Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between oral health professionals' knowledge, attitude, and practice with regard to infectious waste management and to identify related factors influencing it. Methods: The study comprised of 219 oral health professionals from select dental clinics and public health centers recruited between August 25, 2016 and September 5, 2016, who agreed to participate in the study with full understanding of the study objectives. A self-reported questionnaire was administered, which consisted of 22 items on knowledge of infectious waste management, 9 items on attitude, and 16 items on practice. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression analyses. Results: The age, knowledge, and clinical attitude of oral health professionals significantly correlated with waste management practice. Specifically, infectious waste management practice improved with increasing age, a greater level of knowledge, and a more positive clinical attitude. Additionally, the standardized regression coefficient demonstrated that, of these three factors, clinical attitude more strongly correlated with effective waste management practice, followed by age and level of knowledge. Conclusions: These results indicated that oral health professionals had a low level of knowledge regarding infectious waste management, and a more positive clinical attitude resulted in better practices. Therefore, the development of detailed and active education guidelines and strategies are needed to enhance the attitude, knowledge, and practice of oral health professionals with regard to infectious waste management.

Purpose : This study aimed to investigate the impact of clinical reasoning competence, positive psychological capital, and nursing work environment on nursing performance of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses in tertiary general hospitals. Methods : Data were collected from 169 ICU nurses in tertiary general hospitals in Busan, South Korea, from July 27 to August 15, 2023, using a self-report questionnaire. After excluding 12 questionnaires with insufficient responses, 157 responses were analyzed. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis were employed. Results : Factors influencing nursing performance included clinical reasoning competence (β=.51, p <.001), hope as a subfactor of positive psychological capital (β=.31, p <.001), and the nursing foundations for quality of care in the nursing work environment (β=.21, p <.001). The explanatory power of the regression model was 62% (F=87.41, p <.001). Conclusion : The study underscores the importance of improving clinical reasoning competence among ICU nurses to enhance nursing performance and foster a hopeful attitude through reflective practices and personal growth. Organizational interventions, such as educational and psychological support programs, along with creating a supportive nursing environment, are crucial for improving nursing performance among intensive care unit nurses.

Background: Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are defined as "statements that are scientifically reviewed about evidence and systematically developed to assist in the doctors' and patients' decision making in certain clinical situations." This recommendation aims to promote good clinical practice for the provision of safe and effective practices of conscious sedation in dentistry. Method: The development of this clinical practice guideline was conducted by performing a systematic search of the literature for evidence-based CPGs. Existing guidelines, relevant systematic reviews, policy documents, legislation, or other recommendations were reviewed and appraised. To supplement this information, key questions were formulated by the Guideline Development Group and used as the basis for designing systematic literature search strategies to identify literature that may address these questions. Guideline documents were evaluated through a review of domestic and international databases for the development of a renewing of existing conscious sedation guidelines for dentistry. Clinical practice guidelines were critically appraised for their methodologies using Appraisal of guidelines for research and evaluation (AGREE) II. Results: A total of 12 existing CPGs were included and 13 recommendations were made in a range of general, adult, and pediatric areas. Conclusion: The clinical practice guidelines for conscious sedation will be reviewed in 5 years' time for further updates to reflect significant changes in the field.

CDISC 컨소시엄에서는 임상시험에서의 비효율적인 데이터 처리 과정을 개선하기 위해, 플랫폼에 독립적인 임상시험 데이터 표준을 정의하였다. 그러나, CDISC 표준은 여러 나라의 여러 기관이 함께 참여하는 다국가 임상시험에서 발생하는 임상시험 데이터를 다국어로 표현하는 방법에 많은 제약을 갖고 있다. 특히, CDISC가 제정한 표준 중 임상시험 데이터의 콘텐츠 및 포맷에 해당하는 SDTM(Study Data Tabulation Model)과 ODM(Operational Data Model)에서의 다국어 지원이 매우 미비하다. 본 논문은 CDISC의 SDTM과 ODM에서의 언어 설정에 대한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, SDTM과 ODM 표준의 확장을 제안한다. 이를 위해 SDTM에서는 다국어 지원을 위한 새로운 도메인을 설계하였고, ODM에서는 ODM의 확장 스키마를 서브타이핑 방법으로 구현하였다. 확장 SDTM과 ODM을 기반으로 임상시험 데이터를 처리하면, 다국가 임상시험이 수행되는 경우 다국어로 표현된 임상시험 데이터도 효율적으로 처리할 수 있다.

