To survey the specialties or sujects of practice displayed by the private practitioners the authors visited 691 clinics in Taegu from April 1 to May 18, 1991, At the same time, a mail questionnaire was administered to ask the number of displayed subjects of practice, and the reasons for displaying the subjects, reasons for not displaying in case of no specialty was displayed, composition of patients, and role as a specialist. The questionnaire was returned by 308(44.6%) practitioners. The distributions of private practitioners by specialty were 13.9% for internal medicine (IM), 11.7% for pediatrics(Ped), 13.0% for obstetrics '||'&'||' gynecology(OBGY), 11.1% for general surgery(GS), 10.0% for family practice(FP), and 5.3% for general practitioner(GP). Ninety percent of the specialists have displayed their specialty in their offices. Among all the private practitioners, 61.9% of them have displayed their subjects of practice and 23.7% have shown telephone number. Among private practitioners who displayed the subjects of practice, 80.6% have signs of 'subjects of practice'. Mean number of the displayed subjects of practice for the all private practitioners is 1.20, and 1.93 for the private practitioners who displayed subjects of practice. FP and GS have displayed their subjects of practice in 91.2% and 87.0% respectively and OBGY have displayed in 32.2%, the lowest percentage among all the soecuaktues. IM specialists displays pediatrics as a major subject of practice in 72.1% the pediatricians display IM in 88.9% the OBGYs display pediatrics in 77.8%, and the GSs display IM in 51.9%. Most commonly displayed subjects of practice are Ped and IM. Sixty-five percent of the private practitioners answered that they don't display their specialties because their clinics are "primary health care facility". The reasons for displaying the subjects of practice and its relevance with their own specialty(45.6%), and the difficulty in clinic management only with the patients for their own specialty(36.9%). The proportion of clinics whose patients of other specialty are than their own specialty accounted less than 10% was 52.8% and that accounted more than 51% was 16.0%. Specially, 51.4% of GS specialists cared more than 51% of patients of other specialty area than their own specialty. Most of the patients of IM, Ped, and OBGY specialists are the patients of their own specialty. However, 56.8% of GS care more of IM patients and only 24.3% of them care mostly GS patients, The respondents to the mail questionnaire who stated that they can not play the role of specialist well are 30.5% and especially 72.9% of the GS specialists state so. The proportion of respondents who do not suffort the private practice of specialists is 71.1%. Among the surgical specialists, 82.7% of them rarely perform operation. The reasons for not performing operation are insufficient insurance fee (76.9%), and risk of operation(58.0%), so as the OBGY specialists.

의사들의 지역간 분포양상 및 불균형 정도를 체계적으로 측정하여, 장기적이고 합리적인 의사인력의 배분정책 수립을 위한 기초자료로 제시하고자 1980년과 1985년의 인구센서스 통계자료와 정기의사 신고자료를 이용하여 의사, 일반의, 전문의의 지역간 불균형정도를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1980년에는 전체의사의 10.4%가 군지역에 위치하고 있었으나 1985년에는 9.6%로 군지역 분포율이 낮아졌고, 인구 100,000명당 의사수는 1980년에는 군지역에 9.18명이던 것이 1985년에는 12.95명으로 증가했다. 일반의는 1980년에 군지역에 14.7% 분포되어 있었으나 1985년에는 12.7%로 낮아졌고, 인구 100,000명당 의사수는 7.13에서 7.29명으로 증가했다. 전문의의 경우 1980년에는 5.1%가 군지역에 위치하고 있었으나 1985년에는 7.3% 증가되었고, 인구 100,000명당 의사수도 2.05명에서 5.66명으로 증가했다. 군지역에의 분포비율이 10%를 초과한 전문과목별 전문의는 일반외과와 예방의학과 뿐이었으며, 1980년에 비해 1985년에 군지역 분포비율이 흉부외과 전문의를 제외하고는 모든 전문과목에서 높아졌다. Gini계수의 1980년$\sim$1985년간 변화율은 의사 -15.40%, 일반의 18.01%, 전문의 -10.43%로서 일반의의 불균형 정도가 심화되었고, 구지역간과 군지역간에는 모든 의사의 분포가, 시지역간에는 일반의의 분포만 더 불균형하게 된 것으로 나타났다. 전문의 중에서는 소아과 전문의의 변화율이 -12.24%로 가장 높았으며, 신경외과, 흉부외과, 성형외과, 안과, 결핵과, 예방의학과, 해부병리과 전문의는 1980년보다 1985년에 Gini계수가 더 높아졌다. 