이 연구의 목적은 한국형 일차의료 평가 도구(KPCAT)를 이용하여 한 농촌 지역 보건소의 일차의료의 질을 평가하는 것이다. 또 이 연구에서는 KPCAT 적용 및 결과 해석과 관계된 몇 가지 방법론적 이슈를 검토하였다. 농촌 보건소 진료 의사에게 4회 이상 진료받은 환자 79명이 KPCAT 설문에 응답하였다. 응답자의 특성을 빈도와 백분율, 중앙값과 사분위 범위, 평균과 표준 편차로 제시하였다. 일차의료의 질은 KPCAT 총점과 영역별 점수의 중앙값과 사분위 범위로 제시하였고 최댓값과 최솟값, 기대 점수와 함께 방사형 도표로 제시하였다. KPCAT 문항별 점수와 중앙값과 사분위 범위, 기대 점수 이상 응답자 비율, 잘 모름 응답자 비율을 제시하였다. 연구 대상 농촌 지역 보건소 일차의료 질의 중앙값과 사분위 범위는 각각 45점, 16점이었다. KPCAT 영역별 점수 중앙값이 기대 점수에 이른 영역은 최초 접촉 하나였다. KPCAT 문항별 점수가 기대 점수 이상인 응답자 비율이 50% 미만인 문항은 포괄성 4문항 중 2개, 조정 기능 3문항 전부, 전인적 의료 5문항 중 2개, 가족 및 지역 사회 지향성 4문항 전부였다. 잘 모름 응답의 처리 방침 개선, 잘 모름 응답률이 높은 문항의 타당성 검토, 응답 척도의 내용과 점수의 일치 등이 방법론적 개선 과제였다. 농촌 지역 보건소 일차의료의 질은 개선할 여지가 많았다. 특히 조정 기능과 가족 및 지역 사회 지향성 영역의 개선 필요성이 두드러졌다. KPCAT의 방법론적 개선을 통하여 타당하고 신뢰성 있는 일차의료 평가가 이루어지기를 기대한다.

Purpose: Hypertension has been a major cause of death in Korea since the 1970s, and has resulted in being a significant economic burden to the finances of national health care. The Ministry of Health and Welfare made several efforts. but hypertension control programs in Korea are still non standardized and ineffective. We wanted to investigate the current hypertension control program in public health centers systematically and suggest the direction for future programs. Method: The design of this study is a cross sectional investigation. From September to October in 2002, we sent a set of questionnaires to all PHCs, and 179 centers responded (response rate = 74.0%). The instrument was developed based on components of National health systems. Results: 1) Resources: The department responsible for hypertension control programs is the Department of Health Promotion. Health Education Center, Community Health Center, Citizen's Health Center, etc. The chief personnel of those departments are nurses. but 27.4% of PHCs have no full time nurse for hypertension management programs. PHCs had a lot of teaching materials (nine types per a PHC) and most of the recommended contents were included. But, periodical evaluation and revision were not being made, 2) Management: Nurses' (13.03 9.46 in 23 score) actions for hypertension control were not qualitative, but regular training and evaluation were seldom carried out. Need assessment (25.9%) and evaluation (about 10-20%) for the hypertension control program were indicated as low. 3) Programs: Programs focused on individuals rather than community or public, and 2nd prevention rather than 1st, 3rd prevention. Conclusion: The Ministry of Health and Welfare has to construct the infrastructure for hypertension control programs. Related scholars and committees should develop and declare standardized manuals for hypertension control and the management system, as well.

The New Public Health(NPH) is a comprehensive approach to protecting and promoting the health status of each individual member and society as a whole. NHP is not so much a philosophy to broaden the understanding of public health as it is an action plan to address current public health system. This paper's objectives include increasing public and professional awareness of the significant changes in the national public health systems of developed countries and contributing to more effective delivery of public health services in Korea. This paper reviews articles and documents concerning NPH and the public health system, and outlines of the achievements in developed countries since NPH movement began. These include the change in the definition and function of public health, expansion of public health networks, strengthening of public health policy, reorientation of public health delivery systems, promotion of workforce capacity, and the implementation of evidence-based management. To overcome the challenges facing the public health system of Korea, we must prioritize the value of population-based approach, expand the notion of a public health system to encompass all sectors that can influence health, promote a "Health in All Policies" approach, focus on an evidence-based health policy and program, develop core competencies for public health workers, and establish performance standards for public health organizations based on the core functions of public health.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of and problems with the Safe Community Programs in Gangbuk-gu, one of the 25 districts of the capital city of Korea. Methods: The study subjects were 396 individuals who were involved in Safe Community Programs between 2009 and 2011. We examined the effectiveness and willingness of respondents to participate as a safety leader of the Safe Community Program with a questionnaire. We examined the injury death rates of Gangbuk-gu by using of the death certificate data of Korea's National Statistical Office. Descriptive statistics and chi-squared tests were used. Results: The effectiveness of programs did not differ but active participation differed significantly among subjects (p<0.05). The injury death rate of Gangbuk-gu as a whole increased during the implementation period. However, senior safety, in particular, may be a helpful program for reducing injuries in Gangbuk-gu. Conclusions: This study suggests that the lack of active participation may be a major problem of Safe Community Programs in Gangbuk-gu. Therefore, Safe Community Programs should be expanded to the entire district of Gangbuk-gu and more active participation programs should be developed.

Purpose: To support implementation of comprehensive, person-centered healthcare, this study aimed to explore immigrant women's public health center (PHC) service experiences and needs while considering Photovoice's feasibility for this purpose. Methods: This qualitative study included 15 marriage-based immigrant women. Participants were recruited from churches and multicultural family support centers using purposive and snowball sampling. Data were collected through four focus group interviews and were subjected to inductive content analysis. Results: Five categories of experiences were identified: language barriers, hectic environment, affordable and practical primary healthcare, feeling ignored and discriminated against, and feeling frustrated. In addition, five categories of needs were identified: language assistance services, ease of access, healthcare across the lifespan, expansion of affordable healthcare, and being accepted as they are. This study provides preliminary evidence that the Photovoice approach can facilitate the interview process in a qualitative inquiry involving participants with limited ability to express their perspectives in the researchers' language. Conclusion: Study findings highlight the need to implement institutional policy and procedural changes within PHCs and to provide culturally competent, personcentered care for South Korea's marriage-based immigrant women and other ethnic minority populations. The findings also provide evidence-based direction for PHC service planning.
