  • 오늘날 불확실성이 증가하면서 조직구성원의 전문역량, 즉 혁신역량에 대한 중요성이 커지고 있다. 이러한 실정에도 불구하고, 조직원 개인의 혁신역량에 대해 혁신산출물을 만들기 위한 투입요소, 혁신 활동(혁신역량보유, 발휘, 증진노력 등) 그리고 혁신산출물 간의 관계에 관한 연구는 아직까지 많지 않은 편이다. 이런 원인은 기존 혁신연구단위가 국가단위, 산업단위, 기업단위에서 이루어지는 것이 일반적이기 때문이며, 상대적으로 특정기업의 투입, 산출 및 혁신활동 자체에 대한 분석이 다소 부족한 편이다. 그러므로 이 연구는 기존 혁신연구의 틀과 시각에서 벗어나, 특정조직중심의 개인별 혁신성과와 그 성과와 관련성이 높을 것으로 추정되는 혁신활동들에 대한 네 가지 가설, 즉 첫째는 역량의 차이에 따라 혁신성과는 차이가 있을 것이다. 둘째, 학습시간의 차이에 따라 역량은 차이가 있을 것이다. 셋째, 학습시간의 차이에 따라 혁신성과는 차이가 있을 것이다. 넷째, 학습시간과 혁신성과 간의 관계에는 혁신역량의 매개효과가 있을 것이다(구조모형 검정)는 문제에 대해 정량분석을 시도하여, 조직 경쟁력을 향상시키기 위한 정책적 시사점을 도출하는 것을 연구목적으로 한다.

  • 최근 삶의 질에 대한 관심과 함께 건강에 대한 관심이 높아져 질병의 예방 및 진단에 건강검진의 기본적인 검사로 복부 초음파가 많이 이루어지고 있으며, 평소에 특별한 자각증상이 없는 사람들도 많은 질환을 발견하게 되는데, 그 중 지방간은 초음파 검사에서 많이 진단되어 지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 일개 종합병원에서 건강검진을 시행한 15~81세의 검진자 3,582명을 연구대상으로 하였다. 복부초음파를 이용해서 지방간을 정상간, 경증지방간, 중등증 지방간, 중증지방간으로 분류하였고, 혈액학적지질검사, 비만도 측정을 위한 체질량지수와 체지방률 측정, 일반적인 특성으로 일상생활습관과의 관련성을 비교하였고, 그 결과 성별에 따른 지방간의 유병률은 38.8%(남자 46.2%, 여자 24.2%)로 남자가 여자 보다 높고, 지방간과 혈액학적 지질과의 위험도는 중성지방이 5.00배, 콜레스테롤이 2.70배, HDL이 2.62배, LDL은 2.27배의 순이었다. 체질량지수 및 체지방률과의 위험도는 체질량지수 7.28배, 체지방률 3.16배순이고, 육식주의자와, 음주군이 위험도가 높았으며, 지방간 발생에 영향을 주는 요인은 연령, 체질량지수, 체지방률, 중성지방, HDL, LDL, GGT, 성별이 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 건강검진을 목적으로 실시한 복부 초음파결과 중에서 지방간 소견을 보이고 그 외에도 다른 유소견의 발견이 가능함을 볼 수 있었다. 지방간은 여러 다른 임상증상과 함께 나타날 수 있으므로 혈액학적인 검사에서 지질 등의 관계를 살펴볼 때 검사에 이상이 있을 경우나 비만, 체지방률, 식습관, 음주, 운동과의 상관관계 등을 보면서 초음파 검사로 추적검사를 시행할 때 질병의 예방과 치료에 많은 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

  • 배경 및 목적: $^{201}Tl$ 심근 관류 SPECT에서, 폐-심장 섭취비(lung-to-heart uptake ratio; LHR)의 정량적 측정은 관동맥 질환자의 예후를 평가할 수 있는 지표이다. 그러나 최근$^{99m}Tc-sestamibi$ (MIBI)를 이용한 심근 관류 SPECT가 많이 이용되고 있으나 MIBI의 폐섭취가 관동맥 질환자에 $^{201}Tl$ LHR와 같은 의미를 가지는 지는 의문이 있어왔다. 본 연구는 MIBI 주사후 1시간에 촬영한 전면상을 이용하여 LHR을 구하여 좌심실 구혈률, 관류 결손 정도와의 상관 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: Bruce법으로 운동 부하를 실시한 241명(남성 130명, 평균 연령 55세)을 대상으로 하였다. 부하검사와 휴식기 검사를 같은 날에 실시하는 프로토콜(1일 영상법)은 152명, 다른 날에 실시하는 프로토콜(2일 영상법)은 89명에서 시행하였다. 운동 부하 SPECT는 MIBI를 주사한 후 1시간에 이중헤드 감마 카메라를 이용하여 얻었다. 폐와 심장의 MIBI 섭취 정도는 20초간 얻은 전면상에서 폐와 심장에 관심영역을 설정하여 구하고, 이를 이용하여 섭취비를 계산하였다. AutoQUANT 소프트 웨어를 이용한 자동화 방법으로 운동부하시 좌심실 구혈률(LVEF)을 구하였고 운동부하시 관류 결손 정도(Summed Stress Score, SSS)를 구하였다. LVEF에 따라 3군(35%이하, 36-50%, 50%초과), SSS에 따라 4군(4미만, 4-8, 9-13, 13초과)으로 나누었다. 증가된 LHR의 정의는 관류 결손이 없는 남, 여 각 군에서 구한 LHR의 평균값에 표준편차의 2배값을 더한 값을 초과하는 것으로 판단하였고 각 군에서 증가된 LHR을 보인 환자의 분포를 구하여 비교하였다. 결과: 정상 관류 소견을 보였던 130명의 분석에서, 여성에 비해 남성에서 LHR이 유의하게 높았고 정상 관류 소견을 보였던 130명의 남성과 여성 모두에서, 1일 영상법와 2일 영상법을 실시한 군 사이의 LHR은 의미 있는 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 정상 관류 소견을 보인 군과 관류 결손을 보인 군 사이의 비교에서는 관류 결손이 있는 남성과 여성에서 관류 결손이 없는 남성과 여성에 비해 LHR이 유의하게 높았다. 관류 결손이 있는 111명의 분석에서는 LHR과 EF는 역상관 관계, LHR과 SSS 사이에는 양의 상관 관계가 관찰되었고, 남성에서는 통계학적 의의가 있었으나 여성에서는 통계학적 의의는 없었다. EF군에 따른 분석에서는 좌심실 구혈률이 낮을수록 LHR이 높았고, SSS군에 따른 분석에서 관류 결손이 높은 군에서 유의하게 LHR가 높았다. 결론: 일상적인 운동부하 심근 관류 SPECT상 관류 결손이 있는 환자에서 폐심장 섭취비는 좌심실 구혈률과 심근 부하시 관류 결손 정도가 클수록 증가된 폐-심장 섭취비를 보인 환자가 많았으며, 좌심실 구혈률이 낮을수록 그리고 관류 결손의 정도가 클수록 폐-심장 섭취비가 증가하였다 이런 결과로 보아 주사후 1시간 $^{99m}Tc-MIBI$의 LHR은 좌심실 부전과 큰 관류 결손을 나타내는 간접적인 지표로 생각되어 진다. 그러나 관류 결손의 정도나 좌심실 구혈률 감소 정도가 미약한 군에서는 폐-심장 섭취비가 정상군과 비슷하여, 저위험군의 감별에는 제하점이 있다.

