It is estimated that the need to build health facilities for the elderly will grow in the near future as the Korean society is aging. Thus the study on the spatial composition of 22 facilities as well as on the cases of health facilities for the elderly in Japan, where public health and medicare for aged people are well taken care of, was conducted and the following are the results: 1. As of 2000, there was one facility for every 8,000 and 1,100 aged citizen under long-term care, and these facilities secured beds enough for $8\%$ of those who need long-term care. 2. The spatial composition was categorized into general living space, long-term care, management, provision, and home assistance, and housing was provided. Moreover, the space was divided according to their nature of use, the arrangement, the form of entrance into the building, moving line inside, the relationship with the health facilities and their characteristics are analyzed based on different users, managers, moving line including that of provision of food, the relationship between different spaces with different functions as well as on the relationship between locations of each space. 3.

This study reviews 302 articles on health care organizations (HCOs) from 33 Korean Research Foundation registered journals. Articles are classified by criteria, focusing on study topics and methods. Key findings: (1) 'health care' journals are the major source of research on HCOs, (2) there has been a rapid increase in the amount of articles since the 1990s, (3) the majority of the studies deals with micro issues such as job attitude or motivation, (4) approximately 17% of the articles does not provide hypotheses based on theoretical assumptions, (5) few studies attempt to propose a new concept or theoretical framework, (6) most of the studies consider 'individual' as a level of analysis, (7) the use of cross-sectional data collected by survey questionnaire is general, and (8) individuals in a single occupation from multiple organizations are the main data source. Based on the findings, some directions for future research are proposed. Most of all, having more opportunities to introduce theories of organization and organizational behavior in health care need to be made in order to enhance understanding of HCOs. Next, sophisticated methodologies to guide empirical investigations should be developed to reduce deficiencies in research. Finally, efforts to encourage interdisciplinary approaches to the study on HCOs also need to be increased.

Physicians, in order to study the causes of cancer, detect cancer earlier, prevent or determine the effectiveness of treatment, and specify the reasons for the treatment ineffectiveness, need to access accurate, comprehensive, and timely cancer data. The cancer care environment has become more complex because of the need for coordination and communication among health care professionals with different skills in a variety of roles and the existence of large amounts of data with various formats. The goals of health care systems in such a complex environment are correct health data management, providing appropriate information needs of users to enhance the integrity and quality of health care, timely access to accurate information and reducing medical errors. These roles in new systems with use of agents efficiently perform well. Because of the potential capability of agent systems to solve complex and dynamic health problems, health care system, in order to gain full advantage of E- health, steps must be taken to make use of this technology. Multi-agent systems have effective roles in health service quality improvement especially in telemedicine, emergency situations and management of chronic diseases such as cancer. In the design and implementation of agent based systems, planning items such as information confidentiality and privacy, architecture, communication standards, ethical and legal aspects, identification opportunities and barriers should be considered. It should be noted that usage of agent systems only with a technical view is associated with many problems such as lack of user acceptance. The aim of this commentary is to survey applications, opportunities and barriers of this new artificial intelligence tool for cancer care information as an approach to improve cancer care management.

본 연구는 국내 호스피스 완화의료 기관 내 사별돌봄을 위한 음악 활용 현황 및 음악 활용에 대한 프로그램 코디네이터의 인식을 조사하여 향후 적용될 음악치료 사별돌봄 프로그램에 대한 구체적 자료를 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 국내 호스피스 완화의료 기관 중 보건복지부가 지정한 호스피스 완화의료 전문기관 및 시범사업 중인 요양병원 91곳을 대상으로 온 오프라인 설문조사를 진행하였다. 설문조사는 2016년 10월부터 약 한달 간 진행되었으며, 수집된 54부의 자료는 SPSS 기술통계 및 Mann-Whitney U 검정을 통해 분석되었다. 연구 결과 전체 기관 중 92.6%에서 사별돌봄 프로그램을 운영하며, 51.9%는 음악을 활용하고 있었다. 이중 현재 운영 중인 프로그램이 사별돌봄의 필요를 충족하고 있다고 보고한 경우는 단 20.3%에 불과하나 사별돌봄 프로그램 필요성(4.52점)과 사별돌봄 음악치료 프로그램 필요성(4.20점)에 대해서는 모두 높게 인식하고 있어 현 프로그램에 대한 개선이 요구됨을 알 수 있다.

Purpose: This study aims to classify multiple forms of home care services from a service user's perspective. By comparing the German system to the Korean one, this study seeks to find better ways of enhancing client-centered care. Methods: The data of 121 home care users were collected from six home care centers that had under the management of nursing managers for more than five years. The researcher used a German instrument to estimate the level of care. Results: High correlation was found between German and Korean assessment criteria (r=0.81, p<.001). However, compared to their German counterparts, Korean home care providers allocated more time towards provision of domestic help per daily visit. German home care providers allocated more time towards services relating to provision of support for physical activities, including personal hygiene. It was confirmed that the level of care in Korea does not correlate with either the categories of home care services and duration. Conclusion: Therefore, care services should be offered according to long-term care needs. This study suggests a need for systematic care aimed at strengthening the client's autonomy which should be properly planned, implemented, and managed.

Purpose: This paper is a report of a concept analysis of 'quality of pediatric nursing care', Methods: Rodgers's evolutionary method of concept analysis was used. Data were collected from published literature related to quality of pediatric nursing care. Results: Quality of pediatric nursing care was identified with three dimensions and seven attributes: 1) nurse's character: technical competence, interpersonal competence, 2) nurse's activities: developmentally appropriate care, attentiveness, entertainment, 3) nurse-parent interaction: nurse-parent partnership, emotional support. Antecedents of quality of pediatric nursing care were 'child and parent's expectation about pediatric nursing care', 'previous caring experience of pediatric nurses'. Consequences of quality of pediatric nursing care were 'meet child and parent's needs' and 'better health outcomes.' Conclusion: 'Quality of pediatric nursing care' is a core concept in pediatric nursing practice. Appropriate instruments to operationalize the concept need to be developed.

Purpose: To investigate health problems in child day care centers, needs for Child Care Health Programs, and management of sick children by day-care staff. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study. Day-care staff (N=206) from 33 day care centers in Seoul, completed a structured questionnaire. Results: Almost half of the day-care staff (53.4%) experienced sick events in their child at least once a month. The most frequently reported difficulty in having a sick child was in not having a health professional to consult, and almost all day-care staff (99.5%) had asked parents not to bring a sick child to the day care center. The biggest reason of exclusion was due to infectious disease including measles, chicken pox, mumps, diarrhea·vomiting, and pink eye. The majority of day-care staff (97.6%) agreed that there is a need for Center-based Child Care Health Program (CCCHP), and expected general health & illness management, and special care for chronic disease from CCCHP. Conclusion: These results showed a high incidence of sickness in children in day care centers, and there were great demands for a Center-based Child Care Health Program for day-care staff. Also the results of this study can be utilized as a basis for the establishment of child care policy in Korea.