그리고 1985년 기준으로 일반외과 전문의의 Gini계수만 0.4369로 0.5이하였고, 0.8이상인 전문과목은 성형외과, 결핵과, 임상병리과, 해부병리과, 재활의학과 등이었다. 의사의 지역간 균형분포를 위해서는 의사의 지역간 분포요인 분석 연구를 통해, 이를 기초로 적절한 배분정책을 수립해야 할 것이며, 공공의료인력의 효과적인 활용이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Dep. of Classics &Medical History, College of Oriental Medicint, Kyung Hee University Today, many people are more interested Today, many people are more interested in preventing the disease than curing it. Chi-Kung(氣功) is the way of Life-Cultivation(養生法) peculiar to the orient, it is reported in china that Chi-Kung has an excellent curative value not only in curing the disease but also in preventing it. But the full-scale study of Chi-Kung is not be made up to now in Korea, so I studied the developmental history of chinese Chi-Kung through the oriental medical books. From this study, I reached the following conclusions; 1. Chi-Kung is naturally derived from the self-preservation instinct to adapt oneself to circumstances of the nature, but in the investigation from the documentational records, it is originated in the treatment method of the Sam-Huang-O-Jae(三皇五帝) period to cure the abnormal circulation of the vital force and blood caused by damp(濕). 2. As the principle and the method of the Life-Cultivation of the Chun-Chu-Jeon-Kook(春秋戰國) period were recorded in Huang-Jae-Nai-Gyung(黃帝內經) detailly and the remedy examples by ancient Chi-Kung such as Tao-Yin(導引), Haeng-Chi(行氣) were presented, we considered that theoretical basis of the development of Life-cultivation and Chi-Kung study was furnished in that period. 3. A famous doctor, Hwa-Ta(華引) lived in Han dynasty, researched the theory and practice of Tao-Yin transmitted from the former generations, as that result, he formed a kind of medical, gymnastics what is called O-Keum-Hi(五禽?). It is considered that 'O-Keum-Hi' is a Tao-Yin method developed more practically and systemetically than the Tao-Yin appeared in the 'Jang-Ja'(莊子) or 'Hoy-Nam-Ja'(淮南子). 4. In Wui-Jin-Nambook-Jo(魏曺南北朝) periods, the contents of Chi-Kung were more abundant under the influence of Buddhism(佛敎) and Taoism(道敎). Galhong(葛洪), the author of 'Po-Bak-Ja'(抱朴子) arranged the ancient Chi-Kung method systematically first of all, Tao-Goeng-Gyung, the author of 'Yang-Seong-Yeun-Myung-Rok'(養性延命錄) recorded the 'Yook-Ja-Geul'(六字訣) first time. 5. There is a new development of Chi-Kung therapy in Soo-Tang-Odae(隋唐五代) periods, especially So-Won-Bang(巢元方), the author of 'Jey-Bang-Won-Hwu-Ron' collected almost all of the Chi-Kung method, for curing the disease formed before Soo(隋) period. From that fact, we supposed that Chi-Kung was utilized more widely in curing the disease. 6. 'So-Ju-Cheon-Hwa-Hu-Peob'(小周天火候法) was adopted as the best orthodox approach under the influence of Nae-Tan-Taoist(道敎內丹學波) in Song-Keum-Won(宋金元) periods, especially in the song dynasty, 'Pal-Dan-Geum'(八段錦) was appearde and assignment of six-Chi(六氣) for bowel and viscera in the 'Yook-Ja-Geul'(六字訣) was decided firmly, that is to say Lung-Si(肺-?), Heart-Kha(心-呵), Spleen-Hoa(脾-呼), liver-Hoe(肝-噓), Kidney-chui(賢-吹), Three-Burner-shi(三焦-?). 7. In Myung-Cheong(明淸) periods, The general practitioner applied the principle of 'Byun-Jeng-Ron-Chi(辨證論治) to the Chi-Kung field, and after Myung dynasty the style of doing 'Yook-Ja-Gyel'(六字訣) was developed to the moving style. 8. Today, in china, the study on the Chi-Kyung is being progressed constantly under the positive assistance of government, Chi-Kung-Hak(氣功學) has taking its place as a branch of study step by step. It is considered that the establishment of Chi-Kung-Hak Classroom(氣功學敎室) and Medical Chi-Kung Center(氣功療法室) for special and systematic research are needed, at the same time the settlement of institutional system for training the Chi-Kung technician(氣功師) is also needed.

