Purpose: The current study was done to describe how nurses are portrayed in hospital administration journals as compared with physicians. Methods: A content analysis of the pictures was conducted using the framework of Goffman. The data were collected from all issues of four hospital administration journals published in 2005, 2006, and 2007 (n=465). Results: Overall, the analysis indicates that nurses were portrayed from the perspective of femininity and mothering. In group scenes, nurses were pictured as peripheral, compared with physicians. Sometimes the photos did not focus on nurses at all. Nurses were also placed standing in the periphery not like physicians at the center of the scene. In terms of professional portrayal, the photos in general present positive image of nurses similar to that of physicians. However, the number of photos including nurses was relatively small. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that nurses appear less frequently in mass media and when they do it is at the periphery of the scene. It is, then, necessary to make greater effort to call upon mass media to cover more nurses showing a positive images of the profession. All stake holders such as individual nurses, hospitals and related associations should make a combined effort toward that end.

의사와 간호사의 복장에 대한 견해를 파악하기 위하여 1996년 3월1일부터 1996년 3월31일까지 영남대학교 의료원에 근무하는 의사 130명, 간호사 147명과 입원환자 211명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 의상의 복장에서는 의사와 간호사 모두 기존 코트 형태의 가운보다 다른 형태의 가운을 선호하였고, 특히, 의사보다 간호사들이 더 선호하였다. 환자에서 전체적으로 기존 형태와 다른 형태의 가운에 대한 선호도의 차이는 없었으나, 학력이 높을수록 다른 형태의 가운을 더 선호하였다(p<0.01). 의사의 가운 색상에 있어 의사와 간호사의 73.6%는 흰색을 선호하였으며, 환자는 86.3%가 흰색을 선호하였다. 남자의사가 여자의사와 간호사에 비해 흰색을 더 선호하였고(p<0.01), 환자에서는 색상 선호도에 대한 유의한 차이는 없었다. 진료시 넥타이를 착용해야 한다라는 응답률이 남자의사, 40세 이상 의사, 내과계 근무 의사, 그리고 교수에서 다른 군보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.01). 환자에서는 여자가 남자보다, 60세 이상군이 다른 연령군보다, 초등졸 이하군이 다른 학력군보다, 기타 시지역 거주자와 군지역 거주자가 대구시 거주자보다 더 높았다(p<0.01). 주말 및 휴일 진료시 의사의 캐주얼 복장에 대해서는 전체적으로 찬성하는 편이었고, 의사의 연령이 젊을수록 유의하게 선호도가 높았다(p<0.05). 간호사 복장에 대해서는 의사와 간호사 전체의 78%가 바지 착용을 선호하였고, 간호사는 96%가 바지 착용을 선호하였으며, 특히, 40세 이상군과 외래, 지원 및 행정부서에 근무하는 간호사들은 100% 선호하였다. 환자들은 학력이 낮을수록 스커트를 선호하였고, 고학력군일수록 바지 착용을 선호하였다. 간호사의 가운 색상에 대해서는 의사와 간호사 전체의 46.7%가 흰색을 선호하였고, 의사들은 흰색을, 간호사들은 다른 색을 더 선호하였다(p<0.01). 환자들은 79.1%가 흰색을 선호하였다. 캡 착용에 대한 문항에서 간호사들은 95.9%가 착용하지 않아도 좋다고 응답하였으며, 특히, 40세 이상군과 외래 및 특수부서에 근무하는 간호사들은 전원 캡을 착용하지 않아도 좋다라고 응답하였다. 반면에 환자들은 77.7%가 캡을 착용하여야 한다라고 응답하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 의사와 간호사의 복장은 기존의 전통적인 형태와 색상만을 고집할 것이 아니라, 의사와 간호사 본인들과 환자들의 의견을 만족시킬 뿐만 아니라 시대적 흐름과 현실감각에 맞게 가운의 형태와 색상에 변화를 주는 것을 고려하는 것이 좋을 것이라고 사료되었다.

This paper attempts to explain why the prescribing-dispensing services are not seperated in Korea. The main reason why physicians and pharmacists do not compromise, even though the two parties support the seperation policy in public, is contended to be that both parties would lose their interests if the policy were implemented. Physicians' loss from giving up their vested rights to dispensing would be larger than their gain from an increase in the number of prescriptions. Pharmacists' loww from being forced not to to sell medicines without prescriptions would also be larger than their gain from prohibiting physicians from dispensing. The net ganier form the seperation policy would be the patients. Therefore, the seperation policy would not be implemented unless political pressure from general public surpasses that from physicians and pharmacists.

In order to investigate if nutrition-related TV programs give the public correct and useful imformation, 26 producers(PD) having worked for any one of the nutirtion-related TV programs were surveyed by using questionnaire on the attitudes toward seeking an expert's advice about the issues and the panelist's constitution of one typical nutrition-related TV show program broadcasted during the last 5 years was analyzed. The most important reason for selecting the nutrition-related issues was to satisfy the interests and demands of audiences. Both being motivated by food-related accidents and to educate people for the health promotion were the second ones. In the process of nutrition-related program production, 53.9% of PDs always requested expert's advice, while 46.1% occasionally did. Professors in food and nutrition were regarded as the most proper advisor. Dietitians, physicians and physicians of Chinese medicine wer the next in order. The similar pattern were shown in the rankd of specialists actually invited as panelists to the program. Both the speciality and being well-known were less positive and favorable for participating in the program compared to experts in other areas. The number of programs about food and nutrition broadcasted on the TV show during 1993-1997(July) was 361(about 30%). The total of 1,043 specialists appeared, 2.9 persons per program on the average. Of these, only 12.9% were professors in food and nutrition as well as dietitians. The largest(20.2%) was physicians or medical professors, and 13.6% cooks and 12.6% physicians of Chinese medicine. Of 361 programs 45 were thought to be undesirable on the panelist constitution. Particualrly in 19 programs, where nutritionists were not invited, physicians or physicians of Chinese medicine explained diet therapy, food, nutrient or dietary habit.

Background: C-arm fluoroscopy equipment is important for interventional pain management and can cause radiation injury to physicians and patients. We compared radiation safety education and efforts to reduce the radiation exposure of pain specialists. Methods: A survey of 49 pain specialists was conducted anonymously in 2016. The questionnaire had 16 questions. That questionnaire was about radiation safety knowledge and efforts to reduce exposure. We investigated the correlation between radiation safety education and efforts of radiation protection. We compared the results from 2016 and a published survey from 2011. Results: According to the 2016 survey, all respondents used C-arm fluoroscopy in pain interventions. Nineteen respondents (39%) had received radiation safety education. Physicians had insufficient knowledge about radiation safety. When the radiation safety education group and the non-education group are compared, there was no significant difference in efforts to reduce radiation exposure and radiation safety knowledge. When the 2011 and 2016 surveys were compared, the use of low dose mode (P = 0.000) and pulsed mode had increased significantly (P = 0.001). The number checking for damage to radiation protective garments (P = 0.000) and use of the dosimeter had also increased significantly (P = 0.009). But there was no significant difference in other efforts to reduce radiation exposure. Conclusions: Pain physicians seem to lack knowledge of radiation safety and the number of physicians receiving radiation safety education is low. According to this study, education does not lead to practice. Therefore, pain physicians should receive regular radiation safety education and the education should be mandatory.
