  • 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경을 구현하기 위해서 가장 핵심이 되는 기술은 USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network)기술로써 RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)와 무선 센서 네트워크(Wireless Sensor Network WSN)를 이용한 다양한 센서 기술과 프로세서 집적 기술 그리고 무선 네트워크 기술을 이용해서 실제 물리적 환경 정보를 원격에서 손쉽게 수집하고 모니터링 하는 것을 가능하게 함으로써 기존 가상 공간의 IT 기술을 다양한 실제 환경에서 확대할 수 있도록 한다. 그러나 RFID와 WSN은 이러한 기술적 유사성과 상호 영향에도 불구하고 별 개의 연구로 인식되었으며 RFID와 WSN의 기술적인 융합에 대한 연구는 미비한 수준이다. 이러한 문제점을 인식한 EPCglobal에서는 국제 표준인 EPCglobal Network를 기반으로 RFID와 WSN 기술을 효율적으로 통합/연동할 수 있는 EPC 센서 네트워크(EPC Sensor Network)를 제안하였다. 제안된 EPC 센서 네트워크는 미들웨어에서 복합 이벤트 처리(Complex Event Processing) 기법을 이용하여 RFID와 WSN을 통해 발생되는 데이터를 단일 환경에서 통합하고, 발생된 이벤트를 EPCglobal Network를 기반으로 연동하는 기술이다. 하지만 이러한 EPC 센서 네트워크는 미들웨어에서 복합 이벤트를 검출하기 위해 복합 이벤트를 구성하는 모든 기본 이벤트가 발생하지 못하는 경우에도 계속적인 검사를 수행하기 때문에 연산 비용이 증가되는 문제점이 있다. 또한 센서 데이터의 표현을 위해 RFID 태그의 EPC를 기반으로 센서 데이터를 하나의 결합된 쌍으로 표현한다. 이것은 센서 데이터를 처리하는데 있어 반드시 EPC가 있어야 함을 의미한다. 즉, 센서 데이터만을 위한 관리 기능은 제공하지 못하는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 EPC 센서 네트워크의 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 RFID/WSN 통합 관리 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 RFID/WSN 통합 관리 시스템은 첫 번째, RFID와 WSN 데이터를 인터넷 표준 프로토콜인 SIP(Session Initiation Protocol) 기반의 통합 관리 시스템을 제안하였다. 두 번째, 미들웨어에서 불필요한 복합 이벤트 검출 연산을 위하여 복합 이벤트의 최소 조건을 정의하고 조건을 만족하는 경우에만 복합 이벤트를 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안하는 기법들의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 SIP 기반의 통합관리시스템을 구현하여 성능을 평가하였다.

  • This study was designed to develop a conceptual framework for the curriculum and develop the details of the learning content for the education of Community Health Practitioners (CHPs). Since education programs for CHPs started 10 years ago, concepts related to CHP services have changed because of changes in society. The objectives of the study were as follows : 1) to analyse the usefulness of the present education program for CHPs, 2) to analyse the Job performance and self -confidence of the CHPs, 3) to identify the health needs of the clients served by the CHPs and the community problems related to health. 4) to develop a conceptual framework for the curriculum, for the education of CHPs, 5) to develops details for the learning content of the education program for CHPs. Phase I of the study was conducted by questionnaires to 150 CHPs who have worked in remote rural areas for more than 2 years. Among them, 147 responded. Data was collected from August 16, to August 25, 1990. In order to identify the health needs of the community people, research within the last five years was reviewed and analyzed. The data on 1, 842 communities gathered by the WHO Nursing Collaborations Center of the College of Nursing, Yonsei University was utilized to identify community problems related to health and the self - confidence in job performance of the CHPs. Psase II of the study consisted of a workshop with 13 professionals including Community Health Practitioners to evaluate the existing education program and a conceptual framework of the curriculum for the job education of CHPs. The results of the study are Summariged below : 1. The only 26 among 45 content items of the education program related to job skills was used by 80% of the responding CHPs. The knowledge of $\ulcorner$Networking community organization$\lrcorner$ was used by only 53.7% of the respondents. Educational content about $\ulcorner$Mental disease$\lrcorner$ was used by less than 50% of CHPs because of a knowledge deficit. 2. The CHPs reported that their activities concentrated on clinical services during the last six months. The survey showed that they seemed to neglect the activities for health promotion and disease prevention. Thus, $\ulcorner$Education for community loaders$\lrcorner$(15.9%), $\ulcorner$Activity for eavironmental health$\lrcorner$(16.3%) and $\ulcorner$Social work for needey people$\lrcorner$(23.3%) were done by less than 30% of CHPs. 3. More than 90% of CHPs reported being self - confident for the activities of $\ulcorner$Health education and counselling$\lrcorner$, $\ulcorner$Medicine prescription$\lrcorner$ and $\ulcorner$Immunization$\lrcorner$. But 50% of CHPs reported that they were not have self - confident in $\ulcorner$Management of water and environmental health$\lrcorner$ and only 25.6% of CHPs could insert an IUD independently. 