  • Engineers have developed new instruments that aid in diagnosis and therapy Ultrasonic imaging has provided a nondamaging method of imaging internal organs. A complex transducer emits ultrasonic waves at many angles and reconstructs a map of internal anatomy and also velocities of blood in vessels. Fast computed tomography permits reconstruction of the 3-dimensional anatomy and perfusion of the heart at 20-Hz rates. Positron emission tomography uses certain isotopes that produce positrons that react with electrons to simultaneously emit two gamma rays in opposite directions. It locates the region of origin by using a ring of discrete scintillation detectors, each in electronic coincidence with an opposing detector. In magnetic resonance imaging, the patient is placed in a very strong magnetic field. The precessing of the hydrogen atoms is perturbed by an interrogating field to yield two-dimensional images of soft tissue having exceptional clarity. As an alternative to radiology image processing, film archiving, and retrieval, picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) are being implemented. Images from computed radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, and ultrasound are digitized, transmitted, and stored in computers for retrieval at distributed work stations. In electrical impedance tomography, electrodes are placed around the thorax. 50-kHz current is injected between two electrodes and voltages are measured on all other electrodes. A computer processes the data to yield an image of the resistivity of a 2-dimensional slice of the thorax. During fetal monitoring, a corkscrew electrode is screwed into the fetal scalp to measure the fetal electrocardiogram. Correlations with uterine contractions yield information on the status of the fetus during delivery To measure cardiac output by thermodilution, cold saline is injected into the right atrium. A thermistor in the right pulmonary artery yields temperature measurements, from which we can calculate cardiac output. In impedance cardiography, we measure the changes in electrical impedance as the heart ejects blood into the arteries. Motion artifacts are large, so signal averaging is useful during monitoring. An intraarterial blood gas monitoring system permits monitoring in real time. Light is sent down optical fibers inserted into the radial artery, where it is absorbed by dyes, which reemit the light at a different wavelength. The emitted light travels up optical fibers where an external instrument determines O2, CO2, and pH. Therapeutic devices include the electrosurgical unit. A high-frequency electric arc is drawn between the knife and the tissue. The arc cuts and the heat coagulates, thus preventing blood loss. Hyperthermia has demonstrated antitumor effects in patients in whom all conventional modes of therapy have failed. Methods of raising tumor temperature include focused ultrasound, radio-frequency power through needles, or microwaves. When the heart stops pumping, we use the defibrillator to restore normal pumping. A brief, high-current pulse through the heart synchronizes all cardiac fibers to restore normal rhythm. When the cardiac rhythm is too slow, we implant the cardiac pacemaker. An electrode within the heart stimulates the cardiac muscle to contract at the normal rate. When the cardiac valves are narrowed or leak, we implant an artificial valve. Silicone rubber and Teflon are used for biocompatibility. Artificial hearts powered by pneumatic hoses have been implanted in humans. However, the quality of life gradually degrades, and death ensues. When kidney stones develop, lithotripsy is used. A spark creates a pressure wave, which is focused on the stone and fragments it. The pieces pass out normally. When kidneys fail, the blood is cleansed during hemodialysis. Urea passes through a porous membrane to a dialysate bath to lower its concentration in the blood. The blind are able to read by scanning the Optacon with their fingertips. A camera scans letters and converts them to an array of vibrating pins. The deaf are able to hear using a cochlear implant. A microphone detects sound and divides it into frequency bands. 22 electrodes within the cochlea stimulate the acoustic the acoustic nerve to provide sound patterns. For those who have lost muscle function in the limbs, researchers are implanting electrodes to stimulate the muscle. Sensors in the legs and arms feed back signals to a computer that coordinates the stimulators to provide limb motion. For those with high spinal cord injury, a puff and sip switch can control a computer and permit the disabled person operate the computer and communicate with the outside world.

