The objective of this study is to provide basic information for planning and practicing social welfare services for married nurse officers serving in the Korean military. For such a purpose, this study identifies the difficulties which married nurse officers have faced and the necessary services which are supposed to alleviate them. The data were collected by sending a questionnaire to 114 married nurse officers from July 16 to August 10, 2001. The results of this study are as follows: First, the married nurse officers were relatively dissatisfied with such domains as child care and education, health, and housing. And among the thirty-four problems, the married nurse officers expressed the most serious dissatisfaction with the difficulty in attending the events held in child's school, lack of children's dormitory run by the military, difficulty in adjusting to the school due to frequent house-moving, and limited access to dental care. Second, the married nurse officers needed services in domains such as housing, child care and education, and health. Specifically, they wanted the military-run housing, child care facility within military hospitals, maternity leave for child care and education, extension of risk allowances, and support for BOQ. Third, with regard to the seriousness of problems as well as the priority of services, the married nurse officers gave higher priority to such domains as child care and education, health, and housing. These results indicate that married nurse officers were to the largest extent concerned with these three domains and that they had the urgent need for services relevant to those domains. The importance of routine need assessments as well as solutions to the family-related problems for married nurse officers is therefore suggested in this study.

본 연구는 소방공무원의 구강건강관리 행동에 대한 실태를 파악하고자 대전광역시의 일부 소방서에 근무하는 241명의 소방공무원을 대상으로 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 1일 칫솔질 횟수는 남성은 3회, 여성은 4회라는 응답이 많았고, 칫솔질 시간은 20대 연령과 근무경력이 5년 이하인 근무자들이 3분 이상 닦는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 구강보조용품 사용은 20, 30대 연령과 근무경력이 10년 미만인 근무자들이 많이 사용하고 있었으며, 소방장 이하의 계급에서 구강보건교육 경험이 많았다. 셋째, 구강보건교육을 받은 경우 구강보조용품을 더 많이 사용하고 있었고, 1년 내 치석제거도 더 많이 시행한 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과 열악한 근무환경에 비해 소방공무원의 구강건강관리상태는 다행히 양호한 수준 이였으나, 향후 구강건강향상을 위한 IT와 로봇기술이 융합된 직무 맞춤형 구강건강 프로그램 개발과 홍보대책 방안을 마련하고 소방공무원의 처우를 개선한다면 소방공무원들의 구강건강관리 수준은 더 향상될 수 있을 것이라 사료되었다.

This study was conducted to identify the factors that affect the output of health conters. An analystical model employed in this study was developed by modifying 'input-output model' and 'organizational behavior model'. Data were collected form two source; the 1995 report of thealth center which was submitted to the Ministry of Health and Welfare and a mail survey questionary of officers at health center, including 66 directors and 1,768 staffs of the health centers in southern region. The major findings are as follows: That analysis has identified the factors associated with dependent variables: medical services provided by the health center and health program performance(HPP). The number of primary medical facilities was negatively associated with health center performance while the number of staffs, job satisfaction, and professional background of health center directors were positively associated. These independent variables accounted for 40.1% of the variance of dependent variables. The variance of HPP was significantly explained by the number of health subcenter and primary health post, priority level of public health program by hief executive officers(CEOs) and legislator. A significant relationship was found between leadership types of health center directors and the performance of maternal and child health program. Considering these results, the authors suggested that the role in medical care service of health center in the should be rearranged at local level because medical care service of the health center is competing with primary medical facilities in the same region. It is also suggested that educational efforts be made to improve leadership of the health center directors and concern with public health program by the CEOs and legislators of local governments.

