In this study, literature review was done to examine and compare the current status and problems of different evaluation approaches toward permanent impairment in Korea. Alternatives and improvements in the current approaches in Korea were suggested. Series of cases were also examined to compare different approaches applied to the real cases, using 105 cases from a hospital data and another 207 cases from a insurance company data. The main findings of the literature review are as follows; 1. The current evaluation methods of permanent impairment in Korea are grouped into two categories, grading and rating. Gradings of impairments are expressly specified in 17 various statutes. 2. In Grading methods, the rigid system of 74 different grades has been adopted uniformally for the convenience of administration, which may not be, appropriate or valid from medical and scientifical aspect. 3. The adventage of McBride method is assessment of occupational disability rate. However the classified compensable occupations are only 280 and limited to manufacturing industries in 1960s'of U.S.A., which is not appropriate to current Korean circumstances. Especially, the job list does not include managerial officers or mental workers. 4. AMA Guides is the scientific and reasonable method for the assessment of physical impairment rate. However compensation and reparation of impairment case is difficult because this method cannot assess the disability rate according to occupation, age, etc. The results of cases comparative study are as follows: 5. The physical Impairment could be compared in 167 out of total 312 cases, and for the cases of complex impairment, McBride method underestimate physical impairment rate compared with AM A method. 6. When disability late was assessed, occupation was considered the compensation of only 85 cases, and age was used in only 21 cases. This was because occupation and age compensation in McBride method are unreasonable. 7. The most Ideal alternative is to assess physical impairment according to AMA method and then to develop a compensation method appropriate for the circumstances of Korea society.

연구목적: 교통사고 후 외상의 심각도와 정신과적인 증상들과의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 교통사고 후 장해평가나 감정의 목적으로 1994년부터 2003년까지 입원한 134명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 입원 시 기록과, 정신과적인 증상들, 심리검사로는 MMPI, BAI, BDI, K-WAIS을 평가하였다. 초진기록에 의한 외상심각도를 측정하고 맥브라이드 기준법에 의한 노동능력 상실률도 구하였다. 통계학적으로는 SPSS-10을 이용한 t-test와 Pearson correlation analysis를 시행하였다. 결 과: 외상의 심각도가 심하지 않을 경우에 오히려 자살시도가 더 많았다. 또 우울, 히스테리, 강박증, 및 반사회성척도의 점수가 높았다. 외상이 심하지 않은 경우에 집중력의 장애, 지남력의 장애, 지능의 저하가 더 심했다. 외상의 심각도와 증상을 가장하는 척도간의 관계는 없었다. 결 론: 교통사고 후 사고당시의 외상의 심각도가 정신과적 증상을 심하게 일으키는데 일치하는 것은 아니었다. 오히려 신체적 외상이 심하지 않았던 환자들이 정신의학적 증상이 심각한 경우가 많아서 신체적 손상의 정도에 기준을 두고 정신과적 증상의 평가를 섣불리 예측하는 것을 주의해야 할 것으로 생각된다.