  • 본 논문의 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 환경부가 1991년부터 매년 조사, 발표하고 있는 "대기오염물질배출량"은 난방, 산업, 수송 및 발전의 4부문으로 분류되어 있어 자료의 활용가치가 매우 낮아 조사 통계 내용의 다양화 및 산업분류기준이 개선되어야 한다. 둘째, 대기오염 대량배출산업은 석탄 석유(s7), 전력 가스(s17), 운송 보관(s20) 산업이다. 이들 산업에 대한 기존의 대기규제정책은 다른 산업에 비해 비효율적이었다고 볼 수 있으며 향후 대기정책에서도 유념하여야 할 사항으로 여겨진다. 셋째, 시멘트 석회 석제(s10), 전력 가스(s17) 산업은 대량의 오염배출산업인 동시에 배출 유발효과도 상대적으로 가장 큰 산업이다. 넷째, 배출량 변화의 가장 큰 감소요인은 배출계수의 변화(${\Delta}f$)이며, 가장 큰 증가요인은 경제성장 효과(${\Delta}y$)였다. 생산 또는 투입기술의 변화(${\Delta}D$), 수요구조의 변화(${\Delta}u$)는 배출량 증감에 미치는 영향이 산업별로 다르게 나타났으나 그 영향은 미미하였다. 다섯째, 대기오염 총량관리제 도입, 고(高)오염산업의 차별관리 및 환경과 경제의 상생을 위한 대기정책의 효율적 시행을 위해서는 산업별 배출량 기본자료의 산정 방법 개선 및 경제적 분석과 평가 기준의 활용, 확대가 필요하다. 여섯째, 1990년대 한국의 경제성장은 1960~1970년대와 같이 배리 코머너 가설에 상응한 오염지향적 경제성장은 아니었으나 산업 전체의 기술 및 수요구조가 환경친화적이라 할 수도 없었다. 이것은 대기환경 개선을 위한 환경정책이 오직 환경당국의 환경정책수단에만 의존했을 뿐이며 국가경제 전체의 산업구조나 친환경 생산기술의 발전 등 범정부적 차원의 환경정책이 병행되지 못했음을 시사한다.

  • 우리나라 양계산업은 일진일보, 발전되어 왔으나 선진국에 비교하면 아직도 미흡한 점이 너무 많다. 현하 국제화로 무역의 자유화가 고조되고 있어 양계생산물도 수입자유화가 멀지 않을 것으로 예상되어 이에 대처한 국제경쟁력을 갖지 않으면 아니 되게 되었다. 그러므로 창의적 연구와 개선으로 생산능력을 극대화하며 생산원가를 절감하고, 상품성을 향상시키는 고도의 과학적 기술과 경영조직체계의 개선이 시급한 과제로 되어 있다. 이에 본 논자는 문교부의 해외파견연구 교수로서 '88년 9월∼'89년 8월까지 1연간 일본에 체재하면서 선진 된 기술과 경영체계를 조사 연구하여 양계산업의 생산성 향상방안을 구명 제시함으로써 국제경쟁력을 가지는 양계산업으로 발전시키고자 하는 목적과 취지에서 본 논문을 쓰는 바이다. (1) 일본의 양계산업은 거의 전업화, 기업으로 통합경영, 계열화, 협업경영으로 상업적경 영에서 공업적 집중형 양계로 발전되어 국제경쟁력을 갖추고 있었다. (2) 사육농가호수는 '60년에 3,839천호에서 '88년에 102천호로 감소추세이며 전업화, 기업화 되고있다. (3) 사육수수는 '60년에 54,627천수에서 '65년에 114,222 천수로 수적증대를 하였으며 '88년도에는 총 179.396천수중 성계수가 138.459천수로 인구수를 상회하여 사육되며, 국민 1인당 307개의 난을 소비하고 있다. (4) 사육규모는 1만수이상의 사육농가가 3.2%로서 77.6%의 사육수수를 가지며, 앞으로 사육농가수는 감소하고 더욱 규모가 확대될 것으로 예상된다. (5) 경영형태는 전업화, 통합양계, 복합양계, 상사양계로 되며 계약생산, 계열화로 협동화와 상사경영 형태로 되어가고 있다. (6) 난가는 난가안정기금이 적립되어 경영의 안정화를 도모하고 있으며 육계는 거의 계약, 계열화가 되어 안정된 경영을 하고 있다. (7) 조계구조는 개인업체는 유한회사, 농사조합법인체, 주식회사로 되어 있으며, 서로 협력, 협동하는 조직 단체를 만들어 공생, 공존, 공영, 공익의 경제행위를 하고 있다. (8) 생산능력을 제고시키는 방법으로 생존율이 입추하여 산란, 도태까지 최고 97.5%의 잔존율을 보이며, 90%이상이었다. (9) 산란량은 1월 1수당 평균 48∼50 g이며, 최고 54 g의 생산능력을 높이고 있다. (10) 사료요구율은 최고 1.99이며, 평균 2.1∼2.3정도이었다. (11) 파난, 격외난 감소로 상품성을 