This descriptive study investigates the need for, satisfaction with, and availability of local healthcare services for elderly individuals. The subjects included 210 individuals aged 65 years over, and data were analyzed using SPSS. The subjects reported the limited availability of local healthcare services but a high level of satisfaction with and a strong need for these services. The subjects used these services mainly for their vaccination and perceived cost-effectiveness as the most important factor motivating their decision to use these services and a lack of publicity as the most important factor discouraging their use. Spouses, jobs, and health conditions showed significant differences in the level of satisfaction and availability, and diseases showed significant differences only in the need. These results suggest that local healthcare centers should provide services that many elderly patients can use through outreach services, connections to local communities, and active publicity instead of expanding service types.

Methods: Researchers interviewed management of four existing welfare programs by churces in order to understand operation of social welfare program for elders by churches. The second step was case study of four churches in Suwon City area. The potential for social welfare space use for elders was examined. Results: Researchers found the role of churches in providing welfare relevant programs and services but its function is not well established yet.

Based on the basic ideology of health care, this study realized the seriousness of annual unmet medical need and conducted a study to confirm the relationship between the subjective perception of regional healthcare environment and unmet medical needs. The independent variable was classified into attitude 'satisfaction' and 'unsatisfaction' toward regional healthcare, and the dependent variable was classified as whether unmet medical needs occurred annually. Based on previous studies, the control variables were selected as demographic and socioeconomic characteristics that can affect the occurrence of unmet medical care annually and characteristics related to health behavior. Descriptive statistics were conducted for each variable on the extracted sample, and multivariate survey logistic regression analysis was conducted to confirm the association between variables. As a result, more unmet medical needs occurred annually than those who were satisfied with the medical services in the area where they lived. In addition, more unmet medical need occurred annually in "unsatisfied" households compared to households "satisfied" with local medical services. In residential areas, women live in "metropolis" and "rural areas" compared to "urban," women live in men, lower education levels, and poor subjective health levels, and less satisfied with local medical services. As such, the impact of environmental factors in the community on the use of health and medical services is one of the major areas of interest in the field of health science, such as health policy and social dynamics. Therefore, hospitals in each region need to make efforts in terms of hospital management to increase the overall satisfaction of medical services in the region by continuously monitoring the attitude of residents to achieve universal health security, and policymakers should also be interested and propose new policies.

본 연구는 접근성과 의료서비스 품질, 대외적 이미지를 높임으로써 향후 지방의료원이 지역 내 대표의료기관으로서 경쟁력을 확보하고 경영효율성을 향상시키는데 그 목적이 있다. 조사대상은 604명으로 하였으며, 분석방법은 ANOVA, 공분산 구조방정식을 실시하였다. 결론을 보면, 의료기관 선택요인에 대한 고객들의 만족도나 선호도가 인구통계학적 특성별로 유의한 차이가 있다는 결과는 앞으로 지방의료원이 의료서비스 전문화 전략을 수립할 때 주요 고객집단의 욕구에 대한 면밀한 검토가 이루어져야 할 필요가 있음을 시사하고 있다. 또한 지방의료원이 진료비 수준에 대한 치료효과와 타 의료기관에 비해 저렴한 진료비가 경쟁우위를 확보할 수 있는 중요요인으로 이에 따른 이미지 부각과 의료서비스의 질의 향상을 극대화하여 의료소비자들을 유인하는 전략이 필요하다.

Purpose: This study was performed to identify the relationship between patient's perceived quality of healthcare services and intention to re-visit. Method: The study subjects were 242 patients from three local clinics. The data were analyzed using SPSS PC+ 12.0 program for descriptive, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Result: Patients' perceived quality of healthcare services was measured 5.73$\pm$0.71 using the 7-point scale. The patients' perceived quality was moderately correlated with patient satisfaction (r=0.647, p<0.001) and intention to re-visit (r=0.604, p<0.001). Also, patient satisfaction was highly correlated with intention to re-visit (r=0.788, p<0.001). 3) the reliability factor of patients' perceived quality of healthcare services and patient satisfaction were found significant predictors of intention to re-visit. Conclusion: In conclusion, service quality evaluated by patients influenced on their intention of re-visit and especially, reliability was the most significantly influential variable.

Background: Organizational changes that involve healthcare hospital departments and care services of health districts, and ongoing technological innovations and developments in society increasingly expose healthcare workers (HCWs) to work-related stress (WRS). Minimizing occupational exposure to stress requires effective risk stress assessment and management programs. Methods: The authors conducted an integrated analysis of stress sentinel indicators, an integrated analysis of objective stress factors of occupational context and content areas, and an integrated analysis between nurses and physicians of hospital departments and care services of health districts in accordance with a multidimensional validated tool developed in Italy by the National Network for the Prevention of Work-Related Psychosocial Disorders. The purpose of this retrospective observational study was to detect and analyze in different work settings the level of WRS resulting from organizational changes implemented by hospital healthcare departments and care services of health districts in a sample of their employees. Results: The findings of the study showed that hospital HCWs seemed to incur a medium level risk of WRS that was principally the result of work context factors. The implementation of improvement interventions focused on team development, safety training programs, and adopting an ethics code for HCWs, and it effectively and significantly reduced the level of WRS risk in the workplace. Conclusion: In this study HCW resulted to be exposed to occupational stress factors susceptible to reduction. Stress management programs aimed to improve work context factors associated with occupational stress are required to minimize the impact of WRS on workers.

Serious social problems related to the elderly have appeared in the Gangwon Province because the population in this area is rapidly aging. Gangwon has the highest suicide rate and the highest percentage of single households. In the process of preparing for the super-aging society, Time Bank (TB) System has been actively used in 34 countries, especially in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan. In Korea, the Gumi Senior Club has joined this system since 2004. TB is a multilateral exchanged system based on the philosophy that everyone's time is valued equally. Time credits are given to the person who provides social services, such as citizen participation and elderly care. People receive the desired services using time credits or donating them. If this system were applied to the Gangwon Province in accordance with its characteristics, it would help to reduce the elderly's prejudices and manage their diverse health problems. A virtual local currency using IT technologies is needed to boost the regional economy. The elderly's participation in TB is strongly needed. Future research about the effectiveness of health management is then discussed.

본 연구는 2007년 대한간호협회 간호정책연구소에서 발간한 간호통계연보를 토대로 하여, 우리나라 보건의료 전문 인력의 수급실태와 그에 따른 문제점을 분석해보고 이를 해결하기 위한 방안의 하나로 외국인 전문 인력의 이민정책의 방향을 제시해보고자 하였다. 연구결과 연도별 보건의료인력 면허등록 현황 중, 간호사 등록현황을 보면 2004년을 제외하고 매년 1,000명 이상씩 더 등록된 것으로 나타났으며, 의사는 2002년에 4,000명 대로 등록된 반면 2004년도는 750명으로 그 편차가 매우 크게 나타났다. 보건의료는 국민의 건강 및 생명 유지를 통하여 노동력을 담보할 수 있는 기간재이기 때문에 국가는 기본적으로 모든 국민들이 보건의료 서비스를 공급받는데 지장이 없도록 해야 한다는 당위성을 갖는다. 때문에 의료서비스에 대한 접근성이 현저하게 떨어지는 낙후 지역을 중심으로 선진국의 사례를 모범으로 삼아 외국인 보건의료 전문 인력을 유치하여 활용하는 것은 낙후지역 주민들의 삶의 질의 향상시키고 지역적 통합에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
