Purpose: Ethiopia is one of the sub-Saharan countries most affected by high maternal and infant mortality. The government has trained health extension workers (HEWs), the community health workers, to deliver preventive and basic curative health services to community residents in Ethiopia. Very few studies have investigated on-the-job educational effects for HEWs on improvement of their knowledge and performance confidence in maternal and child health care (MCH). This study aimed at identifying the educational effects for HEWs in one health center in Tigray, Ethiopia on improvement of their knowledge in MCH. Methods: Twelve HEWs from 6 health posts participated in this study. A health center officer provided a total of 5 educational sessions on antenatal and postnatal care, family planning, and newborn care from August, 2012 to April, 2013. Ten to 12 items regarding the topics were tested before and after each education. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to analyze the data. Results: All the HEWs were female with average 4-year working experience. Their knowledge significantly increased after education, except the first session. Their satisfaction on education was greater than 45 points out of 50. Conclusion: This study suggests a focused education for HEWs should continue to improve their capacity on MCH.

생활수준과 교육수준이 매우 낮은 저개발국가에서의 임신분만 환경을 알아보고 건강관련 행위 실천(산전진찰, 시설분만, 제대기구소독)과 지식과 태도와의 관계를 알아보기 위하여 네팔 돌카 마을에서 지난 1년간(1994년 4월 13일$\sim$1995년 4월 12일)출산한 경험이 있는 산모를 대상으로 일반적 특성, 임신과 분만에 관련된 지식, 태도, 산전진찰률, 분만환경 등을 조사하였다. 이 지역의 임신과 분만에 관련된 지식수준은 낮은 편으로 대상자의 87.5%가 보건교육을 받은 경험이 없었다. 대상자의 29.6%는 임신시 흡연이 태아에 해가 없다고 하였으며, 42.8%는 임신시 음주와 약의 복용이 태아에 해가 없다고 답하였고, 17.1%가 제대절단시 소독하지 않은 기구를 사용해도 유해하지 않다고 응답하였는데, 교육을 받은 적이 없는 경우, 보건교육을 받은 경험이 없는 경우, 그리고 보건기관까지의 거리가 멀 수록 올바르지 못한 지식을 가지고 있었다. 응답자의 56.6%가 산전진찰이 필요없다는 태도를 보였고, 42.8%가 질출혈시 병원을 방문할 필요가 없다는 태도를 보였는데, 교육을 받은 적이 없는 경우, 보건 교육을 받은 경험이 없는 경우, 그리고 보건기관까지의 거리가 멀수록 바람직하지 못한 태도를 가지고 있었다. 또한 82.9%가 분만과정 자체가 불결한 것이라고 여기고 있었다. 한번이라도 산전진찰을 받은 경험이 있는 산전진찰 경험률은 28.3%였는데 교육을 받은 적이 없는 경우, 보건교육을 받은 경험이 없는 경우에 산전진찰 미경험률이 높았다. 시설분만율은 5.3%로 매우 저조하였고, 시설 외 분만인 경우 82.6%가 제대절단기구를 소독하지 않고 사용하고 있었는데 교육을 받은 적이 없는 경우, 보건교육을 받은 경험이 없는 경우, 그리고 보건기관까지의 거리가 멀수록 소독을 하지 않고 사용하고 있었다. 지식과 태도와의 관계에 있어서는 지식이 많은 군이 산전진찰의 필요성을 더 느끼며 질출혈시 병원방문의 필요성을 더 느끼고 있어, 임신과 분만에 관련하여 더 바람직한 태도를 가지고 있었다. 태도와 실천과의 관계에 있어서는 바람직한 태도를 가진 산모군이 산전진찰 경험률이 높았으며, 시설분만이 많아 실천율이 높았다. 다변량 분석에서도 지식이 태도에 양(陽)의 영향을 미치는 변수였으며, 태도는 실천에 영향을 미치는 유의한 양(陽)의 변수여서 실천을 위해서는 긍정적인 태도가 선행되어야 하고, 그러기 위하여는 먼저 올바른 지식을 가지고 있어야 함을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 연구결과로 볼 때, 저개발국가에서의 분만환경은 매우 열악한 편으로 모자의 건강수준 향상을 위해서는 예방적 기능으로서 보건교육 활동이 더욱 중요 성을 가지게 된다. 효율적 보건교육활동을 위해서는 보건교육을 보다 긴요하게 요하는 인구군이 어떤 계층이냐 하는 대상파악에 특별히 유념하여야 하는데 주로 교육수준이 낮고 생활이 어려운 인구층, 그리고 보건기관으로부터 멀리 떨어져 있는 사람들에게 중점적으로 교육을 시도하여야 하겠는데 이들 나라는 대부분의 국민이 교육수준이 낮고 생활수준이 낮은 편으로 보건교육시 단순한 지식의 전달에 그칠 것이 아니라 동기 유발을 가져와 행위변화를 할 수 있도록 보다 세밀한 연구노력이 필요하다. 또한 순회진료와 보건교육을 하는 의료캠프가 활성화되어야 하겠다. 