  • 1. Objectives: Though the eating habits have improved and the living method has become convenient according to the economic growth thanks to the modern industrialization, because of the lack of exercise, obesity, wrong eating habits and stress etc, various symptoms of disease of adults are on the rise. This is the phenomenon that happens as the eating life has become life in the West along with the inundation of the western culture in our society. In this perspective, there has been many various clinical research that's been proceeded so far about the physical constitution and obesity, but there has been little research on the objective analysis of the clinical research about the alimentotherapy using taeeumjoweetang. 2. Methods: In this research we have checked the weights, fat rates, fat weight, abdominal fat rate, blood pressure, and BMI over the objects of the women that were diagnosed as lunisolar system as their physical constitution, and assessed the paramecium lipid, in-blood antioxidation enzyme and the damage of oxidization in the urine by physical constitution-specific of the body shapes that were determined by BMI. The statistical analysis of the current research was processed by using of SPSS 17.0 program. We have figure out statistical amounts such as the arithmetic average, average deviation rate and percentage number. Fro the verification of he significancy of each elements, we have used the paired t-test, ANOVA, Chi-square test at the level of p<0.05. 3. Results and Conclusions: Their characteristics are age $21.20{\pm}1.35$, height $160.30{\pm}6.11cm$, weight $64.66{\pm}8.72kg$, fat rates are $35.97{\pm}4.87%$, fat amount $23.40{\pm}5.48$, abdominal fat rate $0.823{\pm}0.03$, BMI $25.12{\pm}2.79kg/m^2$, and systolic blood pressure $111.60{\pm}10.28mmHg$ and diastolic blood pressure $68.60{\pm}7.43mmHg$ and we have let them take the medicine twice a day for 8 weeks. The clinical result for the Cholesterol, Triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, SGOT, SGPT, of the object people was that for the function of the liver, the result of the SGOT and SGPT test was $17.16{\pm}3.05$, $15.00{\pm}2.99IU/L$, which was a decrease, and had statistical meaning, but for the SGOT, though the figure reduced to $11.92{\pm}4.61$, $10.80{\pm}3.07$, it had no statistical meaning. For the whole cholesterol level, the figure reduced to $169.00{\pm}19.95$, $160.08{\pm}22.52$ mg/dL and had statistical significance(p<0.05). Neuter fat number, Triglyceride has slightly increased to $67.52{\pm}36.32$, $68.08{\pm}47.33$ mg/dL but did not have any statistical meaning. The antioxdant enzyme marker standard marker, SOD has increased to $2.52{\pm}0.73$, $2.86{\pm}0.60U/ml$, and had statistical significance(p<0.01). Catalase also increased by $0.63{\pm}0.18$, $1.07{\pm}0.25mmol/ml$ and had statistical meaning(p<0.01). GPx also increased to $204.76{\pm}32.64$ nmol/ml and had statistical meaning(p<0.01). But, for the Total antioxidant, though it has raised to $1.51{\pm}0.26$, $1.57{\pm}0.17nmol/{\mu}l$, it did not have any statistical meaning. MDA of oxidative stress marker has decreased to $1.70{\pm}0.68{\mu}g/ml$, $1.21{\pm}0.50{\mu}g/m$ and had statistical significance(p<0.01). 