향상시키는데 주력하고 있으며, 파난율이 최고 0.7%이며 평균 1.5%이하이었다. (12) 방역위생 대책은 명책공히 철저하였으며, 그러하므로 생존율이 97.5%까지 되고있는 것이었으며, 평균 90%정도이었다. (13) 환경관리의 개선은 시설환경여건을 고려하여 최대한 쾌적한 환경과 안정된 여건을 부여하도록 노력하고 있었다. (14) 영양비관리와 사양은 가장 과학적이고, 경제적인 방법을 연구하여 자기실정에 맞는 사양관리를 하고 있으며, 특수난도 생산하고 있었다. (15) 계획성 있는 생산체계로 경영과 운영의 합리화를 기하도록 계획성 있는 실천을 하고 있었다. (16) 생산비절감을 위하여 업체간의 비교분석을 하여 자체 개선점을 모색하고 있었다. (17) 사료비절감은 생산비의 60∼70%를 차지하고 있으므로 공동구인 자가배합을 하여 자기실정에 맞는 경영체질로 운영하고 있었다. (18) 인건비가 생산비의 15∼20%의 비율이며 또한 사람 구득난이라 가족노동을 최대한 활용, 관리를 하고 있으며 생력화를 위해 기계화, 자동화되어 가고 있었다. 애정과 정성심있는 관리로 닭을 스트레스를 주지 않게 하기 위해 가족관이, 기계자동화가 중요한 역할을 하고 있었다. (19) 시설기구와 육성상각비를 줄이기 위해 관리자의 변동이 없고, 종신직장으로서 긍지와 자부심을 가지고 늑무하고 있었다. 이는 사업경영과 발전에 원동역이 되고 있으며 창의적 연구와 노력 및 책임 있는 관리자세는 높이 평가될 만한 점이다. (20) 기지 제비용도 가족과 같이 종신직장인의 정신으로 사업을 발전시키고자 노력하고 있기 때문에 합심 협력하여 절약하고 아끼고 있었다. (21) 생산물의 부가가치 향상과 유리한 판매를 위해 자체 GP센터, 가공공장, 처리시설을 갖추어 복합, 수직경영을 하고 있었다. 또한 계약판매, 계약생산도 하고 있었다. (22) 유통체계는 직매 또는 소매점에 직거래를 많이 하고 있으며, 계약공급으로 하는 데에는 다원화되어 있으며, 신용거래를 하고 있었다. 또 한편 기업종합상사가 유통 수급판매에 참여하여 가격에 안정과 품질을 개선하는데 기여하고 있었다. (23) 중량별, 등급 규격별로 포장되어 위생적이고, 신선도를 유지시켜 판매되고 있다. 파난과 실격난은 시판되지 않고 액난으로 하여 가공용으로 전부 이용되고 있다. (24) GP센터에는 냉장실, 냉동실을 갖추어 보관관리가 잘 되어 있으며, 위생적 처리와 손실양을 극소화하고 있었다. (25) 폐계 및 사계는 부산물공장에서 처리하며, 노계는 육가공장, 애완동물의 사료로 이용되고 있다. (26) 계분은 건조, 발효처리하여 고급특수비료를 제조하고 있으며 공해, 환경오염을 철저히 방지하고 있었다. (27) 육계는 계열주체가 계약 위탁 사육하여 전량판매를 담당하고 있으며 위탁도계는 볼 수가 없었다. (28) 기호성과 소비확대를 위해 특수난 즉, 옥도난, 영양난, 자연난, 유정난, 지계란 등으로 고가로 판매되고 있었다. 그리하여 식생활에 계란의 소비가 확대 이용되고 애용되고 있다. (29) 경영조직체계는 전문분업화되고, 한편 소규모양계는 농협조직을 활용한 집단, 단지양계를 하며 규모가 큰 것은 통합, 복합양계, 대기업은 상사양계로 경영하고 있었다. 그리하여 합심협력하여 경영개선을 도모하고 있다. (30) 지역별, 뜻을 같이하는 사람이 단체, 협회, 연구소를 조직하여 기술과 정보를 입수하여 대처하고 개선에 노력하고 있다. (31) 일본양계업은 수입자유화에 대처하여 국제경쟁력을 가지며, 복합, 수직통합 경영으로 생업을 발전 유지하고자 기술적, 경영면에 총력을 기울이고 있다. 이상 일본에서 조사 견이한 것을 편견이 될지 모르나 보고하며 논술하는 바이다. 요는 국제화시대에 대처하여 경쟁력을 가지는 양계산업으로 발전시키자면 고도의 과학적인 사양관리 기술로 생산능력을 극대화시키며, 나아가 생산비를 절감하여 원가를 싸게 생산하는 동시, 품질을 개선하여 상품성을 제고시켜 판매수입을 증가시키며, 부가가치를 향상시켜 소득을 증대로, 종합양계업의 생산성 제고에 있다고 사료된다. 여기에 재강조하여 첨언할 것은 관리자나 경영자의 정신적 자세가 기본이 되는 것으로 부단한 창의적 연구와 노력이 있어야 하며, 국제경쟁에 대처하여 양계업을 유지 발전시키고자 하는 필사적 노력과 개선 실천하는 정신자세가 필수적 요건이 된다고 사료된다.