향후 저개발국에 의료단을 파견하여 그 지 역의 보건문제 해결에 도움을 주기 위하여는 이와 같은 연구가 계속 진행되어 실천에 영향을 주는 요인들을 밝혀 지역보건의료 프로그램에 적극 활용해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to identify a tendency in patients who seek oriental medical service and factors influencing patient satisfaction. The study was conducted with 1,520 residents of a community during the period from February 5, 2005 through June 30, 2005 using a questionnaire. This study results are summarized as follows : 1. Of subjects who sought oriental medical service, 66.2% had musculoskeletal disorder and connective tissue disease, 18.9% had digestive tract disease, 16.4% had respiratory disease, 8.2% had endocrinemetabolic disease, 7.5% had circulatory disease and the remaining subjects had other diseases(p<0.001). 2. Of subjects who sought oriental medical service for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorder, 84.9% preferred acupuncture. Of those who had digestive tract diseases, 47.0% preferred packaged herbal medicine. Of those who had respiratory disease, 63.0% preferred packaged herbal medicine. 3. Acupuncture was the most often sought by subjects with musculoskeletal disorder. Packaged herbal medicine was sought by subjects with respiratory disease, digestive tract disease, endocrine-metabolic disease or circulatory disease. Tablet-type herbal medicine was sought by subjects with musculoskeletal disorder or digestive tract disease. Combined therapy was sought by subjects with musculoskeletal disorder, digestive tract disease, hematopoietic disease or immune disorder. 4. The level of satisfaction with oriental medical service was higher in subjects with circulatory disease, subjects with digestive tract disease, subjects with neurological disorder and subjects with musculoskeletal disorder in descending order. Of total subjects, 39.4% experienced side effects of oriental medical care, 38.1% experienced side effects of herbal medicine. About 51.9% considered the price of herbal medicine costly while 23.2% considered it reasonable. 5. Subjects' knowledge of herbal medicine was measured as $29.2{\pm}3.83$ out of 42 scores or 69 out of 100 points, indicating a low knowledge level. Subjects' knowledge was influenced by occupation, religion, side effects, sex, age, residence area, the type of insurance. These variables explained 15.2% of the variance. 7. Of total subjects, 56.8% were satisfied with oriental medical service. Patient satisfaction varied with occupation, religion, the type of insurance, health state and treatment outcomes. These variables explained 37.3% of the variance. Conclusion : The majority of subjects were satisfied with oriental medical service. However, oriental medical care are not widely used to treat all kinds of diseases while its use skews to a small categories of diseases. It is therefore necessary for the government and oriental medical service providers to develop new therapy approaches for the treatment of a broader range of diseases.