8-OHdG also decreased $3.35{\pm}0.95ng/ml$, $2.21{\pm}0.50ng/ml$ and had statistical meaning(p<0.01). In this research, we have analyzed the various markers relating to BFM and changes in oxidative enzyme in blood by takingtaeeumjoweetang. Taeeumjoweetang has the positive effect on inbody antioxidant system and reducing the content of cholesterol, which is proven to help losing weight and improving hyperlipidemia statistically. With this research, we hope to improve the lifestyle of those who are either obese or need to manage their dietary habits, and also to become the touchstone of integrating Oriental Medicine with the science of food & nutrition.

  • Background: From November 2006, The national health insurance system in the Republic of Korea began to cover prescribed long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) in patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency. This study examined the current status of LTOT after national health insurance coverage. Methods: Between November 1, 2006 and June 30, 2008, the medical records of patients who were prescribed LTOT by chest physicians were reviewed. The data was collected from 13 university hospitals. Results: 197 patients (131 male and 66 female) were prescribed LTOT. The mean age was 64.3${\pm}$13.0 years. The most common underlying disease was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (n=103, 52.3%). Chest physicians prescribed LTOT using arterial blood gas analysis or a pulse oxymeter (74.6%), symptoms (14%), or a pulmonary function test (11.2%). The mean oxygen flow rate was 1.56${\pm}$0.68 L/min at rest, 2.08${\pm}$0.91 L/min during exercise or 1.51${\pm}$0.75 L/min during sleep. Most patients (98.3%) used oxygen concentrators. Only 19% of patients used ambulatory oxygen supplies. The oxygen saturation before and after LTOT was 83.18${\pm}$10.48% and 91.64${\pm}$7.1%, respectively. After LTOT, dyspnea improved in 81.2% of patients. The mean duration of LTOT was 16.85${\pm}$6.71 hours/day. The rental cost for the oxygen concentrator and related electricity charges were 48,414${\pm}$15,618 won/month and 40,352${\pm}$36,815 won/month, respectively. Approximately 75% of patients had a regular visit by the company. 5.8% of patients had personal pulse oxymetry. 54.9% of patients had their oxygen saturation checked on each visit hospital. 8% of patients were current smokers. The most common complaint with LTOT was the limitation of daily activity (53%). The most common complaint with oxygen concentrators was noise (41%). Conclusion: The patients showed good compliance with LTOT. However, only a few patients used an ambulatory oxygen device or had their oxygen saturation measured.