  • This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However, $85{\sim}90%$ of the services provided by the health workers were other than FP/MCH, mainly for immunizations such as the encephalitis campaign. In the control area, a similar pattern was observed. Over 75% of their service was other than FP/MCH. Therefore, the pattern shows the health workers are a long way from becoming multipurpose workers even though the government is pushing in this direction. 3. Villagers were much more likely to visit the health sub-center clinic in the study area than in the control area (58% vs.31%) and for more combined care (45% vs.23%). C) Organization factors (admistrative integrative issues) 1. When MW (new workers with higher qualification) were introduced to HSC, it was noted that there were conflicts between the existing HSC workers (Nurse aids with less qualification than MW) and the MW for the beginning period of the project. The cause of the conflict was studied by an anthropologist and it was pointed out that these functional integration problems stemmed from the structural inadequacies of the health subcenter organization as indicated below; i) There is still no general consensus about the objectives and goals of the project between the project staff and the existing health workers. ii) There is no formal linkage between the responsibility of each member's job in the health sub-center. iii) There is still little chance for midwives to play a catalytic role or to establish communicative networks between workers in order to link various knowledge and skills to provide better FP/MCH services in the health sub-center. 2. Based on the above findings the project recommended to the County Chief (who has power to control the administrative staff and the technical staff in his county) the following ; i) In order to solve the conflicts between the individual roles and functions in performing health care activities, there must be goals agreed upon by both. ii) The health sub·center must function as an autonomous organization to undertake the integration health project. In order to do that, it is necessary to support administrative considerations, and to establish a communication system for supervision and to control of the health sub-centers. iii) The administrative organization, tentatively, must be organized to bind the health worker's midwive's and director's jobs by an organic relationship in order to achieve the integrative system under the leadership of health sub-center director. After submitting this observation report, there has been better understanding from frequent meetings & communication between HW/MW in FP/MCH work as the program developed. Lessons learned from the Seosan Project (on issues of FP/MCH integration in Korea); 1) A majority or about 80% of the couples are now practicing FP. As indicated by the study, there is a growing demand from clients for the health system to provide more MCH services than FP in order to maintain the achieved small size of family through FP practice. It is fortunate to see that the government is now formulating a MCH policy for the year 2,000 and revising MCH laws and regulations to emphasize more MCH care for achieving a small size family through family planning practice. 2) Goal consensus in FP/MCH shouBd be made among the health workers It administrators, especially to emphasize the need of care of 'wanted' child. But there is a long way to go to realize the 'real' integration of FP into MCH in Korea, unless there is a structural integration FP/MCH because a categorical FP is still first priority to reduce the rate of population growth for economic reasons but not yet for health/welfare reasons in practice. 3) There should be more financial allocation: (i) a midwife should be made available to help to promote the MCH program and coordinate services, (in) there should be a health sub·center director who can provide leadership training for managing the integrated program. There is a need for 'organizational support', if the decision of integration is made to obtain benefit from both FP & MCH. In other words, costs should be paid equally to both FP/MCH. The integration slogan itself, without the commitment of paying such costs, is powerless to advocate it. 4) Need of management training for middle level health personnel is more acute as the Government has already constructed 90 MCH centers attached to the County Health Center but without adequate manpower, facilities, and guidelines for integrating the work of both FP and MCH. 5) The local government still considers these MCH centers only as delivery centers to take care only of those visiting maternity cases. The MCH center should be a center for the managment of all pregnancies occurring in the community and the promotion of FP with a systematic and effective linkage of resources available in the county such as i.e. Village Health Worker, Community Health Practitioner, Health Sub-center Physicians & Health workers, Doctors and Midwives in MCH center, OBGY Specialists in clinics & hospitals as practiced by the Seosan project at primary health care level.

