Purpose: Addressing current status of nursing handoff provides information as to where to change practice for improvement in patient care. The aim of this study was to develop nursing a handoff practice guideline and standardsfor Korean hospitals. Methods: A questionnaire was used to collect data in a cross-sectional survey with 207 head nurses and 697 nurses working in general hospitals. Results: The practice guideline consisted of 2 items on purpose of handoff, 5 items on policy, 3 on environment, 5 on process, 7 on content, 3 on evaluation, and 1 on the function of education, for a total 26 of items. Standard instruction was developed related to Patients, Assessment, Situation, Safety concerns, Background, Actions, and Recommendations. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that the guideline can be applied in real nursing practice to improve the effectiveness of handoff procedures. It can be used to guide nurses to follow the standardized content, which presents patient details clearly. The guideline provides consistency and structure for the information that is handed over.

Purpose: At the moment, There is a facility standard for intensive care units on the Korea medical services Act. However, the contents of regulation are so limited and difficult to apply. Therefore, it is necessary to draw up the guideline to complement the regulation for efficient operation of intensive care units. This study aims to suggest basic data for guideline of intensive care units. Methods: 2 Methods have been used in this paper. 1) Comparative analysis between the national regulation of Korea with the design standard of the United States America, the United Kingdom and Australia. 2) A literature survey about operation method for intensive care unit, focused on materials published in intensive care medicine society of each country. Results: In comparison with guideline of abroad cases, additional supplement are required, with regard to item such as operation environment, size, nursing manpower ratio, bed space area, space program of intensive care units for healing environment. Implications: This study is a basic research for guideline of intensive care unit, and need to be followed by further study using various perspectives and methods.

In the design guideline about the existing elderly house, the equipment related to kitchen and bathroom are the most important in the secure and functional aspect. On the other hand, the present elderly house is being designed according to foreign design guideline or common housing form instead of reflecting living and physical qualities of the korean elderly. Therefore, in this study based on the guideline of the existing literature, we made kitchen and bathroom equipments and conducted an experiment in finding proper position and height for korean elderly enough to use the kitchen and bathroom conveniently and independently. Based on the guideline of the existing literature related to foreign and domestic elderly house, we made Mock-up furnished with the equipments of kitchen and bathroom. The equipments of kitchen consist of sink and shelves to be capable of changing height. The equipments of bathroom consist of different height wash bowls, toilet stools, grab bars, and a bathtub. The study was accomplished by observing and measuring the use of the elderly.

This paper presents a review guideline for evaluating SERPs(standard emergency response procedure) in rail accidents. In order to develope it, design elements of the SERPs, that impact the performance of emergency responding personnel, were identified. Then several review guidelines and standards, being used in other industries including nuclear domain, were surveyed. Finally, the review guides and criteria corresponding to those elements were derived from the survey.

Recently, while global concern over offshore resources exploration and development is being increased rapidly, offshore plant industry is highlighted as an industry of high added value. Along with this global trend, domestic concern over offshore plant development is being increased as well. In the overseas case, a marine geotechnical survey guideline for confirming characteristics of seabed sediments is available at the time of installation of offshore plant but such guideline is not available in our country. In this study, survey techniques fit for domestic marine environment was applied according to overseas guideline at southern coastal area, Korea. Among the marine geophysical survey techniques being proposed abroad, magnetic survey and seabed photograph were excluded. However, highly reliable data analysis was enabled for marine geophysical survey, which includes in-situ coring investigation and laboratory soil test. In addition, continuous ocean current survey was included to find scour potential due to the current around the offshore plant. Although coring depth is not so deep, we predicted geological structure through the analysis of amplitude features of seismic data. Characteristics of seabed sediments cold be obtained regionally and directly through combined analysis of marine geophysical survey data and coring data.

This study aims to suggest the basis and criterion for the data deletion guideline to make the information systems effective and reduce the cost of system management. To make a frame of the guideline, we researched the laws and policies of USA, UK and Australia and the domestic laws and regulations related with the deletion of records. From this paper research, we prepared the draft guideline and gathered the opinion about it. Through this research and survey, we produced out the guideline including the criteria, the process and the way of data deletion. Adopting the guideline to a sample organization, we couldn't find any problem in deleting the unused data.

Objectives: This survey was conducted to research Korean medicine doctors' recognition about diagnosis, treatment and prevention of Sanhupung, and to use it as a basic data for the development of Korean Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline for Sanhupung. Methods: From October 1, 2021 to November 1, 2021, a self-administered questionnaire was conducted on an online survey platform targeting Korean Medicine doctors belonging to The Association of Korean Medicine, and the responses were analyzed. Results: Patients most commonly visited Korean Medical clinic within 22 to 42 days of miscarriage or childbirth, and the average treatment period was 1 to 3 months. To diagnose Sanhupung, Korean Medicine doctors most frequently identified the characteristic symptoms of Sanhupung, and the symptoms complained by Sanhupung patients were common in the order of arthralgia, coldness, feelings like wind coming in and muscle pain. For the treatment of Sanhupung, 94.8% of the respondents used herbal medicine, followed by acupuncture 78.1%, moxibustion 50.1%, cupping 29.5%, and Chuna 12.6%. For the prevention of Sanhupung, 81.8% of the respondents prescribed herbal medicine, and 66.4% of the respondents provided education to prevent Sanhupung. Conclusions: We researched the characteristics of Sanhupung patients visiting Korean medicine clinic and Korean medicine doctors' recognition about diagnosis, treatment and prevention of Sanhupung and reflected them in the CPG for Sanhupung.

The purpose of this study is to suggest architectural planning guideline for the improvement of the evacuation environment in a ward. To suggest of guideline, the problem of irrational domestic criteria is searched according to compare National fire code (NFPA101, Life safety code) with Korea building law. This study includes stairs, corridors and exit door etc. but excludes fire facilities. To verify effectiveness of suggested guideline, egress simulation is run that based on databases according to literature survey. The results of this study could be summarized as follow: Suggested guidelines are subdivision(fire partition), evacuation by elevator, secure useful waiting space of elevator hall and smokeproof enclosures, the corridor is divided by fire or smoke barriers corridor from hazardous room, only wheeled items are arranged in corridors of a ward story. The result of computer simulation for suggested guidelines verify that egress time can be decreased 20% or above.