  • This study is designed to facilitate the creation of home environment conducive to the family taking care of chronic bed-ridden patients with more effective method. The need for this study has emerged against the background of marked changes in the structure of ailments and causes of death, resulting in the number and plights of chronic bed-ridden patients as well as of a rapid increase in demand for medical care and resulting premature discharge. Keeping these in mind, this study focused on home-wards where the majority of chronic bed-ridden patients are being cared for. Despite. their overriding importance, home-words are less than efficient in caring (or chronic bed-ridden patients. These circumstances require the designing of home-wards that can offer greater comfort to patients and at the same time make things easier for caregivers, on the basis of an overall analysis of patients' life and home - ward situation. According1y this study adopted a Participant Observation Method derived cultural anthropology, Toward this end, 3 patients were chosen as subjects of this study for intensive interviewing and participant observation. In the process of this field re-search efforts were made to collect emprical data, that is, to faithfully record the words of the subjects and their caregivers for analysis and interpretation. The findings of these analyses are as follows. Firstly, the chronic bed-ridden patients are mostly being taken care by close family members. Secondly, a room for the exclusive use of the patient, floor, kitchen, bathroom and multipurpose space were found to be necessary for proper caring of the patient. These spaces were respectively used with a view to 1) accomodating the patient as well as caregivers' activities, 2) keeping general and medical supplies and other appliances for patient's care and drying the patient's washing, 3) preparing and keeping the patient's foods and beverages, 4) keeping the supplies necessary for cleaning the patient's body and treating the patient's eliminations, 5) washing the patient's clothes, underwears and bedclothes. The patient's room in turn is subdivided into six portions in terms of uses : specifically the places for accomodating 1) the patient, 2) medical supplies, 3) medicines, 4) linens St clothes, 5) bedclothes and, 6) diapers. Thirdly, the activities of the caregiver are subdivided into seven key areas : hygiene, exercise, diet, elimination, therapeutic nursing, prevention of sore, and other activities. Each area is further classified into several different activities of caring. These activities we mainly carried out in the patient's room. Fourthly, the supplies for caring the chronic bed-ridden patient is divided into two large domains : medical and general supplies. Finally, three main problems areas were found in this study on the part of caregivers, that is, sore prevention, hygiene problem related frequent urination / defecation, the caregiver's physical, psych ological and emotional burden. In consideration of the aforesaid problem areas, a model home-ward was developed in this study. The newly-developed model has been found to have the following six advantages. Firstly, the time and effort required for maintaining the patient's hygiene are reduced, thus relievins the caregiver's physical and psychological bur-den. Secondly, the patient's hygiene can be maintained in satisfactory conditions, because the patient's eliminations are more easily removed. Thirdly, skin irritations caused by the patient's eliminations were remarkably reduced and so were the patient's sores due to moisture and bacteria. Fourthly, the home-ward have a tilt-table ef-fect thanks to the inclining room floor. This improves the patient's cardiovascular function as well as constantly changes pressed skin areas and thus prevents sores. Fifthly, improved shelf arrangements help make the best use of patient's supplies. Sixthly, the trouble of continuously changing clothes, underwears, diapers & bedclothes is remarkably reduced simply by covering the patient with cotton sheets when laid in bed. This is espected to cut down expenses by reducing the comsumptions of diapers and other disposable supplies.