  • Much has teed changed in the field of hospital administration in the It wake of the rapid development of sciences, techniques ana systematic hospital management. However, we still have a long way to go in organization, in the quality of hospital employees and hospital equipment and facilities, and in financial support in order to achieve proper hospital management. The above factors greatly effect the ability of hospitals to fulfill their obligation in patient care and nursing services. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal methods of standardization and quality nursing so as to improve present nursing services through investigations and analyses of various problems concerning nursing administration. This study has been undertaken during the six month period from October 1971 to March 1972. The 41 comprehensive hospitals have been selected iron amongst the 139 in the whole country. These have been categorized according-to the specific purposes of their establishment, such as 7 university hospitals, 18 national or public hospitals, 12 religious hospitals and 4 enterprise ones. The following conclusions have been acquired thus far from information obtained through interviews with nursing directors who are in charge of the nursing administration in each hospital, and further investigations concerning the purposes of establishment, the organization, personnel arrangements, working conditions, practices of service, and budgets of the nursing service department. 1. The nursing administration along with its activities in this country has been uncritical1y adopted from that of the developed countries. It is necessary for us to re-establish a new medical and nursing system which is adequate for our social environments through continuous study and research. 2. The survey shows that the 7 university hospitals were chiefly concerned with education, medical care and research; the 18 national or public hospitals with medical care, public health and charity work; the 2 religious hospitals with medical care, charity and missionary works; and the 4 enterprise hospitals with public health, medical care and charity works. In general, the main purposes of the hospitals were those of charity organizations in the pursuit of medical care, education and public benefits. 3. The survey shows that in general hospital facilities rate 64 per cent and medical care 60 per-cent against a 100 per cent optimum basis in accordance with the medical treatment law and approved criteria for training hospitals. In these respects, university hospitals have achieved the highest standards, followed by religious ones, enterprise ones, and national or public ones in that order. 4. The ages of nursing directors range from 30 to 50. The level of education achieved by most of the directors is that of graduation from a nursing technical high school and a three year nursing junior college; a very few have graduated from college or have taken graduate courses. 5. As for the career tenure of nurses in the hospitals: one-third of the nurses, or 38 per cent, have worked less than one year; those in the category of one year to two represent 24 pet cent. This means that a total of 62 per cent of the career nurses have been practicing their profession for less than two years. Career nurses with over 5 years experience number only 16 per cent: therefore the efficiency of nursing services has been rated very low. 6. As for the standard of education of the nurses: 62 per cent of them have taken a three year course of nursing in junior colleges, and 22 per cent in nursing technical high schools. College graduate nurses come up to only 15 per cent; and those with graduate course only 0.4 per cent. This indicates that most of the nurses are front nursing technical high schools and three year nursing junior colleges. Accordingly, it is advisable that nursing services be divided according to their functions, such as professional, technical nurses and nurse's aides. 7. The survey also shows that the purpose of nursing service administration in the hospitals has been regulated in writing in 74 per cent of the hospitals and not regulated in writing in 26 per cent of the hospitals. The general purposes of nursing are as follows: patient care, assistance in medical care and education. The main purpose of these nursing services is to establish proper operational and personnel management which focus on in-service education. 8. The nursing service departments belong to the medical departments in almost 60 per cent of the hospitals. Even though the nursing service department is formally separated, about 24 per cent of the hospitals regard it as a functional unit in the medical department. Only 5 per cent of the hospitals keep the department as a separate one. To the contrary, approximately 12 per cent of the hospitals have not established a nursing service department at all but surbodinate it to the other department. In this respect, it is required that a new hospital organization be made to acknowledge the independent function of the nursing department. In 76 per cent of the hospitals they have advisory committees under the nursing department, such as a dormitory self·regulating committee, an in-service education committee and a nursing procedure and policy committee. 