Purpose: The purpose of this longitudinal study was to identify the relationship between the readiness for hospital discharge and self-care changes in an early stage of liver transplantation after discharge. Methods: Data of 75 liver transplant recipients within one year of surgery from a transplantation center from May 2019 to May 2020 were collected for this study. Their readiness for discharge was measured before discharge. Self-care after liver transplantation was evaluated at one week, one month, and three months of discharge at outpatient visits. Linear mixed model was used to evaluate the statistical relationship. Results: The readiness for hospital discharge was significantly higher when the caregiver was a spouse (p=.027), with fewer post-transplantation days (p=.027), absence of acute rejection (p=.004), or high self-efficacy (p<.001). As a result of the linear mixed model analysis, the higher the discharge readiness score, the higher the self-care score (β=0.29, p<.001). However, after three months, their self-care had decreased regardless of their level of readiness for hospital discharge compared to one week after discharge. Conclusion: Improving the readiness before discharge is essential to enhance self-care. Also, active intervention at 3 months of discharge should be performed to check and promote their long-term self-care.

본 연구는 미혼남녀를 대상으로 부모역할 인식과 교육요구도 및 준비도를 파악하여 예비부모교육 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자 시도되었다. 연구대상자는 K도의 미혼남녀 196명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료수집은 2018년 11월 1일~ 20일까지였고, 자료분석은 IBM SPSS WIN/21.0을 이용하여 빈도와 백분율, 평균, 표준편차, t-test, ANOVA, sheffe-test, paired t-test, IPA matrix 를 사용하였다. 분석결과, 대상자의 사회적 부모역할 인식은 평균 $3.41{\pm}0.27$점(5점 만점)이었다. 교육요구도는 평균 $3.48{\pm}0.41$점(4점 만점)이었고, 역할준비도는 평균 $2.65{\pm}0.57$점(4점 만점)으로, 교육요구도가 역할준비도보다 높았다. IPA matrix 로 분석한 결과, 강화해야 할 부분은 '가족관계나 부모역할'이었으며, 이 영역을 위해 투입될 노력을 다른 영역에 투입하도록 권장하는 영역은 '자기이해'로 나타났다. 더 이상의 노력 투입이 불필요하며 앞으로 개선을 요하는 영역은 '배우자의 선택 및 결혼'이었으며, 향후 집중적으로 개선해야 할 영역은 '임신과 출산' 그리고 '자녀양육' 영역으로 나타났다. 따라서 요구도와 준비도가 높은 A 영역은 계속적으로 잘 유지할 수 있는 표준화된 전략을 수립할 필요성이 있으며, 요구도와 준비도가 낮은 C 영역을 더 이상의 노력투입이 불필요한 영역으로 받아들일 것이 아니라, 준비도를 끌어올리기 위한 전략과 대책이 필요하다고 본다.

제조성숙도평가(Manufacturing Readiness Assessment, MRA)는 제조 준비상태를 평가하는 방법으로 체계, 부체계의 개발 및 양산에서 발생할 수 있는 일정지연, 비용 상승, 품질 저하 등을 방지하지 위해서 2012년에 제도화되었다. 제조성숙도 평가는 군수품의 양산단계의 제조상 위험성을 사전에 식별하여 관리한 결과, 군수품의 품질수준이 개선되는 등 긍정적인 효과가 있었으나 실제 수행 시 피평가자가 평가항목에 대해 맞춤형으로 준비를 하면서 평가점수가 점차적으로 높아지는 등 준비상태 점검이라는 본래의 목적과는 달리 점수만 상승하는 평가점수 인플레 현상이 심화되는 문제점이 식별되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 극복하고 과거 업체의 MRA 평가항목 이력을 반영하기 위해 HOM8, 평가항목 난이도를 반영하기 위한 DOM8, 평가항목의 중요도 및 사업별 특성을 고려한 ICOM8과 M8RA를 각각 정의하여 네가지 지표 가중치를 적용한 MWV(Manufacturing Readiness Level 8 Weighted Value)을 정의한 정량적인 MRA 평가모델을 제안한다. 제안된 모델을 통해 기존에 실시된 4개 사업에 대한 평가항목 간 MWV를 계산하였으며, 이를 통해 제안된 MRL 8 평가 방법론의 개선결과를 분석하였다.

In this study, the effective technology readiness assessment (TRA) method for system development project is suggested. We analyze the domestic and foreign TRA practice and derive the new idea to resolve the problems found from the analysis. Domestic and foreign organizations develop and use checklist for the precise TRA, but the checklist has some problems in type of questions and analysis of assessment. TRA method using the original TRL definition or the checklist should be selected depending on the project characteristic. Questions of the checklist should be classified into critical or non-critical according to their importance. Finally, Test and evaluation master plan (TEMP) in system engineering process can provide an obvious criteria to assess technology readiness level (TRL) of critical technology elements (CTE) composing the system.
