The purpose of this study was to propose and estimate the architectural planning of general hospital in Korea, for the aged society in the near future. Average life expectancy of Koreans has been lengthened and the percentage of the aged populations is expected to be increased sharply. Therefore, the social problems for the aged occur in various levels, especially in healthcare facilities and medical system due to the weak health conditions of the aged. These problems will become more serious in the near future. However, the architectural planning of general hospital in Korea has not been prepared for the aged society yet. The results of this study were as follows the ward of general hospital should be divided into acute and geriatric wards because of the characteristics of geriatric diseases.

본 연구는 적절한 간호서비스 개선을 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 실시하였는데. S시에 소재한 병원의 안심병동(보호자 없는)과 일반병동에 입원한 65세 이상 135명의 노인환자들에게 2013년 12월 5일부터 31일까지 간호서비스 만족도를 조사하였다. 연구결과, 적정 간호인력을 배치하여 간호사가 간호서비스를 직접 제공한 안심병동(4.41점)은 일반병동(4.07점)보다 간호서비스 만족도가 높았다(t=3.45, p=.001). 안심병동과 일반병동 간 하부 영역별 차이를 살펴보면, 전문기술 영역(t=2.96, p=.004), 교육 영역(t=3.30, p=.001), 신뢰성 영역(t=3.79, p<.001) 모두에서 안심병동이 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 안심병동의 간호서비스 만족도 하부영역 중에서는 신뢰성 영역이 가장 높았고, 전문기술 영역, 교육 영역 순이었다. 이를 근거로 간호서비스의 만족도를 높이기 위해서는 적정 간호인력을 확보하는 것이 필요하다.

In the complexity and diversity of modern society, there is an urgent need for an information system which can systematically collect, manage and analyze data. Especially in the discipline of nursing, a nursing informarion system is necessary to maximize nursing resources and improve nursing care in the present system which is faced with increases in client needs and multiple changes in hospital environments. This research was done to provide a basis for the development of an integrative nursing information system for the future, by designing dababases items which were extracted from an analysis of the ward nursing information system on general wards excluding the OPD, ICU, OR and CSR with functions using a different system from the wards, and the design of output screen used the database items. The ward nursing information system was analysed through analysis of nursing practice related to recordings, such as the worksheet, kardex, and other nursing practice recordings, on 25 wards. The development of the database was the part of the construction of hospital information system and used the database development life cycle which is related to the system development life cycle. The database development steps included selection of database management system and design of a physical database following the principles of the order communication system which is been developing at Y University Hospital. Conceptual database and Logical database were designed using the base of 25 data items and fields derived from analysing the worksheet, the data items and fields derived from the kardex and other nursing practice recording, from these 19 data base tables were framed through transforming the relational database. Through this process, four types of output material for nursing practice recording which nurses can carry and use during their nursing practice were produced.

Purpose: To decrease cross-infection, it's essential to analyze the spatial composition of the 'PPE doffing area'. Instead of solely relying on manpower standards, we should focus on responding to infectious diseases within the context of space planning. By doing so, we can lower the risk for healthcare workers' infection and ensure a level of safety in various environmental changes or new manpower input situations. Methods: This analysis is conducted specifically for facilities with negative pressure isolation wards. Additionally, interview surveys to obtain feedback from healthcare workers and incorporate their expertise into the design of the 'PPE doffing area' have been carried. Results: In a PPE doffing area, the standard spaces include a PPE doffing room, a shower room, and a clothing room. Depending on the facility environment or the level of infectious diseases, a Decontamination room or Anteroom can be optionally added. Healthcare workers who remove their PPE in the PPE doffing room should avoid re-entering the Negative pressure room. The shower room is often underutilized. When planning for a future PPE doffing area, an aisle space or passageway must be included even if a shower room is planned. Implications: This study examined the space used by healthcare workers rather than patients, with a focus on infection prevention through architectural planning rather than individual efforts. However, the investigation was limited to facilities that have been converted from general wards to negative pressure isolation wards, so it cannot be generalized to all infectious disease facilities.

This thesis aims to establish a criterion to determine the scale of emergency beds and emergency wards equipped in general hospitals in the suburbs of Seoul. A new, large hospital (over 1000 beds) located in the southeast area of Seoul was selected and investigated for the case of this study, and throuh the P.O.E. a few mistakes in the method of determining the scale of the emergency department there came to light. Joining together, the effectiveness of the scale determination method devised by us (Lee's formula) was verified, and finally the optimum scale of the emergency department for this general hospital was proposed.

Purposes: This study analyzed activities for improvement of quality of care in nursing units to identify group-level success factors of quality improving efforts. Methodology/Approach: Research subjects were 31 general wards of C university hospital, which has 1,200 beds. Data were collected through survey and focus group interview. The mean value of nurses in a ward was converted to unit-level variable value of the ward. The SPSS 24.0 version was used to analyse the data. The units were classified into two groups, high performing and low performing, by the subjective level of quality improvement performance. Findings: The main findings are as follows: 1. The high performing groups participated more in education related to quality improvement and showed more quality improvement cases in progress than that of their counterpart. 2. The high performing group's nurses show more positive perception and attitude on quality improvement activities, and they have positive assessment on the necessity, effect, satisfaction about the quality improvement activities. 3. Middle managers' ability, attitude, motivation, and effective communication across members of the ward played pivotal roles in boosting the quality improvement activities of wards.