  • This study was done to investigate how importantly midwives thought of Lamaze Method of Childbirth, how satisfactorily they performed their Lamaze Method of Childbirth and what inhibited their activities from being performed if not done satisfactorily. The subjects of this study were 76midwives at midwifery in Pusan, Deagu, Kyungnam and Kyungbok. Data were collected by using questionaire from Sep. 1 to Sep.30, 1991. The measurement tools was maded by the researcher based on Kim's scale for prenatal nursing activities. The statistical analysis was done with based statistical values likes frequencies, means, standard deviations and advanced methods such as Pearson's correlation coefficient, 1-test, F-test, F-test by using SPSS package program. The results of this study can be summarized as follows ; 1. The results of Investigating perception according to importance degree and performance degree of Lamaze Method of Childbring showed that midwives were slightly below both perception according to importance(2.17) and performance(2.16) of Lamaze Method of Childbirth 2. Inhibiting factors of Lamaze Method of Childbirth were abscence of husband(3.08), lack of teaching room(2.71), and lack of books or literature of Lamaze Method (2.58). 3. There appears to be a positive relation between perception according to importance degree and performance degree of Lamaze Method of Childbirth (r=0.69, P<0.01). There appears to be a negative relation between perception according to importance degree and inhibit factors of performance (r=-0.38, P<0.01). There appears to be a negative relation between performance and inhibit factors of performance (r=-0.22. P<0.01). 4. The item of highest perception defree in prenatal education is 1st, Consultation about sexual life (2.53), End, illustration of the importance of a bath and perinal cleanliness and Avoidance of excessive respiration method and also its comfortable application during uterine contractility(2.45). The item of lowest perception degree is about pregnant symptom sign and predicted date of birth (E.D.C.). On the other hand, The item of highest performance degree is education about nurtrition during pregnacy. 2nd, Illustration of the Importance of a bath and perineal cleanness(2.45). The lowest one is leaching the pregnant woman and her family about the role of husband and her family and also teaching the couple to learn exercise and respiration method (1.84). Though importance perception degree and performance degree is low. Midwives who wert subject in this research shoves that they perform general items concerning prenatal education well. 5. In the relationship between perception according to importance degree of Lamaze Method of Childbirth and the general characteristics of subjects, the differences in mean number of visiting pregnacies for 1 month. 6. In the relationship between performance degree of Lamaze Method of Childbirth and the general characteristics of subjects, the differences in age, marriage, and mean number of visiting pregnancies for 1 month. With the above information we see the importance of midwife prenatal care education and high correlation between performance degree and perception degree. When Lamaze prenatal education is well performed the number of pregnant woman who have follow-up, check-ups increase. Therefore in this research we can validity that there is a relation between Lamaze prenatal education and patient follow-up. This research showes in a situation where if one does not maximally perform a prenatal education there is a possibility that the popular use of midwife activities may encounter obstacles so the education to save new knowledge and training for prenatal education is needed as a function of Lamaze prenatal education, when a special Lamaze education is well performed for the pregnant woman, who follows-up at amidwife clinic. With the above conclusion we can suggest : 1. Continued research which minimized obstacles to Lamaze prenatal education is needed. 2. The official method of midwives is necessary.

  • The case management has been applied to improve the quality of care and the cost-effectiveness in the most health care institutions. In a way of case management, the critical pathway(CP) has been executed in many acute care settings, focused on the diagnoses with high cost, high volume, and high risk. This study was conducted to develop a case management program using CP as an intervention of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis for the surgery of posterolateral fusion, and to find out the effects of the critical pathway on the quality of nursing care, patient satisfaction as an outcome of care, length of stay and medical charge, and nurses' job satisfaction. At the same time, patients' functional states were checked with the Oswestry Low Back Pain Index, to show that the CP would not decrease the patients' function compared to the control group. The subjects were 25 control patients with a usual operation of lumbar fusion and 25 experimental patients with CP. They were all female, aged $50s{\sim}70s$, admitted in the Orthopedic surgery ward of a university hospital. Also nurses on the floor using CP were asked to respond to measurement tool of job satisfaction before and after the application of CP, and compared with other nurses on the different wards. Data were analyzed with t-test for continuous variables and chi-square for non-parametric variables in addition to the reliability test of the measurement tools. The results of this study were as followings: 1. Patients' functional states The differences in Oswestry scores of the experimental and control groups assessed at preoperation and at discharge were not statistically significant. The change in scores of the experimental group measured at preoperation and at discharge was larger than that of the control group, however the difference was not statistically significant. The results indicate that the CP did not decrease the patients' functional status. 2. The quality of nursing care The total of quality of nursing care given to the experimental group was better than that of the control group(P=.000). In addition, the experimental group showed better scores of quality of every item of care than the control group(P=.000 -.004). 3. Patient satisfaction Patients of the experimental group were not more satisfied with general care than the control group. But they were more satisfied with discharge care of 'explanation about medication, body posture, and brace application' and 'explanation about the adjustment of daily living and exercise during recovery'(P= .047, P=.028). 4. Nurses' job satisfaction Nurses working with the CP showed more job satisfaction than before the CP introduction(P=.048). But the control group of nurses on a different floor showed no change in job satisfaction at the same period of time. 5. Length of stay and medical charge The mean length of stay of the experimental group was shorter than that of the control group without statistical significance. The charge of medication and treatment of the experimental group were smaller than that of the control group(P=.011, P=.000). The results of the study support that the case management using critical pathway enables to improve the quality of care and job satisfaction, to reduce the medical charge, and consequently to increase satisfaction with care. However, the case management should be instituted focusing on the quality improvement of nursing and the client satisfaction, not just for the purpose of cost-effectiveness of health care facilities.
