Nursing of today has as one of its objectives the solving of problems related to human needs arising from the demands of a rapidly changing society. This nursing objective, I believe, can he attained by the appropriate application of scientific principles in the giving of comprehensive nursing care. Comprehensive nursing care may be defined as nursing care which meets all of the patient's needs. the needs of patients are said to fall into five broad categories: physical needs, psychological needs, environmental needs, socio-economic needs, and teaching needs. Most people who become ill have adjustment problems related to their new situation. Because patient teaching is one of the most important functions of professional nursing, the success of this teaching may be used as a gauge for evaluating comprehensive nursing care. This represents a challenge foe the future. A questionnaire consisting of 67 items was distributed to 200 professional nurses working ill direct patient care at Yonsei University Medical Center in Seoul, Korea. 160 (80,0%) nurses of the total sample returned completed questionnaires 81 (50.6%) nurses were graduates of 3 fear diploma courser 79 (49.4%) nurses were graduates of 4 year collegiate nursing schools in Korea 141 (88,1%) nurses had under 5 years of clinical experience in a medical center, while 19 (11.9%) nurses had more than 5years of clinical experience. Three hypotheses were tested: 1. “Nurses had high levels of concept and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by the use of a statistical method, the mean average. 2. “Nurses graduating from collegiate programs and diploma school programs of nursing show differences in concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by a statistical method, the mean average, although the results showed little difference between the two groups. 3. “Nurses having different amounts of clinical experience showed differences in concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by the use of a statistical method, the mean average. 2. “Nurses graduating from collegiate programs and diploma school programs of nursing show differences in concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by a statistical method, the mean average, although the results showed little difference between the two groups. 3. “Nurses having different amounts of clinical experience showed differences in concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by the use of the T-test. Conclusions of this study are as follow: Before attempting the explanation, of the results, the questionnaire will he explained. The questionnaire contained 67 questions divided into 9 sections. These sections were: concept, content, time, prior preparation, method, purpose, condition, evaluation, and recommendations for patient teaching. 1. The nurse's concept of patient teaching: Most of the nurses had high levels of concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching. Though nursing service was task-centered at the turn of the century, the emphasis today is put on patient-centered nursing. But we find some of the nurses (39.4%) still are task-centered. After, patient teaching, only a few of the nurses (14.4%) checked this as “normal teaching.”It seems therefore that patient teaching is often done unconsciously. Accordingly it would he desirable to have correct concepts and knowledge of teaching taught in schools of nursing. 2. Contents of patient teaching: Most nurses (97.5%) had good information about content of patient teaching. They teach their patients during admission about their diseases, tests, treatments, and before discharge give nurses instruction about simple nursing care, personal hygiene, special diets, rest and sleep, elimination etc. 3. Time of patient teaching: Teaching can be accomplished even if there is no time set aside specifically for it. -a large part of the nurse's teaching can be done while she is giving nursing care. If she believes she has to wait for time free from other activities, she may miss many teaching opportunities. But generally proper time for patient teaching is in the midmorning or midafternoon since one and a half or two hours required. Nurses meet their patients in all stages of health: often tile patient is in a condition in which learning is impossible-pain, mental confusion, debilitation, loss of sensory perception, fear and anxiety-any of these conditions may preclude the possibility of successful teaching. 