The subjects were 468 medical technicians in 10 general hospitals. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from July 1, 2015 to August 30, 2015 and analyzed with descriptive statistics, ANOVA, t-test, Pearson's correlation, Hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The mean score of stress level was $2.62{\pm}0.69$, satisfaction level $2.92{\pm}0.62$, organizational commitment $3.37{\pm}0.63$, and turnover intention $2.97{\pm}0.68$. We found the positive correlations of turnover intention with stress. There were negative correlations among job satisfaction, organizational commitment and turnover intention. These results showed that medical technicians were needed to minimize stress in order to maintain job satisfaction, organizational commitment and decrease turnover intention.

This article examines the professional status of radiographers in an attempt to answer the question "Radiographers: responsible medical professional or detached employee?" Comparisons are made on the past and present views of radiography with thoughts given into the possible change for the future. It can be clearly seen that the professional rights have been taken away as a result of overwhelming medical dominance but changes are slowly taking to place which are attempting to replace the lost autonomy to place radiography as a profession once again.

본지에서는 이번호부터 일본의 의료제도와 병원경영에 대한 연재를 시작하고자 한다. 일본의 의료제도나 병원운영에 대하여 잘 알려진 것 같으나 막상 그 실체에 대하여 정확한 지식이 부족한 실정에서 우리나라의 의료에 직.간접으로 많은 영향을 주고 있는 일본의 의료제도의 전반에 대한 소개와 함께 현장에서 접한 일본병원계의 실상에 대한 상세한 정보는 우리 병원계에도 많은 참고가 되리라 믿는다. 연재를 맡아줄 남상요교수는 연세대학교 보건대학원을 졸업하고 1988년 도일하여 1993년 일본동경대학교에서 보건학 박사학위를 마친 후 동경대학교 보건관리 학교실 객원 연구원, 병원 종합컨설팅회사인 일본ITEC(주)연구원을 거쳐 1994년 귀국하여 현재 유한전문대학 의무행정과 교수로 재직하고 있다. 전공은 병원행정으로써 약 6년간 일본생활 중 일본 전국의 병원 및 의료관련 기관들을 방문하여 병원 운영에 관한 조사와 컨설팅업무에도 관여하였다. 의료료란 결국 한나라의 문화의 반영이라는 관점에서 직접 일본에서 생활하면서 느꼈던 의료를 포함한 사회,문화에 관한 기술은 독자 여러분의 흥미와 더불어 유익한 정보를 제공해 주리라 믿는다

The purpose of the study was to identify the mediating effects of self-efficacy between job-stress and depression in regional hospitals' workers. The data of this study were collected from 700 hospitals' workers who have been working in 306 hospitals in B city. And the data were collected from Feb. to May 2012. To determine the impact of self-efficacy on job-stress and depression for men and women workers in local hospitals, we measure self-efficacy, job-stress and depression of workers and analyze their relationships. There was a negative relationship between self-efficacy and job-stress(r=-.238, p<.001), depression(r=-.626 p<.001). Verifying the mediating effects of self-efficacy to the impact of job stress on depression, the mediating effects of self-efficacy were significant. It suggests that there is a need to relax the negative impact of job stress through the promotion of self-efficacy for individual or team-level organization.

Objectives: While there have recently been efforts to improve public health service at a governmental level, there is actually insufficient research on awareness of the roles related to public health service among hospital employees. This study examined role perception and function performance related to public health service among the medical staff in a national hospital. Methods: 15% were randomly sampled from each type of occupation among the medical staff in a national university hospital, a survey was conducted in 323 persons, and there were a total of 265 participants (80.2%): 103 doctors(38.9%), 98 nurses (37.0%), and 64 others (24.1%). Results: The hospital employees had insufficient awareness of their roles as public health service providers in terms of six required items for public health service: 1) services for supporting establishment, implementation, and assessment of public health service policies, 2) participation in the health service activities and support services by central or local governments, 3) technological support and educational services for private health service institutions, 4) health service for unprivileged brackets, 5) health service that requires association with other areas dealing with geriatric, disabled, and mentally-disordered people, and 6) health service for children and mothers. Conclusions: In general, since the hospital employees had insufficient awareness of their roles and responsibilities as public health service providers, it is necessary to secure manpower exclusively in charge of public health service and provide education about strategic public health service.

최근 병원 간 경쟁이 격화되고 의료시장의 개방이 임박하면서 많은 병원들이 경쟁력강화를 위한 전략 수립에 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 일반적으로 서비스산업의 경영에 있어서 고객의 요구를 파악하고 이를 경영관리에 반영하는 것은 중요한 경쟁력강화 전략의 하나로 인식되고 있다. 특히 의료서비스에 있어서 환자 만족은 소비자 선택에 직접적인 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있다(Burns, 1994). 최근 강조되고 있는 환자중심의 병원도 병원을 찾는 환자를 의료소비자 개념의 고객으로 보고 그들을 만족시킬 수 있도록 의료 기술적, 인간 관계적, 서비스 편의적 노력을 다해야 한다는 의미를 내포하고 있다. 병원에서의 환자만족 향상 노력은 그 자체가 매우 다차원적인(multidimensional) 개념으로 양질의 의료서비스를 통한 삶의 질 향상과 환자들에게 병원에 대한 좋은 이미지를 심어줌으로써 충성도를 높이고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다.
