전국적으로 균형있는 의료공급체계를 확립하기 위하여 정부가 건립 추진하여온 민간지역병원은 계획목표 년도가 2년이나 경과한 1984년 4월 현재 설립인가된 51개 병원중 38개 병원(74%)이 개원하였다. 이중 4개 병원은 심각한 재정난과 부실운영으로 이미 문을 닫은 실정이고 나머지 대부분의 병원들도 운영난에 봉착하였는바 이러한 민간지역 병원의 특성과 운영성과에 관련된 요인을 분석하기 위하여 각 병원별 실태조사표와 설문조사서 및 방문면담으로 개원중인 병원전체를 대상으로 자료를 수집,조사하였다. 각 병원의 운영성과에 미치는 요인중 가장 큰 것은 지역적 여건과 병원의 입지조건이었다. 병원운영이 다소 호전되는 병원일수록 의료수가나 진료미수금과 같은 병원외부요인에 관심을 갖는데 반해 악화되는 병원일수록 병원의 위치나 타병원과의 경쟁등 병원내부요인에서 더욱 많은 문제점을 느끼고 있었다. 또한 자력에 의한 운영자금 및 양질의 타인자본 조달능력이 중요한 것으로 지적되었다. 이러한 요인은 정부의 민간지역병원 건립계획에 대한 불충분한 검토와 병원들의 판단력부족 및 자금동원능력 부족과 관리운영미숙에도 문제가 있었다. 막대하게 소요된 시설자금 및 운영자금으로 인한 높은 부채비율로 인해 이를 감당할 만한 이자부담 능력도 없으며, 기존병원에 비하여 환자절대수마저 부족으로 정상운영을 기대할 수 없었다. 이와 같은 결과는 앞으로 병원신설을 할 때 기획단계부터 면밀한 검토가 필수적이라는 것을 시사해 준다.

Objectives : This study developed and validated the local clinic Medical Doctor Role Stress Scale(MDRS). Methods : The interviews were conducted with 12 local clinic medical doctors to develop final preliminary questions. The scale was developed using statistical item analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis surveys with local clinic medical doctors in Seoul, Busan, Daejeon, and Gyeonggi province. Results : The MDRS developed in this study consisted of 14 items and three factors. The factors were role conflict, role ambiguity and role overload. The three factors explained 56.71% of the total variance, and the internal consistency of this scale was .90. The internal consistency for each factor was .81 ~ .90. Confirmatory factor analysis through a separate sampling met the fit criteria (CFI = .941, TLI = .927, RMSEA = .079, SRMR = .069). Conclusions : The results indicate that this scale is a reliable instrument for assessing local clinic medical doctor role stress.

The purpose of this study was to obtain the basic information for the improvement of dental environment by investigating the presence of methicillin- or vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA or VRSA) isolated from dental health care workers (DHCWs) and environment of the Chosun University Dental Hospital (CUDH) and a private dental clinic (control group). Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) was isolated from anterior nares of 42 DHCWS and 38 sites, unit chairss, x-ray devices, computers, etc., at 10 departments of the CUDH and 20 DHCWs and 11 sites at the private dental clinic. S. aureus was isolated on mannitol salt agar plate and confirmed by PCR with S. aureus species-specific primer. Antimicrobial susceptibility test of clinical isolates of S. aureus against several antibiotics including methicillin (oxacillin) was performed by investigating minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) using broth microdilution assay. In addition, PCR was performed to detect the methicillin- or vancomycin-resistant gene. The data showed that one strain of S. aureus was isolated from DHCWs of the CUDH and three strains of S. aureus was isolated from 3 samples of the private dental clinic, respectively. All of the isolates from the CUDH and the private dental clinic had resistance to penicillin G, amoxicillin and vancomycin and susceptibility to oxacillin and ciprofloxacin. The S. aureus strains were already obtained the resistance to penicillin G and amoxicillin. These results suggest that two dental clinics were under relatively safe environment.

