  • 본 연구는 일부지역 치과종사자 269명을 대상으로 환자유형에 따른 감정노동과 직무만족도에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 다음과 같은 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 얻었다(p<.05).환자유형별 감정노동은 환자의 성별에서 남성환자가 여성환자보다 높았으며, 환자의 연령은 20-64세가 가장 높았다. 진료시간대는 오후 7시 이후가 가장 높게 나타났고. 환자유형별 직무만족도는 환자연령은 65세이상이 가장 높았다. 이상과 같은 결과를 바탕으로 치과종사자들의 직무만족도를 높이고 감정노동을 줄이기 위해서는 개인과 조직적인 측면에서 쾌적한 근무환경을 형성하기 위한 노력이 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다.

  • In order for handicapped people to maintain better humane life, it is necessary to get statistics of them in developing appropriate national policy. However, it is very difficult to obtain baseline statistics on regular or occasional basis. It's reason is mainly attributed to attitudes of their family's tendency to conceal any existence of such memeber in the household. As a result, the statis-tics on the handicapped population is very inaccurate and under satisfaction. We must produce such statistics periodically in time and with accuracy. Thus, this study porposes five methods which, we believe, can produce reliable statistics of thehandcapped population : 1) vitalization through enforcement of handicapped information into the registration system, 2) inclusion in population census of items related to handicapped information, 3) improvement of the physically handicapped population survey scheme, 4) utilization of hospital patients' records for development of the statistics, and 5) an estimation through the labor force survey.

  • Purpose It has been stated that patient satisfaction is the crucial factor for determining success in plastic surgery. The convergence of medical science and computer vision has made easier to satisfy patients who wants to have plastic surgery. In this paper, we try to apply 3D face modeling in plastic surgical area. Materials and Methods The author introduces a method for accurate 3D face modeling techniques using a statistical model-based 3D face modeling approach in a mirror system. Results We could successfully obtain highly accurate 3D face shape results. Conclusion The method suggested could be used for acquiring 3D face models from 2D face image and the result obtained from this could be effectively used for plastic surgical areas.

  • The research is to examine medical service quality factors affecting choice of hospital(revisiting intention, and recommendation) in large general hospitals based on the SERVQUAL model. The study have surveyed 400 respondents in Gangbuk-gu not having any tertiary hospital. The main results of the analyses indicate: 1) 'assurance' and 'empathy' of medical service are basically, positively affect revisiting intention and recommendation; 2) 'empathy' is the most important factor affecting revisiting intention; and 3) 'tangibility' significantly affects recommendation of general hospitals to other people. The study suggests that it is necessary to pay more attention on 'empathy' among SERVQUAL factors to increase satisfaction of patients and to find better ways of improving medical service quality.

  • Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) trauma cases are commonly treated under general anesthesia. The purpose of this case report is to introduce an alternative method of anesthesia in patients who refuse general anesthesia. A combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine for sedation anesthesia in 3 frequent fracture types in the field of OMFS-Le Fort I fracture, mandibular fracture, and alveolar bone fracture-was used. Dexmedetomidine as the single agent has not shown stable success rates for invasive procedures. To overcome some of the pitfalls with dexmedetomidine, combination sedation using ketamine was performed. Visual analogue scale scores were recorded postoperatively. Dexmedetomidine combined with ketamine administration provided safe and effective sedation and anxiolysis for surgical reduction and internal fixation of OMFS fractures. It showed advantages of decreased admission time, reduced expenses, minimal pain, and reduced anesthetic burden for the patient thus ultimately increasing overall satisfaction.

  • Chronic extensor hallucis longus tendon ruptures are very rare, and may lead to hallux dysfunction. To the best of our knowledge, reconstruction of a chronic extensor hallucis longus rupture using interposed scar tissue has not been previously reported. Our results show that direct repair method using interposed scar tissue for chronic extensor hallucis longus rupture can successfully restore function of the hallux and provide good satisfaction in carefully selected patients.

  • Digital imaging is emerging as a standard method for patient documentation in clinical setting. Managing patient expectations before aesthetic surgery can greatly improve patient satisfaction after surgery. The patient who visited for plastic surgery wants a predicted figure after the operation. A virtual plastic surgery software is necessary in order to satisfy the desire of patients. Adobe $Photoshop^{(R)}$ is the professional standard in desktop digital imaging, offers indispensable new features for graphic and web design, photography, and video. Using imaging technology, it takes just minutes to realistically simulate the results of double eyelid operation, liposuction, rhinoplasty or any other aesthetic procedure. The aim of this study is to analyze the significance of the digital image processing and to introduce the virtual plastic surgery using Adobe $Photoshop^{(R)}$.

  • This study was carried out to measure the degree of work-related stress and to identify factors influencing the excessive stress among clinical physical therapists. One thousand and five physical therapists surveyed nationwide met the established criteria for inclusion in the study. The respondents were an average age of 27.1 years, $34.5\%$ were married, and $61.2\%$ were female. Most of the respondent $(48.1\%)$ worked in local clinics. The average stress score was 50.9. Analysis-of-variance test demonstrated significant difference in the degree of stress among treatment facilities. There was a significant relationship between treatment facilities (general hospital, local hospital, clinic), number of patients treated per day, job satisfaction, low back pain and work-related stress, respectively. Work-related stress was unrelated to matters of sex, marital status, education. Hospital administrators, physical therapydirectors, directors, and individual therapists should work within their organizations to reduce work stress and its detrimental effects. Further research is necessary to investigate preventive measures to decrease the work-related stress.

  • Patients with chronic lateral ankle instability often experience a range of associated injuries. The well-known comorbidities include intra-articular pathologies (osteochondral lesion, soft tissue or bony impingement, and loose body), peroneal tendon pathologies, neural injuries, and other extra-articular pathologies. Surgeons should have a high index of suspicion for these associated pathologies before operative intervention, correlate the clinical findings, and plan the treatment. Despite the restoration of ankle stability following ligament repair or reconstruction surgery, a high prevalence (13%~35%) of postoperative residual pain has been reported. This pain can negatively affect the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. This study examined the causes of persistent pain after surgical treatments for chronic ankle instability.

  • Linear scleroderma en coup de sabre (LScs) is a variant of localized scleroderma. This disease typically occurs in patients in their 20s or younger individuals and predominantly occurs in the forehead area. A 26-year-old man with linear scleroderma was surgically treated at our center with Medpor (porous polyethylene) and dermal fat graft for the forehead lesion. After 26 months of postoperative follow-up, the depressed lesion that appeared scarred as well as the margins improved significantly. The surgical treatment of LScs using Medpor and dermal fat graft is an effective treatment modality that can increase patient satisfaction.
