목적: 본 연구는 제주지역에 거주하는 암환자의 요구도와 만족도를 파악하기 위한 조사연구이다. 방법: 2009년 7월 13일부터 7월 30일까지 제주대학교 병원에 내원한 암환자 174명의 의료서비스에 대한 요구도와 만족도를 분석하였다. 보건복지부에서 재가암환자 관리사업 시행 시 제시한 서비스 요구도 및 충족도 조사 항목을 이용하여 조사하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 12.0 for Windows program을 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과: 대상자는 위암과 대장직장암 등 위장관계 암환자가 33.3%로 가장 많았으며, 52.3%가 진단 후 경과 기간이 1년 이하였으며, 진단 후 5년 이상 경과한 대상자는 5.2%로, 최장기간은 12년이었다. 전체의 60.9%가 암으로 인한 수술 경험이 있었으며, 28.2%가 항암화학요법 경험이 있었다. 요구도가 가장 높았던 항목은 경제적지원(3.38점)이었으며, 치료 계획에 대한 상담(3.22점), 질병에 대한 정보(3.07점), 암 이외의 다른 질병 관리(2.97점) 순이었다. 만족도가 가장 높았던 항목은 종교상담(3.41점)이었으며, 간병보조(3.39점), 직업상담(3.26점), 가족 및 대인관계 상담(3.26점), 물리치료 및 재활치료(3.20점), 보험 상담(3.18점) 순이었으며, 만족도가 가장 낮은 항목은 경제적 지원(1.98점)이었다. 남성의 서비스 만족도는 3.1점으로 여성(2.8점)보다 높았으며, 자녀와 사는 경우 서비스 요구도가 가장 높았으며, 홀로 살거나 자녀와 사는 경우 서비스 만족도가 가장 낮았다. 의료보호 환자 및 암보험에 가입하지 않은 경우 서비스 요구도가 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 대상자의 연령, 직업, 학력수준, 결혼여부, 종교, 수입에 따른 차이는 없었으나, 60대 및 수입이 높은 그룹에서 서비스 만족도는 가장 높고, 요구도는 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 의학적 진단 및 치료 방법에 따른 서비스 요구도 및 만족도의 차이는 없었으나, 갑상샘암 환자에서 서비스 만족도가 다소 낮았으며, 방사선 치료 및 색전술을 받은 경우 만족도가 다소 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 암환자들은 경제적 지원 및 치료계획이나 질병에 대한 정보를 얻고자 하는 요구도가 높으며, 실제 경험하는 증상에 대한 관리는 잘 이루어지지 않는 것으로 보인다. 또한, 환자의 지지체계 및 경제적 지원 체계의 확보 여부에 따라 의료서비스에 대한 요구도도 다양하고, 주요 5대암 이외의 암환자에 대한 지원이 다소 부족한 것으로 보인다. 따라서, 의료기관에 내원 중인 암환자 및 재가암환자 모두를 대상으로, 대상자 특성 및 요구도를 고려한 지속적인 정책적 노력이 필요할 것이다.
The writers have conducted the investigation to assess the nutritional status of young rural Korean children aged from 0 to 4 years old in August 1971. The survey areas were Kaejong-myon. Daeya-myon, Okku-gun, Jeonra-bukdo, Korea. These survey areas were typical agricultural plain areas. The total numbers of children examined were 2,706 comprising 1,394 male and 1,312 female. The weight, height, and chest circumference of children were measured and means and standard deviations. were calculated for each measurement. In addition, the nutritional status of each child was classified by the four levels of malnutrition and the Gomez classification, The examination of red blood cell count, haematocrit value, and intestinal parasite infection were carried out at the same time. In general, recent work tend to suggest that environmental influences, especially nutrition, are of great importance than genetic background or other biological factors for physical growth and development. Certainly the physical dimensions of the body are much influenced by nutrition, particularly in the rapidly growing period of early childhood. Selected body measurements can therefore give valuable information concerning protein-calory malnutrition. Growth can also be affected by bacterial, viral, and parasitic infection. For the field workers in a developing country, therefore, nutritional anthropometry appears to be of greatest value in the assessment of growth failure and undernutrition, principally from lack of protein and calories. In order to compare and evaluate the data obtained, the optimal data of growth from the off-spring of the true well-fed, medically and socially protected are needed. So-called 'Standards' that have been compiled for preschool children in Korea, however, are based on measurement of children from middle or lower socio-economic groups, who are, in fact, usually undernourished from six months of age onwards and continuously exposed to a succession of infective and parasitic diseases. So that, the Harvard Standards which is one of the international reference standards was used as the reference standards in this study. Findings of the survey were as follows: A. Anthropometric data: 1) Comparing the mean values for body weight obtained with the Korean standard weight of the same age, the rural Korean children were slightly haevier than the Korean standard values in both sexes. Comparing with the Japanese children values, the rural Korean children were slightly haevier in male and in the infant period of female but lighter in female of the period of 1 to 4 years old than Japanese children. 2) Comparing the mean values for height obtained with the Korean standard height of the same age, the rural Korean children were taller than the Korean standard values except the second half of infatn period in both sexes. Comparing with the Japanese children, the rural Korean children were slightly smaller than Japanese children except the first half of infant peroid in both sexes. 