Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the educational needs of virtual reality simulations that can be applied to novice nurses during the waiting period before starting work in a hospital. Methods: A convergent mixed methods was used. The survey data were collected from 230 novice nurses, and a focus group interview was conducted with 6 new nurses. The data were collected from November 2022 to January 2023. Descriptive statistics, a frequency analysis, independent t-test, and an Importance-Performance Analysis were performed using SPSS 24.0. Results: Appropriate topics for virtual reality simulation education were indicated to be medications and intravenous injections, which are high priority topics in quantitative and qualitative research. The novice nurses wanted group activity training three to four times a week for two weeks before beginning work in a hospital. They also wanted an immersive virtual reality system based on a real hospital environment. Conclusion: Based on the above results, this study provides basic data for the development of a virtual reality simulation education that can improve the adaptation of novice nurses to clinical practice. A strategy was suggested to utilize the waiting time before beginning work in a hospital as educational time.

Extended reality (XR) provides an immersive virtual experience by using various media. The XR virtual environment enables interactions between the real and virtual worlds in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality scenarios. XR is being used in various areas such as industry, medical care, road transportation, gaming, education, and culture. XR and multimedia enhancement are important business scenarios for fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks. As users' demand for emerging media services gradually increases, enhancements in networks should be implemented for delivering multimedia services such as XR. We describe related standardization trends and requirements of the XR service in 5G mobile networks. We also discuss technological enhancements for 5G mobile networks as specified by the 3GPP SA2 working group.

본 논문에서는 각종 단층 촬영 의료영상 장비로 촬영한 2차원 단면화상 데이터들을 차원 재구성 알고리즘을 사용하여 3차원 영상으로 재구성한 다음, 웹 서버의 데이터베이스에 저장하고 관리하며, 인터넷 가상현실 표준언어인 VRML(Virtual Reality Modeling Language)로 표현된 3차원 의료영상을 비롯한 각종 의료영상 정보를 웹브라우저를 사용하여 검색해 볼 수 있는 의료영상정보시스템(Medical Image Information System)에 관하여 기술한다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발한 의료영상정보시스템에서는 단층 촬영된 2차원 단면화상을 처리한 다음, 3차원 의료 영상을 생성하기 위하여 표면기반 랜더링 방법(Surface-based Rendering Method)을 사용하였다. 인터넷을 통하여 전송되는 영상파일의 크기를 줄이기 위하여 삼각형 매쉬(Triangle Meshes)을 이루는 다각형의 개수를 줄이는 알고리즘을 사용하며, 3차원 의료영상 데이터의 크기를 약 50%이상 줄일 수 있다. 아울러, 3차원 영상 데이터 파일을 압축을 하게 되면 파일의 크기를 80%이상 줄일 수 가 있으므로 웹상에서 신속하게 3차원 의료영상 데이터를 검색할 수 있고, 의료영상을 VRML을 사용하여 표현하므로 고성능의 그래픽 카드가 없는 일반 PC에서도 인터넷을 통하여 디스플레이 할 수 있다. 또한, CGI(Common Gateway Interface)방식을 사용하여 서버의 데이터베이스에 저장되어 있는 CT(Computerized Tomography), MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging), PET(Positron Emission Tomography), SPECT(Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography)등의 단층 촬영 장비로 촬영한 다양한 종류의 디지털 의료영상을 사용자에게 의료영상정보시스템을 통하여 2차원 단면화상 또는 3차원 영상으로 표현하여 보여주고, 환자에 관한 각종 정보와 진단정보 등을 신속하게 제공한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 의료영상정보시스템은 초고속 정보통신 망을 통하여 원격의료시스템을 구축하는데 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic made it necessary for medical schools to restructure their curriculum by switching from face-to-face instruction to various forms of flexible learning. Flexible learning is a student-centered approach to learning that has received interest in many educational sectors. It is a critical strategy for expanding access to higher education during the pandemic. As flexible learning includes online, blended, hybrid, and hyflex learning options, learners have the opportunity to select an instruction modality based on their needs and interests. The shift to flexible learning in medical education took place rapidly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and learners, instructors, and schools were not prepared for this instructional change. Through the lens of the technology acceptance model, human agency, and a social constructivist perspective, I examine students, instructors, and educational institutions' roles in successfully navigating the digital transformation era. The pandemic has also accelerated the use of advanced information and communication technologies, such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, in learning. Through a review of the literature, this paper aimed to reflect on current flexible learning practices from the instructional design and educational technology perspective and explore emerging technologies that may be implemented in future medical education.