The aim of this research was to examine the management practices related to foodservice.clinical nutrition service provided by hospital foodservice operations. A survey of 30 hospital food nutrition service departments was undertaken and detailed information was collected from each, including surveys of 176 dietitians and 30 foodservice managers. Statistical data analysis was completed using the SAS/win 6.11 package for descriptive analysis and t-test. The results of this study can be summarized as follows : Out of 30 hospitals, 73.3%(22) were directly operated and 26.7%(8) were under contract foodservice management. Licensed number of beds were 768.7, with an average length of 11.4 days. The general characteristics of the dietitians were that 49.4% were aged between 25-29, and 60.8% were ordinary dietitians. 76.7% had bachelor's degree, 15.9% with master's degree and 7.4% were college graduates. Most hospital dietitians had internship training and 35.2% took a training course of 6 to 12 months. The average space of kitchen was 452.52 $m^2$, with 133.63$m^2$ for modified diet space and 18.13$m^2$ for nutrition counselling room space. The total number of normal meals was 1,255.47, with 502.93 of modified meals. The average calorie of normal meals was 2,145.04kcal, with 91.9g of protein contained in normal meal. The total food waste was 351.40kg. An average monthly cost for disposing food waste was 745,171.67 won. 83.3% of the kitchens were on the 1st basement and only 66.7%(20) of 30 hospitals had its own nutrition counselling room. 80% used dishwashers and 66.7% had an exclusive elevator for delivering meals. 80.0% of hospitals used centralized delivery service. 90% had established an area for hygiene division, 70% used dry zone within the dishwashers for sterilization, 66.7% provided spoon and chopstick, and 100% used dish cover. As means of food waste treatment, most hospitals(56.7%) used animal feed by contracters, followed by means of collection by contracters(30%) and in-house high speed fermentation machines(13.3%). It was found that only 33.3% hospitals regularly checked temperatures of the meals given to patients. Total productivity index was 3.72(meals/hour) in average, with an average productivity index for normal diet of 5.41. Average productivity index for modified diet was 4.62. Productivity indices for patient meals and clinical nutrition were 5.01(meals/hour) and 1.12(cases/hour) respectively and hospitals under self-operated foodservice management received higher points on clinical nutrition productivity index(P<0.01) than hospitals under contract foodservice management.

이번 연구는 치위생(학)과 학생들의 임상실습에 대한 만족도와 임상실습 스트레스 요인을 파악하고, 임상실습만족도와 스트레스 요인들 간의 상관관계를 알아보고자 2012년 5월 21일부터 6월 22일까지 병원 임상실습 경험이 있는 치위생(학)과 학생 232명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였으며, SPSS WIN 12.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석한 후 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 스트레스 요인은 학제별로 환경요인, 역할요인, 대인관계요인, 이상과 가치 요인, BEPSI 모든 요인이 4년제보다 3년제에서 높았고(p<0.01), 실습만족도에 따른 스트레스 요인은 불만족일 때 모든 요인이 높았으며, 그 중 환경요인이 가장 높았다(p<0.001). 교육기관에 따라 환경요인은 치과대학병원이 가장 높았고, 대인관계요인과 이상과 가치요인은 치과병원, 역할요인과 BEPSI는 치과의원이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 병원분위기가 나쁠 때 환경요인이 가장 높았고, 역할요인, 대인관계요인, 이상과 가치요인, BEPSI순이었다(p<0.001). 병원실습 스트레스 요인간의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 실습만족도, 환경, 역할, 대인관계, 이상과 가치, BEPSI 간에는 양의 상관관계가 있었고(p<0.01), BEPSI에 가장 큰 영향력을 보이는 스트레스 요인은 대인관계였으며, 환경, 이상과 가치 순으로 나타났다(p<0.001). 임상실습에서 낯선 환경과 대인관계의 부족으로 학생들은 평소보다 스트레스 지수가 더 높을 수 있으므로 학생들이 스트레스에 대해 스스로 잘 대처할 수 있는 능력을 키워주기 위한 체계적인 임상실습 운영방안을 마련해야 할 것으로 생각된다.
