노년기의 일상생활의 질을 좌우하는 질병으로 청각장애가 대표적이다. 본 연구는 노년기의 청력손실이 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 한국형 청각장애평가지수를 개발하고자 하였다. 이러한 도구는 임상현장에서 접하게 되는 노인성 난청의 어려움을 도울 수 있는 청각재활의 질을 향상시킬 수 있다. 연구대상자는 청각장애를 가진 288명(보청기 착용자:176명, 보청기 미착용자:112명)을 대상으로 평균연령은 67.40세(보청기 착용자: 60.15세, 보청기 미착용자:78.79세)로 남녀의 구성비는 58.0%와 42.0%이고, 외향적인 성격과 내향적인 성격 대상자의 분포는 49.3%와 50.7%로 균형이 맞는 구성을 이루었다. 한국형 청각장애평가지수 시안 설문지 5개척도 30개 문항을 한국인의 정서에 맞는 문항으로 작성하였다. 이러한 시안에 대한 요인분석을 통하여 4개의 척도(1척도: 사회적인 영향, 2척도: 심리·정서적인 영향, 3척도: 대인관계의 영향, 4척도: 보청기에 대한 견해)를 구분하고 각 척도에 대하여 6개 문항씩 구성된 24개 문항의 설문지인 한국형 청각장애평가지수(Korean evaluation scale for hearing handicap, KESHH)를 개발하였다. KESHH에 대한 연구결과는 다음 다섯 가지로 요약할 수 있다. 첫째로 KESHH의 척도별 신뢰도(cronbach alpha 값)는 0.723에서 0.895로 매우 높게 나타났다. 둘째로 설문 점수 비교에서는 최소점수 24점에서 최대 117점으로 보청기 착용자의 평균 점수는 72.06점(SD=15.67)로 보청기 미착용자의 평균 점수 66.98점(SD=20.94)에 비해 5.08점 높게 나타났다. 청력정도별 설문점수에서는 경도난청 이하에서 52.63점, 중도난청에서 67.29점, 중고도난청에서 71.89 그리고 고도난청이상에서 75.57점으로 청력정도가 높아질수록 KESHH의 점수도 유의미하게 높아지는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.001). 셋째로 4개의 척도간의 상관관계는 상관계수가 0.384~0.880((p<0.001)로 유의미한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 평균청력, 성격, 4개의 척도간 상관분석에서 평균청력과 성격 그리고 평균청력과 보청기에 대한 견해를 제외한 모든 영역에서 상관계수는 0.148~0.880으로 모두 통계적으로 유의미한 상관관계를 나타냈다. 넷째, 각 척도에 대한 단계별 다중회귀분석으로 설명도를 확인하였다. 사회적인 영향의 척도는 순음평균청력, 성격, 보청기 사용상태가 17.4%를 설명하였고, 심리·정서적인 영향 척도는 순음평균청력, 성격, 보청기 사용상태, 연령이 14.4%를 설명하였고 대인관계의 영향은 순음평균청력, 성격, 보청기 사용상태가 11.2%를 설명하였고 보청기에 대한 견해는 성격이 2.2%를 설명하였다. 마지막으로 검사-재검사 신뢰도는 0.791(p<0.001)로 나타났다. 결론적으로 한국인의 정서를 고려하여 개발된 KESHH설문지는 노년기의 청력손실로 느끼게 되는 장애의 정도를 점수로 표현하는 도구로 유용하며, 임상현장의 다양한 상황에서 보청기의 착용 전 후와 청각재활 전 후의 청각장애지수의 변화를 평가 할 수 있는 검사도구로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Cleft lip and palate is one of the congenital anomalies which need comprehensive and multidisciplinary treatment plan because 1) oral cavity is an important organ with masticatory function as a start of digestive tract, 2) anatomic symmetry and balance is esthetically important in midfacial area, and 3) it is also important to prevent psycho-social problems by adequate restoration of normal facial appearance. There are many different protocols in the treatment of cleft lip and palate, but our department has adopted and modified the $Z{\"{u}}rich$ protocol, as published in the Journal of Korean Cleft Lip and Palate Association in 1998. The first challenge is feeding. Type of feeding aid ranges from simple obturators to active orthopedic appliances. In our department we use passive-type plate made up of soft and hard acrylic resin which permits normal maxillary growth. We use Millard's method to restore normal appearance and function of unilateral complete cleft lip. In consideration of both maxillary growth and phonetic problems, we first close soft palate at 18 months of age and delay the hard palate palatoplasty until 4 to 5 years of age. When soft palate is closed, posterior third of the hard palate is intentionally not denuded to allow normal maxillary growth. In hard palate palatoplasty the mucoperiosteum of affected site is not mobilized to permit residual growth of the maxilla. We have treated a patient with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate by Ajou protocol, which is a kind of modified $Z{\"{u}}rich$ protocol. It is as follows: Infantile orthopedics with passive-type plate such as Hotz plate, cheiloplasty with Millard's rotation-advancement flap, and two stage palatoplasty. It is followed by orthodontic treatment and secondary osteoplasty to augment cleft alveolus, orthognathic surgery, and finally rehabilitation with conventional prosthodontic treatment or implant installation. The result was good up to now, but we are later to investigate the final result with longitudinal follow-up study according to master plan by Ajou protocol.

