Objectives: The study aimed to compare the indicators of infrastructure of the whole country with those of Busan through National Medical Care Psychiatric (hospital level) Quality Assesment and to provide the basic evidence for presenting vision and strategies of mental health policy. Methods: National Medical Care Psychiatric (hospital level) Quality Assesment Data was used from 2011 to 2015. A total of 8 indicators were analyzed including facility and workforce. Results: The median value of the capacity per ward was decreasing with years both whole country and Busan. The number of beds out of total inpatient occupancy was improved over the years. There was no clear change in the number of inpatients per toilet in the hospitalized ward, but the indicator was decreasing obviously. Therefore, the median value of whole country and Busan was same with 10.2 in 2015. Conclusions: We confirmed that indicators for infrastructure were improving in a generally positive change over the years. The infrastructure is related to the patient-centered treatment environment, and the workforce is related to the quality of care. Therefore, the structural area should be continuously evaluated and improved.

Although stress has been implicated to be a risk factor that can threaten physical and mental health, there have been no sufficient studies that analyze the different levels of stress among employees working in the different levels of the hospitals. We aim to identify the general characteristics of hospitals at different levels, to compare the stress levels among customer service representatives working in the tertiary care hospitals as well as acute general hospitals. In addition, we also wanted to analyze the relationship between the types of hospitals and the stress level. The work stress was measured using the Korean Occupational Stress scale. Study subjects' demographic characteristics and lifestyle factors were analyzed using analysis of frequency and multiple regression analysis. Our study revealed that the levels of medical facility were significantly associated with the levels of job stress(P=0.043), and the stress levels of employees working in the acute general hospital's medical facilities were higher than those who were working in tertiary care facilities. We also found that those with higher depression level tended to have higher job stress (P<0.001). Therefore, it is urgent to implement some kind of job stress interventions, especially in the acute general hospital's medical facilities. Moreover, further studies including social and policy research are necessary in order to analyze the overall impact of stress on physical and mental health and to reduce health inequalities among healthcare workers.

Before introducing the national long-term care insurance in 2008, the want for long term care service has to be estimated and analysed. This study estimates the demand and analyses what determines the want of long term care service. This study investigated data of 3f6 elderlies, that was collected by age stratified random sampling. The elderies resided in Onyang 4 - dong (urban area) and Dogo-myun (rural area) In the city of Asan. The researchers visited the elderlies and their care giver, and assessed their demand for the long term care service and examined physical, mental, socio-economic status by the assessment tools for Korean Long-Term Care System. $64\%$ of the those who are entitled to be served refuse the long term care service. $26.7\%$ of them wants for home care service and $7.9\%$ want facility care service. It is estimated that the want of home care service are three or four times as much as that of facility care service. The demand for long term care service is 5.155 times higher for those who live in rural area (p=0.000), 3.040 times higher for those who do not have spouse(p=0.057), and 3.356 times higher for the people who is in medicaid than medical insurance(p=0.029). However, income(p=0.782), means(p=0.614), living alone(p=0.223), number of family to live with (p=0.341) and age of the elderly(p=0.420) are not related with the demand of long term care service. The assessment tools for Korean Long-Term Care System for need evaluation of the long term care service can reflect the demand well.(p=0.024) If medical care will cover $80\%$ of total cost, the willingness to pay of the out of pocket money of the people with medical insurance is 67,400 Korean Won(66.77 US$) for the home care service and 182,500 Korean Won(180.78 US$) for the facility care service. There is possibility that long term care demand is still small after Introducing the long term care Insurance due to the care given by family members. When developing service delivery system of long term care insurance, rural area has to be given more consideration than urban area because of the higher demand. The people who do not have spouse or are in medicaid have to be given special consideration as well.