거주지 주변 소아치과 전문 의원의 수가 빠르게 증가하고 있는 요즘 대학병원의 소아치과에 내원하는 환자들의 내원 경로와 내원 동기는 의원급 소아치과에 내원하는 환자의 내원 경로, 동기와는 다를 것으로 예상된다. 2010년 5월 1일부터 7월 31일까지 서울대학교 치과병원 소아치과에 신환으로 내원한 환자의 자료를 조사 분석하고, 보호자를 대상으로 한 설문 조사결과를 바탕으로 대학병원에 신환으로 내원한 환자의 내원 경로와 내원 동기 등에 관하여 알아보고, 환자 및 보호자가 어떠한 기준으로 병원을 선택하고 내원하는지 살펴보았다. 1. 조사기간 동안 내원한 신환의 평균 연령은 6.2세였다. 2. 전체 신환 중 남자 환자는 54.5%, 여자 환자는 45.5%로 남자가 여자보다 더 많은 비율을 차지하였다. 3. 보호자를 대상으로 한 설문조사에서 서울대학교 소아치과에 내원하게 된 경위는 타 치과에서 대학병원으로의 권유가 가장 많았으며, 그 다음은 주변의 추천, 예전에 치료 받던 병원이라서, 거주지와의 접근성이 좋음, 브랜드 네임, 인터넷 검색 순으로 나타났다. 4. 내원 전 타 치과를 방문한 경험이 있는 환자는 75%로 나타났다. 1) 타 치과 방문 후 내원한 환자의 71%는 1군데 방문 후 내원하였으며 3군데 이상 방문 후 내원한 환자도 약 4% 정도로 나타났다. 2) 이전에 방문한 치과의 전문성 여부를 살펴보았을 때 소아 전문치과가 아닌 곳을 방문 후 내원하는 경우가 약간 많게 나타났다. 3) 타 치과를 방문 후 본원에 다시 내원하게 된 이유는 진단의 정확성을 확인하기 위해서라는 경우가 60.7%로 가장 많았으며, 이전 병원에서 대학병원으로 의뢰, 비용상의 문제, 기타 의견, 이전 치과의 접근성 불편 순으로 나타났다. 90% 이상의 환자들이 진단의 정확성을 재확인하거나 이전 병원에서 대학병원으로 의뢰하여 재내원한 것으로 나타났다. 4) 본원에서 치료를 원치 않는 경우, 치료를 원치 않는 가장 큰 이유는 교통 불편, 접근성이 어렵다는 점이었다. 어린 연령의 환아와 보호자가 동행해야 하며 잦은 간격으로 여러 번 내원해야 하는 소아치과 진료의 특성상 접근성이 재내원 여부를 주저하는 가장 큰 요인으로 작용한 것으로 보인다.
