The effort to measure and improve the quality of healthcare is a common health policy issue worldwide. Korean Value Incentive Programme is one of that effort, but some concerns exist. Compared to pay for performance program in other countries, it measures healthcare quality with relatively narrow performance domain using a small number of clinical indicators. It was designed without involving hospitals and other key stakeholder, and program participation was mandated. Highest and lowest performers get bonus and penalty using relative ranking. As a suggestion for development, the direction for quality management at the national level should be given first. Therefore the philosophy or strategy for quality improvement should be reflected to the program. And various domains and indicators of healthcare quality should be developed with active communication with healthcare providers. The evaluation method is necessary to be changed to provide achievable goal to the healthcare providers and attract quality improvement.

Purpose: This study evaluated the effects of a cultural competence training program for public health nurses (PHNs) using intervention mapping. Methods: An embedded mixed method design was used. Forty-one PHNs (experimental: 21, control: 20) and forty marriage migrant women (MMW) (20, in each group) who were provided nursing care by PHN participated in the study. The experimental group was provided with a four-week cultural competence program consisting of an eight hour offline and online course, e-mail newsletters and social networking services (BAND). Transcultural Self-efficacy (TSE) of the PHNs, client-nurse trust, and satisfaction with nursing care of MMW were measured. Ten PHNs in the experimental group were interviewed after the experimental study. Results: The experimental group showed a significantly greater improvement in TSE, client-nurse trust, and satisfaction with nursing care than did the control group. Six themes emerged from qualitative data: (a) Recognizing cultural differences, (b) Being interested in the multicultural policy, (c) Trying to communicate in MMW's own language, (d) Providing medical information using internet and smart phone, (e) Embracing culturally diverse people into society, and (f) Requiring ongoing cultural competence training. Conclusion: Cultural competence training enabled PHNs to provide culturally competent care and contribute to MMW's health outcomes.

본 연구에서는 치과의료 QI 활동이 활발할 가능성이 있는 21개 대표적인 의료기관을 선정하여 QI 활동의 개괄적인 현황을 조사하고, 동시에 그 기관에 근무하는 치과위생사 전체를 대상으로 치과의료 QI 활동의 시행 실태 및 QI 활동시행 후 개선효과에 대한 만족도를 조사하고 QI 활동의 활성화 요인과 저해요인 등을 알아봄으로써 치과의료 QI 활동의 현황을 파악하고 이에 따른 발전 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. QI 활동 주제별 시행률은 외부고객만족 주제가 59.9%로 가장 높았고 비용절감 59.4%, 의료의 질 향상 58.8%, 위험관리 52.8%, 업무효율성 향상 46.5%의 순으로 나타났다. 2. QI 활동 시행 후 개선 효과에 대한 만족도 점수는 비용절감 3.68점, 의료 질 향상 3.66점, 위험관리 3.65점, 외부고객만족 3.61점, 업무 효율성 향상 3.45점 등의 순으로 나타났다. 3. 의료기관 종류별 비교에서는 일반(종합)병원의 QI 활동 시행률이 유의하게 높았고 만족도 점수에서는 치과대학병원이 여러 항목에서 낮은 만족도 점수를 보였다. 4. 가장 많은 응답자가 지적한 QI 활동을 활성화 하는 요인은 병원종사자들의 적극적인 참여도, 저해하는 요인으로는 QI 활동의 인력과 예산 부족이 있다. 결론적으로 치과의료 QI 활동은 외부고객만족도 등 가시적인 효과가 용이하게 나타나는 주제에 집중되는 반면 복잡하고 가시적인 효과가 빠른 시간 내에 나타나기 어려운 주제에 대한 QI 활동은 소홀한 경향이 있으므로 균형 있는 사업 시행을 도모하고 QI 활동을 활성화하기 위해서 노력하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: The study examined the correlation of perceived health status, health behaviors, and marital satisfaction in women who have immigrated to Korea through marriage. Method: Data were collected via questionnaires that investigated health status, health behaviors, Korean language ability, characteristics of couple, and marital satisfaction. Three hundred four subjects were selected for a 4-month period. The data of 300 subjects were analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, and correlation, after four questionnaires were excluded due to incomplete data. Results: Perceived health status varied significantly according to nationality, existence of religion, and period of immigration. The scores for perceived health status among women who had lived in Korea for more than 5 years were lower than for women who had resided for 1-3 years. There was a significant positive correlation between health status and health behavior, and health status and Korean language ability, but a negative correlation between health status and age. Conclusion: A program for the improvement of health in immigrant women should include communication assistance as their mother language and should provide periodic health screening.