우리나라 법제는 비의료인에 의한 의료행위를 엄격히 금지하고 있는데, 문신시술의 경우 의료행위로 분류되어 비의료인이 문신시술시 무면허의료행위로 처벌받게 된다. 그런데, 현실적으로 문신시술을 의료인에게 받는 경우가 매우 드물고, 문신시술을 업으로 하고 있는 비의료인들은 직업선택의 자유 침해 등을 주장하며 비의료인에 의한 문신시술의 의료행위성을 부정하고 비범죄화할 것을 요구하고 있다. 그런데 문신시술은 바늘 등을 사용하여 이루어지기 때문에 신체에 대한 침습이 있어 의료인이 행하지 않으면 보건위생상 위해가 발생할 수 있는 행위로 볼 수 있고 감염 예방 등을 위해 엄격한 관리가 필요하다. 그러나 이러한 현실적인 부분과 법제와의 괴리를 고려할 때, 보건의료적 관점에서 안전성을 고려하면서도, 사실상 의료인에 의해 행해지는 문신시술이 많지 않은 현실을 고려하여 비의료인에 의한 문신시술을 제도화하는 방안 등에 대해 전향적으로 생각을 해 볼 필요가 있다. 본고는 이러한 관점에서 문신시술이 의료행위에 해당하는지 법제를 검토하고, 보건의료적 관점에서 문제가 된다면 이를 해결하기 위한 방안을 모색하여 현실을 반영하면서도 안전성을 도모할 수 있는 대안으로 3단계로 나누어 단계화된 접근을 제시하였다.

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, virtual reality, a technology that has recently attracted attention, is emerging as a core technology that will lead the future industry by changing the paradigm of various industries. The development of 3D rendering, computer graphics, and mobile technologies enabled the development of various smart devices and led to the popularization of virtual reality services using them. Recently, with the development of virtual reality-related technology, various devices and contents such as VR-related HMDs are being developed and released. However, since the classification for VR technology has not yet been established, it is difficult to define a range of industries and services to which VR can be applied. Therefore, in this study proposes a service classification system in terms of industries that can apply VR technology and services that can be provided based on the studies on industries and services of VR technology related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. VR's industrial classification consists of eight industries including entertainment, media, education, medical care, architecture, manufacturing, distribution, tourism and each service is divided into two service categories and composed 16 services. Through the collection and analysis of virtual reality service cases, the service distribution and characteristics of each industry can be analyzed. In addition, we can develop a virtual reality new business model and present a service case for the intersecting areas. This study is expected to be used as a basic research for the activation of virtual reality services in the future.

With the advancement in modern information technology, virtual reality (VR) is being increasingly used for the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of mental disorders. Recently, a VR-based cognitive behavioral therapy for social phobia has been recognized as a new medical technology in South Korea. This might lead to an increase in the use of VR in the field of psychiatry. The present review provides an overview of the status of VR therapies in various psychiatric conditions such as anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychosis, addiction, and eating disorder. Besides, it summarizes the role of VR therapy in the management of disorders associated with child and adolescence psychiatry as well as various other clinical applications. Additionally, we discuss the merits and limitations of VR therapy, which might serve as a useful reference for researchers. In the current environment wherein novel medical models consisting of a combination of digital devices and medicine are being developed; understanding new technologies such as VR could open new doors to mental health treatments.