3) Mear values of chest circumference of rural Korean children obtained were less than the Korean standard values of the same ages in both sexes. B. Prevalence of Protein-Calory Malnutrition: Children examined were devided into two groups, i. e., infant(up to the first birthday) and toddler (1 to 4 fears old). 1) Percentages of four levels of malnutrition: a) When the nutrtional status of each child was classified (1) by body weight value, the percentages for male and female of children attained standard growth were 52.8%(infant 83.3%, toddler 44.4%) and 39.7% (infant 74.5%. toddler 30.5%), the first level of malnutrition were 31.9%(infant 13.7%, toddler 36.9%) and 31.7%(infant 15.3%, toddler 36,0%), the second level of malnutrition were 12.3%(infant 1.7%, toddler 15.3%) and 23.3% (infant 7.7%, fodder 27.5%), the third level of malnutrition were 2.7%(infant 0.7%, toddler 3.2%) and 4.6%(infant 1.8%, toddler 5.3%) the fourth level of malnutrition were 0.3% (infant 0.7%, toddler 0.2%) and 0.7% (0.7% for infant and toddler) respectively. (2) by height value, the percentages for male and female of children attained standard growth were 80.3% (infant 97.3%, toddler 75.6%) and 75.1% (infant 96.4%, toddler 69.5), the first level of malnutrition were 17.9% (infant 2.0%, toddler 22.3%) and 23.6% (infants 3.6%, toddler 28.8%), the second level of malnutrition were 1.2% (infant 0.3%, toddler 1.5%) and 1.1% (infant 0%, toddler 1.4%), the third level of malnutrition were 0.4%(infant 0.3%, toddler 0.5%) and 0.2%(infant 0%, toddler 0.3%), the fourth level of malnutrition were 0.1%(infant 0%, toddler 0.1%) and 0% respectively. (3) by body weight in relation to height, the percentages for male and female of children attained standard growth were 87.9% (infant 77.6%, toddler 87.9%) and 78.2% (infant 77.4%, toddler 78.2%), the first level of malnutrition were 12.2% (infant 18.4%, toddler 10.6%) and 18.2% (infant 17.9%, toddler 18.3%), the second level of malnutrition were 1.9%(infant 3.3%, toddler 1.5%) and 3.0%(infant 3.3%, toddler 2.9%), the third level of malnutrition were 0.1%(infant 0%. toddler 0.1%) and 0.5% (infant 0%, toddler 0.6%), the fourth level of malnutrition were 0.1%(infant 0.7%, toddler 0%) and 0.3% (infant 1.5%, toddler 0%) respectively. b) When the nutritional status of each child according to the mother's age at perturition, i. e., young aged mother (up to 30 years old), middle aged mother (31 to 40 years old) and old aged mother (41 years or above) was classified (1) by body weight, among infants and toddlers, at each year of age, with increasing the mother's age, there was an increase in percentage of subjects underweight. This tendency of increasing percentage of underweight was more significant in the infant period than the toddler period. (2) by height value, no significant differences between each mother's age group were found. c) When the nutritional status of each child according to the birth rank, i. e., lower birth rank (first to third) and higher birth rank (fourth or above) was classified (1) by weight value, children of higher birth rank were slightly more often underweight than those of lower birth rank, but not significant. (2) by height value, no differences were found between children of lower and higher birth rank. 2) Gomez Classification: When the nutritional status of each child was classified a) by body weight value, the percentages for male and female of children. attained standard growth were 53.1% (infant 82.6%, toddler 44.9%) and 39.2% (infant 73.4%, toddler 30.1%), the first degree of malnutrition were 39.4% (infant 14.7%, toddler 46.2%) and 47.1% (infant 21.9%, toddler 53.8%), the second degree of malnutrition were 7.3%(infant 2.3%, toddler 8.6%) and 12.9% (infant 4.0%, toddler 15.2%). and the third degree of malnutrition were 0.2%. (infant 0.3%, toddler 0.2%) and 0.8% (infant 0.7%, toddler 0.9%) respectively. b) by height value, the percentages for male and female of children attained standard growth were 80.8% (infant 97.0%, toddler 76.3%) and 73.8%(infant 95.6%, toddler 68.0%), the first degree of malnutrition were 18.5% (infant 2.7%, toddler 22.9%) and 24.6% (infant 4.4%, toddler 30.0%), the second degree of malnutrition were 0.6%(infant 0.3%, toddler 0.7%) and 0.5% (infant 0.1%, toddler 0.7%), and the third degree of malnutrition were 0.1%(infant 0%, toddler 0.1%) and 1.1% (infant 0%, toddler 1.3%) respectively. C. Results of clinical laboratory examination: 1) Red blood cells: The ranges of mean red blood cell counts for male and female were
