  • Necessity and purpose of this study: In a large number of countries it has been founded that children′s domestic accidents are at great risk year by year In the United States, they publish detailed accident statistics at regular intervals. In Korea. there have been just a few studies on Accidents-At-Home of preschool children. But it can not be said that there have been any systematic statistics about this area. and any study accounting for the relations of home accidents and preschool: children in detail, Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was focused on the inquire of these relations so as to make a little contribution to Korean preschool children′s health and security measures. So, the detail-purposes are to study following questions and to testify following hypothesis. Prob. 1. What the types of accidents of Preschool children, where the place accidents occurred\ulcorner Prob. 2. What the cause of accidents and, the main factors of the cause\ulcorner Prob. 3. How about the number of their children. the disparity of age among their children and mother′s age in each case of accidents\ulcorner hypothesis 1. There will be differences in the density of protection of parents according to the number of their children. hypothesis 2, There will be differences in accident-types and first-aid methods according to parents socio-economic background. Method; This study employed the interviewing survey method, in which 130 preschool children ware random.sampled, who visit hospital to have medical care. These children (from 1 to 6 years olds) were selected at the emergency room of five hospitals in Seoul (Hosp: Severance, Woosok, Medical Center, Hanyang Medical College Hospital and Seoul Medical Col1age Hospital during study-period (from Aug. to Oct, 1973). Four head nurses in above Hospitals were employed as accident members for this study. Concerning research analysis, the method of hypothesis verifying is used. Conclusion: As two American experts on this subject. Dr, Raymond Neuter and Mr. Ross Mc Garland have drawn attention to "minor epidemics of accidents" that could be avoided by fairly simple measures. preschool children′s accidents could be avoided by parents fair attentions. In other words, one of the most common causes of preschool children′s accidents derived from their parent′s inattention. Therefore, one important task on this subject is to instruct the parents fairly about the children′s accidents. Many accidents could be avoided by the exorcist of a little self-discipline. Also, as much the prevention of accidents is important, as the first-aid Is Important and necessary at the case of the accidents. So, the methods of proper first-aid treatment must be emphasized, and must be taught in school, especially in girls school. And there could be other means available for prevention of accidents. Firstly, the public authorities can take legal measures. More stringent safety standards can be made enforceable by law. Building materials and equipment for domestic us: ought to meat minimum safety criteria at all times. Next the public itself has to understand the seriousness of the problem, and here the dissemination of information is of great importance. All mass media should be brought into play to promote greater public awareness of the question. At last, it will be needed to obtain more detailed epidemiological data through additional surveys and statistics after this study.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to conduct a scoping review of studies on interventions for the prevention of safety accidents involving infants. Methods: The scoping review method by Arksey and O'Malley was used to conduct an overview based on information spanning a wide range of fields. Multiple electronic databases, PubMed, CINAHL, RISS, and KISS, were searched for articles written in English or Korean published from 2012 to the present on safety accident prevention interventions. A total of 2,137 papers were found, and 20 papers were ultimately analyzed. Results: Most studies were conducted in the United States (55.0%) and in the medical field (45.0%), and most were experimental studies (35.0%). The results were organized across five categories: 1) preventive precautions, 2) characteristics of children's developmental stages, 3) encouraging voluntary participation, 4) continuity of interventions, and 5) teaching methods. Conclusion: Safety accident prevention interventions should cover the establishment of a safe home environment, include voluntary participation, and provide routine follow-up interventions. Additionally, practical training and teaching methods that incorporate feedback rather than a lecture-oriented approach should be adopted.

  • Children's home accidents are less common than in the past. However, safety accidents continue to occur due to carelessness of the parents. To solve the problem, there are fall prevention screens that can withstand the weight of children, and safety railings that can be adjusted directly to solve the problem. However, these have disadvantages such as stability, convenience, and damage to the landscape. In this paper, we developed an automatic safety accident prevention fence system that can be installed on a window using Arduino, eliminating the disadvantages of previous safety accident prevention products. This system measures the height of a person standing in front of the fence and the distance between the person and the fence with two infrared sensors and moves automatically using a motor. In addition, in accordance with the U-Healthcare society, users can check the temperature, humidity, and fine dust concentration of the external environment through mobile. Each information can be obtained through DHT 11 sensor, fine dust concentration sensor, and Bluetooth connected toArduino. These can help the user's health care.

  • 예전부터 일본에서 의료사고가 형사사건으로 취급되는 경우는 드물었다. 하지만 요코하마시립대학병원과 같은 중대한 의료과오가 발생한 이후 검사가 의료과오를 기소하는 태도를 보이고 있다. 의료사고는 의료관계자간 역할분담의 형태가 과실 인정에서 중요한 하나의 요소가 된다. 요코하마시립병원사건에서는 환자의 동일성확인에 관하여 의료관계자 사이에 역할분담이 확립되지 않은 경우에는 관계자 전원이 환자의 동일성을 확인하여야 할 의무가 있다고 하였다. 또 사이타마 의과대학병원사건에서는 치료에 신중할 필요가 있는 중대한 증례에 관해서는 그 증례를 담당하는 주치의 뿐 만 아니라 대학병원의 과장도 치료방침에 관하여 확인할 의무가 있다고 하였다. 현립 오오노병원사건에서 무죄판결이 내려진 이후는 형사소추에 신중을 기할 필요가 있다는 목소리가 강해지고 있다. 이러한 상황 속에서 후생노동성은 의료사고방지를 위해 의료사고조사제도를 도입하여 의료사고에 제3자기관에 의한 검증의 강화를 도모하고 있다.

  • 건강과 의료에 관심 이 높아지면서 의료수요는 날로 증가하게 되었고 이에 따르는 의료분쟁 또한 증가하는 추세이다. 교정치료와 관련하여 현재 급증하고 있는 의료사고 및 의료분쟁 사항을 조사하여 예방 및 대응책을 마련하고자 대한 치과교정학회주관으로 인정의위원회에서는 30항의 설문지를 작성하였고 1998년 7월에 교정학회 회원 2,200명을 대상으로 교정치료시 의료사고 유형 파악 및 예방을 위한 설문조사를 시행하였다. 그 내용은 의료사고나 분쟁을 경험한 회원들의 인적사항을 포함한 관련사항, 의료사고와 관련된 환자의 인적사항 및 의료사고 원인 및 해결방법, 회원들의 교정치료와 관련된 주의사항, 의무기록 작성 및 보관 등에 관한 사항이었으며 그 결과를 바탕으로 교정과 영역에서의 의료사고 및 의료분쟁의 성격 분석을 하였다. 현재의 상황에서 언제 어디서 일어날지 모르는 의료사고나 의료분쟁을 예방하거나 방지하는 것이 의료분쟁이 발생한 후 해결하는 것보다 더 중요하다. 이를 위해서는 환자와 의사간의 신뢰를 바탕으로 진료기술의 숙련도를 높이고 발전하는 새로운 의학 정보를 얻는데 게으르지 말아야하며 진단, 치료과정, 치료의 후유증, 위험성에 관한 자세한 설명을 통하여 환자 스스로 치료여부를 결정할 수 있는 의료환경을 만들어 나가야할것이며 환자를 대하는데 주의를 기울이며 가장 기본적인 진료기록부 작성과 관리에 관심을 가져야 할 것이다. 교정학회차원에서도 의료사고와 분쟁의 예방과 대응책에 관한 교육프로그램과 의료사고와 분쟁이 발생할 경우 도움을 줄 수 있는 대책이나 기구 등을 마련하여야할 것이다.