Background: Lead (Pb) exposure in shooting ranges has been reduced by various measures such as jacketed ammunition and lead-free primers. Nevertheless, this may lead to exposure to other metals, potentially resulting in adverse health effects. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 35 subjects from seven different shooting ranges were studied: four shooting instructors, 10 police officers, 15 Special Forces, and six maintenance staff members. Metals and metalloids were determined in blood and urine by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Results: The concentrations of most elements did not differ significantly between groups or compared to reference values, except for Sb and Pt in urine and Pb in blood. Mean values for Sb were considerably higher in urine from the Special Forces ($0.34{\mu}g/L$), the maintenance staff ($0.13{\mu}g/L$), and shooting instructors ($0.32{\mu}g/L$) compared to the police officers before shooting ($0.06{\mu}g/L$) and a Belgian reference value ($0.04{\mu}g/L$). For Pt, the Special Forces showed higher mean urinary concentrations ($0.078{\mu}g/L$) compared to a Belgian reference value (<$0.061{\mu}g/L$). Mean values for blood lead were markedly higher in the Special Forces ($3.9{\mu}g/dL$), maintenance staff ($5.7{\mu}g/dL$), and instructors ($11.7{\mu}g/dL$) compared to police officers ($1.4{\mu}g/dL$). One instructor exceeded the biological exposure index for blood Pb ($38.8{\mu}g/dL$). Conclusion: Since both Pb and Sb were found to be higher in shooting range employees, especially among frequent shooters, it is advisable to provide appropriate protective equipment, education, and medical follow-up for shooting range personnel in addition to careful choice of ammunition.

The responsibility to ensure the health rights of detainees, particularly their medical rights, fundamentally lies with the state in all nations. However, in the correctional facilities of the Republic of Korea, these rights are currently not adequately safeguarded. Numerous detainees express dissatisfaction with the medical services provided and show a preference for voluntary external treatment. However, barriers such as prolonged application processes for external treatment and the requirement for detainees to cover their medical expenses present significant challenges. Therefore, the National Human Rights Commission of Korea has advocated for an increased medical budget in correctional facilities and a bolstered professional medical workforce to improve the medical care of detainees. Recommendations for improvements include: (1) establishing dedicated correctional hospitals for detainees, (2) setting up specialized correctional wards, (3) collaborating with military hospitals, (4) launching mobile medical buses for diverse specialties, (5) enhancing collaboration with public and private medical institutions, (6) increasing compensation for partnering external medical institutions, (7) improving the working conditions of medical officers, (8) safeguarding the defense rights of medical staff, (9) improving the working conditions of public health doctors from the Ministry of Justice in correctional facilities, and (10) pre-assigning public health specialists and military doctors to correctional facilities. By implementing these measures, it is anticipated that the quality of medical services in the Republic of Korea's correctional facilities will improve, reducing the demand for external treatments among detainees and ensuring their health and medical rights are realistically upheld.

목적: 대상자의 에이즈에 대한 지식수준과 태도를 파악하고, 에이즈감염자에 대한 태도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하기 위함이다. 방법: 본 연구는 G광역시내 보건복지 분야에 종사하고 있는 사회복지직과 간호직 공무원을 대상으로 편의 표집 하였다. 자료 수집은 대상자에게 연구목적을 직접 설명한 후 동의를 거쳐 구조화된 설문지에 각자 기입하도록 하였다. 수집된 총 252부의 질문지 중 불성실한 답변을 제외한 245부(사회복지직 124부, 간호직 121부)를 최종분석에 사용하였다. 자료수집은 2008년 12월부터 2009년 1월 사이에 이루어졌다. 측정도구인 에이즈 지식 및 HIV/AIDS 환자(감염인)에 대한 태도 문항은 많은 선행연구에서 인용되고 있는 Herek(2002, 2007)과 Carey & Schroder(2002), 국내 연구 중에는 질병관리본부(2007)의 조사 문항들을 토대로 구성하였다. 결과: 첫째, 대상자의 지식정도의 정답률은 85.9%로 나타났으며 사회복지직 공무원의 지식정도가 간호직보다 낮게 나타났다. 둘째, 통계적으로 유의미 하지 않지만 간호직 공무원의 태도가 사회복지직 보다 에이즈환자에 대해 긍정적 태도를 보여주었다. 셋째, 대상자의 에이즈에 대한 태도는 지식의 정도와 에이즈에 대한 교육경험 유무에 따라 하위영역별로 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 넷째, 에이즈에 대한 대상자의 태도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석한 결과, 대상자의 에이즈에 대한 지식이 가장 큰 영향 요인으로 나타났다. 결론: 에이즈에 대한 임상실천가이면서 정책에 영향을 미치는 사회복지직과 간호직 공무원의 에이즈에 대한 지식을 증진시키고 편견을 감소시키기 위한 실천적 교육 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
