Objectives This study aims at using information about treatment satisfaction obtained from surveying pediatric traffic-accident patients to guide future improvement in the quality of traditional Korean medical services. Methods The survey included 95 pediatric patients treated for traffic-accident injuries at a traditional Korean medical institution. The questionnaire was developed from a similar satisfaction survey for adult traffic-accident patients and approved by a traditional Korean pediatrician. The year-long survey ran from April 2020 to April 2021. The collected data were analysed using t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, and cross-tabulation. Results Of the pediatric traffic-accident patients surveyed, the highest percentage of children were aged between 1 and 7 years (70.5%). Just over half the patients (55.8%) complained of sleeping difficulties, and 54.7% exhibited symptoms of anxiety and fear. Almost all the patients surveyed (97.9%) reported an improvement in their symptoms after undergoing traditional Korean medical treatment. The degree of satisfaction with the treatment correlated with the alleviation of symptoms. Approximately 83.2% of respondents reported 'difficult-to-administer treatment for children' and rated their satisfaction degree comparatively lower than those patients with no reported treatment difficulties. The most struggling treatment was herbal medicine (42.1%), highlighting the need for improvement in the adaptability of herbal medicine to the treatment of pediatric patients. Conclusions Treatment acceptance by pediatric traffic-accident patients affects reported treatment satisfaction. It is important to improve treatment experience and adaptability to pediatric patients to improve the perceived quality of traditional Korean medical services.

Objectives : The main purpose of this study is to find out the characteristic of patients admitted in the Oriental Medical Hospital due to traffic accident. Methods : 500 inpatients of traffic accident from Jan 1, 2005 to May 31, 2009 were analyzed according to medical charts. Results : The numbers of traffic accident patient in Oriental Medical Hospital in 2008 were bigger than in 2005. Most of patients were cared by western medicine right after accidents and several days later they started searching for oriental medical treatments. Most of the symptoms were not so severe at the beginning of the treatment. The method of the treatment were restricted by automobile insurance limitation in the field of oriental medicine. Conclusions : This study suggested that Oriental medical treatments are effective in traffic accident patients without surgical injury. Further studies are needed for progress report that after traffic accident patients are discharged from the Oriental Medical Hospital.
Purpose: The study aimed to analyze the current status of traffic accident victims who were transported by 119 ambulances within the administrative district of Chungnam province and provide essential data for accident prevention. Methods: The pre-hospital care records of patients who called the 119 emergency service in 2019 were obtained from the Chungnam Fire Department. Data pertaining to 13,663 traffic accident victims who were transported to hospitals were analyzed. Results: Patients in those aged ≥60 years accounted for 49.8% of the total cases. In patients aged ≥80 years(n=2,154), motor cycle accidents were highest as 28.3%. In addition, cultivator (n=135) and buggy car (n=79) accident victims were the highest in aged ≥80 years as 66.7% and 67.1%, respectively. Traffic accident victims-population ratio in Chungnam was 0.65%, wherein 2.03% included population aged ≥80 years. Conclusion: It was clear that accidents varied across administrative districts depending on the age group of population distribution. Thus, safety measures for preventing motorcycle, cultivator, and buggy car accidents are necessary for areas with many older people aged ≥80 years.

Objectives : The main purpose of this Survey is to make a research on the actual condition of Automobile insurance system in oriental medical care. Methods : In this research, we surveyed 544 patients of traffic accident who were visited oriental medical clinic or hospital in Daegu, Korea from January, 1, 2008 to December, 31, 2008 according to medical chart. They made up Questionnaire about sex, age, pattern of accidents, days to visit oriental medical clinic, motivation to visiting clinic, damaged part of the body, chief complaint, treatment given to them, medication, tests, days of treatment and the effect. Results : The patients visited oriental medical clinic or hospital were fewer numbers from most of traffic accident patients. And most of their symptoms were light and the treatment and test of oriental medicine was limited for them because of automobile insurance limitation. Conclusions : For this study, we confirmed a possibility for the treatment of traffic accident patients in oriental medical treatment. Still, we needs to expend the boundary of treatment and to come into application of insurance.
Medical services aren't done by doctors only but by different medical personnels. If any medical accident takes place, to what extent doctors, nurses and other personnels should respectively be liable for that should be determined. And when an employed doctor does any illegal medical act, his or her employer also should be responsible for that as a user. If a medical accident occurs, the victim or patient usually claims against the employer of the doctor sho causes the accident for compensation. And those who assist medical treatment, including nurses, should be liable for their own acts, but in case their doctor doesn't give any appropriate directions, the doctor should shoulder the liability. This indicates that nurses are also professional medical personnels, and that they should share the liability as well. There are lots of different medical personnels, but doctors and nurses are the pivot of team treatment, and nurses should also take responsibility for their services. Doctors and nurses are equal, as they are in pursuit of the same, namely, helping patients recover their health. Only their roles are different. If they respect each other and see each other as being responsible for their own roles, they will be able to consult together. Medical information on patients and nursing information should be shared by both of them, and patients should be provided accurate treatment and nursing services. If those who offer nursing services are unaware of required information due to conflicts with doctors, it might result in threatening the safety of patients. And in case any important information isn't properly conveyed between them, it might trigger a medical accident. Sophisticated and complex medical science requires medical personnels to be professional, and nurses as well as doctors need to be an expert. The fact treatment-related accidents take place often indicates that treatment is basically attended with danger. Furthermore, patients respond to all sorts of investigation and medicine in a different manner. They should be professional and knowledgeable to predict how they might respond and prevent any possible hazardous situations, and they are expected to have more knowledge in the future. Nonetheless, there aren't yet enough studies on the legal liability of nurses, and this study is expected to pave the way for future research on nurse liability against medical accidents.
