Objectives We are going to analyze patient's medical and Korean medicine use trends after lumbar surgery, and examine the percentage of use of Korean medicine after surgery and its relevance to the medical care outcome after lumbar surgery. Methods Using 3% patients' sample data of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, two groups were compared the treatment progress of the Korean Medicine treatment group and the untreated group after lumbar surgery by hierarchical logistic regression analysis. After hierarchical logistic regression analysis(including propensity scores), two groups were compared after lumbar surgery, the Korean Medicine treatment group within 50days and untreated group within 50days. Results Lumbar surgery was performed in 2750 patients in 2015. It was 3.72 that the risk(odds ratio) of finished treatment of patients treated without Korean Medicine, compared to patients with Korean Medicine. It was 0.12 that the risk of continuing treatment(odds ratio) of patients treated with Korean Medicine within 50 days, compared to patients treatment more than 50 days. Conclusions The ratio of Korean Medicine treatment after lumbar surgery was 14.8%. The group that did not have Korean Medicine showed a higher possibility of treatment termination than the group who did not. Among the groups treated with Korean Medicine, the early treatment group was more likely to end treatment than the late treatment group. Considering various situations in the medical environment, further studies such as prospective studies and long-term data analysis are considered to be necessary.

Objectives To obtain future research basis of Korean Medicine for total knee arthroplasty patient by analyzing medical and Korean Medical service utilization and treatment duration. Methods Data sampling was performed on Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service patient data of 2015 (Confidence level of 97%) to analyze patients' medical and Korean Medical service tendency. Sampling groups were divided into two groups; i) Patients who completed their treatment within 5 months of total knee arthroplasty, ii) Patients who continued their treatment after 5 months of total knee arthroplasty, to investigate patients' medical and Korean Medical service tendency and individual characteristics were carefully monitored. Results It was confirmed that total of 1,655 patients had gone through total knee arthroplasty out of 1,453,486 patients who were gathered for sampling. First sampling group (Patients who completed their treatment within 5 months of total knee arthroplasty) was 287 patients and second sampling group (Patients who continued their treatment after 5 months of total knee arthroplasty) was 385 patients. The proportion of patients who visited Korean Medical service in first sampling group was lower than that of second sampling group. Conclusions It was confirmed that medical and Korean Medical service and cost consumed by second group (Patients who continued their treatment after 5 months of total knee arthroplasty) was higher than that of first group (Patients who continued their treatment after 5 months of total knee arthroplasty). It is highly recommended to continue with further study for efficient medical and Korean Medical service and reduced cost.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the development process and describe the diagnosis methods, theories and treatments of Mongolian traditional medicine and Korean traditional medicine through literature records and prior studies. Methods Literature records and previous studies on traditional medicine of both countries were collected through various sites in Mongolia (Esan, Mongoliajol, Kok, Yumpu, Scribd, Science and Technology Foundation [STF]) and Korea (Koreanstudies Information Service System [KISS], Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information [KISTI], National Digital Science Library [NDSL], Research Information Sharing Service [RISS], Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System [OASIS]). Also the English database was searched through PubMed. In the case of Mongolian traditional medicine, medical books published in Mongolia were mainly referenced and used for research. Results Studying the development process, basic concepts and the system of diagnosis and treatment of the two traditional medicine, several commonalities and differences were revealed. Conclusions This study showed that the scope of diagnosis methods between Mongolian and Korean traditional medicine were slightly different, and that the medical terminology for the diagnosis method had slightly different contents from each other. Although there were many similarities in treatments of Mongolian and Korean traditional medicine, the Chuna therapy is found in Korean traditional medicine only. The basic theories constituting traditional medicine were the same, but the five-element theory used by the two countries differs in the following two factors. Mongolia uses elements of air and space as the theory of five elements, while Korea uses elements of wood and iron.

