have consequently teen overloaded, sacrificing the services to the patients. 3) The ratio of nurses to clerical staff is 1 to 0.4. However, the ideal ratio is 5 to 1, that is, 1 to 0.2. This means that clerical personnel far outnumber the nursing staff. 4) The ratio of nurses to nurse's-aides; The average 2.5 to 1 indicates that most of the nursing service are delegated to nurse's-aides owing to the shortage of registered nurses. This is the main cause of the deterioration in the quality of nursing services. It is a real problem in the guest for better nursing services that certain hospitals employ a disproportionate number of nurse's-aides in order to meet financial requirements. 5) As for the working conditions, most of hospitals employ a three-shift day with 8 hours of duty each. However, certain hospitals still use two shifts a day. 6) As for the working environment, most of the hospitals lack welfare and hygienic facilities. 7) The salary basis is the highest in the private university hospitals, with enterprise hospitals next and religious hospitals and national or public ones lowest. 8) Method of employment is made through paper screening, and further that the appointment of nurses is conditional upon the favorable opinion of the nursing directors. 9) The unemployment ratio for one year in 1971 averaged 29 per cent. The reasons for unemployment indicate that the highest is because of marriage up to 40 per cent, and next is because of overseas employment. This high unemployment ratio further causes the deterioration of efficiency in nursing services and supplementary activities. The hospital authorities concerned should take this matter into a jeep consideration in order to reduce unemployment. 10) The importance of in-service education is well recognized and established. 1% has been noted that on the-job nurses. training has been most active, with nursing directors taking charge of the orientation programs of newly employed nurses. However, it is most necessary that a comprehensive study be made of instructors, contents and methods of education with a separate section for in-service education. 10. Nursing services'activities 1) Division of services and job descriptions are urgently required. 81 per rent of the hospitals keep written regulations of services in accordance with nursing service manuals. 19 per cent of the hospitals do not keep written regulations. Most of hospitals delegate to the nursing directors or certain supervisors the power of stipulating service regulations. In 21 per cent of the total hospitals they have policy committees, standardization committees and advisory committees to proceed with the stipulation of regulations. 2) Approximately 81 per cent of the hospitals have service channels in which directors, supervisors, head nurses and staff nurses perform their appropriate services according to the service plans and make up the service reports. In approximately 19 per cent of the hospitals the staff perform their nursing services without utilizing the above channels. 3) In the performance of nursing services, a ward manual is considered the most important one to be utilized in about 32 percent of hospitals. 25 per cent of hospitals indicate they use a kardex; 17 per cent use ward-rounding, and others take advantage of work sheets or coordination with other departments through conferences. 4) In about 78 per cent of hospitals they have records which indicate the status of personnel, and in 22 per cent they have not. 5) It has been advised that morale among nurses may be increased, ensuring more efficient services, by their being able to exchange opinions and views with each other. 6) The satisfactory performance of nursing services rely on the following factors to the degree indicated: approximately 32 per cent to the systematic nursing activities and services; 27 per cent to the head nurses ability for nursing diagnosis; 22 per cent to an effective supervisory system; 16 per cent to the hospital facilities and proper supply, and 3 per cent to effective in·service education. This means that nurses, supervisors, head nurses and directors play the most important roles in the performance of nursing services. 11. About 87 per cent of the hospitals do not have separate budgets for their nursing departments, and only 13 per cent of the hospitals have separate budgets. It is recommended that the planning and execution of the nursing administration be delegated to the pertinent administrators in order to bring about improved proved performances and activities in nursing services.
