Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the welfare status of nurses and the status of fixed night shifts and flexible work arrangements in both general hospitals and advanced general hospitals in Korea. Methods: A total of 167 hospitals participated in this study, done from April to October 2018. Results: There were 103 hospitals utilizing the fixed night shift system, 22 in the two-shift system, 3 in the fixed holiday shift, 79 in the fixed shift system, and 39 in the short-time working system. The average welfare benefits for nurses increased to 33.02 million won on average. However, welfare services for the nurses were poor: 41.8% of the respondents had a nurses' lounge, 81.7% were given dormitory space at their place of employment, 41.8% had access to welfare facilities, and 56.4% were provided with welfare support countermeasures. Conclusion: The results show an increasing trend of hospitals to utilize fixed night shift and flexible work arrangements. An institutional strategy at the national policy level should be established to implement flexible work arrangements including the fixed night shift system, which has a poor level of welfare.

The purpose of this study were to review the current problems of rural welfare and to suggest desirable direction for development of welfare in rural Korea. Specific objectives of the study were to investigate the current status and problems of rural welfare and to search for the desirable directions for rural welfare development in Korea. The major findings of the study were as follows ; 1. Some of the current problems of rural welfare were; (1) difficulty in getting a job for stable income, (2) seriousness of medical care and aging of rural population, (3) decrease in number of rural school children and unfavorable educational environment, and (4) insufficiency in facility, manpower and program for recreation and cultural activities in rural area. 2. Problems of rural welfare were not independent in rural Korea, but the most of the problems were interrelated to each other. Integrated and comprehensive approach would be necessary to solve the problems of rural welfare. 3. Clean environment, stable and rewarding life, pride and self esteem of rural occupation should be the goals of better integrated rural welfare development, and healthfulness and quality of life should be ensured in rural society. 4. Urban oriented national policy based on urban centered political power was one of the causes of under development in rural welfare by creating rapid decrease in rural population and aging. Various problems in economic, educational, cultural and medical aspects of rural society should be solved. Further research on rural welfare should be conducted to increase and to strengthen rural welfare development in Korea.

Objectives: This study examined how deprivation differed by region and the effect those differences had on suicidal ideation among the local population. Methods: Data collected over 10 years (2012-2021) in the Korea Welfare Panel Study were organized into 3 categories: metropolitan, city, and rural. A panel analysis was conducted on the impact of deprivation indices, socio-demographic characteristics, and life satisfaction on suicidal ideation in each category. Results: Income, divorce status, family relationship satisfaction, and medical deprivation had a significant impact on suicidal ideation in metropolitan areas, whereas these variables did not have significant effects in rural areas. In other words, income, family, and medical support were more impactful in city areas. Conclusions: Although the deprivation index was higher in rural areas than in city areas due to an aging population and reduced income levels, the mental health of rural residents was found to be generally better than that of city residents. The possibility that this is related to the strength of relationships within the respective communities should be considered in light of recent discussions on relational welfare.

Recently, the small-scale local governments of japan are enlarging and enriching the service of health, medical and welfare facilities for the elderly . Intensive arrangement of the three types of facilities is one of the effective ways especially for the small-scale local governments. The service network between facilities benefits by the intensive arrangement. Benefits include the network of the medical service, the share of care information, the share of space and equipment. It can be a notable feature in the intensive arrangement that the elderly were taken from welfare facilities (especially dayscare center) to hospital of high movement frequency quickly. Instead of EV path as possible, It is desirable to stand close between facilities of high movement frequency. For large area, the heavy snow made low daycare ratio. Therefore, it is desirable to construct a branch office at a long distance.

Purpose: In 2012, the Child Welfare Act was revised to provide better support to children with severe disabilities in Japan. Previously, inpatient facilities had been classified according to the type of disabilities of patients. After the revision of the Act, however, these facilities were assigned into the category of "medical-type facilities for children with disabilities", or "welfare-type facilities for children with disabilities." The focus of the study is to evaluate the reorganization of the Child Welfare Act and to analyze the new layout of Center K after its transition from a facility for children with motional disabilities to a medical-type facility for children with disabilities. Methods: A literature review was conducted to identify the trend in the treatment for persons with disabilities and the process of policy making in Japan. Field research was performed twice in 2015 and 2016, before and after the renovation of the Center K facilities depending upon the revision of the Child Welfare Act. Results: There is an increasing tendency of the population of persons with disabilities in Japan, and the severity level of disability of children with disabilities. In the case of Center K, two types of ward constructed to meet the two types of disability has been reconstructed into three types of unit following the various severity level of disability. Implications: As a result, it could be argued that it is also necessary in Korea to reorganize the facilities for persons with disabilities to deal with the fact that the population of persons with disabilities in Korea has been growing and their degree of disabilities also getting severe.

This study was uncertaken to find an effective management modality for patients with hypertension. Patients 60years or older were selected for this purpose from a general hospital and a welfare center in Pusan and from a public health clinic in Cheju Island. During the month of October in 1984. the management modality for hypertension. the incurred medical expenses. and knowledge about the hypertension were analyzed and compared. The following results were obtained: 1. The a erage total medical expense per year was highest at the general hospital followed by the public health clinic and the welfare center. 2. It was found that the patients chose the public health clinic for its low medical cost. the welfare center for its proximity as well as for its low medical cost. and the general hospital for its quality medical services Also. the study has shown that the prescription of drugs was the major service provided by the public health clinic whereas the blood pressure measurement. the prescription of drugs. and family planning were the primary service offered by the welfare center. Drug prescription and blood pressure measurement were two of the most important services by the general hospital. 3. It was shown that the knowledge of hypertension was highnest at the welfare center whereas the management of hypertension was highest at the public health clinic. Based on above results and considering the chronic nature. it is believed that family awareness of the illness was one of the most important aspects for effective management of the hypertension for the elderly patients. In addition. the health care clinics at every level should come forward to execition of the educational programs and home nursing schomes for the effective management of the hypertension patients.