2008년 9월 경상북도 영천시 소재 Y 지적장애인 특수학교에서 설사 유행이 신고되었고, 일부 환자의 검체에서 Shigella sonnei가 검출되었다. 이에 Y 학교와 초발 환자 신00이 기거하고 있던 경산시 소재 D 재활원에서 발생한 세균성이질에 관한 역학조사를 실시하였다. Y 학교와 D 재활원은 지적장애인을 위한 학교 및 생활시설로서 모두 직영급식을 하고 있다. 지적장애가 있는 학생과 원생들을 상대로 설문조사는 시행하지 않았고 교사와 직원들을 상대로 면담을 실시하였다. Y 학교와 D 재활원에서 직장 도말 검사를 각각 298건, 361건 실시하고 환경 검체 검사를 각각 60건, 20건을 실시하였다. 학교와 재활원의 환경조사를 실시하였고 음용수와 조리용수, 생활용수의 공급원을 파악하였다. 환자는 격리 치료하고 추가 환자 발생을 일일 능동 모니터링하였다. 환례는 2008년 9월 18일부터 9월 26일까지 Y 학교와 D 재활원의 구성원 중에서 설사(하루 2회 이상의 묽은 변)가 있는 경우 혹은 직장도말 배양검사 결과 Shigella sonnei 양성인 경우로 정의하였다. 환례 정의에 따라 조사 대상 659명 중 환례는 8명으로 1.2%의 발생률을 보였고 이들은 모두 Y 학교 학생이었다. 직장도말 배양검사 결과 Shigella sonnei가 5명의 학생에서 검출되었고, 이들 중 3명에서는 설사 증상이 있었으며 나머지 2명은 무증상이었다. 환례 8명 모두 단체숙식을 하고 있었는데 이들 중 2명은 Y 학교 기숙사 기린방에서 생활하였고, 4명은 D 재활원 온유방, 나머지 2명은 D 재활원의 까치방과 자비방에서 각각 생활하였다. Y 학교와 D 재활원의 환경조사 결과 특이사항이 없었으며, 공통적으로 음용수와 조리 용수는 상수도에서 공급받고 화장실의 생활용수는 하수도에서 공급받고 있었다. D 재활원의 지하수 1건에서 대장균군이 양성이면서 일반세균이 20,000 CFU/mL으로 나왔다. Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis 검사에서 5건 모두 동일한 DNA 절편 양식을 보였다. D 재활원과 Y 학교에서 발생한 세균성이질은 동일한 균주에 의한 유행으로 판단한다. D 재활원의 온유방에서 현성 또는 불현성 감염자인 교사나 자원봉사자와의 직 간접 접촉을 통해 최초로 1명 이상의 원생에게 전파시켰을 가능성이 있다. 그 후 환례들과 직 간접 접촉에 의하여 D 재활원의 온유방 내, 다른 방과 Y 학교 학생에게 전파되었을 가능성이 있다고 추정한다. 단체 시설의 교사와 자원봉사자에 대하여 손씻기의 중요성이 더 강조되어야 하고 전염이 가능한 증상이나 질병이 있을 때에는 접촉이나 봉사 활동을 자제해야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this research is to plan the activation of university health business through the appraisal of the function and role of university health centers. To be more specific: Firstly, analyze the facility, personnel, health service of the health centers, Secondly, appraise the role and function of the health centers, and Thirdly, consider the activation plans of health centers. The research method taken was the study of surveys conducted and written research materials on 5 women's universities in Seoul. These materials where descriptively analyzed by converting the surveys, facility and usage of health center and current personnel status in to percentage. The major results of the research are as follows: Unlike as stated in each university's additional clause on the number of personnel were working. This lack of specialized personnel resulted into lack of specialized and various services. Medicine for external application were stocked well whereas only simple medicine for internal application were on shelf and were issued only with a doctor's prescription. Universities with a full-time doctor had various available equipments. One university conducting dental treatment was equipped with indirect chest camera, dental X-ray, unit, chair(dental treatment chair) and even supersonic, electrocardiogram were available. In the case of D women's university, the number of beds compared to the number of students was lower than that of the other 3 universities, to the total size of the university was smaller than that of the other 3 universities. Among health prevention and care matters, health consultation was the only matter practised by all universities. Uniquely, there was one university that hosted epidemic prevention business. There are various tests given by each university, with each showing many differences, but some universities did not even conduct these tests. Vaccinations were usually being conducted through commission. All universities provided basic treatment, therefore matters concerning treatment at health centers were being conducted well. Concerning the management of equipment and documents, all the matters were being conducted except one university where instead of a student medical record, they were using a daily record. Because these were women's universities, most of the educations were on women's health. The subjects of these educations included: sex, contraception, prevention and control of tuberculosis, obesity, mouth hygiene, alcohol, geriatric disease, mental health and first-aid. The rate of health center usage is growing. Being women's universities, the service and treatment practised were mostly concerning sex education.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the content analysis of daily tooth cleaning service records by caregivers in a long-term care facility. Methods: The data were analyzed by qualitative research based on content analysis of the daily records of the processes and results of daily tooth cleaning service. Twenty caregivers provided tooth, gum and denture cleaning service after breakfast, lunch, and dinner to 48 elderly residents. The study lasted about two weeks(from August 4 to August 20, 2014). The researcher reconstructed the language by repeatedly reviewing the caregivers statements in the records. The content categories were derived from the records through a reiterative manual comparative analysis. Using constant comparison method, reconstructed meanings were incorporated into various meanings and reanalyzed by final categories called as analytic coding. In order to validate the reliability, 6 times of discussion made the common meanings through a master's degree student and a dental hygiene professor. Results: The caregivers identified lack of understanding and ability to recognize the functional physical and mental changes in the elderly. The elderly had difficulty in recognizing silent communication and daily tooth cleaning. The caregivers were so strenuous in taking care of the daily tooth cleaning service for the elderly. At last, they gave up the daily tooth cleaning service and took on it to the guardians. They found that there was no social supporting network for oral health of the elderly residents. Conclusions: Caregivers had insufficient understanding of the functional physical and mental changes in the elderly residents, and they had difficulty providing daily tooth cleaning service to the elderly due to poor skill and abilities.