4. It was identified that respiratory diseases and the gastrointestinal diseases were most common problems for the community people, followed by musculoskeletal and skin problems. 5. The community problems were classified into eight categories : physical environmental problems, environmental hygiene, health problems, health behavior, social problem, lack of resources, financial problem and the problems of the cultural and value system. 6. The conceptual framework consisted of the target population and their health status, nursing process working site and primary health care services such as health promotion, disease prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. 7. The contents of curriculum of education program for CHPs were formulated from the results of this study.

Methods : The survey tool used in this study was a structured questionnaire form consisting of question items. The researcher hereof conducted this survey by means of direct visit and interview during two seasons, i.e. from February to August, 2008 and from December 2008 to March 2009, respectively. Results : 1) For general demographic characteristics, it was found that 90.9% of all respondents were women and 61.2% of all respondents were at age 75 to 84. for health conditions, it was found that more than 90% of all respondents often took medicines due to their unhealthy body, and most of respondents suffered from musculoskeletal diseases 79.3% and circulatory diseases 61.6%. for walking capacity, it was found that 45.5% of all respondents used walking aids, and disable respondents (11.5% of all respondents) were represented primarily by those with physical disability (52.6% of disable respondents). for actual use of medical institutions, it was found 47.3% of all respondents relied on local clinics, since they preferred neighborhood hospitals or clinics they can trust for medical care. for social activities and supports, it was found that 43.6% respondents had 'needs for assistance at times' and 33.9% respondents have 'no need for assistance'. And it was found that the major difficulties in living alone at old age were represented primarily by health problems 37.8% and economic difficulties 33.5%. 2) For characteristics related to wireless paging system, it was found that 90.3% respondents used wireless paging system recommended by firemen, and 28.5% respondents used this system. and it was found that 59.6% respondents used this system once, and 85.2% respondents used it because of acute or chronic diseases. more than 90% respondents thought that they knew about wireless paging system and considered themselves safe, but 83.6% respondents didn't attach a remote control on their upper clothes, and even 49.1% respondents turned off the power of wireless paging system due to their concern about electricity bill and noise. 3) It was found that 83.6% respondents felt it necessary to use wireless paging system, and wireless paging users felt more satisfied with using the system than non-users, and 50.7% showed high satisfaction at certain psychological benefits like 'confidence in coping with critical situations' and 'a sense of relief'. In addition, it was found that some respondents who answered that 'they didn't turn off the paging system as they knew how it works' and those who answered that they knew 'how to use it' showed relatively high satisfaction. And some respondents who kept it well and felt it necessary also showed high satisfaction. 4) It was found that the level of satisfaction our respondents felt with using wireless paging system varied significantly availability($x^{2}$ = 12.759, p = .002), psychological advantages($x^{2}$ = 12.174, p = .002), knowledge about how to use system($x^{2}$ = 7.021, p = .016), power on/off($x^{2}$ = 13.221, p = .001), level of knowledge about system($x^{2}$ = 21.002, p = .000), maintenance($x^{2}$ = 9.871, p = .007) and level of necessity($x^{2}$ = 34.939, p = .000) on the statistical basis.