Objectives Lumbar herniated intervertebral disc (L-HIVD) is common disease in which Western-Korean collaborative treatment is performed in Korea. This study aimed to analyze Western-Korean collaborative treatment utilization of Korean patients with L-HIVD using Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service's Patients Sample Data. Methods This study used the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service-National Patient Sample (HIRA-NPS) in 2018. Claim data of L-HIVD patients were extracted. The claim data were rebuilt with the operational concept of 'episode of care' and divided into Korean medicine episode group (KM), Western medicine episode group (WM) and collaborative treatment episode group (CT). General characteristics, medical expenses and healthcare utilization were analyzed. In addition, the difference of average visit day and average medical expenses between non-collaborative group (KM plus WM) and CT were analyzed by the propensity score matching method. Results A Total of 64,333 patients and 365,745 claims were extracted. The number of episodes of WM, KM and CT was 69,383 (92.97%), 3,903 (5.23%), and 1,341 (1.80%) respectively. The frequency of collaborative treatment episode was higher in women and the age of 50s. The most frequently described treatment in CT was acupuncture therapy. As a result of the propensity score matching, the number of visit days and medical expenses in the collaborative treatment group was higher than in the non-collaborative group. Conclusions The analysis of healthcare utilization of Korean-Western collaborative treatment may be used as basic data for establishing medical policies and systematic collaborative treatment model in the future.

목적 : 본 연구는 재활·요양병원 환자의 사회적 입원이 증가하고 있는 현상에 대해 작업치료사의 관점에서 분석하고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 작업치료사들의 관점을 확인하기 위하여 재활 서비스 평가 도구 RSAT를 기반으로 주관식 설문지를 구성하였고, 2019년 8월 전국 3년차 이상의 작업치료들에게 설문지를 배포 및 수거하였다. 설문지의 응답자료를 van Kaam의 현상학적 연구 방법을 통해 분석하였고, 유효 세부서술에 대해 Word cloud로 다빈도 단어를 분석하였다. 결과 : 배포한 설문지는 수도권, 충청권, 경상권에서 46명의 작업치료사들로부터 응답을 받았다. 설문지의 응답자료는 2개의 범주(categories)와 4개의 주제(theme), 13개의 하위주제(subtheme)로 분석되었다. 2개 범주는 '병원의 체계'와 '작업치료 임상의 내·외부적 요인'으로 나타났으며 '병원의 체계'에 따른 주제는 '다학제 팀 접근의 어려움'과 '퇴원계획 체계의 미흡'으로 나타났다. '작업치료 임상의 내·외부적 요인'에 따른 주제로는 '작업치료사의 어려움'과 '작업치료 실시의 어려움'으로 분석되었다. 결론 : 작업치료사들은 재활·요양병원 환자들의 지역사회 복귀가 어려운 가장 큰 원인이 합리적이지 못한 작업치료 관련 요양급여체계에 있다고 지적하였다. 퇴원 및 지역사회 적응을 위한 작업치료 서비스 체계의 미흡함 역시 환자들로 하여금 퇴원하지 못하고 결국 다시 병원으로의 입원을 하게 만드는 주요 원인의 하나로 인식하고 있었다. 향후 작업치료 처방 및 의료 급여 체계를 환자의 재활 목적에 맞도록 다면화할 필요가 있음을 제언한다.

노화가 시작되면 체력이 저하되어 면역기능이 떨어져 쉽게 병에 걸리고 환경에 대한 적응력이 떨어진다. 특히 60세 이상이 되면 근육 양과 근력이 급격히 가속화되어 신체적으로 약화되기 시작한다. 노화는 자연스럽게 진행되지만 꾸준한 운동을 통해 근력 저하 속도를 늦출 수 있다. 근력 증강을 위한 다양한 기기 개발에도 불구하고 노인들이 사용하는데 어려움이 있다. 특히 노인 신체적 특성에 맞는 운동기기 개발이 절실하며, 노인의 흥미를 유발시켜 자발적 참여를 유도하는 환경이 제공되어야 한다. 가상현실 기술은 실재하지 않거나 먼 거리에 있는 환경을 가상세계로 생성시켜서, 인간의 오감을 각종 인터페이스 장치를 통해 신호를 전달하여 가상의 현실 환경에 실재하고 있다고 느끼도록 만들어 주고, 가상세계와 상호작용을 통해 의료 진단, 치료, 재활 등에 유용한 도구 및 환경을 제공한다. 이러한 가상현실 기술의 특성 때문에 노인의 운동 참여와 운동 효과를 극대화 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 근력의 특성을 분석하고 노화와 근력과의 관계를 조사하고, 상지근력 증강 운동기와 해당 가상현실 컨텐츠 그리고 관련 컨텐츠 개발 동향에 대해 제시하고자 한다.