9. Personnel arrangement and working conditions of nurses 1) The ratio of nurses to patients is as follows: In university hospitals, 1 to 2.9 for hospitalized patients and 1 to 4.0 for out-patients; in religious hospitals, 1 to 2.3 for hospitalized patients and 1 to 5.4 for out-patients. Grouped together this indicates that one nurse covers 2.2 hospitalized patients and 4.3 out-patients on a daily basis. The current medical treatment law stipulates that one nurse should care for 2.5 hospitalized patients or 30.0 out-patients. Therefore the statistics indicate that nursing services are being peformed with an insufficient number of nurses to cover out-patients. The current law concerns the minimum number of nurses and disregards the required number of nurses for operation rooms, recovery rooms, delivery rooms, new-born baby rooms, central supply rooms and emergency rooms. Accordingly, tile medical treatment law has been requested to be amended. 2) The ratio of doctors to nurses: In university hospitals, the ratio is 1 to 1.1; in national of public hospitals, 1 to 0.8; in religious hospitals 1 to 0.5; and in private hospitals 1 to 0.7. The average ratio is 1 to 0.8; generally the ideal ratio is 3 to 1. Since the number of doctors working in hospitals has been recently increasing, the nursing services have consequently teen overloaded, sacrificing the services to the patients. 3) The ratio of nurses to clerical staff is 1 to 0.4. However, the ideal ratio is 5 to 1, that is, 1 to 0.2. This means that clerical personnel far outnumber the nursing staff. 4) The ratio of nurses to nurse's-aides; The average 2.5 to 1 indicates that most of the nursing service are delegated to nurse's-aides owing to the shortage of registered nurses. This is the main cause of the deterioration in the quality of nursing services. It is a real problem in the guest for better nursing services that certain hospitals employ a disproportionate number of nurse's-aides in order to meet financial requirements. 5) As for the working conditions, most of hospitals employ a three-shift day with 8 hours of duty each. However, certain hospitals still use two shifts a day. 6) As for the working environment, most of the hospitals lack welfare and hygienic facilities. 7) The salary basis is the highest in the private university hospitals, with enterprise hospitals next and religious hospitals and national or public ones lowest. 8) Method of employment is made through paper screening, and further that the appointment of nurses is conditional upon the favorable opinion of the nursing directors. 9) The unemployment ratio for one year in 1971 averaged 29 per cent. The reasons for unemployment indicate that the highest is because of marriage up to 40 per cent, and next is because of overseas employment. This high unemployment ratio further causes the deterioration of efficiency in nursing services and supplementary activities. The hospital authorities concerned should take this matter into a jeep consideration in order to reduce unemployment. 10) The importance of in-service education is well recognized and established. 1% has been noted that on the-job nurses. training has been most active, with nursing directors taking charge of the orientation programs of newly employed nurses. However, it is most necessary that a comprehensive study be made of instructors, contents and methods of education with a separate section for in-service education. 10. Nursing services'activities 1) Division of services and job descriptions are urgently required. 81 per rent of the hospitals keep written regulations of services in accordance with nursing service manuals. 19 per cent of the hospitals do not keep written regulations. Most of hospitals delegate to the nursing directors or certain supervisors the power of stipulating service regulations. In 21 per cent of the total hospitals they have policy committees, standardization committees and advisory committees to proceed with the stipulation of regulations. 2) Approximately 81 per cent of the hospitals have service channels in which directors, supervisors, head nurses and staff nurses perform their appropriate services according to the service plans and make up the service reports. In approximately 19 per cent of the hospitals the staff perform their nursing services without utilizing the above channels. 3) In the performance of nursing services, a ward manual is considered the most important one to be utilized in about 32 percent of hospitals. 25 per cent of hospitals indicate they use a kardex; 17 per cent use ward-rounding, and others take advantage of work sheets or coordination with other departments through conferences. 4) In about 78 per cent of hospitals they have records which indicate the status of personnel, and in 22 per cent they have not. 5) It has been advised that morale among nurses may be increased, ensuring more efficient services, by their being able to exchange opinions and views with each other. 6) The satisfactory performance of nursing services rely on the following factors to the degree indicated: approximately 32 per cent to the systematic nursing activities and services; 27 per cent to the head nurses ability for nursing diagnosis; 22 per cent to an effective supervisory system; 16 per cent to the hospital facilities and proper supply, and 3 per cent to effective in·service education. This means that nurses, supervisors, head nurses and directors play the most important roles in the performance of nursing services. 11. About 87 per cent of the hospitals do not have separate budgets for their nursing departments, and only 13 per cent of the hospitals have separate budgets. It is recommended that the planning and execution of the nursing administration be delegated to the pertinent administrators in order to bring about improved proved performances and activities in nursing services.