Stroke patient needs rehabilitation after receiving an acute treatment in a hospital. When stroke patient gets involved in an early discharge program, home care nurse plays a pivotal role to make them to gain a full strength and to come back to his/her prior life before he/she is sick. In spite of the importance of home care nursing intervention protocol for home care nurses to perform home care nursing autonomously, home care nursing intervention protocol for stroke patient is rarely developed. Therefore this study was conducted to develop home care nursing protocol that is applicable for stroke patients in home care nursing area. 41 home care nursing charts for stroke patients registered in home care nursing agencies from December 1st 1994 to August 31st 1999 at Y hospitals in Seoul and Won-Ju city were analyzed. 44 home care nurses who were having over three years' experience on stroke patients were participated in this study as a user validity validation group. The results of this study are as follows. 1. 28 nursing diagnoses were selected on the basis of evaluation of nursing diagnoses of stroke patients presented in a previous literature and case studies on home care nursing. 2. 17 nursing diagnoses were classified through the frequency analysis of home care nursing charts for 41 stroke patients who had received home care nursing. The order of sequence was like these: impaired skin integrity, risk for infection, nutritional deficit, impaired physical mobility, constipation, knowledge deficit, ineffective airway clearance, anxiety in family members, risk for aspiration, self care deficit, altered urinary elimination, ineffective individual coping, social isolation, risk for injury, self-esteem disturbance, impaired verbal communication, fatigue of family caregiver. 3. Based on validation on expert and user validities, 44 nursing interventions which were above ICV=.80 were chosen. 4. Nursing intervention protocols which showed above ICV=.90 were developed and were like these; pressure ulcer care, position change, preventive care for circulatory dysfunction, tube care : catheter, vital sign monitor, constipation/impaction management, artificial airway management, suction of airway secretion, environmental management : safety, and fall prevention.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the current situation of Internet health counseling in Korean Medicine by analyzing the contents and pattern of the questions and answers in NAVER Jisik-iN. Methods : 1,121 questions answered by Korean Medicine doctors in NAVER Jisik-iN from January 2012 to June 2012 were extracted and analyzed. The contents and pattern of the questions and answers were classified. Then statistical analysis was performed and the research findings were compared with other studies. Results : Korean Medicine (KM) accounted for 1.73 percent of health counseling in NAVER Jisik-iN. Analyzing the questions and answers of KM counseling, questions about symptoms and answers providing medical knowledge were most common. The most frequently asked symptom was digestive disorder. Applying to Suchman's "Stage of Illness and Medical Care" model, 'the symptom-experience' stage took the first place. Conclusions : KM counseling in NAVER Jisik-iN has served as guidance for potential Korean Medicine consumers by providing medical knowledge about symptoms. For more effective guidance there should be a systematic Internet counseling system offering reliable information by KM doctors to meet the needs of medical consumers.

Objective : To explore and describe coordinators' experiences in collaborative practices between the traditional Korean medicine doctors and the western medicine doctors. Methods : Five coordinators who agreed and completed the informed consent to take part in this qualitative study were interviewed thoroughly and tape-recorded. Transcribed data were analysed thematically with ground theory. Results : Most participants started their coordinating work without sufficient knowledge and systemic support. They, however, could find their identity as coordinators for collaborative practices through preparing manuals and protocols, providing comprehensive patients care, and experiencing the partnership with doctors. To coordinate Korean medicine and western medicine practices efficiently, participants have tried to enhance their professional knowledge and skills, and establish favorable networks. On the other hand, they were in dilemmas of being a multi-player and imbalance of responsibilities and powers in their jobs. Conclusions : It is recommended to clarify job description of coordinator for collaborative practices, develop training programme, and provide the institutional support for wider recognition of coordinator. Findings from this study should be considered in both Korean medicine-western medicine collaborative research and practice.

This study was an evaluation study of AIDS education program. The purpose of this study was to clarify the education effects on AIDS for health care workers to develop a better next education program. This study was done by self reporting with a 67 items of structured questionnaire by 431 health care workers included doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians, and health educators. Data were collected at the time of completion of each AIDS education with the help of education program manager. Both the AIDS related knowledge score and the acceptance attitudes score were significantly higher in the male group, in the medical institution employer group, in the group who have met the HIV infected person, who has known the HIV positive person, and the group of laboratory technician, but the AIDS prevention intention score was statistically higher in the group of female and laboratory technician group. The post education scores of AIDS related knowledge. acceptance attitudes, and preventive intention were statistically higher than those of the preeducation. The most increased item among AIDS prevention intention list was 'I will provide the meeting between the HIV infected persons and the public (+21.9%)'. But even the decreased item among AIDS prevention intention list was 'I will advice to female not to have extra marital sexual contact to avoid AIDS(-3.1%)'. It could be concluded that the health care workers were ignorant of vertical transmission of AIDS, they were afraid of disclosing the infection status, and have less AIDS prevention intention. Therefore it is needed to take an assessment process before each new education trategy to increase AIDS related the effect of the education on AIDS.