4. Prior preparation for patient teaching: The teaching aids, nurses use are charts (53.1%), periodicals (23.8%), and books (7.0%) Some of the respondents (28.1%) reported that they had had good preparation for the teaching which they were doing, others (27.5%) reported adequate preparation, and others (43.8%) reported that their preparation for teaching was inadequate. If nurses have advance preparation for normal teaching and are aware of their objectives in teaching patients, they can do effective teaching. 5. Method of patient teaching: The methods of individual patient teaching, the nurses in this study used, were conversation (55.6%) and individual discussion (19.2%) . And the methods of group patient teaching they used were demonstration (42.3%) and lecture (26.2%) They should also he prepared to use pamphlet and simple audio-visual aids for their teaching. 6. Purposes of patient teaching: The purposes of patient teaching is to help the patient recover completely, but the majority of the respondents (40.6%) don't know this. So it is necessary for them to understand correctly the purpose of patient teaching and nursing care. 7. Condition of patient teaching: The majority of respondents (75.0%) reported there were some troubles in teaching uncooperative patients. It would seem that the nurse's leaching would be improved if, in her preparation, she was given a better understanding of the patient and communication skills. The majority of respondents in the total group, felt teaching is their responsibility and they should teach their patient's family as well as the patient. The place for teaching is most often at the patient's bedside (95.6%) but the conference room (3.1%) is also used. It is important that privacy be provided in learning situations with involve personal matters. 8. Evaluation of patient teaching: The majority of respondents (76.3%,) felt leaching is a highly systematic and organized function requiring special preparation in a college or university, they have the idea that teaching is a continuous and ever-present activity of all people throughout their lives. The suggestion mentioned the most frequently for improving preparation was a course in patient teaching included in the basic nursing program. 9. Recommendations: 1) It is recommended, that in clinical nursing, patient teaching be emphasized. 2) It is recommended, that insertive education the concepts and purposes of patient teaching he renewed for all nurses. In addition to this new knowledge, methods and materials which can be applied to patient teaching should be given also. 3) It is recommended, in group patient teaching, we try to embark on team teaching.

보건소의 금연사업은 정부의 정책이 지역사회에서 대주민 사업을 통해 직접 수행된다는 측면에서 매우 중요하며 따라서 보건소 금연사업을 지속적으로 모니터링하고 발전하도록 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 보건소 금연사업 담당자들을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 통해 우리나라 보건소 금연사업의 현황 및 문제점 파악을 하여 이를 근거로 보건소 금연사업의 개선 및 발전방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 2006년 11월에 전국의 보건소 금연사업 담당자를 대상으로 교육 참석자 및 우편 혹은 이메일을 통해 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 246개 보건소 중에서 213명이 응답하였고 그 중 응답내용이 부실한 1건을 제외한 212건을 대상으로 분석하였다. 조사 결과 금연사업 담당자들의 업무 경력에서 86.7%가 금연사업 종사 기간이 3년 미만이었고 90% 정도가 87.3%가 다른 업무를 겸하고 있었다. 금연사업의 내용으로서 포스터나 리플렛을 이용한 홍보와 중고등학생 대상 흡연예방 교육을 거의 모든 보건소에서 실시하였으며, 실제적인 사업의 우선순위는 지역사회 진단이 아닌 현실적인 이유에 의해 결정하는 경우가 많았다. 사업수행을 위한 자원에서 예산이 부족하다고 한 경우는 1.9%에 지나지 않았으며 44.7%가 인력이 부족하다고 하였다. 사업에 필요한 지식과 기술의 습득은 스스로 터득하거나 전임자의 도움에 의존하는 경우가 많았다. 금연사업을 위한 부서간 업무 조율이 잘 된다는 경우가 39.5%에 지나지 않았으며, 금연사업 지원을 위한 중앙정부의 기능에 대해서는 대체적으로 만족하는 경향이었다. 보건소 금연사업 발전을 위해 가장 필요한 것으로서 인력의 역량강화가 65.6%로서 가장 많았다. 본 연구 결과 보건소 금연사업의 발전을 위해서 향후 보건소 금연사업의 발전을 위해서는 과학적 근거를 바탕으로 하고 지역사회 여건에 적합한 금연사업의 기획 및 수행이 필요하며 이를 위해 보건소 인력의 역량과 전문성 강화를 위한 교육 훈련 과정의 지속적 개발이 필요하다. 또한 사업대상자의 참여 유도 방안 개발, 지역사회의 인적 자원 활용 강화, 부서간 업무 연계의 강화방안 마련 등이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.
