Objectives: This study investigated the psychological characteristics of patients with functional dyspepsia. Methods: The subjects included ninety patients with functional dyspepsia and sixty four psychiatric out-patients. We administered Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory(MMPI) and Illness Behavior Questionnaire(IBQ). Results: There were no significant differences between the patients with functional dyspepsia and the psychiatric out-patients by MMPI. Two groups both showed a higher distribution in hypochondriasis, depression, hysteria subscales than in any other subscales. The patients with functional dyspepsia showed lower scores in disease conviction and affective disturbance subscales in IBQ than the psychiatric out-patients. The distribution of scores of the other IBQ subscales were similar between the patients with functional dyspepsia and the psychiatric out-patients. The patients with functional dyspepsia were divided into three groups for the Multivariate cluster analysis: normal, similar to psychiatric out-patient, and severe neurotic. The severe neurotic group showed higher scores in hypochondriasis, depression, hysteria, psychathenia, and schizophrenia subscales in MMPI and showed significant different scores in affective disturbance, disease conviction, psychological and somatic concerns, affective disturbance, denial, and irritability subscales in IBQ. Conclusion: If patients with functional dyspepsia show severe neurotic behavior, such as those in, they would need appropriate psychiatric intervention.

본 연구에서는 RFID를 이용한 환자를 인식하는 시스템에 대해 제안한다. RFID를 이용한 환자인식 시스템은 이미 구축된 전자차트 시스템을 어느 진료 장소에서도 정확히 환자를 스스로 인식하여 기존의 전자차트와 연결함으로써 외래 진료시에도 전자차트 시스템을 이용할 수 있도록 하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 또한 환자와 해당 환자의 전자차트의 정보를 정확히 연결하여 잘못된 처방을 미연에 방지하고 의사 및 의료 종사자가 기존의 차트 시스템을 진료 후 다시 전자차트에 입력해야 하는 불필요성을 줄이는 것을 목표로 한다.

Numbers of patients who have chronic pain seem to be increasing even in the psychiatric practice. One report in Korea showed more than 40% of psychiatric patients who visited out-patient clinic were suffered from chronic pain and one third of those patients were needed treatment for the on-going pain.