Objectives: In South Korea, traffic accident victims can be treated under automobile insurance coverage. Korean medicine (KM) clinics have reported the largest number of automobile insurance fee claims among medical institutions. This study investigated the status of the KM automobile insurance system in a single KM clinic. Methods: We retrospectively surveyed the medical charts of 342 traffic accident patients treated at the Jisung KM clinic between January 2009 and June 2017. Results: Most of the patients were men and in their 30s. The most common method of locating the clinic was an internet search. The most common traffic accident type was collision between vehicles (83.63%), with 70.76% of patients visiting during the most acute phase. The major disease codes included S434, M4836, F072, S0600, and S3350. The most frequent treatment period was within 1 month of the accident, and most patients received 10 or fewer treatments. The mean treatment duration and number of treatments were 37.68 ± 45.11 days and 11.68 ± 10.63 treatments, respectively. The initial pain numerical rating scale (NRS), 7.32 ± 0.96, decreased to 3.57 ± 1.40 at the end of treatment, with a symptom improvement score of 1.87 ± 0.60. Regarding sex, age, disease duration, location at the time of the accident, presence of additional and psychological symptoms, and chuna, there were statistically significant differences in treatment duration and number of treatments. A higher number of treatments and the longer treatment duration was associated with a higher initial NRS, lower post-treatment NRS, and better improvement score. Since the introduction of traffic accident (TA) pharmacopuncture, the rate of use of a single type of pharmacopuncture increased; however, no significant differences in treatment duration and number, NRS before and after treatment, and improvement score were observed between treatment groups before and after TA pharmacopuncture. No adverse reactions were observed for any treatment. Conclusion: This study confirmed the previous findings of a high treatment effect of KM under automobile insurance. We also observed significant correlations based on a detailed medical status, which may explain the increasing use of KM in the automobile insurance system. Additional multi-center studies in different regions are needed.
This study was conducted to analyze patient days and medical care benefits of finger-amputated patients due to industrial accident. The 161 personal data on medical care for finger-amputated patients due to industrial accident(88 in 1994, 73 in 1995) of Regional Labor Office and hospital characteristics were analyzed. The major results of this study were as follows : According to stepwise multiple regression analysis of patient days, number of amputated finger, location of hospital, bed capacity of hospital, presence of plastic surgery in hospital, number of orthopedic specialist per 100 beds, sick leave benefits per day were the major significant variables in order. In stepwise multiple regression analysis with medical care benefits as a dependent variable, presence of plastic surgery in hospital, number of orthopedic specialist per 100 beds, number of amputated finger, sick leave benefits per day, age, bed capacity of hospital were the major significant variables in order. The minimum optimal size with the lowest medical care benefits was a hospital with 300 beds. This shows that the economy of scale is also applicable for hospital industry. In summary, presence of plastic surgery in hospital, number of orthopedic specialist per 100 beds, number of amputated finger, sick leave benefits per day, bed capacity of hospital were the major significant variables in both patient days and medical care benefits.
Objectives The purpose of this study was to find out the characteristics of children patients who had been treated in the Oriental Medical Hospital due to traffic accidents. Methods The study was carried out with 121 children patients who visited the Oriental Medical Hospital from April 2011 to March 2012 and was analyzed by reviewing the patients' charts. Results In the distribution of sex the ratio between boys and girls were similar, but regarding the age, 0~6 year-old group was more than that of 7~15 year-old group. In the traffic accident patterns, 87.6% of the entire children patients were injured by car crash. The highest type in the collision between cars was rear-ending impact. The most patients (48.8%) visited our hospital for oriental medical treatment in less than 3 days after the traffic accident. The number of the first visitors in the Oriental Medical Hospital were 77 (63.6%) and those who visited other western hospitals before and were 44 (36.4%). The most frequent duration of admission and treatment in OPD was less than 7 days. Sleeping disorders (37.1%) were diagnosed the highest in 0~6 year-old group and C-spine sprain (49.0%) was diagnosed the highest at 0~7 years-old group. Herb medications were prescribed to relieve anxiety for 0~6 year-old group and for 7~15 year-old group, those were prescribed to activate blood eliminating phlegm and to normalize Qi flow. The highest effective treatment period was less than 7 days. Conclusions This data suggested that the oriental medical care could be more effective in treating children victims of traffic accidents by confirming many different symptoms depending on the age.
