A major factor in making current hospital gowns is how to manage patients from the standpoint of hospitals. This shows that hospital gowns have not been considered as an apparel for a specific purpose with a design that considers the psychological composure of patients. This study, along with a meticulous analysis of the pattern design of domestic hospital gown suggests a design philosophy that can be of emotional help to patients. The analysis of hospital gowns in terms of motif is that the corporate identity of the hospital in question, along with the lettering symbolizing the hospital is conspicuous. The motif shown in the pattern also has a brightness contrast and two-way pattern. This study suggests hospital gown patterns as follows. First, on the basis of color dynamics, utilize repetition arrangement, camaieu arrangement and faux camaieu arrangement. Second, make use of warm colors in order to enhance trust between patients and medical staff. Last, use green color as a dominant color for the hospital to be felt of as a convenient space. Utilizing these three factors in the future design of hospital gowns will assist in the development of new hospital gowns that render a psychological composure.

The Pharmaceutical Affairs Act stipulates medication counseling as an obligatory requirement in the case of preparation of medicine. In fact, there are many cases where pharmacists only tell patients the dose and time and do not properly guide them on taking medications. However, in light of the current situation where non-face-to-face treatment is being attempted, there is a high possibility of drug-taking accidents due to insufficient medication guidance. In addition, as an aging society progresses, the need for explanations on pharmaceuticals is increasing. If a pharmacist causes damage to a patient by failing to give appropriate medication guidance, the patient can claim compensation for damages. In addition, if a drug accident occurs due to a conflict between the pharmacist's duty to guide medication and the doctor's duty to explain, a joint tort is established between the pharmacist and the doctor. Nevertheless, there are cases in which only doctors are judged to bear the tort liability. However, the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act includes providing information for the selection of over-the-counter drugs in the medication guidance as part of the medication guidance obligation. Therefore, in order to reconsider the importance of the medication-taking guidance duty, it is necessary to define the medicationaking information provision method and the medication-taking guidance duty as separate concepts. In addition, it is necessary to amend related regulations centered on patients so that medication guidance, such as side effects of medicines and interactions with concomitant medications, can be made in detail.

The purpose of this study is to develop comfortable patient gown for spinal surgery patients. The results of the survey confirmed inconveniences and problems with the current gown, and a new gown style was recommended. The recommended changes addressed design, pattern, and materials. The final experimental design for the top of the new patient gown is a wrap style that moves the center opening of the gown to the side and enables patients to control the length of the sleeves by attaching two snaps. The cutting line is aligned with the back brace location, and the issue of repeated bunching of the gown material by the brace was solved by substituting 100% knitted structure fiber. The sleeve length can be adjusted with snaps on the sleeve cap and hem. When lifting up the gown for treatment on specific areas of the body, doctors open the edge of the right side of the gown in order to lift up the top. The bottom of the new patient gown was made from 100% cotton knitted structure fiber, and it enables patients to control the length of pants by attaching two snaps on the side. The results of an on-site dressing suitability evaluation and a flexibility evaluation with respect to dressing/undressing indicated that the new patient gown was much better received than the existing gowns (A and B). Our hypothesis regarding new patient gowns was supported in both the fit and design categories.

본 연구의 목적은 유방절제수술을 받은 여성들을 위해 개발한 다섯 종류의 브래지어와 두 종류의 보정물 유형에 따른 착용감과 쾌적성을 검토하기 위한 것이다. 피험자로는 유방절제시술기간이 3년 이상이며 브래지어 사이즈 85에 컵사이즈 A컵인 여성 세 명을 선정하였다. 실험방법은 보정물을 삽입한 브래지어를 하루에 최소 15시간 이상 연속착용하도록 하고 실험복을 착용한 상태에서 피험자들의 일상과 그에 소요된 시간을 기록하도록 하였으며 이 때 착용한 브래지어와 보정물에 대한 느낌을 5점 척도로 표시하게 하였다. 실험기간은 다섯 종류의 브래지어를 하루에 한 가지씩 정해진 순서대로, 처음 5일은 옥보정물과 함께 착용하도록 하고 그 후 5일은 스펀지 보정물과 함께 착용하도록 하였으며 이러한 순서를 두 번 반복하게 하여 총 20일이 소요되었다. 각각의 피험자들에 대해서는 실험이 진행되는 동안 반복적인 면접을 통하여 진행상황을 기록하였으며 아울러 실험복에 대한 제언을 수렴하여 보다 나은 제품개발을 위한 기본 자료화하였다. 실험결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 브래지어에 있어서는 세 명의 피험자가 일치된 결과를 나타내어 일반적인 브래지어 형태와 가장 유사하면서 어깨 끈과 하변밴드 폭만 약간 넓혀준 실험복이 착용감에서 가장 높은 점수를 받았다. 착용자의 편의를 고려하여 앞트임으로 제작한 실험복의 경우에는 앞으로 구부렸을 때 밴드부분이 꺾이는 현상이 생겼으며 피험자들이 모두 뒤트임에 익숙하여 앞트임 브래지어 착용에 불편함을 나타내었다. 브래지어 착장평가에 있어서는 피험자들의 일상적인 행동이나 보정물의 종류가 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다 2. 보정물 평가에 있어서는 모든 피험자가 옥가루 재질의 보정물만으로는 수술부위를 자극하는 느낌이 든다고 하였으나 3mm 두께의 스펀지와 함께 삽입했을 때는 아무런 문제가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 보정물의 무게 조절이 가능하므로 실리콘재질의 보정물에서 쉽게 찾아볼 수 있는 무게에 대한 문제를 제기한 피험자는 없었다. 그러나 스펀지로 제작된 보정물에 대해서는 무게가 너무 가벼워 모든 피험자들이 양 쪽 가슴의 균형이 잘 맞지 않는다고 답하였으며 특히, 운동을 즐기고 활동이 많은 피험자의 경우 스펀지로 제작된 보정물에 대해 큰불만을 표시하였다.