Background : Intensive care units (ICUs) are generally considered epicenters of antibiotic resistance and the principal sources of multi-resistant bacteria outbreaks. The antibiotic resistance in newly opened intensive care unit that has no microbial colonization on and around the devices was investigated. Materials and Methods : The authors analyzed the antibiotic resistance patterns for common hospital acquired-pneumonia pathogens in the ICUs(Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp.) at the newly opened ICU of Hanyang University Medical Center, Kuri Hospital during 6 years(1995-2000). Results : 1) Regarding Staphylococcus aureus, the resistance rate to methicillin was 15% at 1995, 21% at 1996, 20% at 1997, 23% at 1998, 22% at 1999, 55% at 2000. 2) Regarding Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the resistance rate to $3^{rd}$ cephalosporin was 50% at 1995, 50% at 1996, 78% at 1997, 40% at 1998, 77% at 1999, 39% at 2000. Imipenam was 0% at 1995, 27% at 1996, 65% at 1997, 12% at 1998, 16% at 1999, 12% at 2000. Ciprofloxacin was 0% at 1996, 56% at 1997, 36% at 1998, 57% at 1999, 58% at 2000. Tobramycin was 7% at 1995, 10% at 1996, 67% at 1997, 36% at 1998, 65% at 1999, 12% at 2000. Gentamycin was 14% at 1995, 36% at 1996, 67% at 1997, 36% at 1998, 65% at 1999, 12% at 2000. Amikacin was 14% at 1995, 30% at 1996, 61% at 1997, 16% at 1998, 39% at 1999, 18% at 2000. 3) Regarding Acinetobacter spp., the resistance rate to $3^{rd}$ cephalosporin was 92% at 1996, 89% at 1997, 88% at 1998,84% at 1999, 77% at 2000. Imipenem was 50% at 1996, 48% at 1997, 45% at 1998, 49% at 1999, 50% at 2000. Ciprofloxacin was 0% at 1996, 48% at 1997, 33% at 1998, 27% at 1999, 71% at 2000.

In order to clarify the possibility of occurrence of apple replant disease and the severity of it in Kyungbuk area, 23 apple orchard soils older than 20 years were collected and growth response of apple seedlings in the soil was tested by soil fumigation. Some factors concerned with apple replant disease in some cases were also checked. The results were as follows. 1. Plant height of apple seedlings was significantly increased in 6 apple orchards and up to 38% in a most conspicuous case by soil fumigation. 2. Fresh weight of aboveground part(except leaves), underground part and whole plant(except leaves) of apple seedlings was significantly increased in 10,4 and 9 apple orchards, respectively by soil fumigation. The response of soil fumigation was pronounced in fresh weight of aboveground part of apple seedlings, more than 50% increase in 5 apple orchards. 3. The effects of available copper and arsenic content in soil and soil nematodes population on the plant height and fresh weight of apple seedlings were not recognized as important factors causing apple replant disease. 4. Effect of soil PH on the occurrence of apple replant disease was not recognized.

Background : Asthma is one of the most prevalent diseases in Korea. Although the guidelines of asthma management were reported in Korea, the present pattern of asthma management by primary physicians has not been studied. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the pattern of asthma management by primary physicians. Methods : In November 2002, 710 primary physicians specializing in internal medicine in Seoul, Korea were provided with two scenarios of asthmatic patients, one mild and the other severe. By mail or interview, the physicians were asked several questions about their present pattern of asthma management for the patients in each scenario. Results : Among 710 primary physicians, we obtained the answers from 325 physicians (response rate 46%). The most preferred prescription was oral theophylline. 71% and 81% of the physicians answered that they would prescribe oral theophylline for the mild and severe asthmatics, respectively. The next prescription preferred were mucolytics and oral ${\beta}_2$-agonist, in that order. However, 36% and 56% of the physicians answered that they would prescribe inhaled steroids for the mild and severe asthmatics, respectively. Among diagnostic tests, physicians preferred pulmonary function test to the rank next to chest radiography. Conclusion : The primary physicians in Seoul prefer oral bronchodilators to inhaled steroids in asthma management. More efforts should be made to reduce the difference between the present pattern of asthma management by primary physicians and the asthma guidelines.

외상의 처치는 일반적으로 응급처치기(emergency 혹은 initial phase), 중간처치기 (intermidiate 혹은 planning phase) 그리고 항구치료기 (definitive phase)로 구분되며 응급처치의 범주내에서는 우선 환자의 생명유지를 고려하고 다음엔 창의 생활력(vitality)을 유지하여 장차의 조직결손과 기능적 결합을 예방하는 데 목적이 있다. 그러므로 구강 및 악안면의 광범한 외상은 기도확보, 대량실혈의 방지, shock의 예방 (수액보충 등) 및 감염대책 등의 순으로 응급대처하게 된다. 그러나 일반 개원임상의들이 자주 접하는 비교적 작은 외상에서는 위의 대원칙에 더하여 창상의 효과적인 1차적 처치에 더욱 관심을 갖어 조직의 괴사나 결손 및 변형으로 인한 기능적 심미적 장애를 최솔 하는 것이 중요하다.