The educational preparation of nurses has been the focus of considerable debate globally. It is needed the change of the basic nursing education for professional nurse to prepare the trends of the health care needs of clients for coming new generation. And also it is believed that educational preparation for being nurses is to be responsible to clients' needs. The purpose of the study was to develop a baccalaureate program in nursing. This study were implemented through three stages from April 2001, to April 2002.: preparation stage which were consisted of reviewing of the literatures, interviewing the fellow nurses in a variety workplace, and consulting professors who were concerned with the nursing education to identify the present educational problems, and analyzing the contents of seven major courses in nursing education, evaluation stage about a new developed curriculum with the directors of the five nursing schools, and confirmation stage of new developed education programme. The developed education programme was designed as a four year program with 126 credit hours including 39 credit hours of liberal arts, 34 credit hours of supplementary courses, and 53 credit hours of nursing major based on the four basic nursing dimensions of human, health, environment and nursing. Nursing majors were consisted of Nursing Ⅰ(oxygenation), Nursing Ⅱ(nutrition elimination), Nursing Ⅲ(activity rest), Nursing Ⅳ(neurologic- endocrine protection), Nursing Ⅴ(fluids electrolytes/sex reproductive), Nursing Ⅵ(psycho-social), Community Health Nursing, Fundamental Nursing, School Health, and Emergency care. This new nursing programme was focused on the nursing education for prevention and rehabilitation nursing care as well as the acute and chronic nursing care at hospital, on the integrated nursing programme to become effective, and the nursing process to encourage the critical thinking. The new education programme focused on the professional nurses who are responsible the nursing ethics, communication skills, and professional beliefs to suit the future trends in health. And also it will be needed for faculties to manage the integrated curriculum, to analyze the contents of each subject, and to communicate with each other before a new education programme apply to their education programme in future.

교정 치료에서 치과의사가 아무리 좋은 진료 술식을 가지고 있더라도, 환자의 협조도가 따르지 않는다면 좋은 치료 결과가 나오기를 기대할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 환자부모의 인성을 연구하여 자녀의 협조도와의 상관관계를 규명고자 하였다. 환자부모의 인성검사는 scl-90-r로 간이 인성검사를 하였고, 환자의 협조도는 약속시간, 장치의장착률, 장치의 파손, 진료비 납부율를 통해 협조도를 구했다. 환자 부모 인성검사 내용은 신체화척도, 강박증, 대인예민성, 우울척도, 불안척도, 적대감, 공포불안척도, 편집증 척도, 정신증 척도, 부가적 문항이었다. 여기서 상호상관관계를 알기위해 원도우 통계처리용 SPSS12.0 프로그램을 사용한 결과는 협조도와 부모인성관계는 상관관계가 없었고, 아버지와 협조도의 관계에서 아버지의 정신 증에서 약간의 상관관계는 있었으나, 무시할 만한 수준이었다. 어머니와 협조도의 상관관계는 거의 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 협조도간의 상관관계에서 약속과 장착, 파손, 납부는 통계적으로 유의할만한 결과가 나왔다. 장착과 납부는 양의 상관관계를 보였다.

Firemen are directly exposed to various harmful chemicals, physical factors and mental stress during rescue and fire-fighting. In fire extinguishing, unstable posture, poisonous gas, dust, high temperature and heavy equipments are possible hazardous factors. The alertness for emergency, shift work, job strain and stress are also possibly hazardous. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of musculo-skeletal symptoms and job stress and to determine risk factors in firemen. This study was carried out in a group of 226 firemen in Busan City, Korea. Standardized Nordic Questionnaire was used to investigate the prevalence of musculo-skeletal symptoms and Psycho-social Well-being Index (abbreviated PWI) was used to investigate the prevalence of job stress. General and occupational characteristics were included education, marital status, alcohol and smoking history, working duration, and work shift system. Body mass index (BMI) scores were calculated by physical examination including height and weight. Concerning musculo-skeletal complaints, the commonest site was neck, and shoulder, lower back, upper back were the next. Complaint site above one area of body was about 80%. From multiple logistic regression analysis, working duration was significant variable in musculo-skeletal symptoms. Odds ratio were 15.4 in working duration. About 16.8% was high risk stress group. From multiple logistic regression analysis, shift work and alcohol drinking were significant variables in PWI scores. Odds ratios were 2.25 in shift work. Accordingly, interventions are needed for health promotion of long term and shift worker.
